RCCG General Overseer, Pastor Enoch Adeboye

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, on Sunday revealed that God had to him that it's only those whose time has come will die as the world and Nigeria battle the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.”

He said the siege of the present COVID-19 saga will soon be over.

According to the newest breakdown by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), Lagos State leads with 59 cases, followed by 16 in Abuja, Ogun – 3, Oyo – 7, Edo – 2, Bauchi – 2, Enugu – 2, Osun – 2 while Ekiti, Kaduna, Rivers and Benue states have one case of the infection each.

While one death has been recorded, a minimum of three patients has thus far been discharged after they fully recovered from the disease.

Pastor Adeboye, who addressed his congregation across the world via a live broadcast on Sunday on DOVE Television with the topic: ‘Peace, be still’

He said: 

"There is not any reason to fear, only those whose time has come will go (die)."

The previous lecturer said that only those in God's boat will escape the tribulation.

“Also, if he's in your boat, your boat can never sink. But if he's not in your boat, who are you able to call upon when trouble comes? it's only within the family of God that there's security when trouble comes,” he said.

“I am also on a compulsory holiday. i used to be alleged to be in four nations this April for ministers’ conferences and Holy Ghost services but now I cannot go. All I do now's awaken within the morning, eat an honest meal and luxuriate in the day. Is that not an honest thing.”

He also took a swipe at those who criticized him for saying God knew about the continued coronavirus outbreak urging the congregation to 'just pray for them'.

He went further to say that: 

“God wants to prove he's the one still In-charge. those that are saying that this thing has nothing to try to to with God proving himself, keep praying for them.

“Just keep it up praying for them. Because I remember saying to the almighty God, let there be people that won't believe that this has anything to try to to with you. If I tell them as was common they're going to mock.

“I told you before that, the planet are going to be on compulsory holiday because God wants to prove that he's still in-charge. Since that's already coming to pass as you'll see, then you ought to believe also that you simply should relax. i'm lecture those of you that are my children that no evil will come near you in the least .

“When I spoke to my daddy about my pain, concerning all people that are dying and people which will yet die, he assured me that only those whose time to die has come will die. So if your own appointed time hasn’t come relax and luxuriate in your holidays.

“The problem (COVID-19) will soon be over. As soon as God has proven himself, as soon as all the nations of the planet big and little has served this compulsory holidays the matter are going to be over”.
