To those who thronged the expansive Glorious Help Mountain located at Oke-Aregba, Abeokuta, Ogun State, operated by LordArise Global Christian Church(LGCC) during the New Year Eve Service which heralded 2025, the declaration by the American President, Donald Trump, of an imminent military invasion of Nigeria, did not come as a surprise.
Pastor Frank Adeyemi, General Overseer of the Church, had while reeling out 54 prophecies for the year, hinted that Nigeria will be besieged by the United States in the course of the year.
Among other predictions, the Man of God had warned Nigeria to be careful of an impending deluge of external aggression aftermath of a major military invasion by an unnamed territorial superpower.
According to the transcript of the audio recording of the prophecies in circulation, the planned invasion has other connotations aside the concerns over Christian genocide in the country.
This was the way Pastor Adeyemi put it: “A particular nation will invade Nigeria this year. Nigerians should pray very fervently. That nation will say what Nigeria is doing is not good.
“The real intention of that country is not to wage war against our people but certain governments or nations eventhough under the camouflage of facing Nigeria.”
Pastor Adeyemi whose Church Missionary Headquarters is based in Oke-Jeun, Jakande, Ojo area of Lagos but with Parishes in Badagry, Abeokuta, Iperu-Remo and other locations in Ogun State, advised the government to be sensitive in how they treat welfare and security of other nationals within the country as Nigeria may incur backlash of military attack from other countries.
Among other prophecies, some of which had come to pass, was that prices of food items and other commodities will begin to drop sharply beginning from the third month(March), even though he stated that certain forces behind affliction of poverty for Nigerians will reverse the downward trend by April when prices of those commodities will rise again.
Pastor Adeyemi, when contacted by newsmen on the implications of the prophecy, counselled President Bola Tinubu to approach the Body of Christ in Nigeria to mobilize Pastors and key leaders in the faith to seek divine intervention in order to halt the military onslaught from President Trump.
Hear him: “Trump’s plan to invade Nigeria is not an empty threat. It should not be taken lightly. Being a superior power, Trump is today the equivalent of King Nebuchadnezzar whose authority, affluence and capability tower above other world leaders.
“My first appeal is to the Body of Christ that is churches and Christian leaders to take spiritual charge over Nigeria. Nigeria must not go down. We must superintend over Nigeria’s destiny, irrespective of what political leaders are doing.
“The threat is not an ordinary threat because God already leaked the information to us during the New Year Eve of December 31st, 2024. God knew every event that has taken place or will ever happen worldwide.
“We must come together to pray as one man, all of us. Bible says those who call upon the name of God shall be saved. It means our prayer in oneness can move the hand of God to reverse the threats of Trump and stop him.
“However, it is very important that our fathers in faith must first call an assembly in order to know the mind of God as per what strategy to use. Is it by prayer, fasting, praise or scriptural proclamations?
“This is not the time to say it is Christian or Muslim genocide. All of us Nigerians are victims of terrorism. If Trump carries out the invasion, how do you separate Christians and Muslims when the axe of judgement begin to fall? We are all affected in this and only God can help.
“This is now the time for our dear President Tinubu to court the friendship of the Body of Christ in Nigeria and mobilize all Pastors in order to help call upon God and move his hand against any onslaught coming from Trump. He did it to King Ahaseaurus in the Bible when the fasting and prayer of God’s people made him reverse the earlier proclamation of death for the jews.
“God always have simple solution to complex problems provided He is called upon to intervene.
Pastor Adeyemi, however, emphasized that It is sheer ignorance for Nigerians to think God will overlook the unprecedented volume of blood of innocent humanbeings spilled for nothing by armed men, bandits, insurgents and terrorists over time.
According to him, Nigeria’s cup is already full for vengeance, stressing that there will always be consequence for wanton killings and shedding of blood of innocent people.
He declared: “Just like Abel’s blood kept crying for vengeance in the Bible, Nigeria’s cup is full. Only mercy can bail Nigeria out from the judgement dangling upon the Nation.”
