Pastor William Kumuyi, Founder and General Superintendent of Deeper Christian Life Ministry, has urged Nigerians, especially Christians, not only to pray for the 2023 elections but also vote.

Kumuyi gave the advice on Wednesday in Ibadan while addressing newsmen on a forthcoming crusade organised by Deeper Christian Life Ministry.

The crusade will hold in Ibadan from Jan. 27 to Jan. 30.

He urged Christians to pray God to give Nigeria leaders who would turn around the nation for the better.

“Just like a farmer who will always plant before harvest, faith without works is dead.

“While we pray, we should take actions to come out and vote.

“We need to understand that our destiny is in our hands, we need men of spiritual authority like Abraham who can influence the condition of the nation through their prayers.

“We need men who will stand in gap for our nation, just like the few righteous in Sodom who Abraham asked God to consider when He wanted to destroy the nation,” he said.

Regarding some prophesies made by some men of God about Nigeria, Kumuyi remarked that some prophesies could be fulfilled based on conditions.

“There are prophesies that can be fulfilled at an appointed time, while some on conditions such as the case of Hezekiah in the Bible.

“One can prophesy about a nation or continent, but one’s prayers and faith can always influence/affect the fulfilment of the prophecy,” he said.

He said that the crusade tagged ‘Total Freedom through Faith In Christ’, would feature salvation, healing and deliverance.

“Being the first one in 2022, we trust God that it will be a pace setter.

“The programme will be transmitted to the world from different locations, and we believe God that great things will happen,” he said.

The crusade will be held at CAC Grammar School, Aperin-Oniyere, Ibadan.
