Founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide Bishop David Oyedepo has said he will not participate in partisan politics, stating that no amount of money, including $1 billion, can make him deviate from his calling.
Bishop Oyedepo spoke during the impartation service at Shiloh, the church’s convocation holding at the Faith Tabernacle, Canaanland, Ota, Ogun State.
According to him, believers must remain focused on their areas of calling, noting that relevance and impact come from staying within one’s purpose.
“Partisan politics is off my calling. If you give me $1 billion to join politics, I won’t, because it’s off my course,” he said.
The cleric referenced Romans 8:19, saying the world is in need of solutions that would come through people who understand and stay committed to their divine assignments.
“In 2015, I warned the church that trouble was coming. Didn’t trouble come?” he said.
“The world is groaning in darkness, but the world is waiting for the manifestation of the children of God.”
Oyedepo added that those called by God would play roles in addressing national challenges, drawing examples from biblical figures.
“The army of God is about to emerge to proffer solutions to national crises in the order of Joseph and Daniel,” he said.
Shiloh began on Tuesday, December 9 and is scheduled to end on Sunday, December 14, with participants attending sessions focused on teachings, prayers and impartation.
