The Presiding Bishop of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, also known as Winners Chapel, Bishop David Oyedepo, has declared that no amount of money, including $1bn, can entice him into partisan politics, insisting that it is completely outside his divine calling.
Naijaonpoint reports that Oyedepo made the assertion on Saturday while speaking at the impartation service of the church’s annual convocation, Shiloh 2025.
Addressing thousands of worshippers at the Faith Tabernacle, Canaanland, Ota, Ogun State, the cleric urged believers to remain committed to their God-given assignments, stressing that true dominion is found within one’s calling.
According to him, deviating into areas not ordained by God only leads to distraction and failure.
He said, “In 2015, I warned the church that trouble was coming. Didn’t trouble come?
“Partisan politics is off my calling. If you give me $1bn to join politics, I won’t, because it’s off my course.”
The revered Christian cleric further underscored the urgency of the present times, describing the world as being in desperate need of divine intervention.
Quoting from the Scriptures, Oyedepo said humanity is yearning for the manifestation of believers who are fully aligned with God’s purpose.
He said, “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.
“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.”
Oyedepo’s message formed part of a broader exhortation urging members of the church to remain steadfast in their divine purpose and resist distractions from worldly ambitions.
He stressed that by focusing on their calling, believers could positively influence their communities and nations, just as biblical figures such as Joseph and Daniel did in their time.
