EKO HOT BLOG reports that Oyedepo stated this while addressing worshippers during a church service in Warri, Delta State.
The cleric urged believers not to depend solely on earthly institutions for inner peace, describing peace as a divine gift that can only come from God.
“No government in this world can give you peace, neither can you find it in the market. It is only God that can give you peace,” Oyedepo said.
According to him, while governments have responsibilities to provide security and good governance, genuine peace of mind and lasting tranquillity come from an individual’s relationship with God.
He made the remarks while encouraging worshippers to strengthen their faith and seek God’s presence in their daily lives.
Meanwhile, Oyedepo has said members of the church have the capacity to influence the outcome of the 2027 general elections.
The clergyman stated this on Sunday while delivering a sermon titled, “Breaking the Curses of Life,” during a service at Canaanland, Ota, Ogun State.
Oyedepo said the church would play a role in the 2027 elections, citing the numerical strength of its members.
He urged worshippers to obtain their Permanent Voter Cards ahead of the elections and participate actively in the electoral process.
The cleric described voting as a civic responsibility, stressing that citizens have the right to determine who governs them.
He also urged Christians to participate actively in political processes instead of remaining indifferent to decisions that affect the country.
“We have a civic responsibility as responsible citizens of our various nations.
“We are not passers-by in our nations. We are bona fide citizens of the nation, and we have a right to participate in who governs us.
“We have a right to determine who rules us. And this church, with the millions that we have, has a say in it. So be part of it,” he said.
Oyedepo’s comments come as political parties and aspirants begin preparations ahead of the 2027 general elections, with discussions around voter participation and civic engagement expected to intensify.
