Also speaking at the event, her husband, Bishop David Oyedepo said obedience is better than sacrifice.

The declarations were obviously interpreted as a subtle endorsement of the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi who supporters have adopted the slogan ‘Obi-dients’.

However, while delivering her sermon, Faith who cited Isaiah 1:19-20, stressed the need for Christians to be obedient to spiritual instructions to enjoy the good of the land.

She said:

“If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it (Isa. 1:19-20)."

Oyedepo's wife also called on members of the church to pray for God’s Spirit to serve and be obedient.

In his own preaching, Bishop Oyedepo, unravelled the mystery of the covenant of obedience.

He said:

“To be obedient is better than sacrifice. Obedience may be costly but the end result is always priceless.
“When you live your life as a seed, its impact lives for generations after you."
