Isaac Oyedepo, son of the founder of Living Faith Church aka Winners Chapel, Bishop David Oyedepo has opened up that he struggled with pornography at a point in his life.
He made this known while featuring on a podcast “Confession Box,” where he also disclosed that he indulged in the act during a trip to an European country.
He, however, added that he overcame it through the help of God.

Speaking during the interview Isaac said: “My confessions are good ones that will help people. I struggled with pornography before.
“I remembered how it started, we travelled to one country and I was meant to be in the room alone, I switched on the TV and that’s it.
“But God brought me out of it very quickly. A lot of people still struggle with it and I think of somebody who had struggled with it and had walked up to me and told me how to come out, I would have come out quickly.
“I think people feel there are things we shouldn’t talk about, but today there are some pastors and church members still struggling with it.
“You may be anointed, seeing signs and wonders but it does not mean you are standing right.
“There is this old saying that if it’s working it means you are standing right but I found out that it’s not always the case. There are times I found out I wasn’t right, but grace and mercy found me.
“For the sake of someone who is genuine in the congregation, God can bypass you to meet the person; this is my confession.”
He went on to clarify reports that he dumped Winners Chapel to start his own ministry, maintaining he is a member and steward in the church.
He further said he is currently carrying out the “assignment God gave him.”
“I am still in Winners, I’m still in Living Faith, I’m still a member and a steward because of the assignment that God has given to us. I think we just overcomplicate very simple things.
“Before I came in full-time to being a pastor, I was a member and what I see is that it was a transition. Nothing really changed but the challenge is seeing me on the altar ministering as a pastor.
“I am currently planted in a church in Abuja but then, I now have the liberty to pursue what God has asked and called me to do which I can’t do being a full-time pastor.” he said.
