William Kumuyi, the General Superintendent of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry, has said the COVID-19 disease is a real disease, disclosing that one of his pastors was healed of the disease after over an hour of praying with him.
Kumuyi revealed this while answering questions from journalists at a press briefing on Tuesday to mark the commencement of the church’s six-day global crusade, tagged: “The Great Miracle Explosion.”
According to the renowned cleric, the pandemic does not have any political undertone or is “politically arranged” as insinuated in some quarters.
He recounted the difficulties faced by one of the church’s pastors, saying the individual almost died of the disease.
He, however, noted that the pastor got healed at the isolation centre an hour after he (Kumuyi) prayed with him via phone.
He said “Concerning COVID-19, I want to say that from my observations, from looking at things, I know that COVID-19 is real; it is not fake, it is not a politically arranged thing to do whatever. It’s real.
“We’ve had people who had real COVID-19 situations and they were in isolation. In fact, one of our men, one of our pastors was about to pass away. According to him, he had said his last prayer because in that isolation he had seen other people dying, just going like that.
“I knew about it and I called him on the phone and prayed with him. Within, I would say, one hour, he was completely healed. He went to the toilet, got up by himself, came by himself and the Lord brought him back to life.”
The pandemic, Pastor Kumuyi said, is real, but insisted that God has a solution to every problem.
The preacher said COVID-19 would not surprise those who knew their Bible well, saying Jesus Christ had foretold that there would be pestilence (pandemic) in the last days
