Oyedepo rules out politics and says even $1bn cannot sway him

Key points

• He refused money to run for political office. He says his work is spiritual and not political.

• He warned the church about trouble ten years ago. Many of his warnings later proved correct in time.

• He urged believers to focus on their God given roles. He compared modern needs to Joseph and Daniel examples.

Bishop David Oyedepo spoke at the Shiloh 2025 service. He told congregation that politics is not his calling. He said even one billion dollars would not sway him.

The sermon formed part of the service’s impartation session. He urged believers to hold to their divine assignments. See our Shiloh prayer claim report for context.

Oyedepo’s refusal and the reasons he gave

Oyedepo said partisan politics lies outside his life purpose. He stressed that true influence comes from divine calling. He urged people to keep their God given work.

The clergyman recalled warnings he gave in an earlier season. He said those warnings later came true. He linked that history to his current resolve.

He described the world as sitting in deep darkness. He said nations need urgent spiritual help and wise leaders. He told the church to prepare to offer solutions.

The man of God quoted Romans eight to stress creation’s eager waiting. He said creation waits for the children of God. He asked believers to rise and offer answers.

He compared God’s end time army to Joseph and Daniel. He said those figures solved national problems in their day. He said modern believers must bring similar solutions.

What this means for the church and public life

His stance narrows the role he will play publicly. He will keep to preaching and church work only. He says public office would distract from his divine tasks.

The decision may calm some political rumours already in place. It may also endear him to many fans. It may spark talks about church leadership and civic duty.

Some church members praised his firm refusal in service. Others asked how believers can still help public life. The bishop said believers should serve within their calling first.

Public debate may follow about faith leaders and politics. That debate is normal in a free society. The church plans to continue prayer and public engagement.

Reaction, context and wider notes

Many congregants at Shiloh responded with applause and prayer. Social posts tracked the sermon throughout the day. Journalists and watchers shared highlights online.

Commentary linked this sermon to other recent Shiloh reports and interviews. Read more in the Skales interview about Shiloh for related coverage.

The bishop asked believers to remain steady and faithful. He urged them to act with love and clear intent. He closed with a call to prayer and service.
