LESSONS FROM THE BISHOP
I once had an interesting conversation with an African American friend during which I told him that if a reference was made to ’Bishop’ without mentioning which Bishop it was, then Dr David Oyedepo is assumed to be in reference and he said it is the same with the Bishop Thomas Dexter Jakes in his circle in the United States of America. The two towering Pentecostal figures have come to own the title in their respective countries. Their impact on Pentecostal Christianity is massive and in Nigeria, Bishop David Oyedepo has been a very prominent influence and I find it only apt to celebrate him in my article today by drawing open the curtains and allowing my readers a glimpse into my personal encounters with him. I have been privileged to enjoy proximity to him in a season of my ministry due to his relationship with my brother (Sam Adeyemi).
My earliest recollections of him were that of his impactful ministry as he organized Christian conferences like the Southern Faith convention and the Gospel Feast which held in June and October in the early years of his ministry. Having come under the influence and tutelage of Rev George Adegboye, it was inevitable in those days that you would come under that of Bishop David Olaniyi Oyedepo. Brother George as he was then known was close friends with Bro Emmanuel Oset. Bro Emmanuel led Faith Liberation Hour Ministries, ‘Faith Lib’ as we called it in those days, after Brother David (Oyedepo) had relocated to Kaduna. The likes of me were primarily members of Holy Ghost Caucus, a smaller fellowship that met weekly in the house of Brother George. However, Brother George and Brother Emma (Oset) both exchanged pulpits frequently and that saw Brother George also connected to Brother David and ministered for him both at Ilorin and Kaduna conferences. My young Christian life was being molded under brother George but also affected by the ministries of Brother David and Brother Emma. I subscribed to regular issues of the Faith Digest newsletter of Brother David’s ministry, bought his books and continued following his ministry from a distance even as Brother George and Brother Emma respectively moved on to establish and lead new ministries with time. Fast forward to 1996 and by divine providence, my brother (Sam) had yoked with the Bishop who had become an instant positive influence on him and welcomed me also with open arms. Every time I had the privilege of visiting him in my brother’s company, it was a blessing as he always intentionally coached and mentored us.
‘Keep sowing the seeds’ he advised my brother on one occasion. He had asked after our church attendances at about 8 months into the lives of our churches. While we were running an attendance of over 800 in Ibadan already, Daystar Christian Center had under 400 and it was discouraging for my brother. Bishop encouraged him to persist. He said the Word of God cannot but produce results and my brother’s persistence paid off as the church ballooned to over 20,000 worshippers within her first 10 years of existence and has continued to grow. Many things we give up on would have succeeded in the womb of time.
‘’Father, provide the resources to make the building in Ibadan beautiful, attractive and not something that will repel people’’, he said among other words in praying for me about our first building project. Our church had moved into a new location with only German flooring and covering our heads with rented tarpaulin canopies. This was coming from using an accessible, beautiful and modern air conditioned hall. The attendance nosedived from almost 1500 to about 600 and it was depressing. I was perplexed, having assumed that it was only the anointing and my prolific teachings that had brought the people. I placed no value on the ambience of our rented worship center nor its accessibility until I took the people to an underdeveloped ‘bush’ with no toilet facilities and no air conditioning. The majority fled. It was during Bishop’s prayer that my understanding was enlightened that ambience, comfort and functional facilities are a big aid to worship and are part of the sociological factors that affect church attendance.
‘’Not more than 30% of your income should go on staff overhead. If you spend more on it, you will not allow the church to make progress. Many pastors spend too much on themselves and their staff’’, was another weighty quote from the Bishop. It has since been our principle in Global Harvest Church not to spend more than 30% of church income on total emoluments. The bigger and richer the church, the lower this percentage should be. Due to excessive expenditure on personnel welfare, many pastors have crippled their churches. Bishop is a prudent, shrewd and accountable spender who has never allowed their ministry to spend more than their earnings from day one, the major reason God has committed enormous resources into his hands. ‘’Sam, switch off the light, switch it on again’’, he instructed my brother one day. The lesson was, ‘’There is always a key that unlocks every community’’. He taught us to pray wherever we find ourselves for the key that would unlock that community to us. This is so true because I’ve discovered that while the timeless truth of the gospel of Christ never changes, as bridge-builders to communities, their needs and interests differ from place to place. Some only depend on research to find it, but there is nothing like getting a direction from God. As a church planter, I have remembered this several times over the years and seen communities open up to us in response to enquiries to heaven about how to reach them.
‘’We have sufficient equipment to broadcast the gospel to the world 24 hours of the day like TBN’’, he said to me one day. ‘’But, we will not, except the Master gives us marching orders’’. Bishop taught me that affordability is not proof of a mandate to carry out a project, even though a mandate is the first key to a successful project. ‘’If God did not mandate it, you are on your own’’, he would say. He already had a plan presented by professionals on his table regarding this yet he had never been in a hurry to hear from heaven. He has been praying about it for months. More than 10 years after, he has not started it because it is not yet mandated from heaven. He also always has the courage to stop any project if he discovers he has missed divine direction. It is a mark of humility before the Lord to cancel or postpone a project under such circumstances. From cancelling the 23,000 Faith theatre, Kaduna project to delaying a plan for global missions and to the recent suspension and subsequent review of ‘The Ark’ project, the Bishop believes in making corrections as soon as he discovers he needs to realign with God’s plan. He lays no clams to perfection.
‘’My staff do not disturb me in the first 3-4 hours of my day in the office. I spend it reading and meditating’’. Never one to to allow activities to distract him from daily self development, Bishop spends several hours reading and meditatively applying what he reads to his endeavours. He is so hungry for knowledge that he is willing to learn from anyone. He brought out a book written by one of his spiritual daughters and showed us how he had marked the pages severally and how nuggets from the obscure author were contributing to his sermon preparation. The back cover of the book alone was enough to put me off, not to talk about reading a book by an unpopular author. It was quite a lesson for me.
It was a Saturday in 1986 that my brother and I had an appointment to see him at the old office in Lagos and as we followed him towards the elevator, the staff were holding back a woman from approaching him. Her foot was covered with a stinking and terrible sore as she sought for his prayer for this incurable malady. As it oozed with a terrible stench and fluid I was irritated and almost throwing up when to my surprise, Bishop stooped down, stretched his hands over the sore and prayed for the woman. It was a first hand lesson in compassion. I had found one of the secrets of his ministry of signs and wonders. I repented over and over again thereafter of my irritation and lack of true love and affection for people. I thought I had them but saw an unprecedented demonstration before my eyes that convicted me. He would later advise me in 1999, ‘’Stay in Ibadan till God gives you the man to take over the work’’. I had been led to move to Lagos and wanted to be shuttling between both cities every Sunday morning, preaching an early morning service in Ibadan and racing down to Lagos for a late morning service. He disagreed with me because he said the Ibadan people would not be able to reach me after service. I laughed at his position as I expected that with tens of thousands of congregants and multiple services he had no time for people to touch him on Sunday. To my surprise he said he laid his hands on hundreds in the healing room after service in those days and would spend hours attending to people before going home. ‘’Ministry is about the people, not about us’’.
If I could write all I have learnt directly from the Bishop, it would fill an entire book without exaggerating. His books, audio and video messages have also made their own rich contributions. It is not by happenstance that his protégés make remarkable impact wherever you find them. Those who know him behind the scenes know he is a passionate lover of God and his people, and that he is in pursuit of God’s pleasure with all his heart. This is praying that the Lord will bless Bishop David Olaniyi Oyedepo with many years of soundness of health and abundance of His goodness, that he may enjoy the fruits of his labour and continue to be a huge blessing to humanity. May the heavens shine more light on his heart about the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ and may he become a greater positive influence on his generation and on several more to come. Happy birthday Bishop.

