God will help us

uche2020:
May God Almighty help us.
Come to think of it, what is the social distancing in the market?
The Bible says we should obey authorities but when it comes to our worship to God, we need to obey God rather than man.
The world solution for COVID-19 is on our bended knees.

When had business centers became a Church of God? A true Church of God will not disobey the authority in place.......

"Today, Sunday 21 June 2020, the Akwa Ibom State Government and Christian Association of Nigeria ( CAN) Monitoring Team, while on a routine compliance/inspection visit to the Christ Embassy Church, Nung Akpa Ime branch, State House of Assembly Road, off Nsikak Eduok Avenue to enforce the Akwa Ibom State government/Nigerian Centre for Disease Control (NCDC)/World Health Organisation (WHO)/Christian Association( CAN) Guidelines and Protocols adopted to prevent community spreading of the dreaded COVID-19 pandemic in Akwa Ibom State, were obstructed, attacked and brutalized by the Pastors and some members of the church."

"In response to this act of lawlessness by that church and in order to avoid the risk of community transmission of COVID-19 in Akwa Ibom State, the Christ Embassy Church building and premises are hereby sealed up with immediate effect till further notice."

farem:

Your understanding has been corroded by these two things;tithes and offerings. Even when they are reporting the fight between a couple, tithes and offerings will suddenly crop up from your medulla.

Was the Pastor fighting to save souls or to keep tithe and offerings comming?

The church is a place of healing.. they observe the rules better... yet you people seems to disregard it.. Go to the market place you will see how they disregard social distance..

Govt should wake up

johnmartus:
This pastor should be send to the prison.

are they also treating the muslims and mosques like this?

Fallout of the heretical and false teaching of their leader on the matter. Peter is very clear in the Bible that it does not glorify God for a Christian to be caught on the wrong side of the law! This is not persecution but prosecution of offenders. Not salutary!

BlowYourMind:
[s][/s]Will you shut up? that is how you will be misquoting the Bible to support your fetish claims. Give what is Caesar's back to Caesar, the inscription of Caesar is on the money you are spending, give it back to Caesar as tax.

Please prayerfully read and meditate on this:-
“ Romans 13 ►
New International Version
Submission to Governing Authorities

“1Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. 2Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. 3For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and you will be commended. 4For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God’s servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. 5Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also as a matter of conscience.

6This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God’s servants, who give their full time to governing. 7Give to everyone what you owe them: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.

Love Fulfills the Law

8Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law. 9The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not covet,” a and whatever other command there may be, are summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” b 10Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

The Day Is Near

11And do this, understanding the present time: The hour has already come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. 12The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. 13Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy. 14Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the flesh.”

Is it because it's Pastor Chris?
Let's hear first from the Church also.
Were the taskforce members matured in their manner of approach?
The story is one-sided for now.

Going through a lot of comments here it's amazing the kind of stupid comments coming from those who called themselves Christians. They go to church yet their understanding of scriptures is very low. Imagine if the church of Christ was handed over to your care.That would have been the end of it. One even said, give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar(wrongly applied). The church of Christ has become Caesar' property? What bible do you read and where are you from? You want to lock the church of Christ because of coronavirus? Is the bible history book to you? If the comments I read so far where from unbelievers , I wouldn't have bothered . Have you not read the book of Ezra and the acts of the apostles or you think you were just reading a story book? Others are foolishly laying causes on pastors, yet they called themselves Christians. Must you impose your high level of unbelief in others ? If you want to stay in your house , remain indoor but don't disturb others. There's no true church of Christ that can be shutdown because of your coronavirus. It is a healing place. If you don't believe in the power of Christ over infirmities, remain indoor

Pastor Chris never believed there's Covid 19, so I don't blame his pastors/members

Staro:

The Bible enjoined us all to "give unto Ceaser what belongs to Ceaser".
In short, Obey the earthly government ! I don't know why Christ Embassy
continue to go against the law.

Hello you won't know why they go against the law... Because you don't know whats in the bible.... Some people just CENTRE on one verse in the bible and forget that there are happenings in the bible that beats what u interpret a verse as...If the Bible says you should obey the government rulings then you should ask ursef both good and evil.... Read ur Bible even Jesus was seen touching and praying for people who were with leprosy.... Even when it was against the law....
Anything that will hinder ur faith all in the name of law is bound to be questioned.....

Mind u am nt a CHRIST EMBASSY member... We all deserve to knw truths abt certain things rather than go abt castigating..... PEACE

The government should step up but at market square n churches.

They are lying. No one stopped them.
They were just looking for excuses.

Nonsense. The taskforce should go for enforcement in the market place and leave the Church alone.

Your response doesn't make sense.

Sometimes i keep wondering how some men became PASTORS because in the BIBLE it is written that JESUS CHRIST COMMANDED his followers to OBEY THE LAW OF LAND.So why are some PASTOR going against the of law of GOD and the GOVERNMENT.

Always say what you're sure of show us the image where they brutalize people, mark those who are wise that devil must do everything to prevent the spread of the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ ,government will allow other activities to be carried on daily bases but the corona only become effective during Sunday. Devil must not prevail.

You see yourself?

Does the Covid 19 know which one is essential and non essential services?

Which of the so called safety protocols are you strictly observing... Do you really know who is giving to the instructions you are following?

I'm far ahead and more informed than you on the intricacies of this issue.

You had to expose yourself on your hate for the church.

Please go and relax... No need for much talk.

IT ALL LIES, I WAS THERE NOTHING OF SUCH WRITTEN EVER HAPPEN.
