In a video shared on the X handle (formerly known as Twitter) @therealchurchg1, Oyedepo said God has been sustaining him.
He went on to share how God assured him he got his back and he is on his payroll.
Oyedepo stated thus:
"When the Lord called me into full-time ministry, I said to him, Lord Jesus who pays me. Because to beg I'm ashamed. That's not the way I was brought up. Who pays me?
"You know, I even ask God, do you have enough job for me to do? There is no question that you ask in this world that has no answer in this book (the Bible).
"And the Lord said to me, after this things, he appointed 70 others also. He said, you are in my employment. I'm responsible for your pay. Just stay on duty."
Speaking further, Oyedepo went on to disclose the bible passage (scripture) that explained God's message to him, "Luke 10 vs 1- 7."
He said:
"It looks like ordinary story but that is where I draw my pain from till Jesus comes.
"I have not knocked on the door of any man till tomorrow. I got my employment letter from that scripture (Luke 10 vs 1- 7). I got on his payroll from that scripture. And sir, he pays. This God pays."
