Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Bishop David Oyedepo of the Living Faith Church, has said he won\u2019t take the COVID-19 vaccine.<\/p>\n

Oyedepo, who spoke during the church\u2019s Covenant Hour of Prayer programme, said he is not a guinea pig, hence would not take the vaccine.<\/p>\n

Stressing that the world was confused over COVID-19, the clergyman insisted that the church has the answer.<\/p>\n

According to Oyedepo: \u201cI have never seen a generation where you force people to take vaccines. It is inhuman; it is immoral sir. I\u2019m not a lawyer but I don\u2019t think it is legal. You can\u2019t come to my house and want to give me injections.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn 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?<\/p>\n

\u201cOne 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 triumphing.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, the triumph of the church will humble the pride of the world. They don\u2019t know what to do, sir. In the last days, the church will be reigning in power and glory. That is God\u2019s agenda.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo apologies. There is a big, big bird in our land, saying, \u2018don\u2019t take it, they are deceivers\u2019. Let me see someone who will come and inject me.<\/p>\n

\u201cAre 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, \u2018get off, we are not guinea pigs.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
