Oyedepo Tells Congregants to Share His Number with Kidnappers

During a recent sermon at Canaanland, Ogun State, Bishop David Oyedepo, the founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide, instructed his congregants to give kidnappers his phone number if they were abducted. He recounted a previous incident where divine intervention led to the safe release of a church member after he was contacted.
Oyedepo mentioned that a female church member's father had been kidnapped, and despite the kidnappers not calling for 24 hours, he urged the congregation to recognize the spiritual authority of the church, asserting that it is above evil forces. His remarks have sparked widespread reactions on social media, highlighting the ongoing issue of kidnapping in Nigeria and the church's role in addressing such crises.
