Ota, Ogun state – Ahead of the 2023 general election, Bishop David Oyedepo, the President of Living Faith Church Worldwide, has said Nigeria needs a deliverer and not a leader.

The respected Christian cleric said this on Thursday, December 8, during a sermon at the ongoing Shiloh programme at the church’s headquarters in Ota, Ogun state.

Bishop Oyedepo, according to The Punch, lamented the current security and economic crises, adding that he warned Nigerians in 2015 that the country was heading for trauma.

Bishop Oyedepo urged Nigerians to therefore pray to God to send Nigeria a deliverer so people could have a rest of mind.

His words:

“I think I am prompted by the spirit we need to pray for this nation. I warned this nation in 2015 that we were heading for crisis and trauma, m any were washing their mouth. They are off today.

“God does not require consensus to raise a prophet. I saw a nation going down the drain, I cried. There are many prophets of politicians who speak what they want to hear.

“I have been very silent, what we need now is not a leader, it is a deliverer. Almost nothing remains except the church that can be called a nation.”
