In a recent video on YouTube, Bishop David Oyedepo highlighted the transformative power of the Bible, describing it as the "light of life" that guides believers in all aspects of their existence. Addressing a congregation in Lagos, the bishop revealed how Scripture illuminates paths and decisions across various life domains, including spirituality, career, family, and health.
He shared a personal anecdote to illustrate the Bible’s role in decision-making. When he felt called to full-time ministry, he candidly asked God about his provision: This question, rooted in genuine concern, was met with divine assurance, reflecting the trust and clarity the Bible imparts to those who seek it earnestly.
According to him, "God’s Word contains the light of life. That means it directs on the way to go in all areas of life. The light of life in the Bible impacts on our spiritual life, our business and career, our family life, on our health. The light of life showing the way to go. In the book lies the light of life. We draw from this book the light of life. It shows us which way to go, which steps to take. I asked the Lord when He told me to go into full time ministry, “Lord who pays me?” because to beg I am not cultured for that. I was sincere."
