General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has sent a fresh message to Nigerians, emphasizing the need to remain indoors as a safety measure against the deadly Coronavirus.
The respected cleric gave the advice in a sermon during a broadcast of his Churches’ Sunday service.
Pastor Adeboye said citizens obeying guidelines put in place by the government was the best way the virus could be defeated.
He explained that even the bible has given political leaders power to make decrees for the betterment of citizens.
In his words; “There are categories of power. There is political power. Ecclesiastes 8:4 says where the word of a king is, there is power. You put it in the modern language, where the word of the President is, there is power.
“If you don’t believe that, just check what is happening now. The President sits in his house and makes a decree or pronouncement, everybody stays at home, and if you love yourself, stay at home,” he said.
So far, Nigeria has 1,182 confirmed cases of Coronavirus and 35 recorded deaths.
Also, 222 persons have recovered from the infection and have been discharged from the hospital.
