The pastoral ministry is one of the noblest occupations. Considered a calling rather than a profession, it does not follow the mould in many ways. As such, when the rumours started that Pastor Isaac Oyedepo, the son of Bishop David Oyedepo, intends to set up his own ministry, foreheads scrunched.
Bishop Oyedepo, founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide (Winners Chapel), has always been regarded as a blessed man. Firstly, his ministry has touched lives all over the world. Secondly, his sons, David Jnr. and Isaac, are pastors in the ministry. But this second point is about to change, allegedly.
Pastor Isaac, the younger of Oyedepo’s sons, has reportedly decided to set up his ministry. Social media is replete with stories of how he has pulled out of his father’s church and will no longer be considered a pastor there.
The alleged decision of Pastor Isaac is raising brows nationwide. The main reason for this is that the younger Oyedepo was ordained as a pastor in Living Faith as far back as 2007 by popular preacher, Kenneth Copeland. He is very influential at Winners Chapel and is well-liked in Christian circles in Nigeria and abroad.
In September, Bishop Oyedepo appointed Pastor Isaac as the National Youth Pastor of the Youth Alive Fellowship (YAF), the youth wing of the Living Faith Church. As a result, his alleged decision to resign from Winners Chapel has caused waves in the hearts of concerned individuals.
Insiders allege that Pastor Isaac’s mandate is to “reclaim a generation and to ensure that this generation sees the fire of God-revival in our generation.” Perhaps this is the reason for his decision.
Pastor Isaac has served as the resident pastor of the Living Faith Church International, Maryland, USA, since October 2018. He is married to Ayomitide Oyedepo and has four children with her.
Neither Pastor Isaac nor Bishop Oyedepo has officially commented on this rumour. Nevertheless, folks are concerned
