Senior Pastor of Trinity Church, Ituah Ighodalo, has cautioned pastors against misinforming their members about the COVID-19 vaccines.
In an interview with Arise TV on Tuesday, April 5, the clergyman is quoted as saying,
“It is foolishness to keep having faith that God will protect you from an infection he has made provision for vaccines that can provide a high percentage of protection.
I have taken the jab. I prayed about it, and I got a clear direction from God to go and receive it, and I have explained to my people in church that God provides knowledge. I will like to appeal to my brother pastors to do their research, get the knowledge and stop misinforming and improperly educating people on guess work, instincts and mere suppositions. Coronavirus is real, and you need the vaccination.
The Bible says my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.”
He called on the government to compel the church and also the leaders to get qualified knowledge and answer important questions on COVID-19 vaccine.Some people think the COVID-19 vaccine is a deliberate effort to wipe out the human population. We need to address the fears and prove it is not so. Other persons think it is the sign of the anti-christ (666) and we need to prove this is not also true. Other people believe the vaccines have long term effect and if you take it today, in 20 years’ time, it would affect them. We also need to address such fears and prove scientifically this is not so,” he said.
The problem is a lot of these questions about the vaccine are not being properly addressed and there is too much rumour flying all over the place. Some churches believe in divine health but if they study further, they would also know that God provided knowledge for healing.”
