GENERAL Overseer of the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM), Dr. Daniel Kolawole Olukoya, has assured that Nigeria will not disintegrate this year, arguing that God has an agenda for the country.
Despite such assurances, the Archbishop of Ondo Province of Anglican Diocese, Bishop Latunji Lasebikan, has called for fervent prayers for the country, just as the God’s Kingdom Society warned that the end of wicked people on earth and the evil reputation they now have should serve as warnings to those living today about the certainty of the judgment of God.
The Anglican clergyman expressed fears about the continued existence of the country after the 2015 general elections, but Olukoya, in his 2015 predictions at the church’s Prayer City, along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, said: “Nobody can destroy Nigeria, because it is a country of destiny. No matter what happens, one way or the other, the prophetic agenda and prayers will bail it (Nigeria) out of whatever quagmire it gets into.”
“The Lord will not mind to kill or maim anyone who may want to destroy Nigeria,” he said, noting that Nigeria is strategically located in the continent and its shape in the continent is like the trigger of a gun, meaning the country is the most dangerous or most volatile part of Africa, which must not be toyed with.
Describing the year as one of ‘Multiple Restoration and Unparalleled Favour’ as well as a year of ‘Vigorous Evangelism’ for MFM members, the church’s general overseer also gave 15 Ds to stand against in the year, as follows: deceit, delay, defilement, despair, disobedience, disbelief and distraction.
Other Ds are dishonesty, disappointment, discouragement, discord, doubt, double mindedness, deadness and dullness, as he also gave 41 prayer points he described as “machine gun prayers” to help believers across the world survive in the new year.
Addressing newsmen in Ilara-Mokin after the conferment of Church of Nigeria benevolent award on Chief Michael Ade-Ojo by the Primate of the church, Nicholas Okoh, Bishop Lasebikan said: “Nigeria needs God in order to escape the impending doom.”
Asked to expatiate on the uncertainty in the polity, the clergyman said: “It is not about painting gloomy pictures, but it is looking around and seeing gloomy pictures. Politics is not played in Nigeria alone, it is played in different parts of the world. But when it takes along indiscipline, anarchy, discourteous attitude, then we know there is problem.
“In some states they are not following the constitution and government is going on, that is anarchy.
On the way forward the clergyman said “Our leaders must learn righteousness, doing correct things, that is why the constitution is there and people flout the constitution to do what they like.”
Addressing worshippers at the Last and Great Day convocation of the Christian Feast of Tabernacles of the GKS, Brother Godwin Ifeacho outlined the atrocities of wicked men in history and asserted that the wicked would be punished not only in this present world but in the world to come.
