Founder of Christ Embassy, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome has come out to say that leaders who have not reopened their religious centres because of COVID-19 are not believers.
He recently revealed that any pastor who is still scared to reopen has obviously denied the faith.
According to him, nothing can explain pastors who shut their churches because they cannot guarantee the safety of their members, as it only shows that they do not believe in God.
His words, “If you refuse to open church for fear of being infected, you were never a believer.
“This is a great concern because there were churches that were thought to be churches until recently.
“We find a lot of ministers who were thought to be advocates of the gospel advocating for shutting down the churches because they cannot guarantee safety.
“It is pressure like this that reveals what is a church and what is not. Do they really believe in God, the same God of the patriarchs in the Bible?
“When you get to that point where you are afraid of opening churches for fear of being infected, you have denied the faith. You never believed.”

He added that these pastors never believed in the Lord they serve and the pandemic only confirmed what members and Nigerians did not know.
