Founder, Living Faith Church also known as Winners Chapel, Bishop David Oyedepo, has released his son, Pastor Isaac Oyedepo to start his own full time evangelistic ministry, Isaac Oyedepo Evangelistic Ministries.
Although details on the development were still sketchy, weeks back, news broke out that Issac had resigned as President of the Winners’ Chapel International Youth Ministry, following his resignation as a member of the church.
But, Pastor Isaac countered the news, saying he is still a member of the Winners’ Family and warned those peddling news about his resignation from the church membership to desist from such, just as he threatened legal actions on those bent on pushing the narrative that he had left his father’s church.
Though it is yet to be confirmed if this decision to start a new ministry means disconnecting from the Winners’ family, cleric’s however believe that since it is an evangelistic work, it simply means doing his own thing but remaining as a member of the church his father founded many years ago.
Church Gist has since posted the words by Bishop Oyedepo while praying and commissioning his son for the new work.
Below are the cleric’s exact words:
“I PRAY THAT YOUR LIFE WILL INTEPRET YOUR MESSAGE
“NOT JUST GREAT MESSAGES BUT GREAT IMPACT
“MY SON HIS TIMES ARE NOT IN YOUR HANDS, YOUR TIMES ARE IN HIS HANDS
“DONT BE PART OF MALIGNING OR BRINGING DOWN ANY MINISTRY
“SOME YEARS AGO SOMEONE STOOD UP TO GIVE A TESTIMONY AND TO MALIGN TREM AND DEEPER LIFE AND I CORRECTED IT IMMEDIATELY
“NEVER GET TO A POINT WHERE YOU SAY THIS THING IS ONLY HAPPENING WITH ME
“A SISTER TOLD ME SHE SAW PASTOR KUMUYI PRAYING FOR HER AND I SENT HER TO HIM WITH A NOTE
“THIS YOUNG GENERATION OF MINISTERS BELIEVE THEY ARE EVERYTHING.”
Adding: “Full details Shortly.”
Meanwhile, Isaac’s post on Facebook with YouTube links to watch the brief ceremony, reads: “Watch live the UNVEILING OF THE ISAAC OYEDEPO EVANGELISTIC MINISTRIES.”
