Presiding Bishop of Living Faith Church Worldwide alias Winners Chapel David Oyedepo has said he would consider it a demotion if invited to become Nigeria’s president.
Oyedepo stated this on Sunday, October 4 during a sermon at his church’s headquarters in Ota, Ogun State.
The cleric said God asked him in 1984 if he would like to be at the top and he responded affirmatively, prompting God to instruct him to follow his instructions to the letter.
“1984! Do you know that’s what led me to say, ‘I will consider it a demotion…’ and I’m saying it again, some are very upset about it, that’s their problem,” Oyedepo said.
“I will consider it a demotion if I were invited to be the president of this great country. It’s a great country, it’s a great honour for anyone to be President but that’s not where I belong. I belong to ‘above all nations.’”
Oyedepo explained that more than 100 nations were connected to the service at the time.
“That’s where we belong. Some can see it, others can’t see it: They say, ‘I don’t believe it, I just need food, water and eat, drink and die. I don’t need above all nations,” he said.
“I’ve said it before; the highest concentration of giants in this generation will emerge from this platform.
“Watch, if I’m the one to lift you, I can only 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 is no help from man under heaven no matter who that man is that will compare with help from God.”
