Bisina SomtoPastor Isaac Oyedepo, son of Bishop David Oyedepo, the founder of Living Faith Church, commonly known as Winners Chapel, has taken a significant step in his spiritual journey.
He has chosen to resign from his role, despite his recent appointment as the Global Youth Pastor of the Living Faith Church Worldwide.
Having served as a pastor at the Living Faith Church in the United States, he was asked to return to Nigeria by his father, Bishop David Oyedepo, and take up a ministerial role within the Nigerian branch of the church. This decision raised questions about the dynamics of leadership and succession within the church.

Oyedepo's son Isaac leaves Living Faith, to start a new ministry. Who wouldn't expand when his/her family business booms? Papa is building a conglomerate. Congratulations to them.

If Oyedepo had installed this same son as the next in line, what would be our comments today?
We want certain changes, but overly emotional to see beyond our nostrils.
If criticism was a business, other countries would be trading our stock markets by now.

A video featuring Bishop David Oyedepo urging General Overseers to clearly define the terms of succession and leadership transition in their churches has gone viral and is now a topic of discussion. He emphasized that “handing over the church to your son/daughter is not Ministry.” He also added that ‘Ministry/Anointing is not genetic’, to further buttress his point he gave an example of Biblical Characters Moses and Joshua.
