Bishop Oyedepo endorses son Isaac’s new church
The founder of Living Faith Church, David Oyedepo, has endorsed his son’s new ministry while admonishing him not to speak ill or malign any church during his ministerial work, according to a video shared by his son, Isaac Oyedepo, on his X account.
The video was shared on Tuesday.
The YouTube video showed Mr Oyedepo addressing a congregation believed to be his son’s church members.
“My son, His times are not in your hands. Your times are in His hands. Don’t be part of maligning or bringing down any ministry,” Mr Oyedepo said. “Some years ago, someone stood up to give a testimony and to malign TREM and Deeper Life, and I corrected it immediately. Never get to a point where you say this thing is only happening with me.”
Mr Oyedepo advised his son against imitating new-generation ministers, praying for him and his wife Ayomitide.
“As hands are laid on you, I pray for unusual grace for sustainable connectivity that will keep you going without sweat. I pray that impact will be your goal, not good preaching but great impact, and I pray that your life will interpret your message in the name of Jesus.
“As you step into this new phase of your assignment, may you be clothed with humility. I have never begged, yet I have never lacked; I have never borrowed, yet I have never lacked,” Mr Oyedepo prayed.
The younger Oyedepo recently unveiled his own church, The Isaac Oyedepo Evangelistic Ministries.
