The founder and Presiding Bishop of Living Faith Church Worldwide (Winners Chapel), Bishop David Oyedepo, has again dismissed any suggestion of his involvement in partisan politics, declaring that no amount of money can pull him away from his God-given assignment.
The cleric made the statement while ministering at an impartation session during Shiloh 2025, the church’s annual convocation, held at the Faith Tabernacle, Canaanland, Ota, Ogun State.
Addressing a large congregation, Oyedepo charged Christians to remain focused on their divine mandate, explaining that genuine authority and lasting impact only come when individuals operate within the scope of their calling.
He noted that staying aligned with God’s purpose is the pathway to exercising dominion and relevance in life.
Reflecting on past events, the bishop reminded worshippers that he had earlier cautioned the church about looming challenges in the nation. He reiterated his long-held stance on politics, stressing that political participation does not fall within his spiritual assignment.
According to him, even an offer of enormous financial reward would not persuade him to cross that line, as doing so would mean deviating from the course God has set for him.
Oyedepo also spoke about what he described as the critical nature of the present global climate, pointing out that the world is experiencing deep distress and is in need of divine solutions. Quoting from the Book of Romans, he said creation is eagerly waiting for the manifestation of God’s children to bring light in times of darkness.
He further prophesied that believers would soon rise to address national and societal challenges, likening the coming move of God to the interventions seen through biblical figures such as Joseph and Daniel. He described the season as one marked by extraordinary acts beyond human expectations.
The message formed part of a wider exhortation urging Christians not to be sidetracked by worldly pursuits but to stay committed to fulfilling their spiritual purpose, which he said is key to transforming communities and nations.
Shiloh 2025, which commenced on December 9, is expected to conclude on December 14, drawing participants from Nigeria and other parts of the world for days of teaching, prayer, and spiritual impartation at the church’s international headquarters.
