Nigeria needs a deliverer, not a leader, according to Bishop David Oyedepo, Senior Pastor of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, as the general election of 2023 approaches.

He said this during a sermon at the ongoing Shiloh program at the church’s headquarters in Ota, Ogun State on Thursday, December 8.

Lamenting about the deplorable state of security and economic crises in the country, the clergyman said he warned Nigerians in 2015 that the country was heading for crisis.

“I think I’m 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, many 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.”he said
