An American-based preacher, prophet and General Overseer of Royal Place Ministries International, Bishop Blessing Samuel, has given the assurance that there is hope in the seemingly hopeless situation over the ravaging Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

He asserted that what the world is going through is a trying time though difficult to bear for everyone all over the world, stating that faith rather than fear should be the watchword.

Bishop Samuel assured that there is hope in the hopeless situation even as many might be wondering whether the world is coming to an end, stating that the answer is No, adding: “This is just a trying time. Coronavirus is not just a virus, it is a demon trying to kill our faith and also close churches but God will fight for His people. This viral virus will soon disappear the same way it came.”

The cleric advised though that it is good for everyone to be aware of how it spread, they should take preventive measures and that though even “doctors and scientists may be confuse, but God is not confuse, help is on the way.”

Said he: “I believe strongly that the demon has been destroyed and solutions shall be found quicker than the doctors anticipated.

“Stay safe and be prayerful, having faith in God to see us through. I encourage all Nigerians, religious bodies and everyone in the world not to ignore the laws and instructions of the government. Also to join hands in the mission to rescue the nation system from collapsing.

“Avoid large gathering for now, it is not fear. It is called wisdom,” Bishop Samuel added.
