Bishop David Oyedepo, the General Overseer of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, addressed his congregation during the “Beware The God Of Gold Is On The Hunt For Precious Souls” session at AYAC 2023 during Breaking New Grounds Day 5, Morning Session.
According to his teachings, many times, God communicates messages to individuals, but they might lack the faith to fully believe in them. However, the Spirit of Faith empowers believers to have faith in all things. He gave examples of instances where God spoke to him about ambitious projects, like building something within a year or entering multiple nations in a year, and how he had unwavering faith in these divine promises.
Bishop Oyedepo emphasized that the Spirit of Faith acts as a shield against the devil’s attacks, extinguishing his harmful influences. He mentioned that regardless of the magnitude and ferocity of challenges, the Spirit of Faith empowers individuals to overcome them. He shared biblical examples, such as Abraham’s faith when he and his son set out for worship, fully believing they would return.
Lastly, Bishop Oyedepo conveyed that a person’s race or nationality is not a factor in the eyes of God. He stressed that faith unites all people, regardless of their backgrounds, and empowers them to believe in the seemingly impossible and to speak boldly about it. He concluded by saying that the Spirit of Faith enables believers to undertake daunting tasks that others might deem impossible.
