Founder of Isaac Oyedepo Evangelistic Ministries (IOEM), Pastor Isaac Oyedepo, has reiterated that the core mandate of his ministry is to make disciples of all nations.
He made this known in a recent online message. in the video, posted recently, the young cleric emphasised that his ministry will focus on discipleship and spiritual growth, while deviating from some traditional church practices—most notably by not collecting offerings.
The announcement coincided with the launch of IOEM’s Sunday Services, which will now be held weekly from 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm in Abuja.
During the broadcast, Oyedepo said his approach is patterned after the early ministry of Jesus Christ.
“All Jesus did during His early ministry was to make disciples. The fire fell, and they were filled and refilled. Before He left, He commanded us to do the same,” he stated.
He added that true spiritual growth requires a consistent journey through the Word of God, asking, “How healthy would our churches be if people were truly deep in the Scriptures?”
Addressing the financial structure of the ministry, Oyedepo disclosed that God specifically instructed him not to collect offerings.
While acknowledging that there is nothing wrong with the practice in other ministries, he explained that for this particular assignment, his focus must remain strictly on the spiritual development of the people.
Born on February 26, 1985, Oyedepo formally transitioned into his independent ministry on November 28, 2023, after several years of service at Living Faith Church (Winners Chapel), the global ministry founded by his father, Bishop David Oyedepo.
