Pastor Isaac Oyedepo, founder of Isaac Oyedepo Evangelistic Ministries, has announced that his ministry will begin holding weekly Sunday services in Abuja, emphasizing that no offerings will be collected in obedience to God’s instructions.

In an online message posted on Sunday, January 11, Oyedepo highlighted that the ministry’s primary mission is discipleship and equipping people to follow Jesus, rather than focusing on financial contributions.

On the topic of offerings, Oyedepo clarified that “God gave him specific instructions not to collect offerings.” While acknowledging that other ministries may include offerings in their practice, he stressed that “for this particular assignment, the focus must remain entirely on the spiritual growth of the people.”

The announcement coincided with the official launch of the ministry’s Sunday services in Abuja.

Emphasis on Discipleship
During the broadcast, Oyedepo explained that his approach mirrors the early ministry of Jesus Christ.

“All Jesus did during His early ministry was to make disciples; the fire fell, and they were filled and refilled. Before He left, He commanded us to do the same,” he said.

He also stressed the importance of a “consistent journey” through the Word of God, asking, “How healthy would our churches be if people were truly deep in the Scriptures?”

Born on February 26, 1985, Isaac Oyedepo officially transitioned to his independent ministry on November 28, 2023, following years of dedicated service at Living Faith Church (Winners Chapel), the global ministry founded by his father, Bishop David Oyedepo.
