The General Superintendent of the Deeper Life
Bible Church, Pastor William Kumuyi, has said
that God will not allow Nigeria to break up in
2015.
He said that regardless of the political tension,
insecurity and predictions that Nigeria would
break up in 2015, the country would not be
dismembered.
He spoke on Tuesday during a media briefing for
the commencement of the Deeper Life Bible
Church three-day crusade at Eiyenkorin in Ilorin,
the Kwara State capital.
He advised against utterances and acts that could
divide the country, saying that God’s purpose is
for Nigeria to remain united.
He stated that there would be life transforming
encounters with God, adding that God would lift
the burden of people during the crusade.
Kumuyi said, “Sometimes people misunderstood
the power of prophecy and there are people who
will make negative pronouncements.
Pronouncements are not necessarily prophecies.
Every utterance on Nigeria breaking up is a
pronouncement made from observations and not
prophecies.
“I believe those who made those pronouncements
based on some things they see or feel should say
‘they feel Nigeria may break up’ and not that God
said that. Because if God could hear the voice of
only Moses and spared Israel and they still exist
over 3,000 years after, then God loves Nigeria
and would not allow it to break up.
“God has a purpose for Nigeria. When people
talk of division, the truth is that once you start
the process, it never ends. Once you say, ‘people
in the North, go your way and those in the
South, go your way,’ there are other people who
will also rise up to say they too want to go their
own way even within you. You know what
happened in the 1960s; several sides will begin to
be asked to go away but I know that God has a
purpose for bringing Nigeria together and we
shall remain one.”
Kumuyi also advised the electorate to elect
leaders based on competence rather than on
sentimental considerations.
He added that leaders should not be elected
necessarily because of their religious or ethnic
cleavages but should be elected based on their
ability to deliver dividends of democracy and
good governance to the people.
He urged the electorate to evaluate the
manifestoes of political parties and politicians
and vote wisely and rightly.
He also called on Nigerians to be committed to
nation building, adding that the Federal
Government and the security agencies should
continue in their efforts to address insecurity and
other violent crimes in the country.
He also urged Nigerians and clerics to continue to
pray to God to intervene and bring an end to
insecurity in the country.
The cleric also advised Nigerians to avoid
destructive criticisms, adding that people should
appreciate the positive impacts of their leaders
and offer constructive criticisms.
