Bishop David
Oyedepo, the General Overseer of Living Faith Church, has declared that “human
contact has come to stay” amid the coronavirus outbreak.
He suggested that
the devil was using coronavirus to cause fear and stop human activities.
The Christian leader
said this in a Facebook video on Monday.
Oyedepo prayed to
God to help the world overcome what he described as a “plague”.
The cleric is being
criticised for holding Sunday’s Church Service which had hundreds of people in
attendance despite government warning.
But he has advised
Nigerians to “Let go of fear. Everyone is a victim of whatever they fear”.
“What you don’t
want, you don’t watch; what we don’t resist has a right to remain and what you
don’t confront you cannot conquer” Oyedepo stated.
“The disease is
wrecking the economy of our various nations. You can’t fly into nations. No
deal that can be sealed without human contact. Businesses will go down the
drain, transactions will cease.
“It is real…but
human contact has come to stay. I know that efforts are being made here and
there, but it must not get to a point we allow the devil holds the world to
ransom.
“There are many
terminal diseases and by coordinated efforts there were brought under arrest.
This one will go the same as other went.
“God will not allow
this plaque be the end of the human race. This plaque ceases right now as we
join prayers. It’s time to talk to God for help.
Oyedepo, however,
commended the efforts of the federal and state governments on curbing the
deadly disease.
“We must look to God
for bailout. There is no irreversible case with God, all we need to do is to
take responsibility, he added.
Coronavirus,
declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organisation (WHO), has killed
15,000 people and affected 190 countries.
