Pastor Joseph Omolola

The DCC Superintendent of Christ Apostolic Church, Agbara Districts' Coordinating Council (DCC), Pastor Joseph Omolola has said that unless the church of God prays, Nigeria cannot be totally healed of coronavirus.


He said if the church wants coronavirus to go, it will go and if we want it around us it will remain.


The Cleric stated this in his message exclusively obtained by CAC NEWS titled "Unless the Church Prays."


Choosing his Bible text from 1 Kings 8:37-40 and 2 Chronicles 7:12-15, the Pastor Omolola noted that man’s efforts on research and devices to stop the spread of the virus have not worked, though we will continue to try and God will give us victory over corona virus as he did in the time past.



Pastor Omolola said in his full text that "the supremacy of God cannot be questioned by anybody. He knows the end from the beginning. The Bible calls Him the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending of all things. This pandemic has become a serious problem for the whole world. What I have discovered so far is that in a bid to solve the problem we are creating more problems for ourselves - The US government's threat to withhold funding the WHO is one of such. This time around you must be careful of the news you listen to and its analysis, because it will create fear in you."


"If you have given yourself to the reading of the Bible as I always advise, you would have gotten good news from God almighty. Man’s efforts on research and devices to stop the spread of the virus have not worked, though we will continue to try and God will give us victory over corona virus as he did in the time past. But the church has a role to play. Checking through God’s manual of life (Bible) and through all His programs for the world I discovered that unless the church prays, our land cannot be healed."



"Solomon in his prayer on the day he dedicated his temple, prophetically spoke of this era of corona virus. He knew it will come and pleaded on our behalf for God to please hear if we pray concerning it. (1 Kings 8:37-40).God answered Solomon’s prayer and promised to hear and to heal our land. (2 Chron 7:12-15) God is not a man that he should lie neither the son of man that he should repent, hath He said and shall He not do it? Or hath He spoken and shall He not make it good? Num 23:19.The ball is now in our court as Church. The condition is “IF” we pray”. God does nothing again in the world except the one committed to him by the Church. If the Church wants corona virus to go it will go, if we want it around us it will remain. Let us humble ourselves now, go on our knees, confess our sins and that of the government, plead for forgiveness. Humble our hearts, and pray to God. Ask for the mercy of God over us and our country. Ask God to take over, all our methods have failed. Ask God to take over the heart of all our leaders and that He should bring revival to our land. End your prayer with the name of Jesus. If you can genuinely do this, I am sure our victory over COVID-19 will be soonest. Nineveh did it and God saved them from looming destruction."
