THE ARK:
A MILLENNIUM AND A HALF AFTER HAGIA SOPHIA
4 CENTURIES AFTER ST PETERS
4 DECADES AFTER OUR LADY
LESSONS LEARNT BY BISHOP OYEDEPO
Some Lessons
It Is Enough!
The Tabernacle of Moses was the first recorded religious mega structure ordained by God. With details passed to Moses, the pioneer leader of the 12 tribes of Israel called for building offerings. Consequently, offerings of gold, silver, linen, oil and fine wood were brought. The generosity became so overwhelming that in Exodus 36:6, Moses commanded-It is enough!!!
It was the first recorded capital project where leadership had to halt fundraising and this remains the eternal template for God-first giving for all times; no murmurs or manipulation. A benchmark for spirit led giving.
One of the unique experiences with the Ark Project is that for the first time in my life, I hear 'it is enough'. Bishop Oyedepo himself as well as Dr Pastor Paul Enenche have told the story of how someone had come with offering for the Ark Project and was told that everything required was already provided. This was reiterated during the groundbreaking when Bishop Oyedepo explained how the fund was managed and untouched during the 5 years in which he awaited divine direction on the project commencement. Since I understand that for a project this size, avenues to spend resources abound, I tend to see this statement as more of a sense of faith and confidence in God than any other interpretation one may possibly give. Stadia around the world cost more than what has been spent on the Ark But...God is more than enough.
The Role of the State:
By 537 AD, Emperor Justinian inaugurated Hagia Sophia in Constantinople as a state funded project. It was a feat of both logistics and architectural genius. Funded by the imperial treasury and taxes from the Eastern Roman Empire, Hagia Sophia was so politically tied to the State and eventually spiritually 'cold' that on conquering Constantinople and changing it to Istanbul, the use of the Church was also changed without much resistance in 1453.
Bishop Oyedepo has consequently reiterated at every point in time that there was no government funding or foreign aid in the building of not just the Ark but Canaanland as a whole. Consequently, the Ark is not a tool now or in future to display the glory of man, government or nation even though inference will naturally be drawn by some, but a place of worship of the Most High God alone without attachment to any political party, government or power. He has stated often times in faith and for posterity that this building must remain a Church and nothing else.
Again in his exact words:
"When Jesus returns, He will meet this Church a Vibrant Altar of Fire. Even if it is 2000 years from now, it doesn't matter.
Those after us will be hotter than us.
Those taking over from those after us will be hotter than they are"
Bishop David Oyedepo
Funding and Doctrine:
Some 50+ years after Hagia Sophia's purpose was charged, the rebuilding of St Peters Basilica by Pope Julius VI commenced. However there was a challenge of funding for a project of such magnitude.
Consequently, the sale in cash of indulgence which had recently been introduced was ramped up by the 'Mother' Church.
The practice of codifying indulgences as part of Catholic doctrine emerged in the 11th Century. By the 16th century and just about the time St Peters Basilica project began, Priests began openly accepting cash donations for indulgences. Dominican friars like Johann Tetzel popularized the saying,
"As soon as the coin in the coffer rings, the soul from purgatory springs".
This sparked significant criticism, including Martin Luther's Ninety-Five Theses in 1517.
In particular, theses 50 and 51 stated as follows:
Christians should be taught, if the Pope knew the ways and doings of the preachers of indulgences, he would prefer that St.

