He added, “I believed that we have learnt lessons in the period of COVID-19 pandemic. God is using the pandemic to speak to mankind in a special way for man to repent and return totally to the Lord Jesus Christ.”
He enjoined Christians to remain focused to God, saying that the COVID-19 had come and nobody can stop it from spreading all over the world.
