"THE BUBBLE IS ABOUT TO BURST": BISHOP DAVID OYEDEPO REBUKES GOVERNMENT OVER UNCHECKED KILLINGS

​The Presiding Bishop of Living Faith Church Worldwide (Winners Chapel), Bishop David Oyedepo, has delivered a scathing rebuke of the government's handling of national security, warning that public patience over persistent killings and violent attacks across the country has worn out.

​Addressing his congregation during a live service, the cleric expressed deep outrage over the continuous loss of innocent lives, dismissing expectations that religious leaders and victims should remain passive or offer prayers of peace for perpetrators of violence.

​"You cannot slaughter members of my family and expect me to pray for you. I will pray against you and your household," Oyedepo declared. "The government is pretending like they don't know what to do. I have been quiet for a long time, but the bubble is about to burst."

​Key Takeaways from the Sermon

​Condemnation of Security Inaction: Bishop Oyedepo accused authority figures of failing in their primary constitutional duty to protect lives and property, characterizing official responses to widespread insecurity as deliberate pretense.

​Shift in Spiritual Stance: Challenging conventional calls for tolerance toward perpetrators, the bishop declared that spiritual warfare and imprecatory prayers would be directed against those orchestrating violence and bloodshed against innocent citizens.

​Warning of Impending Fallout: Expressing grave concern over the heightening frustration among citizens, Oyedepo cautioned that long-standing public silence should not be mistaken for weakness, warning that unchecked insecurity threatens total national instability.

​The bishop’s strong remarks have resonated widely across social media platforms, sparking intense public debate over state security obligations, self-defense rights, and the role of religious leaders in speaking truth to power during security crises.
