General Superintendent of Deeper Life Bible Church, Pastor Williams Kumuyi has advised that Nigerians should distinguish between pronouncements and prophecies when talking about whether Nigeria would break up or not.
He made this statement during a media briefing before the Commencement of the Deeper Life Bible Church Three-day Crusade at Eiyenkorin in Ilorin, Kwara State.
He 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.”
He also said “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.”
