General Overseer of the Living Faith Church (Winners Chapel), Bishop David Oyedepo has stated that the church has recorded 114 coronavirus healing testimonies, 10 this week alone.
The cleric who blasted the federal and state governments over the continuous restriction on religious gatherings said, the coronavirus is nothing but an anti-church virus. “Now, freedom of worship is no longer a constitutional right. It is now determined by certain individuals.”
Oyedepo who made this known in a sermon on Sunday, said the virus is the grand design of the devil globally to see how he can silence the church. “Can anyone silence the church,” he rhetorically asked.
He noted that God heals people in the church and not the market place. Wondering why markets are allowed to open with traders allegedly not observing social distancing or hygiene while churches remain closed on account of COVID-19.
He said, “I have never heard of anybody that got healed in the market but God heals people in the church day and night. We have recorded 114 coronavirus healing testimonies, we got 10 this week. And that is the place that is vulnerable and not the market?” he asked.
Religious gatherings and other forms of social gatherings are currently restricted in the country due to the outbreak of the COVID-19, pandemic.
