Jesus reached out and touched lepers that were considered "unclean" by the Jews, the woman with the issue of blood who's not supposed to be seen outside her home summoned courage to touch the Master (That Jesus wasn't angry about her action show's that her healing is well deserved.). That faith has a voice, love has a touch were the blessed words of a beloved preacher. Christians are God's out-stretched arm to an ailing world that's why we show compassion to minister to the sick. We MUST reach out. It's not enough to pray at home, hoping that everything will be alright.

The truth is simple, Nigeria don't have any real COVID-19 patient, so if they allow you in to pray for them,you will see their secret that's why they won't let you in. Other countries that have real cases, if they won't let the minister enter the ward they will at least let the minister pray for the medical personal at the corridors of the ward inside the hospital and stretch their hands towards the ward were the patients are.

Some of you are just ignorant. Are u in the medical field?
Why should they allow an healthy person into a clinic that contain people with infectious disease.

Even in developed countries, family members are not allow to see each other, husband is not allowed to see wife , mother not allowed to see child, some people even died with getting any visit from family members. That is how bad it is.

If you want to pray for them, pray for them outside, or home, pray on the materials you bought as a point of contact. This is where intercessory prayer is key

And for those saying it is all fake.You think the govt would just shut down its activities based on false information without thorough investigation. How much are the donations or funds compared to the amount the govt is loosing per day because of inactivity. "Think".

petra1:

You're right there are different principles for different cases. In such a case as the centurion servant someone has to be in the gap.. The centurion faith stood in the gap . It's like the case of a woman with a baby . The baby may not have faith. But the faith of the mother can suffice.

But the case of covid here . There has to be a connection with the people.

xyzindustreet:

Yes he prayed on the water before presentation. But we know that its the officials and staffs belle the water may end up in. His aim might have not been accomplished.
At least Petra1 made an effort to go there and not just “THINK” like you. #Stop the criticism and learn to start appreciating efforts#

Kenny4lyfe:


In as much as it is true that our government are dishing out reports of "audio covid-19 cases". let's not rule out the prevalent deaths amidst the political elites lately as well as the "mysterious death" that's ravaging some part of northern Nigeria. Covid-19 is out there. Figures might be over exaggerated though.

kingxsamz:


Nothing is being exaggerated...
Number of people who are infected are definitely a lot higher than the number of confirmed cases.

Kobojunkie:

BullPiss! Babies have their own faith. Can be used to explain why it is near impossible to keep the baby in when it is ready to come out? And in the case the mother dies, there is still a window within which the baby can still be rescued from the womb, alive.

No need to invent different principles where there are none.

Kenny4lyfe:

That's no faith, babies clearly act on instincts (not the spiritual senses). .

Kenny4lyfe:

The infant's will alone does not make delivery successful, there are other factors involved that the baby cannot control. Infants are helpless.

He knew who Jesus was and he had faith for his servant..... Remember Petra1 wrote he wasn’t given access to the facility so how do u expect them to know and have faith if they couldn’t come in contact with him or do u think the walls of the facility is made of glass?

petra1:


I wore the mask . All I would expect is that they recommend I wear the hazmat suit . Patapata I pay for it. Or wear gloves . After all of there are patients there someone is giving them food and and water

What kind of prayers were you trying to offer that you coudnt offer from the gate or your apartment? Didn't the bible tell us that God is a spirit? Or are you a god that wants to touch COVID-19 patient? What exactly is wrong with Africans.. I mean this is 2020!
.

petra1:


the thread is for christians. its a chrisian thing to pray for the sick. some of us have been going for hospital ministrations right from teenage years and we have seen God healing the sick

I lose hope in this entity called Nigeria whenever I read some people's opinions in cases like this.
Are you saying that you haven't heard of what happened in other countries where pastors and imams had insisted on praying for covid patients and ended up as career's, spread the diseases, or even died of covid19 after contacting the virus while praying for the patients?
From South Korea to United States to Iran even over there at port Harcourt, Rivers state.?(please do well to Google it)

Are you pretending to be daft or naturally daft?

Do you know the kind of problem you are trying to put the whole city into by trying to go into the isolation rooms? Trained health workers go in with full PPE and some still end up beign infected, this is a disease where dying patients get to talk to their loved ones from video calls, and here you are trying to commit intentional suicide by going into an isolation room.

For those who are claiming its an audio virus, keep it up, until God forbid, someone you know gets infected.

xyzindustreet:

Not being exaggerated?......lie
Even if u have headache now the Government hospital would say it’s a Covid19 case

. So you think what makes me an umbeliever is because I try to reason common sense into your religious mind

Commonsense99:


Bishop Gerald O. Glenn, of New deliverance evangelistic Church in United States had defied instructions to go in and pray for COVID-19 patient's, today he is of blessed memory...yes, he died of same covid19 and is buried(Google it) .

Pastor of shincheonji Church in Korea had defied social distancing to hold prayers for covid19 patient. #31, eventually Korea cases exploded from his church, such that they accused him of mass murder, he was sued, and excaped death by hanging by whiskers.. Korea is still suffering from his misbehavior at the moment(Google it) .

So you think what makes me an unbeliever is because I try to reason common sense Into your religious blinded mind huh?
By the way am replying you because am a frontliner, who owes the society the obligation to enlighten them on the dangers of this disease.

Stay blessed.

HedwigesMaduro:


It wasn't the sick person that had faith. It was the centurion.

Kobojunkie:

What do you think faith is?

That instinct to exit through the birth canal is what has driven many a successful births in both humans and animals for thousands of years.

petra1:

I said earlier that it's not true that Christian's are afraid of praying for covid cases . But the issue is access

I also went to a covid -19 hospital to pray for the "sick " but from the gate the security asked for my mission I told them, they made calls and said it's not allowed.

I almost left but I went back to ask for opportunity again . They called another official who asked if I'm going to lay hands on them , I said yes if I'm allowed. He said I can't be allowed in . I asked what if i go in and just stretch my hand to pray for each one without touching. They made calls again And said it's not allowed. They said I should pray at the gate . I could not argue much because it's a military environment

Finally I told them I came with packs of bottled water and asked to give them as contribution, they declined at first but later asked me to open the boot , I did they too pictures and asked if it's a prayer water I said "NO " but I can pray over it in the packs of water in their presence. That was what I eventually did .

As I said before . It's not about the church going to pray but it's about permission by government. If you know a convid centre that will allow prayer for the sick I will still appreciate.

kingxsamz:

Have you gone for test and it came out positive?
Did any of your friends and Family go for test and they came out positive?

petra1:

The scripture doesn't support that ideology. If it's so there's no need to preach to anyone . Since all would have faith in God by birth. Faith comes by hearing
Romans 10:17
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God
Romans 10:14
How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

Romans 12:3, KJV: "For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith."

Kenny4lyfe:

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:13

What is successful child birth? What about the health status (physical, emotional and psychological) of the mother? The environment in which the delivery is to take place? Ask mothers around you. A successfull Child birth is not determined by the infant's instinct to exit the birth canal.

Kobojunkie:




Even animals express faith to a significant extent than men do.
