David Oyedepo, presiding bishop of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, has urged members of the Living Faith Church Worldwide to obtain their voter cards and actively participate in the electoral process, describing it as a civic responsibility for every responsible citizen.
Speaking during Sunday’s service at the Faith Tabernacle in Ota, Ogun State, Oyedepo said Christians should not remain indifferent to the democratic process but should exercise their constitutional right to decide who governs their countries.
“We have a civic responsibility as responsible citizens of our various nations. This church is today in 144 nations,” he said.
He encouraged worshippers to register as voters and make informed choices based on their personal convictions.
“So, endeavour to secure your voter cards. You are men and women of the spirit. You should know on your own personal conviction where to cast your vote,” he added.
The cleric stressed that members of the church are bona fide citizens of their respective nations and should fully participate in shaping their countries’ leadership.
“We are not passers-by in our nations. We are bona fide citizens of the nation. We have a right to participate in who governs us,” Oyedepo said.
“So, please go ahead. It’s part of our policy; you will find it in our mandate. So, go ahead and ensure that you secure your voter’s right.”
Highlighting the church’s global presence and large membership, the presiding bishop said the congregation has a significant role to play in national affairs.
“And this church, with the millions that we have, we have a say in it. So, be part of it,” he said.
