Presiding Bishop of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, David Oyedepo, has assured Nigerians that the nation will not descend into chaos despite the recent surge in kidnappings and killings across the country.
Speaking during the 4th Pre-Shiloh Encounter Service, Oyedepo said Nigeria’s turbulent moments would not prevail, insisting that divine intervention would frustrate every agenda threatening the peace of the nation.
“When God steps in, the pride of men is cut. Every arrogance will be cut down,” the cleric declared during the sermon.
Oyedepo maintained that all forms of aggression targeted at the church would attract divine retribution.
“Every attack against the church shall be met with divine justice. Don’t politicise human life; it’s immoral,” he warned.
He urged Christians to unite in prayer, calling for a one-hour national intercession.
“Let’s join our hands and hearts together and pray that prayer — one hour only, 12am to 1am,” he said.

His remarks come amid renewed concerns over insecurity, including continued abductions across several states.
Earlier, the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) confirmed that 50 abducted Catholic school students in Niger State escaped and reunited with their families, a development that offered some relief after weeks of anxiety.
Oyedepo emphasized that his declarations were not mere rhetoric but “words from the burning spirit of a prophet,” asserting that the country’s stability would be preserved.
