Prophet Samuel Oyadara, Founder of Christ for All People Church of God, Ojo, Lagos, has called for a spiritual revival in Nigeria, saying the country’s greatest need at the moment is a “God-sent prophet” capable of confronting moral, political and spiritual decadence.
Oyadara, in a statement titled “A Nation in Need of God’s Prophet,” said Nigeria was experiencing what he described as a “famine of the hearing of the Word of God,” despite the proliferation of churches, evangelism programmes, crusades and gospel messages across the country.
According to him, the country has no shortage of skilled preachers and well-funded Christian organisations, but lacks leaders with the spiritual depth and courage to seek divine intervention over the nation’s challenges.

“Where, oh where, is the prophet?” he asked, while calling for men of God who, like Moses, would intercede for the nation through fasting and prayer over what he described as “moldy morality, political perfidy, and sour and sick spirituality.”
The cleric also raised concerns about the 2027 general elections, warning Nigerians against making choices that could plunge the country into another four years of what he termed “leadership bondage.”
Oyadara recalled a prediction he said was published in the Nigerian Tribune on January 1, 2023, that the cost of living would rise if the All Progressives Congress (APC) and President Bola Tinubu won the election.
He argued that subsequent economic difficulties had vindicated the prophecy, citing the biblical injunction that “God is not a man that He should lie.”
On corruption, the prophet accused Nigeria of celebrating individuals he described as “looters, criminals, and corrupt leaders,” warning that corruption was capable of separating a nation from God.
He also highlighted the leadership legacy of Chief Obafemi Awolowo, describing the former Premier of the old Western Region as the only Nigerian leader who, in his assessment, established a lasting legacy.
Oyadara cited Awolowo’s establishment of the first television station in Africa, construction of Cocoa House in Ibadan and introduction of free and compulsory education as examples of his achievements.
On religion, he argued that religious freedom should not extend to the worship of idols, maintaining that any nation that permits such practices was acting against God.
Turning to international affairs, Oyadara said US President Donald Trump was “sent by God” to defend the world against terrorism, although, according to him, many nations were unaware of this divine purpose.
The cleric further linked the calamities occurring across the world to the biblical end-time warnings contained in Matthew 24.
He urged Nigerians and people across the world to remain spiritually prepared for the return of Jesus Christ, stressing that although “no one knows the day or the hour,” people should be ready for the Saviour.
