General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, on Sunday begged God to have mercy on the entire world over the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Adeboye, who spoke through a live broadcast by the DOVE Television, during the Sunday service monitored by our correspondent, advised all to continue to pray for God to quickly put an end to the pandemic.
He pleaded with God to heal the sick and comfort those in sorrow.
Despite the lockdown, which was also enforced in Nigeria, many continue to die daily as scientists across the globe battle against time to find a vaccine for the virus, which first emerged in Wuhan, China in December, 2019.
Since the lockdown in Nigeria, many church leaders, including Adeboye, whose church is headquartered in Ogun, have been holding online services with their members since public gatherings have equally been banned.
His words: “Today once again, Lord we are asking for mercy for all your children, for your church, for our nation and for the entire world.
“Please Lord have mercy on us all. Very, very quickly Lord, put an end to this Coronavirus. Let your healing power flow through your word to the entire world.
“Lay your mighty hand upon those who are sick. Please out of your mercy heal them all. All those who are in sorrow, father comfort them.”
