Politics Is Not My Calling, Even $1bn Won’t Change That — Oyedepo
•By Admin
ABUJA – THE Presiding Bishop of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, Winners Chapel, Bishop David Oyedepo, has ruled out any involvement in partisan politics, declaring that even an offer of one billion dollars would not make him abandon his divine calling.
Oyedepo made the assertion while speaking at the Day Five impartation service of the church’s annual convocation, Shiloh 2025, held at the Faith Tabernacle, Canaanland, Ota, Ogun State, and monitored by Pointblank news.
According to the cleric, politics is completely outside his divine calling, warning that those who venture into areas they are not called to risk losing their dignity and respect.
“In 2015, I warned the church that trouble was coming. Didn’t trouble come?” he said.
“If you gave me one billion dollars, I would not even go near politics. It is off my calling. Those who are not called there will lose their dignity and respect. They will lose everything.”
The bishop urged members of the church to remain committed to their God-given assignments, stressing that fulfilment and true influence can only be achieved by staying within one’s area of calling.
He emphasised that it is only through alignment with divine purpose that believers can “rule their world” and be enlisted in what he described as the end-time army of God.
Oyedepo also highlighted the urgency of the present times, noting that the world is in desperate need of divine intervention.
“The world is groaning in darkness, but as embedded in Romans 8:19, the world is waiting for the earnest manifestations of the children of God,” he said.
“The army of God is about to emerge to proffer solutions to national crises in the order of Joseph and Daniel. It is the day of what eyes have not seen or ears heard.”
Shiloh 2025 commenced on December 9 and will conclude on December 14 at the Faith Tabernacle, Canaanland, Ota, Ogun State, bringing together worshippers for spiritual teachings, impartation, and fellowship.
