Bishop Oyedepo Charges Christians On Unity, Peace
The President and Founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide, aka ‘Winners Chapel’, Bishop David Oyedepo, has tasked Christians in Nigeria to be united and pursue the path of peace at all times.
He said the progress and growth of the Nigerian society depend on the unity and love that Christians will have for one another, even as he decried the numerous challenges currently facing the nation.
The Cleric, who spoke at the funeral service of Rev. Isaac Oyebamiji, the Founder and General Overseer, Chapel of Mercy, on Friday in Jos, said the country’s challenges would be surmounted when Christians begin to speak with one voice and pursue the path of unity.
According to him; ”It is high time Christians in Nigeria begin to speak with one voice; we must begin to love each other and even non-Christians. Today, Nigeria is going through a lot because we refused to unite, we have refused to learn to live together.
“So, the unity of Christians is very important for the growth and development of this country.”
Describing the deceased as a ”true man of God”, the cleric called on other Ministers of the gospel to emulate the simple lifestyle of Rev. Oyebamiji, and charged family members of the deceased to hold on to the beautiful legacies he left behind for the greater good of the society.
Speaking during the funeral service, the deceased’s wife, Pastor Olutoyin Oyebamiji, described her late husband as `honest and one who fears God’, adding that she was happy the Lord took him to glory, hence her strong belief he was resting and in a better place.
She thanked all church leaders and those who stood by her and the family in their moment of grief and asked God to bless them all.
Rev Oyebamiji, 64, died after a brief illness in the U.S. He is survived by his wife, five children and many other relatives. He held a doctorate degree in Ministry, with emphasis on ”Leadership and Preaching” from the Asbury Theological Seminary, Kentucky in the United States – With NAN reports
