Wife of the presiding Bishop of Living Faith Church (LFC) Worldwide, Pastor Faith Oyedepo, has urged Winners to be obedient in the affairs of the Kingdom (of God).
On his part, her husband, Bishop David Oyedepo, said obedience is better than sacrifice.
The couple spoke during the Church’s monthly leadership conference.
For some, the declarations were subsumed in a parable, that of a subtle endorsement of the presidential candidate of the Labour Party for the 2023 general elections, Mr. Peter Obi.
Obi’s supporters have been campaigning on the mantra – ‘Obi-dient’.
Obi visited the Oyedepos at the Ota-based Church after which photos from the visit went viral as supporters lavishly shared them on social media.
Oyedepo’s wife, while citing Isaiah 1:19-20, stressed the need for Christians to be obedient to spiritual instructions to enjoy the good of the land.
Her words: “If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it” (Isa. 1:19-20).
She urged the Church to pray for the spirit of God to serve and be obedient.
In his own sermon, Bishop Oyedepo, while unraveling the mystery of the covenant of obedience, said: “To be obedient is better than sacrifice. Obedience may be costly but the end result is always priceless.
“When you live your life as a seed, its impacts lives for generations after you.”
