A testimony provided by Faith Oyedepo, wife of the Living Faith Church Worldwide’s founder, has ignited a debate on social media.
Faith described on Tuesday how she witnessed blood streaming from her nearly four decades ago when pregnant with her first baby and then informed her husband she “had a miscarriage.”
David Oyedepo, she alleged, brazenly told her that “you can’t have a miscarriage” before demanding to be given his dinner.
Faith said her husband’s statement “activated the spirit of faith and the pregnancy was sustained.”
Her tweets were aimed at Christians; to ensure their faith in God is very strong if they desire to enjoy miracles on daily basis.
The testimony was, however, met with varying reactions on social media platforms, especially Twitter.
While some users argued with the fact of the testimony, others agreed with her ideology about faith in God.
A section of users also responded with sarcasm.
“Faith Oyedepo composed her tweet happily and tweeted. She is mesmerized by her husbands level of faith, she didn’t take his actions to be ignorance or wickedness,” a user wrote.
“The only mistake is, she thought twitter NG will see things the way she sees it.”
Another user added: “Let them drag away. That’s how we spread the word of faith.”
Here are some of the reactions below:
People dragging Mummy GO, bishop Oyedepo's wife because she said she had miscarriage scare and papa dismissed it by faith and asked for his food?
Please don't say she set herself up for drags. Let them drag away. That's how we spread the word of faith.

I sincerely hope he did a bit more than ask for food. I hope he asked how you are, and take you take a rest because bleeding is not normal for a pregnant woman. Whew. I hope this was some abridged version of a healthy response from a husband and father.

Reading peoples comments and reactions to this mind blowing testimony further reaffirmed to me why we need to all marry our kind. Not everyone understands this language called faith and Spirit.

Faith is the substance of things "hoped for" and the "evidence of things" not seen.
Papa was too assured by God that his wife cannot have a miscarriage because that is not the promise of God for them. Despite her bleeding, which naturally should breed fear; fear is the currency— Wondy 👀 (@Archiewonda) March 28, 2023
It's common sense that a pregnant woman should seek medical attention if she starts bleeding.
Faith advises that she prays it ends well.

It gets worse because of lack of comprehension. He was not around when she was bleeding, He came back and she told him the story. Then he replied in faith. And then the child was born.
The power of God cannot be known by mere men.— olaotan (@laotan_x) March 28, 2023
That’s y I said levels of faith varies

There's something called threatened miscarriage too tho.

the devil uses to get us into an agreement with his will. Papa being a spirit-filled man knew that if the devil sensed any iota of fear in him, then the pregnancy will be lost, so to sustain the pregnancy, he responds with bold faith, which energizes Mama and also sustains the 👶
