During the 2026 Annual Youth Alive Convention, Oyedepo shared that the Ark was constructed without financial strain, attributing its completion to divine intervention and God's "unlimited breakthrough power." He clarified that the 109,000 seats are individual seats, not benches, and highlighted the extensive cooling system, noting that 20 chillers are installed, each capable of powering a 5,000-bed hotel.

Oyedepo stressed that the church has not recently solicited special offerings for the Ark's construction. Funds generated are directed towards other church initiatives, including assisting members in need. He stated that the church supports a minimum of 2,000 individuals weekly through its welfare programs and confirmed that all financial obligations for the Ark have been settled.
