The second son of Bishop David Oyedepo, the founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide, Pastor Isaac Oyedepo, has reportedly resigned from his father’s Church to start his own separate ministry.
His resignation was announced Wednesday by Church Gist, a media platform owned by Pastor Leke Beecroft, one of the long-term pastoral assistants at the LFC Headquarters in Ota.
It was reported that Isaac is
planning to commence a new church ministry.
It would be recalled that Pastor Isaac was announced in September, this year as the National Youth Pastor of the Youth Alive Fellowship (YAF), the youth arm of the church and the appointment was announced via the official Facebook page of YAF.
In the announcement, the YAF expressed the hope that the new youth pastor would take the youthful congregation to glorious heights.
“On the behalf of the Youths of Living Faith Church Worldwide, we say a big welcome to our National Youth Pastor, Pastor Isaac Oyedepo as he takes the Youth Alive Fellowship to the next levels of glory,” YAF added in its post.
However, Bishop Oyedepo, the founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide has come under severe attack on the social media for appointing his biological son as the National Youth Pastor of the Church.
Isaac took over from his predecessor, Pastor David Nwabueze, who has been transferred to LFC Nasarawa state.
In a recent interview, Isaac said his purpose in life was “to reclaim a generation and to ensure that this generation sees the fire of God’s revival in our generation.”
The mandate of YAF which he was leading before his resignation is “to liberate the whole world from all oppression of the devil through the preaching of the Word of Faith.”
Isaac was ordained as Living Faith Church pastor by American preacher Kenneth Copeland in May 2007.
He has pastored the Winners Chapel International, South Africa, Maryland United States and Lokogoma, Abuja before he was redeployed to the headquarters, Canaanland Ota.
He is married to Ayomitide Omogbadegun and they are blessed with children.
Isaac graduated from Oral Roberts University, US, while his elder brother David Jnr currently serves as Resident Pastor of Faith Tabernacle, at the LFC Headquarters in Ota.
