COVID-19: 'If You Love Yourself, Stay At Home' - Pastor Adeboye

The General Overseer of Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, has advised Nigerians to adhere to the government's Stay-At-Home directive in order to defeat the dreaded Coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

Allnews reports that Adeboye issued this warning at the RCCG's Special Sunday Service this morning.

“There are categories of power," the 78-year-old said.

"There is political power. Ecclesiastes 8:4 says where the word of a king is, there is power. You put it in the modern language where the word of the President is, there is power.

“If you don’t believe that, just check what is happening now. The President sits in his house and makes a decree or pronouncement, everybody stay at home. And if you love yourself, stay at home.”
