Bishop David Oyedepo, founder and General Overseer of Living Faith Church Worldwide, aka Winners’ Chapel, is up in arms against those he said 'do not want the country to move forward.'
Oyedepo, who made the statement while delivering a sermon, lamented that the country cannot get even the simplest of things right despite its enormous human and material resources.
As he decries the state of the nation, the Bishop said ‘Nigeria is gone’ and is only surviving on prayers from the Church of Christ.
He said, “How long do we keep going on and off, forward and backward in this country. Ordinary election we cannot manage in Nigeria.
“A country you take one step forward and 20 steps backward, a country where they kill people for sacrifice so they can win the election.
“Minus the Church of Christ praying Nigeria is gone, therefore any gang up against the settlement of Nigeria is destroyed.
“Anyone that would not let Nigeria go forward will go down for Nigeria, any agent of the devil to bring Nigeria under siege is broken.
“Nigeria is long overdue for settlement, On this day, I declare Nigeria must be supernaturally settled.
“Is Nigeria not long overdue for settlement, may God recompense tribulation for those that trouble Nigerians.
“All the troublers of this nation, I evoke tribulation on your life, all those that would not let this nation go forward shall go down for this nation
“But by all means, God will give peace to Nigeria, by whatever means let this nation not see war.
“Lord, let your vengeance answer for the rescue of our nation today. Amen.”
President Muhammadu Buhari ended up winning the 2019 election albeit controversially. And the wailing camp has since grown in numbers, as those who rallied to ensure a second term for Buhari, now felt the Buhari administration has betrayed them.
