The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, said the current global epidemic, the coronavirus, would soon subside stating that God had revealed to him earlier in the year that the world would embark on “compulsory holiday”.
He said this while delivering a televised sermon to congregation on Sunday. He stated that the “compulsory holiday” was one of the reasons he directed members of the church to embark on 50 days fasting in January.
The RCCG had last week directed members to adhere to government ban that religious, social or any other gathering that would involve more that 50 people should be suspended to forestall an outbreak of the virus.
Reacting to various prophesies about the virus, Adeboye said, “I have heard one prophet saying the coronavirus will soon die. And I said ‘amen’. You know prophets are greater than pastors. I heard another prophet say the world will experience rain for seven days and (it) will wash the plague away. I said ‘amen’. But I am speaking with you my children. The coronavirus will certainly subside after God has removed the plague but to say it will die, let me speak in local parlance, ‘na lie’.”
Adeboye urged Christians not to fret but to depend on God for protection in this trying time.
He said for those, who put their trust in God for their protection and provision, no plague is permitted to come near them.
“He that dwells in the secret place of the almighty must abide under the shadow of the almighty. The conditions is for you to ‘dwell’ and ‘abide’ so you can enjoy the scriptural blessings God has promised in this end time,” Adeboye said.
