Five Important Things I Have Learnt From Bishop David Oyedepo:
My beloved brethren, as we celebrate Papa's Platinum (70th) birthday, I wish to share my five (5) most important things I have learnt him.
1. Prioritizing God's Kingdom:
Bishop Oyedepo's unwavering commitment to putting God's Kingdom first, as exemplified by his bedrock scripture Matthew 6:33, is a powerful lesson for me and my colleagues in ministry.
2. Discipline and Integrity:
His life of integrity and discipline is a testament to the importance of aligning our actions with our beliefs.
Papa has enjoyed a lot dividends from his lifestyle of discipline and integrity.
3. Diligence and Focus:
Papa's diligence and focus in serving God from a young age inspire us to be steadfast in our pursuits, no matter the challenges.
4. Family Devotion:
His ability to engage his entire family in servicing God, just as Joshua did in Joshua 24,15, demonstrates the transformative power of leading by example.
The glory of serving God is so visible in his entire family now touching upto his third generation.
5. Longevity in Ministry:
Reaching the milestone of 70 years while maintaining a heart after God is a remarkable achievement.
This reminds us that perseverance and unwavering faith can yield incredible results.
Bishop Oyedepo's life continues to be a shining example of what can be accomplished when one wholeheartedly surrenders to the will of God.
May we all be inspired to emulate his example, and find the same profound fulfillment in our own journey of faith.
