David Abioye, former vice-president of Living Faith Church, has recounted how his wife was diagnosed with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) in 2019.
The cleric shared the testimony during a recent Sunday service, with the video now widely circulated online.
Abioye revealed that the diagnosis occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic. He stated that when medical professionals informed him his wife Mary had tested positive for HIV, he immediately rejected the report.
The cleric said he declared, “no, not in this body,” citing a scriptural revelation that assured him the sickness had no place in her.
He added that he demanded a re-test. He said the results came back negative, and described it as “divine healing”.
Abioye urged believers to confront sickness with bold faith, saying healing isn’t for “gentlemen” but for those who fight it with spiritual courage.
“During COVID-19, they said my wife had HIV. I said, ‘No, not in this body,’ because I had scriptural revelations: ‘The prince of this world came to check me and found nothing.’ So I told them, ‘Go and do the check-up’,” he said.
“They ran the tests and couldn’t find anything. Healing is not for gentlemen; you don’t nurse sickness to leave, you fight it to go.”
Abioye retired as vice-president of Living Faith Church (Winners’ Chapel) in 2024, following the church’s new leadership policy that set a mandatory retirement age of 55 for senior leaders.
After his retirement, he founded Living Word Conquerors Global Assembly, also known as Conquerors Global Assembly.
