I am Not Equal with Bishop David Oyedepo. He is Higher than Me

I’m not equal with Bishop Oyedepo. I am not equal to him. Anybody who tells me that only wants to misguide me. I’m not and I know it. I thank God I know it and I carry myself as one who knows. I serve anyone on top of me with joy without wishing that I would take his place.

If as an Christian person you preach and people clap for you and you think you now equal with your leader, you are preparing for the ditch. If people come to you and say, oh this message was powerful, I didn’t know God can use you like this. You know what they telling you? Go and start your own ministry. That’s what they telling you. And if you leave, they will leave you. There are many people who talk others out of ministry and they abandoned them. Know your limit, your weight and your boundaries.

The Lord told Miriam, He said, all of you I chose you to be prophets. He said, but there is none of you with whom i speak face to face and mouth to mouth except Moses my servant. You are not equal. Pioneering a ministry is a call from God. You may be a fine preacher but you are not called to pioneer a ministry. Let every man therefore abide in the calling where God has called.

There will be people who are called to
Pioneer ministry from existing ministry there will be and there are some of us who are but if he doesn’t call you don’t call yourself. I’ve often said that God will assign you only to what he has designed you for. Grace comes with every position and that grace will cover your error when you are there and color your effort, but if you go there by yourself, you will soon be exposed. So don’t remain on the same height with your spiritual leader. Slope, you create the gradient for grace to flow from him to
you.

Don’t make reference to the background of your leader. I’ve been privileged to be close to God’s servant Bishop Oyedepo before he received the call into ministry. And at that time, he was relating with me as a brother, but once grace, distinguished him, i must appreciate that grace. I must forget about past relationship. I must now see him as my leader, my pastor, my prophet upon whom God has placed the grace that I need.

You can make your impact within a ministry if that is where God wants you to be. Impact is not limited to pioneering a ministry. Aaron was impactful under Moses. It’s just that a lot of us want visibility. We want to be seen as the head. Let each man stand in the place where God has put him and be making his impact.
