Opinion: 5 Pictures which reveals that Adeboye considers Oyedepo to be more than a spiritual Son

Jesus’ disciples considered him as their spiritual authority during their earth walk. However, Jesus defied the odds when He called his disciples “friends” in John 15:15, it reads, “Henceforth I call you not servants… but I have called you friends…” This was not an avenue for Jesus’ disciples to dishonor Him, rather it only revealed how close they were to Jesus’ heart. Therefore, it means a lot to a spiritual son, when his father in the Lord decides to relate with him as a friend.

However, spiritual wisdom and intelligence demand that the younger minister treasures it with his entire life when a senior minister treats him as a friend. This is because the privilege of access is a very rare thing to have and also it could take an entire lifetime to regain a relationship that is already broken due to carelessness or dishonor.

In the Christian faith, God’s grace flows from the top to the bottom. The Bible portion that best explains this phenomenon is found in Psalms 132:2, which reads: “It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron`s beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments.” This, therefore, reveals that there is a hierarchy in the body of Christ, and the oil will only flow from the beard to the skirt, and not the other way round.

Since the foundation has been established, let us move on to the discussion that this article is geared towards.

The Nigerian church has, in recent times, experienced a tremendous amount of growth and expansion, and some of the leaders of the church seem to attribute all the praise to God whenever it seems the praise is being directed towards them. A wise thing to do, the spiritually matured will say.

Among the various pastors and founders of ministries, who have been given a mandate by God to found or lead their ministries, one of them is the General Overseer (G.O) of the Redeemed Christian Church of God – Enoch Adejare Adeboye – popularly known as E.A. Adeboye. Adeboye is one of the oldest G.O’s in the Nigerian Pentecostal Church and as a result, he is considered a father to many ministers and founders of churches.

However, one of the Nigerian pastors who is known to be a spiritual son to Adeboye is, David Oyedepo – the founder and Presiding Bishop of the Living Faith Church (LFC). However, Adeboye and Oyedepo are very close, so that one may think they are colleagues or friends in the ministry. Nevertheless, that is not the case, the father-son relationship that exists between Adeboye and Oyedepo dates back to the ’80s, as it was the former who ordained the latter into ministry in 1983.
