David Oyedepo, presiding bishop of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, also known as Winners Chapel, has ruled out any involvement in politics, insisting that no amount of money can persuade him to change his calling.
Gatekeepers News reports that the cleric spoke during the fifth day impartation service of the church’s annual convocation, Shiloh 2025, held at Faith Tabernacle, Canaan Land, Otta, Ogun State.
Reflecting on past warnings, Oyedepo recalled alerting members to difficult times ahead. He said, “In 2015, I warned the church that trouble was coming. Didn’t trouble come?”
He stressed that politics is completely outside his divine assignment, declaring that wealth would not influence his stance.
The cleric said, “If you gave me $1 billion, 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.”
Oyedepo encouraged church members to remain committed to their God-given purposes, noting that true fulfilment and impact come from staying within one’s calling.
According to him, believers can only dominate their world and play their roles in God’s plan when they operate in their areas of divine purpose.
The bishop also spoke on the condition of the world, describing it as being in need of divine intervention. 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.”
He added that solutions to national crises would soon emerge through God’s end-time army. Oyedepo 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.”
