Bishop David Oyedepo, the Presiding Bishop of Living Faith Church Worldwide (Winners Chapel), has declared that no amount of money, including $1 billion, could entice him to enter partisan politics.
The bishop made the remarks during the impartation service of the church’s annual convocation, Shiloh 2025, held at Faith Tabernacle, Canaanland, Ota, Ogun State.
“In 2015, I warned the church that trouble was coming. Didn’t trouble come? Partisan politics is off my calling. If you give me $1 billion to join politics, I won’t, because it’s off my course,” Oyedepo stated.
He urged church members to remain focused on their God-given purpose, stressing that true influence comes from fulfilling one’s divine calling rather than pursuing worldly ambitions.
“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,” he added.
Oyedepo emphasized that by staying true to their calling, believers can positively impact their communities and nations, following the example of biblical figures who used their positions to influence society.
Shiloh 2025, which began on December 9 and will conclude on December 14, 2025, brings together worshippers for spiritual teachings, fellowship, and impartation, reinforcing the church’s message of purpose and divine assignment.
