Lagos and Ogun have been infected with the anti-church virus- Bishop Oyedepo

Following the decision of the Lagos and Ogun State governments to keep churches shut, the Presiding Bishop of the Living Faith Church International, aka Winners’ Chapel, Bishop David Oyedepo, has said the states have been infected with anti-church virus.

Oyedepo stated this while delivering a sermon on Sunday. According to him, it was ironic that while marketplaces remained open and people no longer observed social distancing or hygiene, the church was being suppressed because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

He added, “No hand-washing, nothing, everyone is in the market running over one another every day of the week and there is no outbreak from the market, but there is now outbreak, perceived outbreak from the church. Prophets are God’s voices to the nations. Caution!

“Now, freedom of worship is no longer a constitutional right, it’s now determined by some individuals. It is a hard thing to kick against the pricks. This is no longer coronavirus, at least in two states – Lagos and Ogun. It is now anti-church virus, clean and clear.”

Oyedepo said in the last one week, 10 people testified to have been healed of the disease. He argued that the church, which had the power to heal people, remained closed.

According to him, what was happening to the church could be likened to the experience of the children of Israel when they were in Egyptian bondage.

“Can anybody silence the church? No! I have never heard of anybody that God healed in the market, but people get healed in every church day and night, real, tangible healing. We have recorded 114 coronavirus healing testimonies. We got 10 this week. And that is the place that is vulnerable, not the market,” Oyedepo added.
