By our reporter| As the world reaches the 3 million COVID-19 death toll milestone, the presiding bishop of Living Faith Church Worldwide, David Oyedepo, has said he will not take the vaccine being hailed by science as the panacea for the pandemic.
Oyedepo who made his decision public during his church’s Hour of Prayer service on Saturday, described the attempt to force people take the vaccine as immoral.
According to him, the church has the answer to some of the challenges facing the world, insisting that his job is to expose the devil and its agents.
The cleric said, “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.”
“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 federal government on March 5 commenced vaccination of Nigerians Nigeria after receiving 3.9 million doses courtesy of COVAX, the global alliance against COVID-19.
According to the National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA), 1,081,548 doses of the vaccine have so far been administered across the country as at April 14, 2021.
