Presiding Bishop of Living Faith Church Worldwide, David Oyedepo, has renewed a 15-year warning about rising insecurity in Nigeria, following recent attacks on churches that have left several worshippers dead and others abducted.
Speaking at the 4th Pre-Shiloh Encounter Service monitored by Vanguard yesterday, Oyedepo expressed deep concern over the state of the nation.
He said: “Developments in the past two weeks, particularly in Nigeria, are worrisome to say the least. There is need for a prompt response in prayers to stop the killings once and for all. You can’t trade people’s lives for your comfort.
“All the innocent blood shared is speaking vengeance…all the perpetrators will pay with their lives.”
Asserting further his connection to the nation, the cleric said “no one is more Nigerian than myself. We all have our ancestral grounds. We all know power passes power, no power passes the power of God.”
He urged members of his church to engage in midnight prayers, saying “we are going out on a midnight raid (prayers).
