Bishop David Oyedepo of Living Faith Church has once again kicked against the continued closure of Churches in Nigeria due to coronavirus pandemic.
Days ago, the clergyman spoke against the closure of Churches while markets are allowed to operate after the Federal Government eased the lockdown period.
In the video below, Bishop Oyedepo stated that the doors to Churches are declared open and that anyone against it will die.
“The doors to churches across Nations are again declared opened this morning. Can I tell you this? Hunger is far more devastating than any virus that will ever visit the earth.
“It kills silently. There is no vaccine for hunger. There is no medical solution to hunger. Hunger has no treatment than to have food and Spiritual famine is far more devastating.
“That is what the devil is looking for but he has failed. The church is back on its feet. Anyone who hates to see that dies for it.
“The church of Christ on the earth is liberated. Spiritual famine shall not have its way.
“Can I tell the world, no one has the answer to a problem like Jesus”, he said

Misleading headlines--that is very unprofessional.
Please, let's stop giving these kinds of misleading 'headlines'. He was talking about the spiritual liberation of the church and you are here reading physical meaning into this. Please listen to the video before commenting and don't be swayed by this misleading headline.
You will die first! Greedy man! because of your love for money you want us (Christians) to die before our death time! There is a corona virus patient I know, will accept him in your house and live with him during his treatment?
This man is definately waiting for the virus to go, so he can start healing the sick. His offertories has been hit big time!!! Gyemiiii !!!!
This is very bad, coming from a supposed man of God. Lockdown is in the Bible, where everybody was ordered to be in their homes until the anger of the Lord had subsided. What Oyedepo doesn't realize is that covid 19 could be imposed on man, like him and other "men of God" among others, for his iniquities and evil ways. God has blocked their dubious ways of extorting from the vulnerable poor believers to enrich themselves in HIS name, and HE may be sending a message to them to rethink their doings before his true wrath descends on them. Was the MOST HIGH not the most high when HE allowed covid 19 to hit us? Was the OMNIPRESENT and OMNIPOTENT GOD not present and potent when the disease began to ravage us? Why can't this Bishop Oyedepo man understand this? His statements are criminal, and I wonder where he is and why the Nigerian Government has not picked him for questioning and apprepriate measures. His crime: Directly contravening the orders of the President. We have to be very careful with this disease because it is capable of wiping a very big chunk of us. Now, over 4 million of us are infected and a quarter of that number are dead. Even if you are a man of God and you think this is not the work of God but that of Satan, you still have a social responsibility to abide by the principles, rules and regulations that society has thoughtfully put in place to manage and defeat the menace. Let's be honest, you are a pastor, bishop or whatever and this covid 19 is giving you hell with "income", the same way it is doing to most of us. But this is not how people like men of God, and Bishop Oyedepo in particular who is very rich, should respond to the crisis. Granted, you are in hell, but honestly being prayerful and appealing to the public alone, as their man of God, will bring you many support than you expect, so why this hash stance? I feel disgusted by these utterances from the Bishop.
