At the foundation laying for Faith Tabernacle, Bishop Oyedepo announced a 24 storey Tower that would soon be built. Today, the twin 12 storey each Towers making a total of 24 storey are already up to roofing level and lest I forget, I observed the twin helicopter landing roof being emplaced above the twin towers on Sunday 24th March among many amazing features which will be revealed in a very short while.
Why else is the Ark Project unique?
PLANNING AND DELIVERY
From the onset and entrenched in her Mandate, no project should exceed 2 years. However while that has not happened as explained earlier, the Church made sure she purchased all necessary materials which would be required for the project in advance. By this act alone, she beat the challenge of erratic naira to dollar exchange rate which became a cause of great concern in the past 6 months. Very recently, Bishop Oyedepo indicated that every material required up to the roof to finish the project was already on ground.
TIMELINESS
During the groundbreaking, no completion date was announced unlike it happened at the Faith Tabernacle. However, last December, Church Gist broadcasted the video where Bishop Kwadwo Bempah revealed his conversation with Bishop Oyedepo in which he was told that the Ark will be dedicated in September and so we wait…hopefully and with bated breaths for the completion in 3 years and 6 months (by September).
NO PRESSURE ON MEMBERS, STAFF OR OTHER OBLIGATIONS.
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.
This implies that salary payment have not been withheld for the sake of projects. Nobody has been told to sacrifice his income or family on the Altar of the Ark. Yet to God’s glory, the people have remained committed to seeing the project grow as it gradually comes to completion.
THE GLORY OF THE LATTER HOUSE
The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the Lord of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the Lord of hosts.
Haggai 2:9
Interestingly, it has been remarked humorously by none other than Bishop Oyedepo that Faith Tabernacle looks like ‘boys Quarters’ near the Ark. In my mind, I see the Ark and Faith Tabernacle like the Biblical Rose of Sharon. Faith Tabernacle like the branch while the Ark rests on it like the budding Rose itself.
