Nigerian cleric and founder of Living Faith Church, Bishop David Oyedepo, has shared the message he said God gave him about insecurity in the country.

Old videos of the cleric warning Nigerians about rising insecurity had trended a few weeks ago, shortly after the attack on a church in Kwara state.

In the new recording, captured while he was ministering during a church service, Bishop Oyedepo said that after the seven-day fasting and prayer conducted by the church, God spoke to him.

According to him, God told him that He had heard his prayers and had “stepped in.”

In the clip, the 71-year-old preacher also stated that God has been speaking to him since 1976.

He added that those behind the recent attacks were already “under fire” and assured members that peace would be restored in Nigeria.

The cleric noted that once God intervenes, “the battle is over,” stressing that divine intervention would bring calm to the country.

Reactions were divided after the clip surfaced online. Some critics argued that nations do not grow by prayers alone, citing China and other countries as examples of development through intentional governance and structure.

However, others expressed optimism, saying God would indeed intervene and peace would return to Nigeria.

Recall that some other celebrities also reacted to the insecurity plaguing the nation.

@callmetunde___"Pastor, abeg rest. If prayer and night vigil were the secret to development, Nigeria for don pass Dubai since 1999. While other countries are building technology, infrastructure and strong institutions, you’re here forming spiritual spokesperson for the economy"


@dokitawaa___"Many may doubt it, but one thing is clear to me is that God is working, and His words are unfolding.
