God Told Me Not to Collect Offerings — Isaac Oyedepo


 Pastor Isaac Oyedepo, the founder and president of Isaac Oyedepo Evangelistic Ministries (IOEM), has announced that his ministry will soon begin Sunday worship services in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital city. According to the pastor, the decision to expand the ministry’s activities to Abuja was made after receiving clear instructions from God.

In a statement shared with members and followers of the ministry, Pastor Oyedepo explained that the upcoming Sunday services are focused solely on spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ, teaching the Word of God, and helping people grow spiritually. He emphasized that the services are not designed for financial gain or personal benefit.

One of the major points that has drawn public attention is Pastor Oyedepo’s announcement that no offerings will be collected during the Sunday services. He said this decision is based on divine instruction and reflects the ministry’s commitment to operating strictly according to God’s direction.

According to him, the ministry’s mission is to reach souls, restore hope, and strengthen faith, especially in a time when many people are facing economic hardship and spiritual challenges. He stated that the gospel should be made available freely, without placing any financial pressure on worshippers.

Pastor Oyedepo also made it clear that attendance at the Abuja services will be completely free, and members will not be asked to give money in any form, including tithes, offerings, or special donations during the services. He encouraged people from all backgrounds to attend and experience God’s Word without fear of financial expectations.

The announcement has sparked conversations across social media and among Christian communities, with many praising the move as refreshing and compassionate. Supporters have described it as a return to the simplicity of early Christian worship, where the focus was on faith, teaching, and fellowship rather than money.

Isaac Oyedepo Evangelistic Ministries has been involved in evangelism, prayer meetings, and outreach programs aimed at transforming lives through biblical teachings. The expansion to Abuja marks a new phase in the ministry’s growth and outreach efforts.

Details regarding the venue, service time, and official start date of the Abuja Sunday services are expected to be announced soon. Pastor Oyedepo urged interested worshippers to stay connected through the ministry’s official communication channels for updates.

As anticipation builds, many Nigerians are looking forward to the launch of the Sunday services, hopeful that it will provide a place of worship centered on faith, truth, and spiritual growth without financial obligations.
