The Bishop revealed that he had stopped his Pastors from praying for his wife and instead told them to pray for the needs of people coming to the church's annual programme tagged "Shiloh" and for the success of the program as that was where her healing was. He said:

"During the time of the challenge on my wife’s health, we were in a prayer meeting preparing for Shiloh and the Pastor said, "Let’s pray for Mama’s health, for speedy recovery."

I said: Stop that. People are coming for Shiloh with diverse needs. That’s what to pray. Stop that. I don’t have a second wife. Stop that.

In doing this is where her healing is: Oh Lord, heal every sick soul that is coming to Shiloh this coming week. Turn their lives around.

Genuinely so: see her today.

It is all left to you."

Bishop David Oyedepo is indeed a man of faith. His beloved wife is still standing very strong today. Glory to God.
