Senior pastor at the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA), Biodun Fatoyinbo, opens up about his undisclosed illness and praises David Oyedepo for his support during the illness.
Last year, concerns were raised about his health after frail and thin pictures of him surfaced online, but the comment section on the church’s Instagram page was disabled. However, on May 11, 2023, he attended an International Minister Conference organized by Oyedepo in Ota, Ogun State, where he confirmed that he was sick last year and testified about his recovery without revealing the nature of his illness.
Fatoyinbo mentioned that during his medical treatment, his mentor Oyedepo prayed for him and spoke blessings over him. “Last year, I was a little bit ill and against everything, the medical sciences, Papa (Oyedepo) spoke, and I am here today. And I want to give God the glory!” he stated.
The COZA pastor also revealed that he had been a drummer boy in the early days of Winners Chapel before receiving a call from God to start his own church. He testified that he had been observing Oyedepo from a distance for many years, but his life took a remarkable turn when he got closer to him. Additionally, he mentioned that COZA is acquiring properties and operating like a franchise, where all branches resemble the headquarters, thanks to his mentor-protege relationship with Oyedepo.
