Against the directive if the government banning all gatherings, Bishop David Oyedepo, the General Overseer of Living Faith Church, also known as Winners Chapel on Sunday held service at Canaanland, Ota, Ogun state.
Oyedepo, who has been silent since the outbreak of COVID-19 in Nigeria, said the virus cannot stop God’s children.
According to him, “Only the help of God can save Nigeria and Africa in a while from this Pandemic.”
He, however, assured his members that the cure of the deadly virus will be out this week and nations shall rejoice again.
Oyedepo said: “Plagues cannot stop us. Coronavirus cannot stop God’s children, but I assure you that the solution will be found this week.
“Only the help of God can save us , our markets are open so there is no way to curb this but only God can save Africa from this pandemic
“We are a law-abiding people and pray for this to be over but we will manage this till the end.
“Strategies are being developed on how to manage this in respect to our worship programs. We will come up with specific programs during the week that will be communicated to everyone.
“Our Zonal positions may have to be enlarged to accommodate a lot of people.”
Meanwhile, three new cases of coronavirus were confirmed early on Sunday morning by Nigerian Center for Disease Control, bringing total cases to 25.
