Oyedepo: Nigeria will Divide If it Becomes Islamic Nation

-

Founder of Living Faith Church worldwide, Bishop David Oyedepo, has declared that Nigeria will divide if it becomes an Islamic country and cautioned Nigerians and politician­s over the killings in the country.

Oyedepo gave this warning in a satellite telecast of the church’s prayer session for the country monitored yesterday by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).

The Bishop, while urging politician­s to repent and have value for the lives of citizens, said if they do not repent after this warning, they would fall down for the sake of the nation.

“Politician­s be warned, whether in power or not in power. There is no day Nigeria will become an Islamic nation and this nation will remain one nation,” he said.

“Allow the Christians to go to church, allow the Muslims go to their mosque and let the traditiona­l worshipper­s do their thing.

“God is giving Nigeria peace by all means; the peace of those promoting this wickedness, God is taking away, if they refuse to repent. Their supplies shall dry up because Nigeria shall not see war.”

He said every leader is just a caretaker and God remains the creator and owner of every Nation including Nigeria.

“When a caretaker starts behaving like a landlord he will be removed. God is the permanent landlord of the earth,” Oyedepo said.

“The God of heaven has given you authority and power. He has given you might and glory. Pride makes us think that we do not need God. Pride separates us from God. Nebuchadne­zzar did not give credit to God, and God had enough.

“God had warned Nebuchadne­zzar and had been very patient with him. But finally, the prophecy came true. All of the things that he was so proud of were taken away.

“Nebuchadne­zzar had to eat grass just like the goats and cows! He was used to living in a grand palace, but now he had no shelter over his head; For 7 years, the great King Nebuchadne­zzar lived out there in the wilderness like an animal.
