The Founder of Trinity House, Pastor Ituah Ighodalo, has made a U-turn over his claims of having a solution to the deadly Ebola virus. Ighodalo had in a post on his official Facebook page titled “Solution to Ebola,” stated that mere laying of hands on those afflicted with the incurable Ebola virus was all that was required to liberate them.
The cleric had claimed that he was drawing inspiration from the late Canadian-American Pentecostal pastor, John D. Lake, who, according to him, cured those infected by the virus during his lifetime.
But in statement to iPUNCH on Tuesday by his media aide, Ayodeji Jeremiah, the clergyman said he was only giving a “message of hope and faith” to those afflicted by the deadly virus.
According to him, his message of faith to Ebola disease victims was not meant to encourage people to act irresponsibly by ignoring medical advice and attention.
He added that while he and members of his congregation sympathise with those who have lost loved ones to the disease, his claims over the Ebola virus was to reinforce the belief that “with God all things are possible.”
He said, “The original story was a message of hope and faith reminding us of the ever living words of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and reaffirming our belief that ‘with God all things are possible’, using the (late) John Lake testimony and written to encourage us never to cease praying no matter what we or the world may be going through.
“In no way did the story suggest for people to act irresponsibly with regards to any medical emergency, including the Ebola virus. We sympathise with those who have lost loved ones to the disease and indeed most other diseases ravaging our world, including AIDs, cancer and malaria.
“Our prayer is that as the medical world continues to look for a solution to the disease, God will provide succour and encouragement to all the innocent people going through this trauma and do that, which only He can do.”
