The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has said that rather than die, the dreaded Coronavirus pandemic, also known as Covid-19, has come to stay.
However, he added that it would subside only after God is done with proving His point.
Adeboye spoke on the church’s TV station on Sunday, saying God had told him earlier in the year about an impending compulsory public holiday but he did not publicise it.

“When I told you to fast for 50 days, earlier this year, you didn’t argue with me, you obeyed even when we still fasted last November,” he said.
“Earlier this year, God told me that the world would be on a compulsory holiday. I didn’t know what that meant and I didn’t say it out so as not to inflict fear. Maybe people would have blamed me for saying such today.”
According to the cleric Covid-19 would only subside and not die.
“As soon as God is through proving His point, Coronavirus will subside. I didn’t say coronavirus will die. In fact, let me say it in the local parlance – ‘na lie’. Coronavirus will only subside. It has come to stay. But relax, you are going to be safe, ” Adeboye assured.
