Finally, here's somegood news surrounding the coronavirus. Since our medical community is taking too long to find a solution to this coronavirus thing, Nigerian pastor David Elijah of the Glorious Mount of Possibility Church in Lagos has decided to take matter into his own hands and vowed during a recent sermon to travel to Wuhan, China, to "prophetically destroy" the virus at the root of the epidemic.
A video clip of the sermon has gone viral. Elijah says, "I am going to China to go and deal with coronavirus. I am going prophetically to destroy coronavirus.
Where there is a prophet people cannot die. I cannot be a prophet in this world and China is dying. It is not possible!" Bombastic statements like this one are not uncommon among African pastors.
Recently, one holy man claimed to know God's phone number, while another sold anointed pens that could allegedly help students pass exams.
