According to the report from the Vanguard, Bishop David Oyedepo, the esteemed founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide, delivered profound spiritual teachings to his followers during a recent Sunday service. His focus was on guiding believers on how to access abundant provisions and receive divine solutions through faith.
In his sermon titled "The Bible: A Most Reliable Guide to Life," Bishop Oyedepo underscored the significance of anchoring life's challenges on the principles found in God's Word. He made it clear that he has never mismanaged church finances and his family has never had to pray for basic sustenance, drawing inspiration from biblical scriptures as a moral compass.
During the service, Bishop Oyedepo shared, "Every sincere question has an answer with Jesus." He recounted a personal revelation where he felt assured of his provision, quoting Luke 10:7, which emphasizes the entitlement of workers to their wages and the need to rely on the goodness of others without seeking personal gain.
He further expressed, "I have never prayed for what to eat in my family. The light of life, the five loaves, and two fishes were more than enough. I have never cornered church money of one naira to my side, the light of life." This statement reflects his unwavering trust in divine provision and integrity in financial matters.
Bishop Oyedepo also delved into strategies for church growth, drawing insights from the book "Reach Out for the Light." He elaborated on four essential points crucial for fostering church expansion, even in adverse circumstances, urging the congregation to seek spiritual enlightenment and embrace the teachings of Jesus.
Concluding his message with a powerful quote from John 6:63, he affirmed, "It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life." This encapsulates his belief in the transformative power of spiritual truths and the vitality of following divine guidance for a fulfilling life.