"As soon as the coin in the coffer rings, the soul from purgatory springs".
This sparked significant criticism, including Martin Luther's Ninety-Five Theses in 1517.
In particular, theses 50 and 51 stated as follows:
Christians should be taught, if the Pope knew the ways and doings of the preachers of indulgences, he would prefer that St.
Peter's Minster should be burnt to ashes, rather than that it should be built up of the skin, flesh and bones of his lambs...This implied that if the Pope truly understood the abuses of indulgence preachers, he would rather see St. Peter's Basilica burned down than built on the exploitation of the faithful.
51 stated that-Christians should be taught, the Pope, as it is his bounden duty to do, is indeed also willing to give of his own money - and should St. Peter's be sold thereto - to those from whom the preachers of indulgences do most extort money.
This also meant that
it would (or should) be the pope's wish, as it is his duty, to give of his own money to very many of those from whom certain hawkers of pardons cajole money, even if it meant the selling St. Peter's Basilica (which was under construction) to achieve that.
In reaction, the Catholic Church doubled down. Pope Leo X issued the bull Cum postquam (“When After”), which defined the doctrine of indulgences and addressed the issue of the authority of the church to absolve the faithful from temporal punishment. Luther’s views were declared to be in conflict with the teaching of the Catholic Church.
This act led to fatal consequences for the Roman Catholic Church.
Luther's Theses, which questioned the Catholic Church's authority directly led to the Protestant Reformation.
It resulted in the formation of numerous Protestant denominations, including Lutheranism, Calvinism and others, diverging from the Roman Catholic Church. Luther's critique of the Pope's authority and his emphasis on individual interpretation of the Bible led to a weakening of papal influence. The Protestant Reformation continues to have a significant impact on Western Christianity, shaping various denominations and their theological beliefs.
Before the Protestant Reformation, the vast majority of Christians in Europe and all over the world were Catholic. Estimates suggest that around 95-98% of Christians were Catholics in Western Europe at the time.
As at today, only 39.5% of Europe's Christians and 50% of the world's Christians are said to be Catholic. This shows that as a result of the Reformation, the Catholic Church is today much less than half of Christians globally. Notably, there was nothing like 'Roman Catholic' at the time. As at 1053, it was still referred to as the Western Catholic Church. The term Roman Catholic began in England as a slur against the Catholic Church and this was coined by Henry VIII in 1525, some 8 years after the release of the 95 theses.

Part 3
THE ARK LEGACY PROJECT:
1,500 YEARS, 400 YEARS AND 40 YEARS AFTER HAGIA SOPHIA, ST PETERS BASILICA AND OUR LADY OF PEACE BASILICA
APPARENT LESSONS LEARNT BY BISHOP OYEDEPO
Funding and Doctrine (contd from Part 1):
Bishop Oyedepo has ensured that the Ark project didn't affect any other project in the Church. Notably, the Kingdom Care as well as Transport Schemes were initiated or re-introduced to cater primarily for challenged members of the Church. Also no offering whatsoever is raised in services with regards to the Ark project whether in Canaanland or any branch/parish since inception. I believe that this has never happened for a project anywhere close to this in the history of Christianity. No special offerings, no special group of sponsors, no nothing, yet on a personal note, my biggest givings towards any building project in my life by plain conviction has been towards the Ark project yet I am not 'begging for factory" as so many haters of the Church pretending to love the poor do on social media..
In fact whenever the mention of the Ark is made in church, it's always as a testimony or a point of thanksgiving. Prayers of thanksgiving for the Ark commenced on 17th March 2025.
It has been said that if not that the project is so close to Faith Tabernacle and too big to ignore, nobody would have known that such a gargantuan project was going on. Bishop Oyedepo's mantra remains Matthew 6:33...Seek ye first the Kingdom.... and all these things (that others are dying to get) shall be added..." Thus focusing on soul winning and not fundraising throughout the period of the mega project. He has rather emphasized reaching souls, bringing them to Church and nurturing them to growth. By so doing, souls like the harvest are preserved and the role of the Church as the Barn for harvested souls from the vineyard is maintained. There have been many instances of newly won converts including children bringing in more souls such as members of their families and loved ones to be nurtured by the Word.
Many may ask, how then is the Ark being funded? The answer lies in the first example of the Tabernacle of Moses-Spirit led sacrificial giving. As far as I can remember, during Shiloh 2015, Faith Theatre (as the Ark was then called) was introduced to the Church. It was announced that the annual Shiloh sacrifice of that year would go towards the Ark, the announcement was made again at Shiloh 2023. Personally I disregarded the quietness of the Church and went in search of the Ark Project account details. I succeeded after almost a year as it was eventually made public after 3 years. Never have I seen an organization which keeps project account details away from the public until the Ark project. The aim of keeping the account details away from the people was to keep the congregation away from any kind of pressure.
Oyedepo tells the story of how he and other leaders in the early days of the Church decided to stretch themselves to raise money to pay the Church rent of ₦3000 after a member who pledged suddenly disappointed and announcement could not be made in Church which would embarrass the pledger and put the whole Church under undue pressure.
The Mandate states that:
The Church members or public must never be put under any kind of pressure to give towards any kind of project. Launching and appeal funds are prohibited.
Additionally it says:
All recurrent financial obligations must be given priority over project disbursement.
It goes further to instruct:
On no account should recurrent financial obligations to staff or third parties be delayed due to project execution.
It then concludes on projects:
Effort to provide appropriate facilities shall not be allowed to hinder spiritual growth of the Church.
Today the Ark is heading towards completion with breakneck speed and noiselessly yet none except outsiders, onlookers, the gates of hell and the gates of men such as factory beggars who do not give but want to convert kingdom resources (whose God is their belly) are against the project and hide behind their keypads to type like

