Omicron: Pastor Adeboye Sends Important Message To African Countries

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, on Thursday, encouraged African countries not to give up in praying to God over the dreaded COVID-19 pandemic and its new variant, Omicron.

Naija News reports that the renowned clergyman gave the advisory while taking a swipe at developed nations for predicting scores of death in the black nation following the emergence of the killer virus.

Adeboye who spoke during his church’s annual Holy Ghost Congress programme tagged ‘The Siege Is Over’, said the developed countries have depended on their resources, technologies and all while Africa who it had looked down on have a God to pray to for help.

The General Overseer stressed that the church must pray for the siege over Nigeria to be over and not carry placards on the streets protesting.

Speaking further on the West, Adeboye said though Africa might not have the technology and health infrastructure like developed nations, the black continent has God.

Naija News understands that many countries including the United Kingdom, the United States, and European nations have been greeted with the pandemic and have in regards slammed travel restrictions on African countries, a move that has been widely criticised as discriminatory.

Statistics have revealed that the new variant of the pandemic has spread to over 50 countries including Nigeria.

“The highly developed nations of the world believe that they have all the technologies, that they have all the resources, that they can take care of themselves and many of them have forgotten God and then an enemy shows up, an enemy that they cannot see; an enemy that before you know it, it has attacked you and you are already in trouble,” said Pastor Adeboye in his Thursday night sermon.

The respected cleric added: “And they looked at Africa, we have no resources, we have no money, the few doctors we have, have left for greener pastures and they predicted that we will be dying like chickens but they left out one parameter: parameter God, they left out that there is still a group of people, who in their helpless estate, still lift up their eyes to the hills (and) say, ‘God help us’.

“I hear they are talking now, ‘We don’t even know what is going on in Africa?’ They should know. There are still some people who can cry to God, who can say, ‘God help us!’”
