The General Superintendent of the Deeper Christians Life Ministry (Deeper Life), Pastor (Dr.) William Folalunsho Kumuyi has declared that God has not spoken to him about the 2023 general elections.
He added, however, that not revealing what will happen next year does not mean that he may have not spoken to other genuine men and women of God.
Pastor Kumuyi who is in Minna, Niger state for a weeklong Global Crusade with the theme, "The God of All Possibilities”, in a chat with newsmen said, “God has not shown me anything or spoken to me on anything about 2023 general elections”.
Though not ruling out the possibility that God may have spoken to or revealed what next year’s general elections portend for Nigeria and her citizens, starting from the campaigns, the elections proper and its outcome, Kumuyi said God speaks to different people at a different time and with different messages.
He told journalists at the Trade Fair complex, Minna the state capital after having time with youths, that his message from God concerning Nigeria may not have anything to do with prophesy on the general elections.
“God speaks to people in different ways and variant messages. What God spoke to Moses is different from what he told Abraham and the way he spoke to Joshua is a different message at different times. Sincerely, God has not spoken to me or revealed anything to me about the 2023 elections”.
Meanwhile, Pastor Kumuyi has encouraged Nigerians, youths in particular, to be part of the decision-making in 2023 by getting their PVCs and coming out and decide who takes over from President Muhammadu Buhari next year through their votes.
Appealing to youths to remain law abiding before, during, and after the elections, Kumuyi encouraged the citizens to come out in their numbers to exercise their franchise of deciding who leads them as President, Governors, and National and State assemblies based on their convictions about such persons.
Kumuyi who however prayed that the Nigeria of tomorrow will be better than today, said, “I am not telling the youths who to vote for because I don’t have the powers to do that. I want them to vote for candidates based on their own vision of the country they have all dreamed of”.
On the security situation bedeviling the country and what he has done as a man of God, Kumuyi said as an anointed man of God, he has taken time to pray but answers for the prayers and in its form is left for God as He alone has the ultimate power to decide, not man.
“I have prayed about the challenges facing Nigeria, including insecurity. We pray, we preach, but it is left for God to answer at his own time, in what form and at his own terms. I pray that we all live to see to the fulfillment of all that we have asked”, the clergyman declared. NNL.
