President of the Living Faith Church worldwide otherwise known as Winners Chapel, Bishop David Oyedepo has said that Nigeria needs a deliverer to recover from the lingering insecurity and imminent economic collapse.
Speaking at the church’s headquarters in Ota, Ogun State, during the 3rd day of the church’s Shiloh 2022 programme themed: Covenant Highways, he said: ” I warned this nation in 2015 that you are bargaining for trauma without knowing, but nobody listened, now the only thing that Nigeria is known for despite insecurity and economic collapse is the Church.”
The cleric urged the people to therefore pray to God to send Nigeria a deliverer so people could have a rest of mind.
He said, “I think I am prompted by the spirit we need to pray for this nation. I warned this nation in 2015 that we were heading for crisis and trauma, many were washing their mouth. They are off today.
“God does not require consensus to raise a prophet. I saw a nation going down the drain, I cried. There are many prophets of politicians who speak what they want to hear.
“I have been very silent, what we need now is not a leader, it is a deliverer. Almost nothing remains except the church that can be called a nation.”
Bishop Oyedepo said: “I am not a politician and would never be one. I have left that realm long time ago but this land must have rest.
“If you love Nigeria, you better pray that God should send us a deliverer and give us rest again.
“We are long over due for rest. He (God) sent them a deliverer in Israel and the land had rest for 80 years.
“We have a big conference going on in Redemption Camp. It’s the Church that is giving Nigeria a face of honour.
“We (the Churches) are at peace and they are at war but we want the well-being of every mortal man in the country. And as the Lord lives, as we pray, the deliverer will emerge.
“There shall be no war in Nigeria, there shall be no bloodshed in Nigeria. Nigeria shall prosper again and the shame of this nation will be rolled away. And the perpetrators will pay for it. You cannot kill other people’s children and have your children alive.
“It’s not size that makes a Prophet, it’s an election of grace. God will work wonders in Nigeria and this revival will bring about change in Nigeria.
“Say to the wicked, it’s shall not be well with thee, every sponsors of unrest in Nigeria, it shall not be well with them.
“It takes spiritual madness to pray for robbers, after they come to your house, saying God have mercy on them.”
The Bishop who was not particular about a presidential candidate to emerge said “We welcome all of them and God choice will give us rest.”
He had mounted the altar some minutes after the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, was introduced by the vice president of the church, Bishop David Abioye, who was welcomed with a loud ovation.
The Bishop said “Nigeria shall prosper again and the shame of this nation will be rolled away. And the perpetrators will pay for it. You cannot kill other people’s children and have your children alive.”
