Pastor Enoch Adeboye of the Redeemed Christian Church of God on Sunday said that the rampaging coronavirus will soon recede.

But he warned that the virus will not go away 100 per cent.

The reverred Minister who spoke during a virtual sermon streamed live from the RCCG headquarters urged government to learn from the viruses of the past such as the Spanish flu and Ebola.

“Flu came about 100 years ago. It receded. Ebola came, it receded. They have not died completely”, he said.

He acknowledged government efforts to deal with the pandemic.
But he also told officials not to forget to appreciate God for the successes recorded.

“We must give praise to God, so that our victory will be permanent”, the Mathematics lecturer turned pastor said.

Adeboye advised government to include religious leaders in committees fighting the pandemic.

And he quickly ruled himself out of those to be appointed. He described himself as ‘a small boy’.

He said the religious leaders will give a spiritual touch to the various efforts.

“It is not in our ability, wisdom that we are achieving the results we have seen. We must give glory to God, so that the victory will not be reversed.

During the sermon, Adeboye said the journey to normalcy has begun in Nigeria.

He said the journey to normalcy might not be very rapid or sudden, but that it would be gradual.

“Return journey to normalcy has started, I am believing that your pastors will soon return to their normal duties. Maybe at most, I will spend one more Sunday with you after which the pastors will be back to their duties in Jesus Name.

“The return journey to normalcy might not be very rapid or sudden, it might be gradual but it will be steady. I sincerely hope that when the battle is over, we will remember to give all the glory to God.

“We thank God for the government and the efforts they have made, I believe they have done creditably well,” he said.

The man of God warned Nigerians not to travel out in a hurry once normalcy had returned.

“Coronavirus will soon decline in Africa. I urge you to avoid traveling out of Nigeria for 2 months.

“We have entered the declining stage for coronavirus, let’s endeavour to maintain hygiene and stay home,” he said.
