Nigerian Prophet, T.B. Joshua of The Synagogue Church Of All Nations (SCOAN) declared in his church service on Sunday, 17th August, 2014 that the killer disease, Ebola that is currently ravaging West Africa is from 'the pit of hell'.
According to Joshua, who led his congregation in prayer for the nations and individuals affected, time was up for the 'strange ailment' and life would soon return to normal for the affected countries.
"The so called strange ailment coming from three nations – Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia… satan is the manufacturer, the source," Joshua defiantly declared to the faithful.
"Begin to capture the covenant of that strange sickness," the cleric then enjoined the congregation.
"Command that strange ailment to come out and go to the pit of hell, in the name of Jesus Christ!"
"Because of Christ, people of Liberia, Sierra Leona, Guinea, you are released."
The controversial Pastor boldly declared that God had spoken to him to pray for the nations affected by Ebola as its reign of fear was close to closure.
"People are no longer their brother's keepers because of this strange disease," he lamented, adding that if someone publicly collapsed from any form of sickness, people would likely abandon the invalid as opposed to lending a helping hand.
"Once satan takes love out of people, he has taken life. Satan is not happy that we are one; he is against oneness. He knows when we are not one, we can be defeated," he said.
He added that the prayer Jesus offered for His followers' faith not to fail indicated that challenges would arise in the last days which would make many 'abandon their faith', Ebola being one of such challenge.
T.B. Joshua made headlines this week in local and international media for sending 4,000 bottles of 'Anointing Water' to the Ebola stricken nation of Sierra Leone on the request of the government, alongside $50,000 in humanitarian aid.
Last week, Joshua had to debunk a rumour attributed to him that went viral in Nigeria claiming that bathing in salt water would prevent the disease.
