Shiloh: Oyedepo makes comment on Nigerian presidency

The Shiloh convener stated that he already saw himself on top of nations.

His words:

“When I said it will be like demotion if I am called to be Nigeria’s president because I see myself on top of nations from scripture.
“The spirit of faith is action-driven, and its strength is your inner man. The day I saw God’s agenda for my life, I moved.”
