The Presiding Bishop of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, also known as Winners Chapel, Bishop David Oyedepo, has stated unequivocally that no amount of money, not even $1 billion, could persuade him to venture into politics.
He made this declaration while speaking at the Day 5 Impartation Service of the church’s annual convocation, Shiloh 2025, as monitored by Channels Television. According to the cleric, political engagement outside one’s divine calling often leads to loss of dignity and purpose.
“In 2015, I warned the church that trouble was coming. Didn’t trouble come?” he asked.
“If you gave me one billion dollars, 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,” he said.
Bishop Oyedepo urged members of the church to remain focused on their God-given calling, emphasizing that true dominion and fulfillment are found only within one’s ordained assignment. He noted that it is in their area of calling that believers can “rule their world” and be enlisted as part of God’s end-time army. Highlighting the urgency of the present times, the bishop said the world is in desperate need of divine intervention.
“The world is groaning in darkness, but as stated in Romans 8:19, the world is waiting for the earnest manifestations of the children of God,” he said.
“The army of God is about to emerge to proffer solutions to national crises in the order of Joseph and Daniel. This is the day of what eyes have not seen nor ears heard.”
Shiloh 2025, which commenced on December 9, will conclude on December 14, 2025, at the Faith Tabernacle, Canaanland, Ota, Ogun State, drawing worshippers from around the world for spiritual teachings, impartation, and fellowship.
