Presiding Bishop of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, David Oyedepo, has said the unity of Nigeria is divinely ordained, and that the country will not break-up, in spite of present challenges and agitations for self-determination.
Oyedpo, who spoke on a 30-minute long satellite telecast of the church’s breakfast prayer session, monitored by the News Agency of Nigeria in Jos, Plateau State, yesterday, said he was give a divine revelation in 1979 when he prayed for the wellbeing of Nigeria that the country would never disintegrate.
He also prayed for God’s intervention in the governance of Nigeria so that the officials of government would make policies that would be to the benefit of the people and the country.
Bishop Oyedepo prayed thus: “Nigeria shall not see war; God will visit eternal silence on every religious bigot being used to cause war; there will be no bloodshed in the country.
“Let Nigeria know peace; make this our independence gift; let every religious manipulator be stopped today. We shall not see war in this country again. God has given us peace, today, for the economic and industrial revolution of Nigeria, as a great nation.
“No agent of the devil will cause problems (for this country).”
