Pastor Isaac Oyedepo, one of the two sons of Bishop David Oyedepo, founder of Living Faith Church (LFC) Worldwide, aka Winners Chapel, has resigned from the church.
Isaac, who was recently appointed as the Global Youth Pastor of the Living Faith Church Worldwide youth arm, Youth Alive Fellowship (YAF), last month.
He resigned to start up his own church Ministry.
The 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, Ogun State.
He is the second son of Bishop Oyedepo. His elder brother David Jnr currently serves as Resident Pastor of Faith Tabernacle, LFC Headquarters in Ota.
He and his elder brother, David Jr., were ordained as pastors in May 2007 by Kenneth Copeland.
He is a graduate of Oral Roberts University and has pastored the Winners Chapel International South Africa, Maryland United States and Lokogoma, Abuja before he was redeployed to the headquarters, Canaanland Ota.
Isaac is married to Ayomitide Oyedepo and their union is blessed with four children.
Pastor Isaac Oyedepo’s announcement last September as the Global Youth Leader of the church, was revealed by the YAF via its official Facebook page, adding that he will 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 posted.
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 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.”
