The founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide and Senior Pastor of Faith Tabernacle, Bishop David Oyedepo, has condemned the attack on a Christian church in Kwara state by bandits, insisting that Nigeria will never be an Islamic nation.
Oyedepo expressed his distaste over the attack while speaking in his church today November 23. He said he was deeply concerned about the persistent attacks on worshippers and communities and described the growing violence as “unacceptable” and “a direct assault on innocent lives.”
“The Church of Christ in Nigeria is indestructible. The gates of hell cannot prevail against it. Nigeria will never become an Islamic state. Never, never, never. The battle is raging. The Islamic jihadists are running. But we belong to a higher realm of authority.
Five people were shot dead in a church last week. Thirty-five abductees can’t tell where they are. And they are demanding a hundred million from a village setting.
Every perpetrator of these k!llings and their sponsors come under a curse today.
You pick someone and say, you should bring 700 million. My God, who are you? Everyone behind it, in the name of the Lord Jesus, within the next seven days, they are smelling.They are stinking. It’s done. Let’s come away to our spiritual responsibility. And break the arm of the devil from tormenting the lives of the innocent” he said
He lamented the rise in k!dnappings, which he said had turned into “big-time business,” with criminals demanding huge ransoms from poor communities.
Oyedepo urged members of the church, and Christians nationwide, to participate in seven days of intensive prayer beginning at midnight, describing it as a spiritual response to the worsening insecurity.
“When this church prays, God hears. All who are baptised in the Holy Ghost will join me in praying extensively in the spirit. By so doing, we are sending angels on a run. There will be catastrophes. There will be catastrophes. There shall be catastrophes. In the camp of the wicked, there shall be catastrophes”he said
