The founder of Living Faith Church, Bishop David Oyedepo, has asserted that Nigeria will never be Islamized.
Bishop Oyedepo made this proclamation during his sermon at the church headquarters in Ota, Ogun State, in response to reports of genocide occurring in Nigeria.
This declaration follows the United States' airstrikes on a terrorist base in Sokoto State on Christmas Day.
The clergyman recalled how God assured him that the battle against terrorism has already been won, highlighting the subsequent increase in foreign interest in combating terrorism in Nigeria.
According to Oyedepo: “For the first time in nearly 20 years, the persecutors are feeling the pressure. I declare with a loud trumpet sound that Nigeria will never be Islamized and cannot be Islamized.
“Every form of Islamic agenda for this nation is dead and buried. I am not only happy, but I am also overjoyed and celebrating the faithfulness of God.
“The battle is won. How many of you heard me when I said God told me that He has heard you and has intervened?
“There was no foreign interest at the time I made that statement, yet interest began to emerge globally. Ultimately, the battle is over.
“Whether there is genocide or not is not the main issue; are there killings? Who are the primary victims of these killings? Who are their main targets?”
