The DCC Superintendent of Christ Apostolic Church, Oke-Ibukun Oke Ado Districts' Coordinating Council (DCC), Pastor G.S. Dada has said that though government, science and knowledge have failed us, we can still count on God for divine protection and healing of our land from coronavirus.



He said though our world is not witnessing peace at this time, the value of naira has gone down, including the health system, but we can trust God and we can keep His word.



Pastor Dada said this while ministering on the topic "God is in Control" on Sunday April 19, 2020 at the Sunday Service of the church which was live streamed on their official Facebook page (click on this link to watch the service https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=562373544405158&id=744635109059186).



He said God is still in control of the world and we need to have a strong belief in Him and complete faith that He's in absolute control of what is going on in our nation and the whole world.



While quoting 2nd Chronicles chapter 9 verse 11, Pastor Dada said everything on earth and in heaven belong to God and because of this we can count on Him.


"God is great and powerful. The glory belongs to Him. The Kingdom belongs to Him. He is to be exalted above Heavens. He is the Ultimate Ruler and He is in control. He created the world and sustains it by His power. Therefore, we need not be afraid of what is going on. We only need to take precautions and not to be afraid. What is happening right now shows that we are moving towards the climax and one day Jesus Christ will come back again to judge the world," the Cleric stated.


Pastor Dada stressed that we need to work in faith that irrespective of what happens around us, God will take care of us.



While commenting on why God allowed COVID-19, the Cleric said when God gave man the opportunity to choose, man made some bad decisions, adding that the bad decision we can make at a time like this is not take precautions of what government is asking us to do.
