CORONAVIRUS IS DUE TO THE SIN AND DISOBEDIENCE OF HUMANS- CAN PRESIDENT

Rev Samson Ayokunle, President of the Christian Association of Nigeria, on Sunday said the Coronavirus outbreak can be blamed on the arrogance of humans against God and disobedience of constituted authority.

He said this in a sermon, titled “Looking unto Jesus: I Shall Fear no Evil,” which was delivered on Sunday, March 22, and transmitted on New Frontier TV.

Quoting the Bible verse, Numbers 21: 4-9, Ayokunle said the coronavirus pandemic emphasized the need for mankind to repent from sinfulness.

He said, “As in the case of the children of Israel in this passage, the arrogance of man against God and lawfully constituted authority led to God’s anger and judgment over the people.

“People say anything today against God and against the word of God. The Holy Scriptures injunctions, which are God’s commands, no longer matter before us. We query the validity of the word of God and equally deliberately act against it. All practices that would make us worship God we reject or abandon under the guise of fundamental human rights.

“In some advanced nations, anything about God must not be mentioned in any public event neither can people worship God nor share the gospel with their neighbours. Doing so is an offence. This pride and arrogance against God came because of advancement in technology. We feel we can do many things without God and thus become ‘god’ to ourselves. Technological advancement should make us to reference God the more because he is the revealer of knowledge.”

The CAN President also pointed out that violence has become a daily occurrence in Nigeria.

He said, “Beginning from the wickedness of armed robbers to religious terrorists, such as Al Qaida, Al Shabab, Boko Haram, ISIS, etc; we equally have the violence of banditry and Fulani herdsmen attacks everywhere in the nation.

“People are slaughtered or kidnapped to be slaughtered or for ransom. Time will not permit me to talk about the wickedness of ritual killing for money making and fraudulent practices all over our world especially in our nation, Nigeria. People, including believers walk about half naked like insane people and even dress like that to houses of worship to pollute many. Promiscuity is everywhere. We have sinned against God and He has sent to our midst a fiery serpent!”

Ayokunle, using the Israelites of old as a reference, said those who are godly need not fear any pandemic, reminding them of how God used the blood of the lamb to protect His people in Goshen when the angels of destruction were killing the firstborn of the Egyptians.
