Ota, Ogun state – Bishop David Oyedepo, the founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide, has insisted that Nigeria is in a season called the “distress of nation”.
As reported by Vanguard newspaper, speaking at the church’s service on Sunday, March 10, Oyedepo urged the Christian faithful to take cover in covenant stewardship.
