Bishop David
Oyedepo, the president and presiding Bishop of Living Faith Church
Worldwide International, also known as Winners Chapel, is making
headlines again because of a clip of a sermon he delivered sometime
between 2013 and 2014.
In the video clip, Bishop Oyedepo is
visibly upset about the spate of killings which were being carried out
by Boko Haram and the Fulani herdsmen militia, and he places a curse on
the terrorists and sponsors of the violence targeted at Christians.
The reason the video may be gaining a
renewed attention is the on-going religious and ethnic cleansing being
carried out against the people of Southern Kaduna and the cross-fire
between the Muslim political leaders and clerics who attack Christians
leaders who asked Christian to defend themselves against the Islamist
Fulani herdsmen militia.
Oyedepo calls for Christians to defend
themselves against their attackers. “They said why should Christians say
they could defend themselves, hold it,” he said. “What stupid
statement, why should Christians say they could defend themselves? So,
they should watch for you to put a knife to their necks?”
At a point in the video, Oyedepo prays
to God to break up Nigeria “if it is his will”, and he also declared the
previous census in the country which indicates that the northern part
of the country is more densely populated that the South.
“All those zeros
census they are fake. Where are the human beings?,” he asked. “Where are
they? We go around the place. Where are they? We’ve never had a
successful census in this country. Where are they?”
Oyedepo is from Kwara State, in the
North Central region of the country and began the Living Faith Church 35
years ago in Ilorin. Shortly after, he moved to Kaduna, in Kaduna. He
moved to Lagos in the late 90s. Today, his church headquarters sits in
Otta, Ogun State where over 400,000 worshippers attend Sunday services.
Below are excerpts from the sermon and a 25-minute video showing the trending sermon.
“God sent me as His apostle of liberation to this continent to stop it from decadence.
“I heard from God and
He has proved it beyond measure. Therefore, every occultic root, every
political root of this uprising is cursed today!
“All the northern forces that are sponsoring this uprising and killings, I decree the curse of God upon them.
“Lord, if it is your will to break up Nigeria, break it now!”
“Come on, pray in the
spirit everybody. Pray in the spirit; open fire, call down the Holy
Ghost fire to descend on the camp of the enemy. Enough is Enough!
“If Nigeria wakes up, wait for the church to rise, there will be no more nation, what nonsense.”
“What demonic devils. What Islamic demons. If Nigeria waits for the church to rise, Nigeria will disappear as a nation.
“You mean God cannot protect people? What a mess!
“Every agent of destruction in government today, call fire down on their head, call fire down on their head.
“Everyone sponsoring evil against the nation, let your fire fall on him!
“A Boko Haram agent
was captured and they said he escaped. Everyone connected to his escape,
fire consume them, consume them, consume them!
“Fire of the Lord consume them!
“I was even told from
report that they were targeting this church. I said what? Even if I was
asleep, if you see anybody here kill him! Kill him and spill his blood
on the ground. I am saying that to you, what nonsense, what devil. You
think our God is an idol?
“If I put fire on your tail to overrun the city, you will do it in one minute. What is that? What devil?
“I stand today with every authority on me, and I declare the Boko Haram camp cursed!
“I declare their collaborators cursed! I decree their sponsors cursed!
“I declare their collaborators cursed. I decree their sponsors cursed!
“Must the north continue to rule?
“What devils!
“God has anointed me
to lead a revolution against the Islamic jihadist and as the Lord liveth
and as the anointing of Jeru-Baal that’s on me, we declare them extinct
in the name of Jesus! Amen!
“You catch anyone that looks like them, kill him!
“There is no reporting to anybody. Kill him! Pull off his neck! And we spill his blood on the ground. What nonsense.
“They said why should
Christians say they could defend themselves, hold it! What stupid
statement, why should Christians say they could defend themselves? So,
they should watch for you to put a knife to their necks?
“You think we are dummies? What! What?
“All those zeros census they are fake. Where are the human beings?
“Where are they? We go around the place. Where are they?
“We’ve never had a successful census in this country. Where are they?
“Don’t mistake only
those in politics as in power. The anointed in the Lord are the ones in
power. By divine ordination, don’t mistake that.
“There was a king in the land but Elijah was determining the events of the nation.
“If i say it will not rain here for three years, it will not drop. What nonsense!
“Who born their mother, who born their father? They are too small.
“Come! Get excited and walk in confidence. Any devil that misbehaves around you will be slain by the fire!”
THIS IS AUTHORITY FROM ABOVE, ENOUGHT IS ENOUGHT.
