Pastor Chris Oyakhilome has slammed pastors for accepting the closure of Churches which was done as a result of the lockdown order brought about by coronavirus pandemic.
According to Oyakhilome, pastors should have told the government to allow them to pray for coronavirus patients instead of just accepting the closure of Churches first.
“In different cities, countries, states, before the government went ahead with the lockdown, they held meetings with pastors, leaders of churches. Why did the pastors and leaders not say give us a few days to go and pray? Because they were not prayerful before.
“As a Minister of God, you were called for such a meeting and you couldn’t say give us a few days to call other Ministers and say this is what we just heard from the government authorities and we need to pray. We have asked them to give us three days. Then you would have seen the hand of God,” he said.
He also stated that the pastor who told their members to stay away from Churches don’t really know the Lord Jesus Christ.
“They were not thinking about the father’s house when they made the decision. Do you know what it is for you to shut down the congregations of the lord? It never meant anything to you, that is why.
“Even the pastors and Ministers are warning others not to enter the church because of coronavirus. This is because Christ has never truly being your lord and you have been the master of your life. You have never truely known him,” Oyakhilome added.
