Founder of the Living Word Conquerors Global Assembly, Bishop David Abioye has shared how his wife, Mary Abioye, was wrongly diagnosed with HIV during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Naija News reports that the clergyman during a church service said she was later confirmed negative after prayers and strong faith in divine healing.
He explained that the medical test initially showed that his wife was HIV positive.
However, he refused to accept the result, declaring through faith that such illness could not affect his household.
After further medical checks, the result showed she was completely free from the virus.
Bishop Abioye explained that his response came from unshakable confidence in God’s power to heal, saying that faith must be firm when faced with challenges.
He said the incident tested his belief but ended as a testimony of God’s healing power.
The cleric also taught that healing, according to the scriptures, requires boldness and authority rather than fear or negotiation.
He added that spiritual victory comes from resisting every form of sickness through faith and conviction.
He said: “During COVID, they said my wife had HIV. I said, ‘No, not in this body.’ I told them, ‘Do the check-up.’ They checked and couldn’t find anything there.
“Healing is not for gentlemen. You don’t negotiate sickness to go; you crush it to go. Some people are negotiating with bandits, and that’s why their problems persist.
“The prince of this world came to test me but found nothing.”
Bishop Abioye, who stepped down from Living Faith Church (Winners’ Chapel) in 2024, now leads Living Word Conquerors Global Assembly.
