Prominent Nigerian Pastor TB Joshua led his congregation in prayer on Monday against the deadly coronavirus which has caused worldwide panic.

“I say again – it is the remnants we are seeing. The real coronavirus is gone… But what the coronavirus has caused, economic backlash, fear, will linger until the end of the year,” he revealed.

Joshua has described the corona situation as a “test of faith” which Jesus Christ hinted at in his prayer that Simon Peter’s faith would not fail, adding that he didn’t “see anything to panic about” as God’s promise for believers would be for them to overcome.

“Real faith thrives on a test. If there was nothing serious in the past to test our faith, here is something to test our faith in a unique way – a real situation,” he said.

The pastor added that now people are living in fear due to the virus that has left people not serving God with all their hearts.

“Fear exposes the level of our relationship with God… Fear means we are not serving God with all our hearts. The openin of the eyes of our faith will be the silencing of our fears,” he explained

TB Joshua has repeated again that corona virus will come to an end this month.
