President of the Christ Apostolic Mission Church (CAMC), Pastor Adesoji Ajayi has said that if the world does not return to God, there would be another concern after COVID-19.<\/p>\n

Ajayi gave this warning in his office in Lagos during a press conference where he fielded questions from journalists.<\/p>\n

Ajayi who said the pandemic is a punishment from God has led the CAMC for the past 20 years after receiving the mantle of leadership from the founder of the mission.<\/p>\n

Addressing journalists, he said, the whole world has deviated from God and must return to the maker of the universe or expect another thing after COVID-19.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we look at COVID-19, my view of the issue differs from the majority of pastors. You would ask why. You would say it originated from Wuan, but man generally is far from God, he has deviated from God,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Stating further the septuagenarian said, \u201cI see it as a punishment and we are still far away from God.\u201d<\/p>\n

The cleric also revealed that many claiming to know God are liars as half of the world population knows nothing about God.<\/p>\n

\u201cAbout 50 percent of humanity would think they know God.\u00a0 They don\u2019t know God at all. 50 percent are atheists and 45 percent would think they know God and worship Him. Even among Christians, we pretend to be serving God but we are not.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou would ask a man what brings people to God? Our Lord Jesus Christ fed 5,000 persons, then the following day they rushed down again. His disciples said, Master, these people were here yesterday, they are here again. He said don\u2019t mind them. They are here because of what they got yesterday.<\/p>

\u201c45 percent of humanity thinks they serve God, it is only five percent that worship God, even within the five percent framework, there are still the doubting Thomases. The most difficult thing in life is to know God except your mind is open. No one can know God except his mind is opened.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo when you see a very large crowd, just don\u2019t see it as a crowd of those who know God. They are those who need babies, jobs, and the rest of them. You will find them and you will think they know God. You will find God in very small denominations. I\u2019m sorry to say this because those who are looking for miracles will think they can\u2019t find miracles in small places,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Continuing, the President of the CAMC said many so called ministers of the gospel are not recognised by God. \u201cMany of us who call ourselves men of God are men of the devil, some must have gone to one baba and get something to use. We have never solicited for fund from anybody. It is a very big offence to dupe people in the name of God,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He however submitted that the COVID-19 pandemic came as a result of the drifting away of the world from God.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo on COVID-19 like I said, we did enquire and the Lord said the whole world has deviated from Him and even China where it started from is inhabited by people who don\u2019t recognise God, but that is not what we are saying,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Ajayi however ended on a warning note that man must return to God or expect another thing apart from the pandemic.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Lord is still waiting for man to come back, man has deviated from the ways of God. In the UK, you will find churches without people. It is the old people who are waiting for death that you find in churches. You can\u2019t find young people there.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo for COVID-19, not until we go back to God because even if it ends today, we should still be expecting something else, except we return to the Lord,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
