The Presiding Bishop, Living Faith Church Worldwide, David Oyedepo has reacted to the reopening of churches in Lagos and Ogun State, of Nigeria saying the devil has been put to shame. Oyedepo, in a sermon on Sunday, said God would make his members laugh in this month of August, saying that “the laughter has begun; the devil is tired, the devil is weary. By next Sunday (9th August), all the churches in Lagos are opened.

Living Faith Church started from the home of the founder.’ Everyone shared one toilet while he usually used his car, a Volkswagen beetle, to pick members at the Fuel Station and ferry them to his house for services. The Church did not start from a hotel as with many up-and-coming ministries today’, he once said in a sermon.
Oyedepo said he knew that there would be ‘victory,’ in any battle that involved God, and that the conclusion was already drawn. “What has changed? Nothing! But Jesus. The gang up of hell cannot prevail against it. What a joy that nothing has tampered with this joy. Shame on the devil. The revival fire is burning hot, hotter by the day! The bishop during the pandemic has drawn the ire of many by his utterances they consider as defiance against the lock down that also affected the church in Nigeria.
The ministry which has experienced astronomical growth in areas outside ministry has 20 secondary schools and over 150 primary and kindergarten schools. Thus, she is one of the biggest stakeholders in the Nigerian education system. For a ministry whose founder once sacrificed his only car, a 504 Peugeot for the good of the ministry having a bombardier jet now is a true testimony of what God can do.
Many parishioners also welcome the news and said they have missed not fellowshiping together.
