Presiding Bishop Living Faith Church Worldwide, David Oyedepo, has warned Christians over the escalating insecurity in Nigeria, following a spate of recent attacks on Churches that resulted in multiple deaths and abduction, saying Christians must take decisive action.
The bishop’s warning comes as international concern mounts, with Italy becoming the second G7 nation, after the United States, to openly demand an immediate end to the targeted killings of Christians in Nigeria.
Speaking at the Pre-Shiloh Encounter Church Service, Bishop Oyedepo expressed deep concern over the nation’s current situation.
“Developments in the past two weeks, particularly in Nigeria, are worrisome to say the least. There is need for a prompt response in prayers to stop the killings once and for all. You can’t trade people’s lives for your comfort.
“All the innocent blood shared is speaking vengeance… all the perpetrators will pay with their lives.
The cleric urged church members to launch into “midnight raid (prayers).
“Every member of this church should be awake one hour everyday for one week before violence descends to an@chy in Nigeria”, he said.
