The founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide, Bishop David Olaniyi Oyedepo, has advised youths to rely on God’s guidance for their journey to success, warning them not to act on their own plans without seeking divine direction.
Speaking the impartation service of the church’s Annual Youths Alive Convention (AYAC2024) on Saturday, Bishop Oyedepo emphasised the importance of following God’s voice, as Vanguard quoted him as saying, “Access to the voice of God is what takes you to stardom.”
He cautioned against making hasty decisions without divine approval, stating, “Don’t pack your bag and ask God if you should go. Don’t tempt God. As Kaplan said, don’t ask God to bless your plan; seek God’s plan for your life—it’s already blessed.”
Oyedepo stressed the need for spiritual sensitivity, adding, “You need an ornament of a quiet and meek spirit to hear God speak. One must be in the spirit to hear the voice of the spirit, and one must be spiritual to embrace the voice of the spirit.”
The bishop shared how following the voice of the Spirit has been pivotal for the growth of the church, declaring, “We are where we are today as a church by following the voice of the Spirit.”
He reminded the youth that true success comes from aligning with God’s will.
“Staying where God says you should stay and doing what God says you should do is what guarantees your stardom. The voice of the Lord is in the Bible, and following what God says makes you a frontline in your chosen career.”
