The founder of Living Faith Church, Bishop David Oyedepo, on Sunday urged worshippers to secure their permanent voter cards (PVCs) ahead of the 2027 general elections.

He gave the advice during a church service titled, ‘Breaking the Curses of Life’.

Mr Oyedepo emphasised that obtaining the card is a civic responsibility, stressing that members must not neglect their right to participate in shaping the nation’s future.

He noted that the PVC empowered citizens to decide who governs them, insisting that no one should be disenfranchised in the coming general elections.

The cleric reminded worshippers that their votes carried a lot of weight and therefore urged them to prepare early, rather than wait until the election season kicked off.

According to him, political leadership influences national destiny, and believers must not remain passive when opportunities to choose leaders present themselves.

He further stressed that spiritual authority does not replace civic duty, adding that Christians must balance prayers with active participation in democratic processes.

“We have a right to determine who rules us and this church, with the millions we are, has a say in it, so be part of it,” he said.

The sermon concluded with a call for collective responsibility, urging the faithful to see their PVCs as instruments of change and national transformation.
