The Founder of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, Bishop David Oyedepo has stated that unity is the key to make Nigeria move forward as a nation. Oyedepo said this at the funeral service of Rev. Isaac Oyebamiji, the Founder and General Overseer, Chapel of Mercy, on Friday in Jos. According to Oyedepo, the progress and growth of Nigerian society depend on the unity and love that Christians will have for one another. He decried the challenges currently facing the nation saying they could be surmounted by the time Christians start speaking with one voice. ”It is high time Christians in Nigeria begin to speak with one voice; we must begin to love each other and even non-Christians ”Today, Nigeria is going through a lot because we refused to unite, we have refused to learn to live together. ”So, the unity of Christians is very important for the growth and development of this country,” he said. The cleric, who described the deceased as a ”true man of God”, called on other ministers of the gospel to emulate the lifestyle he had lived. He advised family members of the deceased to hold on to the beautiful legacies he left behind for the greater good of the society. Speaking, the wife of deceased, Pastor Olutoyin Oyebamiji, described her late husband as `honest and one who fears God’. She said that she was happy that it was the Lord who took him to Himself, hence she strongly believed he was resting and in a better place. She thanked all church leaders and those who stood by her and the family in their moment of grief and asked God to bless them all. Oyebamiji, 64, died after a brief illness in the U.S. He held a doctorate degree in Ministry, with emphasis on ”Leadership and Preaching” from the Asbury Theological Seminary, Kentucky, U.S. He is survived by his wife, five children and many other relatives.
