The Presiding Bishop of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, popularly known as Winners Chapel, Bishop David Oyedepo, has declared that no amount of money — not even $1 billion — could persuade him to venture into partisan politics.
Speaking during the impartation service at Shiloh 2025, the church’s annual convocation, the renowned cleric stressed that politics is completely outside his divine assignment.
Bishop Oyedepo urged members of the church to remain committed to their God-given callings, noting that true influence and impact come from operating within one’s purpose. According to him, it is only by staying aligned with their calling that believers can “rule their world” and play meaningful roles in God’s end-time agenda.
Recalling past warnings, the bishop said he had cautioned the church as far back as 2015 that difficult times were ahead — a prediction he believes has since been fulfilled.
“Partisan politics is off my calling,” he stated firmly. “If you give me $1 billion to join politics, I won’t, because it’s off my course.”
Highlighting the urgency of the present global situation,
Oyedepo described the world as being in deep distress and in desperate need of divine intervention. Drawing from Romans 8:19, he said creation is waiting earnestly for the manifestation of the children of God.He added that a new army of believers would soon rise to provide solutions to national and global crises, just as biblical figures such as Joseph and Daniel did in their time.
“The world is groaning in darkness,” he said. “But this is the day of what eyes have not seen and ears have not heard.”
The message formed part of a broader charge to believers to avoid distractions from worldly pursuits and instead focus on fulfilling their God-ordained purpose, which he said is key to transforming societies and nations.
Shiloh 2025, which began on December 9, is taking place at the Faith Tabernacle, Canaanland, Ota, Ogun State, and is scheduled to conclude on December 14. The event has drawn thousands of worshippers for days of spiritual teaching, impartation and fellowship.
