Chris Okotie, senior pastor of the Household of God Church
International Ministries, has urged citizens not to relocate from Nigeria over
insecurity.
Social media has been abuzz with talks of people wanting to
flee the country after Paul Adefarasin, senior pastor and founder of House on
the Rock, urged members of his congregation to have a planned escape route from
Nigeria.
Reacting in a statement on Tuesday, Okotie said Nigerians
should stand up to the security challenges, rather than abandon the country.
“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,” he said.
“They lurk in our
forests in covert stratagem. They parade our streets, byways and highways 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 marshalled 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!”
