Founder of Living Word Conquerors Global Assembly, Bishop David Abioye, has revealed that his wife, Mary Abioye, was once diagnosed with HIV during the COVID-19 pandemic, but later tested negative after he declared his faith in divine healing.
The cleric made the disclosure during a recent sermon, recounting how his unwavering faith in God turned a frightening medical report into a testimony.
According to Bishop Abioye, doctors initially said his wife had tested positive for HIV. However, he immediately rejected the result, insisting that sickness had no place in his household.
“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,” he told his congregation.
He went on to stress that true healing, according to scripture, requires boldness rather than negotiation.
“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,” he added.
Bishop Abioye also recounted that the “prince of this world” — referring to Satan — attempted to test him during that period but found nothing, a testimony he said confirmed his divine protection.
After retiring from Living Faith Church (Winners’ Chapel) in 2024, Bishop Abioye now leads Living Word Conquerors Global Assembly, where he continues to preach faith, healing, and victory in Christ.
