The founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide, Bishop David Oyedepo, has declared judgment upon bandits and their sponsors.

Mr Oyedepo said this during a church service on Sunday tagged: “Covenant Day of Vengeance.”

Speaking at the church headquarters in Ota, Ogun State, the cleric declared that within seven days, divine retribution would strike those behind killings and kidnappings across Nigeria.

“Except I am not sent, in the next seven days, I declare judgment upon those responsible for these disasters and their sponsors in Jesus’ name,” he said.

The cleric added that the coming week would be marked by “testimonies of vengeance” for the nation.

He said that God’s intervention was imminent.

Preaching on pathways to sanctification, Mr Oyedepo urged congregants to resist spiritual laxity, stressing that ungodliness blocks supernatural breakthroughs and stains destiny.

He explained that ungodliness fuelled shame and reproach, warning that without holiness, believers risked losing access to eternity, which remained the ultimate goal.

He said, “Until the God of vengeance shows up, the wicked will not give up.”
