There has been mixed reactions to the viral video where Pastor Paul Adefarasin was watched advising his members to have plan B of mass moving from Nigeria.
This time another cleric the Shepherd Superintendent of the Household of God Church Oregun, Lagos, Rev. Chris Okotie is advising Nigerians against it.
In a statement titled: ‘Lets stand against Terror’ he urged Nigerians not to run away from their fatherland because of the current security situation of the country.
In a brief statement released to the media early today, Rev. Okotie said Nigerians should stand up to the challenges posed by terrorists, kidnappers and other violent criminals rather than abandon the country to the aggressors.
He supported his advice on several questions from the Bible He quoted to support his admonitions.
Below is the full text of his statement:
“David faced Goliath. Some trust in chariots and horses as veritable escapist instrumentality. But we will remember the name of the Lord. The hireling runs but the true shepherd repels the canine monstrosity of the old fox. No uncircumcised Philistine will annex the inheritance of the saints in light in Nigeria. They lurk in our forests in covert stratagem. They parade our streets, by ways and high ways in subtle disguise. Yet Jehovah has discovered their witty inventions. His indignation will consume them in holy jealously. Fear not beloved of the Lord for there is a sound of going in the tops of the mulberry trees. The armies of heaven are marshaled forth on our behalf. Remember, the taunting of Ishmael will not cause Isaac to lose the inheritance. So, stand your ground. Having done all, STAND!! Our God is Jehovah Sabaoth, the mighty God Almighty. Of whom shall we be afraid? Jesus Christ, Jehovah-Victor is the Ark of God and leads his army. Arise! Arise!, soldiers of the cross. Time to take the battle to the gate!!”
