How Apostle Joseph Ayo Babalola would have responded to coronavirus

By Aduralere Oluwagbohunmi


“Instead of bringing sick people to the churches, we are closing our churches as a result of sick people. What a contradiction?”


Today, majority of churches were closed down as a result of almighty Covid-19. Pastors, prophets and apostles were sacked from their divine offices and those who attempted to pray against the global pandemic in their various assemblies were treated as deviants by government officials.


I even watched a video of how policemen harassed and beat congregants that violated government policy that forbids large gathering and fellowship.


 In contrast, all hospitals were expected to be operational while millions of dollars have been released to scientists in order to find a cure for this global pandemic. Our hope in overcoming this virus is totally dependent on scientists. We seem to have forgotten that God is still a healer. As the world strives to overcome this deadly disease, we seem to forget God in the equation.


And to be sincere, those who sent both pastors and their congregants out of the churches are not to be blamed. If there is true healing in the church, it would have been the solution centre for this epidemic. No serious government can risk the lives of its citizens on churches and pastors that parades fake miracles and lives fake lives. A powerless church cannot be the solution to the challenges of the dying world. And rather than being the solution bearers many churches across the globe are burdens to their communities and humanity at large.


Indeed, the world is in dire need of solution bearers and what the world needs to overcome this deadly disease is anointed men of God who genuinely carry the healing anointing. Scientists can cure with efforts there is no doubt about that but God still heals effortlessly. We need God’s intervention more than vaccine.


As Corona Virus has claimed over 15,000 lives, Christians should pray that God should release his healing anointing upon men of God in our days so that we can witness the power of God like the days of AYO BABALOLA. There were more deadly diseases and demonic attacks in those days than Ebola and Corona but the healing anointing upon Babalola brought the devil and the diseases to their knees.


In one of Ayo Babalola testimonies that I wrote in my book, “Acts of power”, as he was conducting his apostolic revival at Oke Oye in Ilesha in 1930, thousands of sick people left their hospital beds to receive healing at Oke Oye.

“At Ilesha, when the revival started, the number of participants at Wesley Guild Hospital was 400 but few weeks into the revival, only 4 people were left in the Hospital. Their families came to take them to Oke-Ooye where God was healing people free of charge.” God of Babalola healed all of them. In fact One of Babalola’s dicsiples (Daniel Orekoya) raised 22 dead people back to life within two weeks of his revival.


Today, instead of bringing sick people to the church, we are closing the church as a result of sick people. What a contradiction? This was not the case in the days of our fathers.


Where is the God of Ayo Babalola that healed all kinds of sicknesses with water in 1930? My personal cry as I write this post  is that the Lord should  touch me with his healing anointing.


O Lord, we don’t just need anointing that make people fall; we want the one that can raise the dead.

O LORD, we don’t just need anointing that helps us build cathedrals; we want the one that can make us the solution bearers.

O LORD, we don’t just want an anointing that makes us prophesy; we want the one that will make us heal the sick like Ayo Babalola.

O LORD we don’t want our churches to be closed; we want it to become a solace and a refuge for all those that are suffering from satanic oppressions.

O LORD we don’t just want anointing that preaches about success and prosperity; we want the anointing that will showcase the church as the solution centre for global epidemic like Corona Virus.

O LORD send one angel to stop this evil Virus and heal all those who are struggling to get their lives back from this sickness. Amen.

If you can type men, Corona Virus will not come near you and your household in Jesus name.