Some of the people criticizing the building of the Ark will rather spend time on TV watching football in some of the best stadia in the world then engage also in gambling. Same people will rather see football stadia and betting centres filled than the Church filled. It's not really about the growth of the Kingdom but an anti kingdom and Judas Iscariot mindset.
For these, the response is that the Church of Christ is not built to satisfy the gates of hell...and of men. That must have been why the Lord Jesus Christ Affirmed...
... And upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD’S HOUSE shall be established in the top of the mountains and shall be exalted above the hills: and all nations shall flow to it. Isaiah 2:2

SOME PASTORS SAY THEY ARE FULL TIME PASTORS BUT THEY ARE FULL TIME LAZY
THERE ARE TOO MANY LAZY PEOPLE IN CHURCH
THERE IS NO PLACE FOR AN IDLE MAN IN THE KINGDOM
- Bishop David Oyedepo
Bishop Oyedepo whilst preaching on Sunday has addressed slothfulness among believers and some pastors. He said "I came back from Ghana one time and I began to teach on There Is No Food For An Idle Man. I saw that inscription on a lorry in the hotel where I was staying and I said if I was going to Nigeria by road, this is the lorry I will board because it will be speaking to me till I get there. Church Gist. There are too many lazy people in the Church, too many lazy people in the church. You know some pastors say they are full time pastors but they are full time lazy. I told my sons working with me. Most people think ministry is preaching. They have lost 90 per cent of it. Preaching is 10 per cent. The work that brings the preaching is the work."
He further stressed that there is no excuse to be idle, in his own words "There is someone here that was selling smoked fish in Britain and built a factory and a house. Smoked fish! You think they don't like it? They were saying "I want smoked fish." When the idea is from God, everybody will like it. Young people, listen to me. You sit down from morning till night in the name of looking for a job in your mother's house. You eat morning, afternoon and night. They say fast, you say you have ulcer. There is something for everyone to do. He that does not work, let him not eat. Church Gist. God provides for our daily bread by showing us what to do to keep going. There is no place for an idle man in the Kingdom. One young man here was hawking bread to pay his way through school in Covenant. Another one was hawking bread in molue to earn his first degree in UNILAG. There is no dirty business. Every business that engenders legitimate earning is a dignified business."

You sit down from morning till night in the name of looking for a job in your mother's house. You eat morning, afternoon and night. They say fast, you say you have ulcer. There is something for everyone to do. He that does not work, let him not eat. Church Gist. God provides for our daily bread by showing us what to do to keep going. There is no place for an idle man in the Kingdom. One young man here was hawking bread to pay his way through school in Covenant. Another one was hawking bread in molue to earn his first degree in UNILAG. There is no dirty business. Every business that engenders legitimate earning is a dignified business."
WHAT ARE YOU DOING PLAITING YOUR HAIR OR PUTTING ON EARRINGS AS A MAN?
BEHAVE CULTURALLY, EVEN IF YOU DON'T KNOW SCRIPTURES.
- Bishop David Abioye
While preaching at the Anointing To Reign Service, Bishop Abioye encouraged young men to recognize their royalty in Christ and avoid appearing like 'street boys'.
He said, "Kings are recognized for royalty, mentally and physically. Royalty! Stop behaving like a street boy. Royalty, including your appearance, don't dress carelessly. Royalty is synonymous with kingship. Carry yourself in a manner that when people see you in public, they see something unique about you. Don't look like a rogue. Even in the system of the World, you don't see people in position dress anyhow. Church Gist. Put earrings as a man, what are you doing with it? Plaiting your hair as a man, what are you doing with it? I know many young people won't like what I'm saying, but I have to show it to you from Scriptures and from culture. Even if you don't know Scriptures, behave culturally. What is fitting, is fitting. Why would you like to be like a woman, when He created you like a man? Why aren't you satisfied with the way God made you? Royalty reflects spiritually, mentally and physically. Behave it, act it, look it!"
