Pastor Ezekiel Odero has led the nation in praying for President William Ruto against the spirit of untimely death.

What did Pastor Ezekiel say about Ruto?

Praying at his New Life Church Prayer Center in Kilifi, Pastor Ezekiel rebuked the spirit of death at the state house, saying God anointed Ruto.

In a viral clip, Pastor Ezekiel prayed that the president, First Lady Rachel, and their children would be free from harm.

"Jesus, you gave us a president, Dr William Samoei Ruto. I rebuke the spirit of death upon him, the first lady and their children. They shall not die. That spirit should cease at once in the name of Jesus. Say Amen 12 times because he (Ruto) has the kingly anointing; God, you chose him.

The devil chooses nobody. You chose your servant. We rebuke the spirit of death at state house. We rebuke the spirit of death against DP Rigathi Gachagua, his spouse Dorcas and their children," prayed Pastor Ezekiel.

He also prayed for the Cabinet and the country's opposition leaders.

"We also rebuke death upon cabinet secretaries, members of parliament, governors and senators, MCAs, ambassadors, and opposition leaders. We rebuke death in Kenya across all 47 counties. That spirit must get out of Kenya," prayed Ezekiel.

Reacting to the clip, social media users joined Ezekiel in calling other believers and churches nationwide to pray for Kenya's leaders.

Jepz Kipngetich:

"No weapon shall be against Ruto in the name of Jesus."

Jenny Mambo:

"That is not our portion. To bury our leaders.”

Beeeke:

"Every man is destined to die but at the right time."

What did Pastor Ezekiel predict?

The prayer comes days after Ezekiel prophesied death was beckoning an unnamed top politician in Kenya.

During a sermon at his church, Pastor Ezekiel expressed concern for the politician's fate, saying he had received a vision of his demise twice.

The preacher claimed to be acquainted with the politician, but he could not warn him of impending doom because he was not picking up his calls.
