Children are leaving schools for markets where there are more people – Bishop Oyedepo reacts to closure of schools over coronavirus

Children are leaving schools for markets where there are more people - Bishop Oyedepo reacts to closure of schools over coronavirus

Founder of Living Faith Church a.k.a Winners Chapel, Bishop David
Oyedepo has reacted to some state governors’ decision to close schools
due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Speaking at a fully-packed service at Canaanland Ota, despite a ban
on religious gatherings of more than 50 people in Ogun State due to
outbreak of Coronavirus, Oyedepo stated that the only disease that has
no cure is hunger.

He said;

“May God help our policy makers to make the right decision in finding solution to this scourge called Coronavirus.

“Now children are out of school, to go back to that crowd. Would they
not be more secured in school where they are only 20 in class? They
will now go to help their mama, to sell pepper in the market where you
contact about 500,000 people a day in big cities. Everybody is trying to
find solutions, may we find the right solution.

“May God help our leaders to make the right decision in search of solution to this pandemic.”

Oyedepo also disclosed that his church is working on programmes to
enable localised congregation instead of mass gatherings on service
days.

“What we are doing is to ensure that the plague doesn’t spread. This
has never happened in my lifetime that nations are shutting their doors
against each other.

“The world is at war with an invisible enemy and we must pray. Schools
are being shut down, people are entering buses where everyone is
breathing on everyone, every market in Africa is an open market. Can we
test everybody taking a bus? Only God can rescue the world at this time.

“We are a law abiding congregation and must follow measures being put in place to contain the spread.”

He told his members that the cure for the deadly virus will be out soon and nations shall rejoice again.

Oyedepo added;

“Only the help of God can save Nigeria and Africa in a while from this Pandemic.

“Plagues cannot stop us. Coronavirus cannot stop God’s children, but I assure you that the solution will be found this week.

“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.”

Following the criticism that trailed the fully-packed church
service, David Oyedepo’s Ministries International shared a memo in which
CAN instructed churches not to send back members who attend services
today.
