Bishop Oyedepo son's confession on overcoming pornography sparks strong reactions online
Isaac Oyedepo, the son of Bishop David Oyedepo and a prominent figure in the Living Faith Church, has opened up about his past struggle with pornography in a recent podcast, prompting a wave of reactions from netizens.
His heartfelt and honest account sheds light on the challenges faced by individuals, including those in religious leadership, and emphasizes the importance of grace, mercy, and community support.
Isaac recounted the beginning of his struggle during an international trip. “It started when we traveled to one country. I was meant to be in the room alone, I switched on the TV, and that’s it,” he explained. This unexpected encounter led to a period of addiction that he overcame with what he describes as divine intervention.
He emphasized the importance of speaking to someone about such addictions as he indicated that he should have done that earlier.
“You may be anointed, seeing signs and wonders, but it does not mean you are standing right,” he noted.
Here are some notable reactions from netizens:

“Being a born-again doesn’t mean all your fleshy struggles just disappear. It takes continuous dependence on God to overcome the flesh. 🙏🏾❤️😇”

“I love to see this from leaders. Show your humanity, your struggles, and how you overcome it. That’s a good way to comfort and lead others right.”

“How do I walk away from sportybet please?”
@Afolayanmike
“The more you realize that pastors are human and face challenges just like everyone else, the less you expect perfection from them. No one can achieve perfection by their doings or tryings, ever!!”

“How many believers today are standing right before the Lord? NOTE: You may be anointed, seeing signs and wonders but it does not mean you are standing right.”
Isaac’s candid admission has not only humanized him but also resonated deeply with many who face similar struggles.
His story serves as a reminder that everyone, regardless of their spiritual status, encounters personal challenges and that overcoming them often requires transparency, support, and divine intervention.
