Awaiting The Second Coming Of Jesus Christ Ministry, Pastor Adewale Giwa has come out to speak for Nigerians over president Buhari broadcast on Sunday which he used to address Nigerians and placed a mandatory curfew on three states; Lagos, Ogun, and Abuja for 14 days to contain the widespread of COVID-19.
According to Dailypost, the cleric could not devise how people would cope with the compulsory lockdown on all three states mentioned above without a relief fund for the people. He described the decision made by the Federal Government of Nigeria as due to “lack of ideas”.

In a statement signed by Pastor Adewale Giwa and forwarded to Dailypost, he said;
“Declaring curfew without finding ways to make the people happy is therefore heartless, and I call on President Buhari to do everything in his power to help underprivileged people.
How do you want the people selling tomatoes and peppers in the markets to cope? When you hear people dying, they are drying because of hunger not because of Coronavirus disease.”
He also added that;
“Closing churches completely won’t stop this current challenges the world is facing.
We have some people known as “Prayer warriors” in all Pentecostal churches across Nigeria. I want to appeal to the government to allow them to intercede on behalf of others.
I am not good at praising myself or showing off to the people. I believe those who know me can tell people that I don’t depend on offerings or tithes to survive.
Offerings and tithes are not meant for pastors alone which I have preached in the past. The point is that there is no how you can have time to fight the devil at home by abandoning the house of God.
Apostle Paul said in the book of Romans 8:35-39 who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?
There are agents of the devil in the internet now that are working tirelessly to distract the people from serving God.
I want to tell you that if there are strong signs that Jesus Christ is coming today, some won’t still not believe.
Those who are destined to be hanged are not going to be drowned. We must fight this devil till Jesus Christ comes.
Those who nailed Jesus didn’t believe until he rose up on the third day. There are a lot of people out there quoting bible wrongly to justify their actions.
Closing the doors of churches across the state has a negative effect. We must rise up to defeat the devil.”