With effect from midnight today, the State of Emergency in Rivers State is hereby lifted. Governor Siminalayi Fubara, Deputy Governor Ngozi Nma Odu, and the State House of Assembly will resume their constitutional duties from September 18, 2025.

My statement on the cessation of the State of Emergency in Rivers State:

[Kalu Aja @FinPlanKaluAja1]

Europe is not stupid, but they have no choice; it must open its borders to immigrants or its economy will collapse

When a young Nigerian family moves to the UK, what is actually happening is that the young Nigerian family is paying the pension of the retiring white worker.

Japa is the West buying the best on discount.

Japan and South Korea are on a demographic death spiral; in 45 years without massive immigration, Japan and South Korea will slide into obscurity, fast internet or not. Even China will start looking for immigrants soon, yes I billion man China

There is no Western nation with a replacement ratio above 2.1. None

Cheat sheet, poor nations have high population with high replacement ratio

Rich nations (like the US) may have a high population but have a lower replacement ratio

Very soon, Africa will recongice that Japa is strategic giveaway, by then it will help too late

🚨 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: Erik ten Hag responds to Bayer Leverkusen's decision to SACK him!

"The decision by Bayer Leverkusen this morning to put me on a leave of absence came as a complete surprise. To part ways with a manager after just two league matches is unprecedented.

This summer, many key players who were part of past successes left the squad. Building a new, cohesive team is a careful process that requires both time and trust. A new coach deserves the space to implement his vision, set the standards, shape the squad and leave his mark on the style of play. I started this job with full conviction and energy, but unfortunately the management was not willing to grant me the time and trust I needed, which I deeply regret.

I feel this was never a relationship based on mutual trust.

Throughout my career, every season I have been able to see through to the end as a coach has brought success. Clubs that placed their trust in me have been rewarded with success and silverware.

Finally, I would like to thank the Bayer Leverkusen supporters for their warmth and passion, and I wish the squad and staff every success for the remainder of the season.
