Notable cleric and founder of the Living Faith Church Worldwide (a.k.a Winners Chapel), Bishop David Oyedepo, has said that irrespective of the efforts of the devil and his agents around the globe to weaken or shut down the Church through the COVID-19 pandemic, the Church will eventually prevail and remain strong.
He added that the strength of the church lies in Zion and cannot be threatened by any force, urging his followers and Christians at large to remain focused in winning and nurturing more souls as well as populating the kingdom of God.
Oyedepo made this known at the popular “Covenant Hour of Prayer” programme, on Thursday, noting that the devil tried to use COVID-19 to break the strength of the Church, but against all odds, the Church did not succumb to the threat, instead, it came out stronger and that almost every nation is open now.
“There is no way the nations can be shut down for life. Give Jesus thanks. We have a continuing responsibility to see the souls God has given us preserved, to see them secured, see their destiny restored. Give Him thanks.
“I must tell you this that the purpose of the devil for the threat of COVID-19 is to break the strength of the Church, because the strength of the Church lies in Zion. They go from strength to strength, everyone that appears in Zion, the Church before God – Psalm 84:7,” he added.
