The presiding bishop of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, David Oyedepo says he will lay bare hands on COVID-19 patients.
The controversial clergyman, who spoke during the the church’s covenant hour of prayer, said Christians do not know that they carry “eternal life.”
“You can imagine a medical doctor, going back there to minister to coronavirus patients (documented testimony). He found something, while others are scared by everything they can see,” he said.
“Can you imagine anyone bringing coronavirus patients to me and I won’t lay hands on him? Will I wear gloves to lay hands on them? I will lay hands on them; breathe into them; embrace them. What you carry is eternal life, it’s not human life. You should know that.”
“Someday, they will know that they have been deceived. They will all know that they have been grossly deceived,” he added
“You’ve covered your mouth: do you cover it when you want to eat or there is no coronavirus when you are eating? I just look at it and say, ‘what is all these?’”
Frankline Ndifor, a Cameroonian pastor, said to have laid hands on those infected with COVID-19 to “cure” them reportedly died of the virus weeks after.
