The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye has backed the decision by the Lagos State Government to keep the door worship centres locked indefinitely as part of efforts to curb the spread of the ravaging coronavirus disease.
Speaking during his virtual message at the July Holy Ghost Service, Adeboye said his church would abide by directive of the government if it would lead to greater achievements.
“If people know that this lockdown will lead to greater achievement and prosperity, they will embrace it with joy,” he said.
The clergyman said he was seeing the lockdown from a different perspective, stating that there are history of people who were on lockdown in the Bible who came out victorious and more prosperous.
He cited the examples of David and Joseph in the Bible who were locked down sometime in their lives.
The RCCG pastor noted that David was locked down in the cave of Adullam with over 400 men who were riffraffs but who later turned to be mighty men, while Joseph who was locked down in prison became the Prime Minister of Egypt.
Adeboye stressed that God might need to lock some people down to fulfill his purpose in their lives.
“God has been closer to someone more in this lockdown than ever,” he said, while urging his listeners to pray that the lockdown would lead to greater prosperity.
