The General Overseer of Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has said Coronavirus (COVID-19) would have consumed Nigerians, if not for God’s mercy on the nation.
Adeboye spoke yesterday on Dove Television monitored by our correspondent during the first Sunday service in November with the theme: Better Days Ahead.
The popular cleric noted that compared to what happened in developed countries, it was obvious that God has been merciful to Nigeria.
He advised Nigerians to continue to pray for God’s mercy and protection as the world is fighting hard to overcome the pandemic. Adeboye said Nigeria should not take God’s mercy for granted, adding that in all things, Nigerians should give God the glory.
“When Coronavirus (COVID-19) broke at the beginning of the year, all advanced countries said, ‘Oh God, when this thing comes to Africa, they will be dying like chickens.’ They said it. It is not that they thought it.”
“Why did they say so? It’s because they know we do not have any resource to handle what was coming. They saw what was happening to them. They were dying by the thousands with all their expertise, all their wealth.”
