The founder of the Household of God Church, Pastor Chris Okotie, has said that COVID-19 is a grand plan to reduce the population of the world.
Okotie stated this in a 80-minute video posted on YouTube on Sunday.
The Lagos-based cleric accused the owner of Microsoft, Bill Gates, of leading a conspiracy to destabilize the global economy and carry out a “satanic ahenda” against the church.
Okotie said: “People have asked me if we’re dealing with the number 666; if this is about the antichrist. Is this about you taking that number and the eternal damnation that is the consequence of that?
“No. We’re dealing with another number that is the precursor to the number 666. There’s a man who is the protagonist of this whole process that we’re seeing today. His name is Bill Gates.
“The year 2020 was particularly chosen by Satan as the year when he would challenge the authority of the Almighty God upon the face of the earth in preparation for the coming of the antichrist.
“How is he going to do it? First, he’s going to get a man who has the pattern and that man is Bill Gates. And then, there will be a conspiracy to bring in a pandemic, sickness.”
