His words:

"I'm often asked by some of my friends on the other side of the aisle about COVID … and why does it seem like folks in Mississippi and maybe in the Mid-South are a little less scared, shall we say.
“When you believe in eternal life – when you believe that living on this earth is but a blip on the screen, then you don’t have to be so scared of things.
“God also tells us to take necessary precautions. And we all have opportunities and abilities to do that and we should all do that. I encourage everyone to do so.”

Meanwhile, the senior pastor of Trinity House, Ituah Ighodalo, had sent a message to some Nigerian Christian clerics who had refused to take the COVID-19 vaccine and are preaching to their congregations to follow suit.

Ighodalo admonished that what such religious leaders should understand was that God had provided a solution and remedy for the deadly pandemic, which was the vaccine.

The pastor, therefore, noted that it would be foolishness on the part of anyone who preaches that taking the jab is an act of unbelief in the supreme and miraculous power of the Almighty.
