COVID-19 is nothing! – Bishop Oyedepo declares

Presiding Bishop of the Living Faith Church Worldwide aka Winners’ Chapel, David Oyedepo, has said the devil is using the COVID19 pandemic to attack the church of Christ and that there is nothing in the novel Coronavirus.

Oyedepo who has consistently condemned the protocols put in place to contain the spread of COVID19, said this while delivering his new year’s eve sermon in his church in Ota, Ogun state.

“When the church goes against a man, his destiny is finished. When the church goes against a system, that system will crash.

Men and brethren, there is nothing in Covid-19. One of the governors was making some statements recently and said, ‘We have only had five cases since the noise began. So, where is Covid-19?

One governor was also quoted as saying, ‘I saw people at National Identification Card area, no distancing, no nothing and how much more the church of God where there is order’.

There is no Covid-19 in National Population Card Centre. There is no social distancing in the market. There is nowhere to wash hands or wash nose and even the officials who are in charge are also buying things there.

What I think they don’t know is that the church has changed level. When the church launches an attack against anyone or system, that system crashes. Thank God we have prevailed.”

Oyedepo’s comments come amid the second wave of the pandemic and the call for the closure of religious centres to curb the rising number of Covid infections recorded daily by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control of late.” he said.

In 1982, Oyedepo married Florence Abiola Akano (now known as Faith). They have four children together (David Jr, Isaac, Love and Joyce). David Oyedepo Jr and Isaac Oyedepo were ordained as Pastors in May 2007 by Kenneth Copeland. David Oyedepo Jr formerly pastored the London Branch of the Church with his wife, Kemi but is now the resident pastor of the Ministry’s headquarters church (Faith Tabernacle) while Isaac Oyedepo pastors Winners’ Chapel International, Maryland, in the United States of America with his wife Ayomitide.
