In recent video on YouTube, Bishop David Oyedepo, the influential founder of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, shared a powerful message on humility, contentment, and the perils of envy, drawing from personal experiences to illustrate his points.
Recalling a moment from his past, Bishop Oyedepo recounted an interaction where someone reacted dismissively upon learning that his car was a Volkswagen Beetle. He further highlighted that people often lose sight of their potential by succumbing to negative comparisons and feeling ashamed of humble beginnings.
He warned against harboring envy towards those who are advancing, advising that wishing others well will pave the way for personal success.
According to him, “Somebody said “Brother David, did I hear you got a car?” I said yes, God gave me a fantastic car. “Did I hear it is a Volkswagen Beetle?” I said yes and he said God forbid. People become too big in their sight that they lose their future. I made a vow against borrowing 4th October 1981. A car is passing and you are saying God forbid. Why? Do you want to collect it from the owner? It was Beetle then, it is flight today. Somebody’s story is taking a new turn.”
“Keep wishing everyone going ahead well, you will soon arrive there. Don’t gang up against those who are going forward otherwise you stay backwards. You can’t pull people that are up, down unless you are down.
Stop pulling people that are up down, you never leave the ground. Nobody’s rising is the reason for your failure, the sky is too wide for two birds to collide. Carnal comparisons…..Discover More
