Bishop David Abioye, former Vice-President of the Living Faith Church, also known as Winners Chapel, has launched his new church, the Living Word Conquerors Global Assembly (called Conquerors Global Assembly) in Abuja.
Abioye, until retirement last year, was Vice-President of the Bishop David Oyedepo-led.
Bishop Abioye, along with his colleague, Bishop Thomas Aremu, stepped down from their roles at Winners Chapel in October 2024, following a new church policy setting the retirement age of 55 for church leaders.
He was 63 and Bishop Aremu 67.
Unveiling his own Living Word Conquerors Global Assembly (called Conquerors Global Assembly), Abioye emphasized that the new ministry was born not out of personal ambition, but by obedience to a divine mandate.
He unveiled the new church’s name and logo to the gathering.
“This is not a personal project,” he declared to the congregation, who responded with cheers and applause. “It is a mission entrusted to me by divine assignment.”
“What is this move about? Having been counted faithful in the subject of stewardship by the election of grace, God has commissioned me to pursue, among other things, the inspiration of believers toward selfless service to God and humanity, the execution of revival missions across the nations, and the promotion of spiritual awakening. This includes godly living, passion for God, dedication to kingdom service, and heavenly consciousness.
“The inauguration of this Assembly is not in response to demands from people to start a church, but a manifestation of God’s eternal purpose—ordained from the foundation of the world—which is now unfolding in His appointed time.”
“In the name of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit—for the spiritual development, edification, and triumph of the saints globally—this Assembly is hereby inaugurated.
“I specially welcome you to Conquerors Global Assembly. Everyone witnessing this today will not cease to conquer in all affairs of life. You shall be named more than conquerors.”
In a prior announcement, Bishop Abioye had mentioned that the church would now offer a morning service in addition to its regular evening gatherings.
