The Presiding Bishop of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, also known as Winners Chapel, David Oyedepo, has declared that he would not venture into partisan politics under any circumstances, insisting that even one billion dollars would not persuade him.
Oyedepo made the statement while addressing worshippers during the impartation service at Shiloh 2025, the church’s annual convocation. He used the moment to caution members against straying from their divine assignments in pursuit of paths that fall outside their God-given calling.
Speaking on the issue, the cleric stressed that political engagement does not align with his life’s purpose.
“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 said.
He also recalled earlier warnings he had issued to the church, reflecting on events that followed.
“In 2015, I warned the church that trouble was coming. Didn’t trouble come?” he asked.
Oyedepo further stated that the world is in desperate need of divine solutions to worsening crises. Citing Romans 8:19, he noted that “the world is groaning in darkness” and is waiting “for the earnest manifestations of the children of God.”
According to him, believers who remain committed to their God-ordained purpose will be positioned to offer solutions to both 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.
