Coronavirus: Don’t panic, draw closer to God ― Wale Oke  

The national deputy president of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria and presiding bishop of the Sword of the Spirit Ministries, Dr Francis Wale Oke, has implored that instead of being panicky over of the rampaging Coronavirus pandemic, Nigerians should move closer to God.

He urged people to adhere strictly to the prescribed rules of staying safe, and also avail themselves of the opportunity offered by this period to move closer to God.

In a release by his media office, the renowned cleric, on Wednesday, said: “Indeed, the signs are a pointer to the omnipotence of God and truly, we are in trying times. But this should be a message and a lesson to the world.

“There is no need to be panicky, rather, we should be closer to our Creator by feeding fat on His Words as our armour. Above everything, it’s more beneficial to our souls at the end of our sojourn here on earth.

“In addition, let’s all be cautious by following all the prescribed steps being reeled out by the government and other relevant stakeholders, aimed at curtailing the Coronavirus’ scourge. God will surely preserve His people for His own glory alone.”

While commending the government at all levels in Nigeria for the steps so far taken to combat the spread of the disease, Bishop Oke charged them not to relent until the scourge is totally subdued.

Meanwhile, the cleric has called on non-governmental agencies and corporate bodies to also join in creating awareness about the disease so as to keep the people at the grassroots informed.
