Senior pastor of the Household of God Church International Ministries, Reverend Chris Okotie, has accused Microsoft founder, Bill Gates, of playing a sinister role in the speared of COVID-19.
In a video published to YouTube on Sunday, the 62-year old said the US billionaire is leading a global conspiracy to destabilise the world economy and execute a satanic agenda against the church.
He claimed that the COVID-19 pandemic is a bizarre project conceived by the tech guru, in association with some powerful elements in the multilateral institutions and supported by key leaders of governments around the world, to achieve sinister objectives.
Okotie listed these objectives to include a systematic reduction of the world population through COVID-19 deaths, enforcement of a global lockdown to ruin the economies of nations and impoverish the people and frustrate true worship of God.
To back up this grave allegation, the cleric quoted diverse scriptures, saying the billionaire figures in Satan’s end-time assault on the church.
The pastor posited that the vaccine being developed to check the spread of COVID-19 is a red herring meant to disguise the real sinister intentions of the purported antidotes for the pandemic, which he said, could ultimately cause death on a mass scale.
Fellow pastor, Chris Oyakhilome, had earlier linked the spread of COVID-19 to the deployment of 5G network.
Oyakhilome, who is the founder of Loveworld Ministries International, better known as Christ Embassy, he argues that proponents of a ‘new world order’ created the coronavirus to cause fear among people and are putting together a vaccine to control people’s lives.
He added that the protests that followed the killing of George Floyd by the police in Minneapolis, Minnesota were not about black lives but a ploy to implant microchips on Americans and other people of the world in order to control them.
Okotie and Oyakhilome have also kicked against the against the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) proposed social distancing guidelines for churches for agreeing to the closure of churches as part of measures to check the spread of coronavirus.
Both men at different occasions described social distancing as a requirement for reopening of churches as an assault on congregational worship.
