Some Christians Are Recklessly Confident in Face of COVID-19 ― Boss Mustapha

The Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Boss Mustapha has said that it is worrisome that some Christians exhibit reckless confidence in the face of the ravaging COVID-19 pandemic.

Mustapha, however, called on the leaders of the church to always teach their congregation the truth about the virus and how they can stay safe for their families and communities.

The SGF made this known at the Interdenominational Church Prayer Service, organised by the Nigerian Interreligious Council (NIREC).

Speaking about stay at the home directive, he said “if you have no business going out, stay at home, it is scriptural and I will undertone this with a quotation for Proverbs 14:16 where the bible says the Wise are cautious and avoid danger, fools plonks ahead with reckless confidence. And I see a lot of Christians exhibiting reckless confidence and the Bible describes them as fools.

“Stay 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.

“My admonition to the church is that we must 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 for the body of Christ.”

“It is not designed to afflict us. Every step we have taken as a Presidential task force has been intended to provide for the good and welfare of the citizens,” he added.

Mustapha said the national response that the government has put in place was intended to protect the people of Nigeria.

During his message, the Catholic Archbishop of Abuja, Most Reverend Ignatius Kaigama “as Christians, even in tough and challenging times we should know that God is in charge and then our thoughts. (cf. Is 55:9). 

“In the wake of disasters or grave danger, the tendency is to pray feverishly but as soon as it passes, we return to ground zero of prayer.

“Obviously, this is a classic case of panic spirituality, We must not run to God only when in the face of danger. God gives us 168 hours a week, 1440 minutes a day, How much time do we spend in conversation with Him? Yet we spend far more time watching television, speaking to friends on the phone or engaged in social media activities.

“Social distancing does not mean distance from God or to come to Him only when there is ‘fire on the mountain.’” Neither does it mean that we pray so much to God whom we cannot see, but neglect to do good to the neighbours we see.

“Social distancing does not mean being cold, insensitive, indifferent or antisocial towards others.”

Earlier, Executive Secretary NIREC, Reverend Cornelius Omonokhua, noted that the interdenominational prayers aligned with the duty of NIREC to support the efforts of the Federal Government.
