Bishop David Oyedepo, the General Overseer of the Living Faith Church Worldwide spoke to his members at Covenant Day of Escape, Faith Tabernacle, Canaanland, First Sunday Service.
Speaking to the youths, he said, “You are in your age of discovery. You are in the age of discovering where you belong in the race of life. You are in the age of strength. You are in your age of responsibility. From twenty years upward you are responsible for the outcome of your life.
He then turned to the parents and gave them an important caution as he said, “Stop putting adult sons and daughters on your lap. You are not building, you are destroying.
Stop! Stop! That is not success, that is failure. I have never added a dime to any of our sons or daughters working in this ministry, they earn what others earn. They bless me today.”
He then said that your worth is not your inheritance, it is your accomplishment. “I have never asked in my life, how are you paying school fees for your children, you have to.
Push them out, they are in their age of discovery. Push them out,” he said and claimed that we are in a very terrible era where adults are put on the back of ageing parents to break their backs.
Finally, he said, “I don’t care what education you gave a child, if you don’t connect him to God, you have lost him. “In the precious name of Jesus, every single youth here will beat their parents in terms of impact and they will still be humble,” he prayed.
Youths, it is your turn. From twenty years and above, those who didn’t know what to make as a choice perished in the wilderness. So from 20 years and above, everyone that will not take responsibility will go down.
