“Heaven on Earth’, says the man to the other man passing by.
“Wonders without end, that is your realm and that is my realm”, the other man replies.
Don’t be surprised by this salutation. They are members of Nigeria’s Living Faith Church Worldwide, famously known as Winners Chapel.
The founder of the church, Bishop David Oyedepo told the congregation at the weekend that he had a divine revelation that members should now greet one another in this new way.
In the past Winners Chapel members used to exchange salutation by one member saying to the other: ‘blessing unto you’ and the second person responding: ‘we are winners family’.
According to Oyedepo, “as the year’s running to an end, several things will be happening and it shall be a good one.”
He spoke at a special thanksgiving programme of the church which was held at the Canaanland, the headquarters of the church,along Ota-Idiroko Road, Ogun State.
He admonished Nigerians to remain steadfast and prayerful,especially at this trying period of the nation.
Oyedepo maintained that only God can deliver the country now and all hands must be on deck to ensure the country remains indivisible.
He called on the people to allow God’s decision to prevail during next year election,as failure to accept that may cause crisis in the country.
According to him: God loves this country as he has blessed it with both human and mineral resources.
He therefore urged politicians to tread softly in 2015 to make the country be better for all Nigerians to live in.

Whenever was Nigeria not going through a trying time. This religious mother fucker asks for prayer to save Nigeria that way human beings are exonerated from blame for all their dirty deeds done dirt cheap which is the signature of their culture. In which country have you ever seen God act relative to the price of gas, freedom from harassment, gross public corruption, inequality and neglect of the weak and poor? Human beings rescue nations based on the rule of law and good conscience not prayer or contemplative wishes.
