COVID-19 Will Roll Away Like The Stone At Tomb Of Jesus — Bishop Ibezim

Archbishop of the Province of the Niger, Anglican Communion, and Bishop of Awka Anglican Diocese, Right Reverend Alexander Chibuzor Ibezim, has said that the COVID-19 pandemic will be rolled away the same way the stone at the tomb of Jesus Christ at His resurrection was away.

Ibezim said the COVID-19 may be ravaging the entire world but anyone who believes in the resurrection power of Jesus Christ should not be afraid, rather he should be steadfast in his faith because the virus will be exterminated soon from the surface of the earth.

The Anglican Bishop who stated this in Awka also cautioned the general public against allegations on security agencies enforcing the stay at home order across the country.

He urged the people to do their part by obeying simple government directives before pointing accusing fingers on the law enforcement agencies. Archbishop Ibezim stressed that security agencies needed support and not accusations.

We need to be careful on allegations on the security agencies. I advise we do our own little part. At times we’re so fast to blame security men. But the duty they’re performing now is a very difficult one. Both security personnel and all of us must be committed to the cause,” he stressed.

The Awka Anglican Bishop also called on Christians to have faith in God in the midst of the ravaging coronavirus pandemic, saying it would soon be over.

Ibezim maintained that resurrection power of Jesus would terminate the scourge the same way it rolled away from the stone at the tomb of Jesus on the day of His resurrection.
