Faith Tabernacle is the headquarter church of Winners' Chapel. It is in Canaanland, Ota, a suburb of Ogun state, Nigeria. Faith Tabernacle has a capacity of 50,400 worshippers and it is reputed to be the world's biggest church in terms of capacity. The Church building was constructed in under a year in 1998 and hosts the annual Shiloh religious festival which comes up every December in the same Canaanland. The Pastor in charge of Winners' Chapel, Bishop David Oyedepo, said that building the 50,000 capacity, biggest church in the world is from a revelation God gave to him many years before it was constructed.
Famous quotes containing the words faith and/or tabernacle:
“Three million of such stones would be needed before the work was done. Three million stones of an average weight of 5,000 pounds, every stone cut precisely to fit into its destined place in the great pyramid. From the quarries they pulled the stones across the desert to the banks of the Nile. Never in the history of the world had so great a task been performed. Their faith gave them strength, and their joy gave them song.”
—William Faulkner (1897–1962)
“In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun.
Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber.”
—Bible: Hebrew Psalm XIX (l. XIX, 4–5)
