Presiding Bishop, Living Faith Church Worldwide, David Oyedepo on Sundaysaid he would consider it a demotion if invited to become Nigeria’s president.
Oyedepo,
during his sermon, said God specifically, in 1984 asked him if he wasinterested in going top and that he answered in the affirmative.He said God told him, “Then whatever I tell you to do, do it. Don’t runaround: whatever I tell you to do, do it. Don’t muse about: whatever I tell youto do. Don’t do what they do: do what I tell you to do. “1984!Do you know that’s what led me to say, “I will consider it a demotion…” and I’msaying it again, some are very upset about it, that’s their problem.
“I will consider it a demotion if I were invited to be thePresident of this great country. It’s a great country, it’s a great honour foranyone to be President but that’s not where I belong. I belong to ‘above allnations,” he said.
According to Oyedepo, “Angry or happy, there are more than100 nations now hooked on to this service; and we all belong there together.That’s where we belong. Some can see it, others can’t see it: They say, “Idon’t believe it, I just need food, water and eat, drink and die. I don’t needabove all nations.”
“I’ve said it before, “the highest concentration of giantsin this generation will emerge from this platform.” If you are one of them, letme hear your loudest Amen. The same way, this Church did not need any humanhelp to get to where we are, you won’t bow to any devil to scale any height inyour life.
“Watch, if I’m the one to lift you, I canonly take you to where my hand can reach. Imagine the everlasting arm of Jesus,He picks you up, scaling everlasting heights. I can’t get you there. There isno help from man under heaven no matter who that man that will compare with
help from God.”
