“Seek Divine Wisdom, Not Just Power — Bishop Oyedepo Urges Christians On Nation’s Challenges”

According to Ireporter Online, the Presiding Bishop of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, Bishop David Oyedepo, has called on Christians to seek divine wisdom as the key to resolving the nation’s prevailing challenges.

Speaking during the 40th anniversary thanksgiving service of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), the revered cleric emphasized that genuine leadership and sustainable progress are achieved through wisdom rather than sheer power.

Oyedepo noted that Christians possess the mind of Christ and, therefore, have the divine capacity to generate lasting solutions to life’s pressing problems. He acknowledged the significant contributions of the church to education, healthcare, the economy, and other vital sectors, stressing that believers must take the lead in addressing the difficulties confronting the country.

The bishop further underscored the importance of depending on divine insight to deepen the church’s positive impact on society.

“Through wisdom, kings reign and princes decree justice. Jesus is both the wisdom and the power of God. We have celebrated power for long; it is now time to begin celebrating wisdom,” he said. “Divine wisdom is our heritage in redemption. As believers, we have the mind of Christ and the capacity to create solutions. It is time to seek God’s wisdom to tackle the seemingly impossible challenges around us and pave the way for elevation in our various fields.”

He expressed optimism that with divine wisdom, the church will experience a new dimension of influence and begin to take leadership roles across different spheres of life.
