In an Instagram post on Tuesday, he said the closing down of churches over the COVID-19 pandemic does not stop God from doing wonders.
Some news media had claimed his writing was a direct response to Oyedepo, who said the government allowed markets to operate but could not give same opportunity to churches. He asserted that the government’s action was a move to keep the churches shut, a decision he said was propagated by the ‘voice of darkness’.

Oyemade however said that his article was written days before Oyedepo’s comment.
“My attention has been drawn to articles going around some websites that an article I wrote on how one can remain effective during these times was written in response to Bishop Oyedepo’s statement on the closure of Churches.
“That assumption/inference is simply incorrect. Facts can easily be verified by checking time-lines. My article was written before Bishop Oyedepo spoke.

“I do understand that certain narratives drive traffic to websites and sowing seeds of division does attract attention.
I will like to make it clear and on record that my article was written 48hours before he spoke.

“In the article I did emphasise that criticising other ministries and churches operations is not a sign of strength on one’s part so the article contradicts the conclusions being inferred,” he wrote on Facebook.
