“The world is confused but the church is lighted. So the triumph of the church will humble the pride of the world…”
Founder and presiding bishop of Living Faith Church Worldwide, Bishop David Oyedepo has declared that he won’t take the COVID-19 vaccine saying it is ‘immoral’ to force the dose on people.
Nigeria, on March 5, commenced nationwide vaccination after receiving 3.9 million doses courtesy of COVAX, the global alliance against COVID-19.
The National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA) has also declared that as of April 16, about 1,081,548 doses of the vaccine have so far been administered across the country.
Oyedepo, however, while speaking on Saturday during his church’s Hour of Prayer service, said it is immoral to force people to take the vaccine.
He said the church has the answer to some of the challenges facing the world, while he added that his job is to expose the devil and its agents.
“I have never seen a generation where you force people to take vaccines. It is inhuman; it is immoral sir. I’m not a lawyer but I don’t think it is legal. You can’t come to my house and want to give me injection,” Oyedepo said.
“On what? Did I invite you? They are confused. But the church has the answer. Did you see any outbreak of virus here? How will it enter the gate? Will it come through the air? How? One woman just got down after that injection in Kaduna. What kind of life? Are human beings now turned to guinea pigs?
“The world is confused but the church is lighted. So the triumph of the church will humble the pride of the world. They don’t know what to do sir. In the last days, the church will be reigning in power and glory. That is God’s agenda.
“No apologies. There is a big, big bird in our land, saying “don’t take it, they are deceivers. Let me see someone who will come and inject me. By who? Are you going to tie my hands. How? Did I invite you? I know you are quiet, you will hear more of it. My job is to expose the devil and tell his agents “get off, we are not guinea pigs.”
The cleric has made some controversial claims and comments about the COVID-19 pandemic in the past.
