You can also ask them how many of those who have destroyed the church has ever been caught? How many of the destroyed churches has government ever added a dime to rebuild?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have said it, let us remove the mask from the masquerade and nobody will fear it anymore. Government is part of this thing; you don\u2019t need to go to school to know that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf people claimed responsibilities to the killings in Jos and were not arrested, the question is who is to arrest them? Is it the citizens or government? It\u2019s the government, but they cannot arrest them because they are their agents.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While stating that every leader is a caretaker and God remains the creator and owner of every nation, including Nigeria, he added that Nigeria would have peace when they understand that God is in control of everything, including the land.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen a caretaker starts behaving like a landlord he will be removed. God is the permanent landlord of the earth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToo many arrogant foes who pose to own this nation, be warned because the day of God\u2019s judgement is here.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose who sponsor and perpetrate killings and also offer covering for killers to keep killing, God will lead them to rest. God will give us peace in this country by all means.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGod enthrones kings and removes kings,\u201d he said.\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Bishop of Living Faith Church (aka Winners Chapel), Bishop David Oyedepo, yesterday said the inability of the government to arrest killer herdsmen in some part of the Middle Belt zone was because the killers were agents of the government.
