“A Christian can contact Covid-19” Prophet T.B Joshua issues strong warning

Prophet Temitope Balogun, simply known as T.B Joshua of the Synagogue Church of All Nations, has issued a strong warning to Christians against the belief that they cannot contact the infectious Covid-19 pandemic.

TB Joshua gave the warning while responding to a question on whether a real Christian can catch COVID-19, on Facebook live question and answer session.

Some clergymen, such Primate Elijah Ayodele had once said that none of his church members will contract the virus.

But the COVID-19 pandemic has shown that it doesn’t respect any region, religion, social status or age.

Asked if Christians are not exempted, the cleric said, “Capital YES! Christians, do not make the mistake of thinking that you are ‘out of touch’. God often uses ‘anything’ to preserve us and to strengthen our desire and determination for God. Whatever your situation as a believer, it is all for your obedience to God (Hebrews 5:8).

“A Christian can contact COVID-19; it is just like any other affliction. A Christian can be sick in body and yet be a friend of God or a candidate of Heaven. Don’t let your situation mislead you and cause you to start doubting your Guard. That should be the reason to look deeper, pray the more and dream of other ways you might have ignored.

“Do not measure your Christian life by your situation. The rich should not concentrate on their pain or riches and the poor should not concentrate on their pain or poverty because a man may be afflicted or poor and yet be a candidate of Heaven. As a Christian, what you see as COVID-19 or affliction—God may sometimes allow it as a trial.

“Oftentimes, we run from the very things that will bring strength to our lives, such as trials, affliction of any kind, all of which are meant for our spiritual benefit. They are to test your maturity. A true Christian is tested by his ability to face situations and deal with difficulties.

“Take note: As a Christian, if you contact COVID-19, don’t begin to misjudge yourself by worrying, ‘Am I really a Christian? Why me of all this? Why me of all that?’ As a Christian, you are not out of touch. Don’t worry about whatever people say.

“If truly you are a Christian, God wants you to pray the more and know what He wants you to know because what we see as a disadvantage in our lives can be turned into an advantage. God is still saying something!
