Bishop David Oyedepo firmly declared that partisan politics lies outside his divine calling during the impartation service at Shiloh 2025. He spoke at the Faith Tabernacle in Canaanland, Ota, Ogun State, where the annual event runs from December 9 to December 14, 2025. The Presiding Bishop of Living Faith Church Worldwide, also known as Winners Chapel, stressed the need for believers to stay true to their God-given paths.
Oyedepo told the gathering that no amount of money could sway him into politics. “If you give me $1 billion to join politics, I won’t, because it’s off my course,” he said. He added, “Partisan politics is off my calling.”
The cleric urged worshippers to focus on ruling their world through their individual callings instead of chasing worldly distractions. He pointed to biblical figures like Joseph and Daniel, who solved national crises without entering partisan roles. Oyedepo described an emerging “army of God” ready to tackle challenges in these end times.
He reminded the audience of his 2015 warning about coming troubles, asking, “In 2015, I warned the church that trouble was coming. Didn’t trouble come?” The world now groans in darkness, he noted, awaiting the manifestation of God’s children as promised in Romans 8:19.
As thousands gathered for spiritual impartation and fellowship, Oyedepo’s words reinforced commitment to divine purpose over political ambition. His stance offers clarity amid pressures on religious leaders to engage in governance.
