The Presiding Bishop of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, also known as Winners Chapel, Bishop David Oyedepo, has declared that not even $1 billion could tempt him into politics.
According to Politics Nigeria, he made the statement during the impartation service of the church’s annual convocation, Shiloh 2025.
Bishop Oyedepo urged church members to focus on their divine callings, stressing that it is within their God-given purpose that they can “rule their world” and be enlisted in 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. Even if you offered me $1 billion, I would not join politics because it is not my course.”
The bishop highlighted the urgency of the times, noting the world’s desperate need for divine intervention.
“The world is groaning in darkness, but as stated in Romans 8:19, it is waiting for the earnest manifestations of the children of God. The army of God is about to rise to provide solutions to national crises in the manner of Joseph and Daniel. It is a day of what eyes have not seen and ears have not heard,” he added.
His message encouraged believers to remain steadfast in their God-given purposes rather than being distracted by worldly pursuits. By focusing on their calling, he stressed, Christians can positively influence their communities and nations, following the example of biblical figures like Joseph and Daniel.
Shiloh 2025 began on December 9 and will conclude on December 14, 2025, at the Faith Tabernacle, Canaanland, Ota, Ogun State. The event brings together worshippers for spiritual teachings, impartation, and fellowship.
