‘Even $1bn Won’t Lure Me into Politics’ — Oyedepo Reiterates Stance

The Presiding Bishop of Living Faith Church Worldwide (LFC), Dr David Olaniyi Oyedepo, has again stated that no amount of money, including $1 billion, would persuade him to venture into partisan politics.

Oyedepo made the declaration during the impartation service at the church’s annual convocation, Shiloh 2025, where he charged members to remain committed to their divine calling and take leadership within their spheres of influence.

Recalling his earlier warnings, the cleric said, “In 2015, I warned the church that trouble was coming. Didn’t trouble come?”

He emphasized that politics does not align with his life’s assignment, saying, “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 further noted that the world is burdened by darkness but awaits spiritual transformation, citing Romans 8:19.

“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 said.

According to him, a new wave of God’s army is set to rise to address national challenges, drawing parallels with biblical figures.

“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.
