Not even $1bn could make me join politics – Oyedepo
The Presiding Bishop of Living Faith Church Worldwide, also known as Winners Chapel, David Oyedepo, has declared that no amount of money, including one billion dollars, would entice him into partisan politics.
Oyedepo made the remark while speaking to worshippers during the impartation service at the church’s annual convocation, Shiloh 2025. He urged members to remain committed to their divine assignments and avoid straying into pursuits outside their calling.
Emphasising that politics is not part of his life’s mission, the cleric said, “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 also recalled previous admonitions to the church, adding, “In 2015, I warned the church that trouble was coming. Didn’t trouble come?”
Oyedepo stated that the world is in need of divine solutions to deepening crises. He referenced Romans 8:19, stating that “the world is groaning in darkness” and is waiting “for the earnest manifestations of the children of God.”
According to him, believers who stay committed to their God-given purpose would be positioned to provide answers to national and global challenges. “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,” he said.
