Delivering a powerful message, Bishop David Olaniyi Oyedepo has urged his congregation to approach their service to God with humility and self-reflection, reminding them of the importance of remaining humble in their roles. “God told me, ‘You are not indispensable after 18 hours of an encounter,’” he shared, underscoring that serving God is a privilege rather than an entitlement.
He warned against pride and a sense of entitlement in spiritual service, encouraging believers to examine their attitudes. “Settle down and speak to yourself,” he advised, adding, “You don’t have a special problem; you are only suffering from special ignorance.”
Emphasizing the need for honest self-evaluation, he encouraged worshippers to look within and consider what they might be overlooking. “Find out why it is not working. What am I not doing? Unplugging?” he questioned. He believes that true service to God demands wholehearted dedication, and he cautioned, “It’s better to just stay out of it than procure trouble for yourself.”
His message resonated strongly, inspiring believers to serve with humility, deep reflection, and true commitment, affirming that service to God is an honor, not an achievement to boast about.
