Bishop David Oyedepo has mobilised his congregation for what he describes as a spiritual operation against rising insecurity, warning criminal networks that “their activities will not continue.”
He told worshippers that the country is facing a spiritual battle. “The battle is raging. The Islamic jihadists are running. But we belong to a higher realm of authority,” he said.
Reacting to recent attacks and ransom demands, he noted, “You pick someone and say you should bring seven hundred million. My God, who are you?” He added that those involved “will smell and stink within seven days,” insisting the declaration was made “in the name of the Lord Jesus.”
He instructed members to “anoint your houses, anoint your business places, and sprinkle the blood as a no-go area,” arguing that human trafficking and kidnapping have become “big-time business.”
Bishop Oyedepo emphasised that prayers will trigger spiritual consequences, saying, “When this church prays, God hears.” He stressed that “any member of this church touched equals fire and brimstone in the camp of the enemy.”
He described himself as “one of the watchmen over this nation” and announced that “between 12 and 1 a.m. from tonight,” congregants should cry to God
