'We have a right to determine who rules us, and this church, with the millions we are, has a say in it, so be part of it,' he said.

You may think you have no say in who becomes the next president of Nigeria, but as Bishop David Oyedepo reminded his congregation last Sunday, every vote counts.

The respected cleric delivered a sermon at Canaan Land, Ota, Ogun, titled 'Breaking the Curses of Life', where he urged worshippers to secure their PVCs ahead of the 2027 general elections. Obtaining the card, he said, is a civic responsibility that empowers citizens to decide who governs them.

Oyedepo, the founder of the Living Faith Church, emphasized that members must not neglect their right to participate in shaping the nation's future. He warned against the dangers of being passive and waiting for opportunities to choose leaders, saying that spiritual authority does not replace civic duty. Christians must balance prayers with active participation in democratic processes, he added.

'The PVC empowered citizens to decide who governs them, and we must not be disenfranchised in the coming general elections,' Oyedepo said. He also reminded worshippers that their votes carry a lot of weight, urging them to prepare early, rather than wait until the election season kicked off.

The Living Faith Church has millions of members across Nigeria, and Oyedepo's call to action has sparked interest among many. With the 2027 elections fast approaching, this is a timely reminder that every single vote matters.

For a church that boasts of millions of followers, this call to action is significant. As Oyedepo put it bluntly, 'We have a right to determine who rules us, and this church, with the millions we are, has a say in it, so be part of it.'

Bishop David Oyedepo has been a vocal advocate for civic responsibility for many years, using his pulpit to encourage his followers to participate in the democratic process. This latest call to action is just one example of his commitment to ensuring that Christians take an active role in shaping the country's future.

Church and Politics

The Living Faith Church has always taken a strong stance on politics, urging its members to vote and participate in the democratic process. Oyedepo's call to action is just the latest example of this. As a church with such a large and influential membership, its position on politics is significant.
