Despite timely warning by National Emergency Manage-ment Agency (NEMA) for Nigerians to brace up for another massive flooding this year, General Overseer, Christ Mercy-land Deliverance Ministry, Effurun, Delta State, Prophet Jeremiah Omoto Fu-feyin has enjoined Nigerians not to panic, saying the scourge will be tackled immediately through the divine grace of God, if it happens, reports SAM EYOBOKA.

NEMA had raised an alarm of a another flood in the country based on information at its disposal that the Lagdo dam in northern Cameroon would be emptying water into the River Benue until November to relieve an excessive build-up.

The prophet, who declined comments of political happen-ings in the country, in an inter-view, prayed for God’s guidance for President Muhammadu Buhari to appoint selfless, pious and credible persons into his cabinet.

“I am for everybody and my own is to pray for the country, our government, Africa and the whole world. Infact, the president has the right to appoint whoever he likes as ministers, special advisers or ambassadors. I will not fail to pray for anyone he appoints, so, I don’t bear grudge against anybody,” he stated.

On the NEMA warning about flood, the man of God wondered why Nigerians should be having sleepless nights over an issue that may not occur, noting that God has endued him with grace to stop any unpleasant occurence that may happen in Nigeria.

“We should try as much as possible to build our faith and believe that there won’t be a re-occurrence of the tsunami of 2012. We should really not be afraid of the unknown. I believe that by the grace of God, the scourge will be contained and will not be calamitous like in the past,” the prophet assured.

Fufeyin also expressed dis-pleasure over the degree of hatred existing in the Church, especially character assassinat-ion among men of God, describing it as a bad omen. He advised Christians to love one another as Christ love the Church, so that the work of God can progress.

Speaking on the state of the nation, he predicted that Nigeria will not disintegrate.

Asked about the source of his powers, the miracle worker said his powers are from God, noting that the “Holy Bible says by their fruit ye shall know them. Any prophet or cleric that does not have the anointing of God will not be difficult to know, because people will believe that such a fellow is using magical power.

“Any person can be a cleric but those who are really called by God are not difficult to know because what they say always comes to pass. But I must say that it is not good enough to condemn any man of God, rather people should allow God to judge them,” he pointed out.

According to him, though “I am called by God Almighty, I am not in a position to condemn anybody. Most importantly, I would say those criticizing fellow ministers need deliverance because it is a sin that a man of God is condemning another man of God. It is a fact that every clergyman does not have the same anointing because all fingers are not equal.”

Explaining the success of his four-and-half year ministry, he said it can be traced to the huge number of people who had undergone deliverance in the ministry in addition to offering both financial and spiritual assistance to the needy.

“I need not mention thousands of persons I have helped,” he noted, stating that it may not have all rosy but when challenges rear their heads, they are promptly tackled, “because I am not a pessimistic. I love everyone that come my way and I pray for them too. Criticisms and challenges are part of life. It is good for one to face challenges, after all, our lord Jesus Christ encountered several challenges and he came out victorious.”
