The General Overseer of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, aka Winners Chapel, Bishop David Oyedepo, has urged people to work hard with faith in God to succeed in their endeavours instead of relying on family inheritance and history.
Oyedepo’s message during the first Service, at the Covenant Day of Business and Career Breakthrough, noted that there is no lineage of success and that everybody works his way to succeed.

Speaking further, he said that Abraham gave Isaac all that he had, but he never succeeded in it. He had to dig the ground, he had to plant the seed. He dug, they filled it and he said, “no way, I am going to get through.” His breakthrough was not on his inheritance. He dug and dug until he became the envy of the Philistines. “You can’t succeed on somebody’s else inheritance. You can’t win a race running with another man’s legs. You better get up,” he said.
He said that he told his father when he was told that, “when you die, whatever belongs to me, give it to the others.” According to him, he had an understanding of it. It is not guesswork. He was 25 years old when I said that and he had no single plot of land in the world. “Can’t we close now, that is the summary of this subject? I have given you the summary before we started the lecture,” he concluded.

Finally, you have to make your way prosperous and command good success by your choice to take responsibility (Joshua 1:8).
He advised that you pray for yourself any prayer you want to pray, so he can do the teaching that he has to do. Abraham became successful after 75. He took responsibility and went through it.
