Pastor Enoch Adeboye.
The
General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, (RCCG), Enoch
Adeboye, has reiterated that the current COVID-19 outbreak will end soon.
He
made this known on Sunday while revealing that only those “whose time have
come” will be killed by the deadly virus.
According
to Premium Times, Adeboye, who addressed his congregation across the globe
via a live broadcast on Sunday, with the topic, ‘Peace, be still’, said only
those whose time had come would be fatalities in the current plague.
“There
is no reason to fear, only those whose time has come will go (die),” the former lecturer said inter alia.
He
also said: “If Jesus is in your boat, no matter the storm, it will never
sink. If he is in your marriage, it cannot sink. He hates loneliness,
barrenness so if your marriage is facing any of these storms, invite him and
remind Him of His promise.
“If
it’s your business going through a storm, God has promised you will spend your
days in prosperity and pleasure. Call Him into your business and he will turn
the tide. If it is your health, remind Him that He said I am the Lord that
healeth thee. The conclusion of the matter is, if He is not in your boat when
the storm comes, what happens? God knows those who are His and when the storm comes,
they will be exempted. It is only in the family of God that there is security
when trouble comes.”
Mr
Adeboye had last Sunday revealed how God told him earlier in the year that the
world would experience a ‘compulsory holiday’, hence his earlier call to church
members to undertake a 50-day fast in January.
“I
am also on a compulsory holiday. I was supposed to be in four nations this
April for ministers’ conferences and Holy Ghost services but now I cannot go.
All I do now is wake up in the morning, eat a good meal and enjoy the day. Is
that not a good thing,” he said
in his latest televised broadcast, Sunday.
He
also took a swipe at those “who criticised him for saying God knew about the
ongoing Coronavirus outbreak urging the congregation to “just pray for them”.
Reading
from Mark 4, 35-41, Luke 5, 1-7, Prov 1, 24-27, Psalms 35 v 27, Mr Adeboye said
the present siege over the world would soon be over after God intervenes and
lessons have been learnt by mankind that God is in control.
He
dismissed insinuations in some quarters that the present siege could be a
biological weapon released ‘in error’ by unnamed nations.
“So
don’t fear. Enjoy the compulsory holiday. I am enjoying mine. When God has
proven His point in both the big and small nations and He intervenes, the
plague will stop,” Mr Adeboye said.
“The
Bible says by His stripes, we are healed. Before he went on the Cross of
Calvary, Jesus took 39 stripes…that means Jesus ensured our healing from every
known disease and even took an extra stripe to take care of others that were
unknown including coronavirus,”
he also said.
The
church, like many others across the nation, has stopped physical services, and
resorted to online services in line with the directives of many governments to
halt mass gathering.
The
directives were given as a means of curbing the coronavirus which has shown no
sign of abating.
