The Presiding Shepherd of Harvest Centre (City of Mercy Mission Nigeria), Prophet Wale Ojo David spoke to Adeola Ogunlade about his ministry, outreaches, moral decadence, and God's mandate upon Nigeria as the nation goes to polls.

Can you share with us your background as a prophet?

I give Glory and honour always to his name as the Almighty God called me into the prophetic ministry. I was a businessman until God called me three decades ago. It was not easy obeying the call of God upon my life, but I left my business to yield to God's divine mandate for my life and I have not regretted that I did. The mandate of our ministry is geared towards the revival of the Christians, building fellowship through intercessory, evangelism, and care for the needy and our vision is the perfection of the word to the world. Yes, as prophet and prophecies are God's mystery for victory and recovery, 'For this reason, the son of God was manifested that he might destroy the works of the devil.'

In what ways does your ministry reach out to people?

The Bible says the gospel of Christ shall be preached to the world and then the end shall come. I have an interest and passion for evangelism, outreaches, and missions on the air, spiritual workshops, and empowerment.

Which outreach programme are you planning to hold now in the 1st quarter of the year?

(The atonement revival and gospel crusade at Ikale area Ondo State and Yewa area Ogun State). The Bible says as many who are led by the spirit of God are called the children of God. We hold our programmes according to the direction of the Holy Spirit).

Despite the number of churches in the county, we can still see that there is a high level of insecurity and even an unstable economy in the country. What do you have to say about this?

We need to give more and more glory to God Almighty because if not for His mercies, everything would have turned to zero. The truth is that we are still praying, and even the religious and spiritual leaders in Nigeria and entire Africa need to pray more to have a full recovery. It happened back then in the Bible also so it's not new but our prayers in seeking the help and mercy of God go a long way.

What do you think can rescue the nation of Nigeria and Africa in general?

In all situations, we need God's visitation through prayers and wisdom. The crises and challenges facing Nigerians are not ordinary but sin has brought the country to its knees. Repentance from sin and wickedness is the key to jubilation as a nation...
