Isaac Oyedepo, the son of the presiding bishop of Living Faith Church Worldwide, David Oyedepo, released a statement on Tuesday addressing the rumors surrounding his alleged departure from the church.
It had been rumored that Isaac had recently stepped down from his role as the national youth pastor of the Youth Alive Fellowship (YAF), which is the church’s youth division.
His appointment to this position had been announced in September, as he succeeded Pastor David Nwabueze, who had been transferred to Nasarawa State.
Additionally, there were claims suggesting that Isaac’s resignation was linked to his dissatisfaction with the church’s policies on staff welfare. Some reports even hinted that his frequent transfers within and outside the country had been a result of disagreements with the church’s leadership.
However, in a statement shared on his Instagram account, Isaac refuted these allegations and clarified that his relationship with his family and father remained strong, contrary to what had been alleged.
He said, “It is worthy of note that no external statements have been authorized or verified by me.
“I must state that there are no complications in my relationship with my beloved family, and my beloved dad (Bishop David Oyedepo), who have stood by and supported me over the years; nor are there any in my commitment to my church-turned-home, Living Faith Church (also known as Winners Chapel International).
“I remain a steadfast member of Living Faith Church, dedicated to service in the Body of Christ.
“I urge the general public to treat information not communicated by me, or from any of my social media platforms, with extreme caution.
“There should be no further publication(s) on social media, electronic or print media, about any severance of my relationship with the Living Faith Church, or my family, without my express authorization, as it may be considered a breach to my privacy.”
