Founder and presiding bishop of Living Faith Church Worldwide, a.k.a Winners Chapel, David Oyedepo, has asked his followers to “spill the blood” of those planning to attack his church.
Speaking on the state of insecurity in the country, the fiery cleric called on Christians to defend themselves.
He also cursed the sponsors of the attacks against Christians, and appealed to God to break Nigeria if it is His will.
It is not clear when the influential bishop made the remarks, but the video was uploaded to YouTube on Friday.
His words: “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?”
“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?
“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! If Nigeria wakes up, wait for the church to rise, there will be no more nation, what nonsense.”
The visibly angry man asked his congregation to pray and command “the Holy Ghost fire to descend on the camp of the enemy”.
