Recently, it was Pastor David Elijah of the Glorious Mount of Possibility Church in Lagos who threatened to storm China where the virus is said to have originated from and destroy it.
His daring threat attracted a lot of mixed reactions with some people daring him to follow through the threat whiles others made a mockery of him, calling him a braggart.
This time around, Nigerian popular televangelist, Temitope Balogun Joshua, commonly referred to as T. B. Joshua, has revealed that the current rainfall in China will end the widespread occurrences of the infectious disease.
The founder and leader of the Synagogue Church Of All Nations (SCOAN) claimed that God spoke to him through a revelation and promised to wipe the Coronavirus epidemic with rain.
Speaking on his Facebook page, TB Joshua Ministries, the man of God further claimed that he pleaded with God to cause the rain to fall in Wuhan, China, the epicentre of the coronavirus.
“Since yesterday, when the Lord brought the revelation about the rain and that this rain will wipe away the epidemic coronavirus, I asked the Lord to make this happen in the place where the coronavirus started which is Wuhan, China. Right now, it is raining in Wuhan, China.
