During the third service-themed “Covenant Day of Fruitfulness” at Living Faith Church Worldwide, David Oyedepo Jr., the Resident Pastor expressed his concern about Nigeria’s current state of distress. He urged the Christian faithful to engage in covenant stewardship to navigate the challenges facing the nation.
Oyedepo used a metaphorical illustration to compare an empty Ghana-must-go bag to an individual without covenant practice in Christ Jesus. He emphasized the need for substance and spiritual grounding to withstand life’s challenges. He urged believers to take cover in covenant practices to resist adversities.
He said, “If you raise an empty Ghana-must-go bag in a windy environment, it would fly away, but if you have a heavy substance in it, no matter the harsh wind, it would resist it. The same applies to an individual without covenant practice in Christ Jesus.”
Meanwhile, the Presiding Bishop of the Church, David Oyedepo, urged Christians to reach out to the needy to mitigate economic hardship. He disclosed that the church has opened several Kingdom care outlets to reach out to the needy through its Winners Satellite Fellowship across Nigeria. According to him, this is to mitigate the current economic hardship faced by Nigerians. “It is not weakness to ask for help when you need it,” he said.
