The Presiding Bishop of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, aka Winners Chapel, Bishop David Oyedepo, has declared that no amount of money, not even $1 billion, would tempt him into the world of politics.
The preacher disclosed this while speaking during the impartation service of the church’s annual convocation, Shiloh 2025.
Oyedepo encouraged church members to stay focused on their divine purpose, stressing that it’s within their specific calling that they can make a real impact, “rule their world”, and join God’s end-time army.
He said, “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.”
The bishop further highlighted the urgency of the times, noting the world’s desperate need for divine intervention.
“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 further said.
His words came as part of a wider message encouraging the church to remain steadfast in their God-given purposes rather than being distracted by worldly pursuits.
By focusing on their calling, he stressed, believers can influence their communities and nations positively, just as biblical figures like Joseph and Daniel did.
Shiloh 2025 commenced on December 9and will conclude on December 14, 2025 at the Faith Tabernacle, Canaanland, Ota, Ogun State, bringing together worshippers for spiritual teachings, impartation, and fellowship.
