Is Oyedepo’s daughter learning how to perform miracles or she’s just making fun of her father?
Joyce Oyedepo is Bishop David Oyedepo’s youngest daughter. She’s in her early 20’s and studies in the United States, but she is also involved in her father’s ministry. Apparently she would love to do miraculous works just like her father famously does.

On her Facebook page, she ‘performed’ a live ‘miracle’ where she prayed over one of her hands which she said was shorter than the other. In the video (which she has since deleted), she is seen kneeling and praying for ‘every vertebrae and disc in my upper back to be completely gone…’ and then immediately after, she starts to say ‘Thank you Jesus… can you see it?… I’m raising it up so you can see clearly…’
Meanwhile, as she carries out this ‘miracle’, she keeps chuckling and stifling her laughter. Obviously she’s aware of how ridiculous the whole thing looks. Perhaps that’s how she feels when her father performs some improbable miracles in their church, like when a congregant’s breasts were made equal in size and big after the bishop prayed for her.
The fact that she deleted the original video does not mean it’s over; a Facebook user got it and posted it on his own page. The comments have unexpectedly shown how Nigerians feel about the miracles her father claims to do.
One part of us wants to believe that Miss Oyedepo genuinely wants to win souls for her father. The other part cannot get over the mischievous chuckles she continues to give till the video ends. And if you listen carefully around the 1:26 mark, it sounded like she said, ‘Oh shit‘.
What do you think?
