You will recall that at the cross~over service into Year 2020, the General Overseer said that the earth is going to behave like a child having convulsion. The General Overseer made it clear that though there would be series of battles in the Year, you will win. What is going on in the world today is a confirmation of this word of God but we have the assurance that as we pray, God will answer and grant us victories.
The statement however advised members not to panic as like every other similar crisis, the COVID-19 pandemic too shall soon pass.
