According to a YouTube video, posted by Excerpt From Bishop Abioye, Bishop David Abioye has finally addressed the speculation surrounding his greatest regret in ministry. Having served under the leadership of Bishop David Oyedepo for nearly four decades before retiring in October 2024, his exit left many wondering if he harbored any regrets.
During a recent interview, Bishop Abioye put all doubts to rest. When asked about his regrets in ministry, he emphatically declared that he had none. He described his calling to ministry as a divine privilege rather than a burden, emphasizing that regret only arises when individuals fail to fully commit to their calling.
He highlighted that many ministers struggle with regret because they hold on to their past professions, failing to fully embrace their divine assignment. Drawing inspiration from biblical figures like Elisha and Peter, he stressed the importance of leaving all behind to follow God’s calling wholeheartedly.
Recalling his own journey, Bishop Abioye shared how he and his wife started with little-one pair of worn-out shoes, a single bed, and minimal possessions-but never felt regret. He attributed fulfillment in ministry to complete surrender to God’s purpose, cautioning against unhealthy comparisons with others.
Bishop Abioye concluded by encouraging ministers and gospel singers to avoid competition, focus on their unique callings, and seek fulfillment rather than worldly success. His message remains a powerful testament to unwavering faith and dedication in ministry.
