Apostle Chibuzor Gift Chinyere, the General Overseer of Omega Power Ministries (OPM), has addressed the ongoing trend of constructing massive church sanctuaries, clarifying that his true aspiration lies elsewhere.
Apostle Chibuzor Responds to Mega-Church Trend
The Port Harcourt-based cleric took to his official Facebook page on May 4, 2026, to share his perspective, shortly after news broke about Bishop David Oyedepo's 109,000-seat auditorium project known as "The Ark" at Living Faith Church in Ota. The post quickly gained traction, sparking widespread discussion among social media users.
In his statement, Apostle Chibuzor emphasized that his focus is not on constructing the largest place of worship in the world. Instead, he is committed to human capital development, a calling he has demonstrated through numerous philanthropic initiatives, including free schools and hospitals.
His True Dream
Accompanied by photos of a large congregation, the cleric wrote: "My DREAM is not to build the largest auditorium in the world. My DREAM is to transform lives, lift people out of poverty, and lead them to GOD."
This declaration has resonated with many, drawing both praise and critical reactions from the public.
Public Reactions to the Post
The post has amassed thousands of engagements, with commenters sharing diverse views. Nathan Anthony advised: "Pls sir you are doing great under God. But my little advice is that you face your mission and forget about who is building whatever. Your dream and their dream is not the same. God will judge us base on our works."
Ovunda Kelvin offered a different perspective: "You can still build a big auditorium and still impact people's lives and also win them to christ." Meanwhile, Chibuisi Okorafor Chelsea remarked: "Private jet and big auditorium members will start crying and swearing now. Ndi eriri eri, mad people."
The cleric's statement has ignited a broader conversation about priorities in ministry, with many applauding his emphasis on social impact over architectural grandeur.
