\u201cI am calling upon church leaders to go to the hills seeking\nforgiveness from God on behalf of the nation. We can raise an alter anywhere\nand seek the face of God in this trying moments. When the new infections will\nend, our places of worship will be re-opened again, \u201csaid Bishop Khamala.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The MP is who the founder of Cornerstone Gospel Ministries\nsaid Covid19 was a demonic attack to the nation and it cannot be fought with\nsoap and water but by invoking the power of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe devil knows that when we go to the church to pray, the virus will go away. As church leaders we won’t beg the government to reopen churches but we should embrace prayers to defeat the devil. This time round church leaders are being ridiculed and laughed at. If we are true prophets, why can\u2019t we pray for the virus to go,\u201d said Bishop Khamala.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He added: \u201cWe do not wrestle against flesh and blood but against rulers of darkness.(Ephesians 6:12). Let us put on the full armor of God and stand our ground with the belt of truth buckled around our waists as well as the breastplate of righteousness and declare an end to more infections,\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n He said if\nthe church will not wake up to the calling and pray, the government will\ncontinue discriminating against the church on grounds that the places of\nworship are prone to the spread of the deadly virus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe\ngovernment has allowed Matatus and buses and supermarkets to operate as well as\nat least 15 people to attend burial ceremonies but the churches have been\nclosed. This is the devil at work and must be stopped,\u201d said Bishop Khamala.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Quoting Genesis\n13:4 where Abram built an alter for God at Bethel, the MP said that was the\nmeeting point between Abraham and God whenever he wanted divine intervention,\nsaying the church should the same to avert the current crisis in Kenya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to the lawmaker, coronavirus will break and make\nthe church depending on how pastors and bishops will handle the issue, adding\nthat the flock should not get weary, as God cannot test his people beyond their\nreach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Khamala said prayers\nwill also enable doctors and scientist get the vaccine that can treat the virus\nand bring to an end the calamity that has collapsed world economies leading to\njobs cuts and deaths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cJesus Christ took up our pain and bore our suffering when\nhe was hanged on the cross at Calvery.He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities;\nthe punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.\n(Isaiah 53:5). We shall overcome,\u201d said Khamala.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He said\nItaly was hard hit by the Covid-19 pandemic since it was prophesized (Jeremiah\n7:32), saying this should make people realise that Covid-19 is a demonic force\nthat has disguised itself as a virus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ends<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Kakamega By Andrew Ombuni Church leaders across the country have been urged to embrace prayer and fasting as a way of combating the spread of coronavirus disease.
