Pastor Faith Oyedepo, wife of the Presiding Bishop of Living Faith Church, LFC, Worldwide, has advised winners to be obedient in Kingdom affairs (of God).
Bishop David Oyedepo, on his own part, said that obedience is better than sacrifice.
The pair spoke at the church’s monthly leadership conference.
The declarations were regarded yesterday as a covert endorsement of Mr Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate for the 2023 general elections.
Obi’s fans have been campaigning under the moniker ‘Obi-dients.’
The candidate himself paid a visit to the Oyedepos at the Ota-based church, and images from the event quickly went viral as fans massively posted 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 God’s Spirit to serve and be obedient.
In his own sermon, Bishop Oyedepo, while unravelling 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 impact lives for generations after you”
