“I pray for the sick but suffered heart attacks, diabetes” – Oyedepo’s son, Isaac

Isaac Oyedepo, the son of Living Faith Church’s founder, Bishop David Oyedepo, recounts how he overcame a series of health challenges while in the U.S.

The preacher who was appointed as the Youth Pastor of the Youth Alive Fellowship, YAF, the youth arm of the Living Faith Church in September 2023 made this known during a recent crusade in Ghana where he preached.

Isaac Oyedepo recounted suffering from diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, and enduring multiple heart attacks.

According to him, his doctor was shocked with how he managed to survive despite the entangled health complications.

In his words;

“I have passed through some things that I won’t tell you, it’s in the books you’ll read them. So, when you pass through challenges, rejoice.

“Particularly, there’s a healing mantle you may never be able to carry. Trace people, just watch, just do your trace, this mantle this man is carrying and asks the story.

“Let me tell you, I’m not saying you can’t carry the healing mantle without being sick before but there’s a kind of compassion that in our human nature, we ordinarily cannot have except helped by the Holy Ghost.

“I’ve been to the doctor, they said, ‘how did you survive? You’re a candidate for several heart attacks’. I said, “I know”. I knew one night I was virtually going to the bathroom in New York. Three reports, diabetes, high blood pressure and very obese.

“I used to pray for the sick before, they get healed but after I passed through that thing, the word of knowledge just went like boom”.

It is worth noting that Isaac Oyedepo launched his ministry, the Isaac Oyedepo Evangelistic Ministry, on November 28.

His ministry has successfully conducted numerous crusades both within and outside Nigeria.
