President of Living Faith Church, famously known as
Winners’ Chapel, Bishop David Oyedepo, has
enjoined Christian faithful to seek God’s face ahead
of the forthcoming general elections.
The cleric urged his congregation to pray God to
deliver Nigeria from bad leadership.
Oyedepo made this remark at the just concluded
monthly programme of the church tagged “One Night
with The King” today, Saturday morning in Lokoja.
The Bishop, in his sermon titled “Engaging the
Prayer of Faith For Fulfillment of Prophecy”, called
on Christians to pray that God’s will should prevail
in the elections.
“We must commit the elections to God’s hands for
His will to be done and I am sure He will rescue this
nation.
“I am also sure that God will defend Nigeria from
bad leadership, because He rules over His people,”
he said.
Oyedepo, however, said that God determines the
destiny and future of any nation, saying that God
would determine the destiny of Nigeria.
He said God was “jealous over Nigeria for the sake
of the saints”, and that He will save the country
from the hands of evil agents.
“God gives kingdom of men to whomsoever He
pleases. Only God’s choices will emerge in all levels
of leadership in the elections,” Oyedepo declared.
Backing his sermon from Psalm, Chapter 24 Verse
One, the preacher said the earth is the Lord’s, as
well as everything in it, the world and all who live in
it.
He further quoted the Psalm’s Chapter 22 Verse
Eight and said that he who trusts in the Lord would
be rescued and He shall deliver him.
