Bishop David Oyedepo, founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide
The presiding Bishop of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, Bishop David Oyedepo has reacted to the reopening of churches across the country, saying “we serve a prayer answering God.”
The bishop has maintained that churches remained a solution centre to all human crises.
“Twenty one states as at last night, if I’m correct, twenty one states of the nation are open to worship.
“The other ones have no choice; they should just know that they have no choice,” the cleric said at the Church’s Covenant Hour of Prayer on Saturday, covened virtually.
He added that God had already answered the prayers of the saints against the Coronavirus, and that the signs are showing globally.
“Yesterday, the American president, Donald Trump, declared places of worship open across the United States.
“That is how God has been humiliating this noisome pestilence; watch out, very shortly,every part of the world would be totally free,” he said.
Bishop Oyedepo also predicted that the “fear of this noisome pestilence would be gone into oblivion.”
He prayed that “Nigeria is free from the torture and torment of the Coronavirus virus and the fear of it.”
Recall that Nigeria’s Presidential Task Force on Covid-19, had warned against reopening of places of worship, adding that it would be very much around for some time, hence, the need to take precautionary measures.
