General overseer of living faith chapel, Bishop Oyedepo has reacted to the order the federal government gave that markets should open but churches should not open. According to Bishop Oyedepo, the decision is not a wise one because churches are more organised than markets.

He added that churches only open for 2 hours but the government prefer to allow markets function for 7 hours.

He said  ” “There is something wrong.. For people to be allowed in the market for 6 hours and can’t be in church for 2 hours… its an upside down way of looking at things”

Oyedepo added that the government has forgotten that Christ is very important to tackle critical situations like this, adding that that the growth and expansion of the church is an headache for the devil.
