Pastor Isaac Oyedepo, the son of the founder of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, Bishop David Oyedepo, says God spoke to him in 2020 to establish a new ministry for the present generation.

The younger Oyedepo said his new ministry, ‘The Isaac Oyedepo Evangelistic Ministries’, is saddled with the mandate to “reclaim, restore, and revive this generation”.

He said this while unveiling his ministry on Tuesday, November 28, 2023.

Isaac said: “This began in the year 2020 that the Lord began to speak to our hearts in very clear terms about what He has assigned for this generation (I’m talking about my generation in particular).

“On the 14th anniversary of my full time ministry assignment (pastoral assignment) in Living Faith Church Worldwide aka Winners Chapel International, just in a sweet time of fellowship with the Lord, thanking Him for 14 years of full time pastoral work, Galatians 2:1-2.

“He said ‘14 years after, I went up.’ He said ‘there is something new, a phase I’m launching into. While you are thanking me for what I have done in 14 years, I have a new chapter, a new phase that awaits you.’

“He went on by saying ‘the pastoring phase which was for the first 14 years, I helped you but now I’m moving you from that pastoring phase to the next phase which is an evangelistic phase.’ 2 Timothy 4:5, John 15:16.”

Speaking further, Isaac said: “The Lord has called us into the next phase of His purpose for our lives and this will all be under the umbrella of the ‘Isaac Oyedepo Evangelistic Ministries’ which is an evangelistical ministry saddled with the mandate to ‘reclaim, restore and to revive this generation’.

“The Ministry’s focus is threefold among others:

“To reclaim a generation. The core of this Ministry mandate is the urgent rescue of souls – urgent rescue of souls! Emphasis will be placed on salvation, holiness and the miraculous.

“To restore the fire. It’s (a) common occurrence in this generation (my generation) that many who were once on fire for the Lord have lost the fire as spiritual complacency has suddenly replaced intimacy.

“To revive a people. While every revival work is the Ministry of the Holy Spirit, we have been mandated to partner with the Holy Spirit in igniting hunger and thirst in this generation for revival.”

Isaac noted that the ministry will commence with ‘The Kingdom Come Crusades’, adding: “This will be a major thrust of The Isaac Oyedepo Evangelistic Ministries. Major evangelistic campaigns will be held across Nigeria, across Africa and the World to reach the unsaved with the Gospel of the Kingdom.

“The second core expression that we will be commencing with as directed by the Spirit of God will be what we call ‘Ignite. These crusades will be held on university campuses to rescue the lost, restore lost fires and ignite a new hunger for revival. Ignite is a campus campaign tour that moves from one university campus to the other.

“The third core expression is what has been called ‘Awaken’. These are periodic meetings targeted at this generation (my generation) that are saved but asleep. These meetings will be held in partnership with Churches of all denominations to see that those who are asleep come awake to the times that we are in, in God’s agenda.”

He, therefore, thanked his father and other family members for being “part of this vision sharing and commissioning”, adding: “I remain a member of the Living Faith Church Worldwide aka Winners Chapel International where I will continue to fellowship, be fed and be covered.”
