In a video circulating online, Okafor was seen addressing his congregation from the pulpit, saying:

“What fought against you has turned to fight against me. Many of you have stood by you, fought for you, and fought battles on your behalf. What fought against you has turned to fight against me… I defend you to the extent that when there is something that can destroy you, I don’t let people hear it. I speak to you privately.”
