During the One Night With The King service, Bishop David Oyedepo, founder of Living Faith Church, delivered a sermon addressing Christians who frequently move from one church to another without committing to a specific place of worship.
Bishop Oyedepo emphasized that God has designated a specific place of worship for every believer. He stated that true prosperity and progress are tied to being in one’s God-appointed place under one’s God-appointed pastor.
To illustrate his point, he referenced the biblical stories of Isaac and Abraham. He explained that Isaac reaped a hundredfold harvest in the same year because he sowed in the land God had shown him. Similarly, he noted that Abraham would have killed Isaac without any alternative if he had not followed God’s instruction to go to the specific mountain appointed for the sacrifice.
He quoted from Deuteronomy 12:13-14, which states;
“Take heed to thyself that thou offer not thy burnt offerings in every place that thou seest: But in the place which the Lord shall choose in one of thy tribes, there thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, and there thou shalt do all that I command thee,”
From the passage, he underscored the importance of divine direction in choosing a place of worship.
Bishop Oyedepo also shared his personal experience of how God led him to spiritual mentors such as Kenneth Hagin, T.L. Osborne (from whom he learned how to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit), and Kenneth Copeland.
“I’ll give you pastors after my heart. You don’t choose them; I give you. I’ll show you my choice if you’re interested. Stop window-shopping. Find where you belong and settle inside,” he declared.
Expounding further, Bishop Oyedepo noted the abundance of vibrant churches across the globe, emphasizing that believers should seek where they belong and commit themselves wholeheartedly. He said;
“This church is only one of many vibrant churches of Christ in the world. We are only one of too many. Find where you belong and settle in. Your future is not in your plan, but in His plan.”
