He worked as a lecturer at Open Cast Polytechnic, Auchi from 1985 till 1986, and wanted to start a technological firm to solidify his finances. However, when he met future founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide, David Oyedepo at a Christian Student Fellowship in the 1980s, he was inspired by the what he saw as his passion and love for God.[a fact or an opinion?] Over the years, their relationship transcends from brotherly friendship to a spiritual mentor.[a fact or an opinion?] After the departure of Oyedepo to Lagos, Abioye was the senior pastor of Garden of Faith, Kaduna, which was the former national headquarters of the church.[8] In 1993, he became a bishop in the church.
