Christians Should Stop Exhibiting Reckless Confidence In The Face Of Pandemic

The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, has implored Christians to stop exhibiting reckless confidence in the face of the ravaging COVID-19 pandemic.

The SGF stated this at the Interdenominational Church Prayer Service, organised by the Nigeria Interreligious Council (NIREC) in Abuja on Sunday evening.

He emphasized that Nigerians must come to terms with the fact that the pandemic has come to stay.

The SGF called on Church leaders toenlighten their followers on the truth about the deadly virus and how they can stay safe in their families and communities.

Speaking about the stay-at-home directive by various governments, Mustapha who doubles as the Chairman of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19, said;

β€œIf you have no business going out, stay at home. It is scriptural and I will undertone this with a quotation from Proverbs 14:16 where the bible says the wise are cautious and avoid danger, fools plunge ahead with reckless confidence. I see a lot of Christians exhibiting reckless confidence and the Bible describes them as fools.

β€œStay at home, if you don’t have a business going out. That is the safest place you have. If you have every genuine reason to go out, as mandatory, wear a face mask.

β€œMy admonition to the church is that we must stop the exhibition of reckless confidence and tell our people the truth and ask them to do the proper things so that they can stay safe for their families, communities and the body of Christ.”

Mustapha explained that the national response by the federal government was meant to protect the people of Nigeria.
