Never question God in the midst of crisis - Pastor Adeboye on son’s death



Pastor Enoch Adeboye says the Covid19/Coronavirus pandemic is being used by God to stamp his authority on humanity.

Adeboye, who is the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God [RCCG], said this while delivering a sermon on Dove Television on Sunday.

The pastor said once God has proven his point, the disease would subside.

The cleric said,

You are on a compulsory holiday because my Daddy says He wants to show the world He is still the one in control. He wants to show those of us who think we are someone that heaven is still His throne and the whole earth is footstool. So, if you think you are big, He is going to compel you to sit down at home and not move at least for two weeks.

“The good news about that is this: As soon as he has achieved his purpose, as soon as He has proved to the whole world that He can shut down the whole earth if he wants, he will remove the plague. How long before that happens? I’m sorry I cannot tell you. But from the look of things, He is already achieving His purpose. If He stops the plague now, the world by now should know that there is someone called the Almighty.”

Adeboye said it could be easy to argue that Satan is behind the pandemic.

He, however, said the book of Job has proven that God, in fact, controls the devil.

The pastor added,

“But I know some of you will have some questions particularly those of you who are very intelligent. And you will say but if God wants to do this, must He use a plague? Don’t we believe that Satan is the author of sickness or disease? Oh Sure, he is. But who controls Satan?

“Read Job chapter two. Before Satan could put sickness on Job, he had to get permission from God. Those of you who have attended the School of Disciple have learnt long ago the question, why doesn’t God just wipe out Satan so that he will stop causing problem in the world?

“I told you then, he is keeping Satan alive because Satan can still be useful.”

Adeboye said coronavirus pandemic would subside but it would not end completely.

He said God could resurrect the disease when humanity steps out of line again.

The pastor added,

“It will subside. It will go into the background just like Ebola and other plagues. It will go into the background and hopefully, it will stay in the background if God does not need it again. But it will die? Let me say it local parlance: na lie. It has come and it has come to stay.

“The next time that the people of the world try to show the Almighty God that they are greater than Him, he knows what to do. But for you my children, relax, there is no problem for you.”

He admonished Christians to be more prayerful in these trying times, adding that only those who dwell in the shadow of God will be protected.
