Polls: Oyedepo urges Christians to pray for God’s will

President of Living Faith Church
Worldwide, Bishop David Oyedepo,
has urged Christians to earnestly
pray for God’s choices to emerge at
all levels of leadership in the
forthcoming elections.
Oyedepo made the call at a
monthly programme of the church
tagged “One night with The King”
on Saturday morning in Lokoja.
The Bishop, in his sermon titled
“Engaging the Prayer of Faith For
Fulfillment of Prophecy,” urged
Christians to pray that God’s will
should prevail in the elections.
“We must commit the elections to
God’s hands for His will to be done
and I am sure He will rescue this
nation.
“I am also sure that God will defend
Nigeria from bad leadership,
because He rules over His people,’’
he said.
Oyedepo, however, said that God
determines the destiny and future
of any nation, saying that God
would determine the destiny of
Nigeria.
He said God was “jealous over
Nigeria for the sake of the saints
and He will save the country from
the hands of evil agents.
“God gives kingdom of men to
whomsoever He pleases. Only
God’s choices will emerge in all
levels of leadership in the
elections,” Oyedepo declared.
Quoting the book of Psalms,
Chapter 24 Verse One, he said the
earth is the Lord’s, as well as
everything in it, the world and all
who live in it.
He further quoted the Psalm’s
Chapter 22 Verse Eight and said that
he who trusts in the Lord would be
rescued and He shall deliver him.
Earlier at the programme, prayer
points were offered to God for
peaceful elections and for peace in
the country.
