President of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Rev Samson Ayokunle, has asked state governments to reopen churches.

He said the continued lockdown order on the places of worship was no longer acceptable and justifiable.

A statement on Tuesday by his spokesman, Bayo Oladeji, said that despite the directive Presidential Task Force on COVID-19, states like Lagos and Ogun were yet to allow worship places reopen.

“What sin have the places of worship committed?”, CAN quipped.

The body recalled that when coronavirus broke out, it agreed with the government on the need to close down the places of worship, schools and others.

CAN said with the reopening of the economy, some markets, airports and schools, the closure of churches anywhere must end.

“Is it not our members in the places of worship that go to markets and other sectors? Is it that people cannot contract the virus in the markets and airports?”

CAN reminded the authorities that the Church too has a role to play by seeking for divine solutions as well.

The statement added that while the Christian leadership believes that COVID-19 deserves attention, state governments should not “turn a deaf ear to our quest”.

Can is in compromise

Eyaaaaa our great CAN is just waking up to smell a different coffee flavour.Bunch of undiscerning 'church' leaders,the ancient Pharisees will have done better,you put in your motives (mixed feelings of fear) above God's motive,ie faith, did you consult with the owner of church, Christ,to know whether or not you should comply with that 'close the church order' or not,you assumed amongst yourselves you were being compliant but how dies the gospel you are gambling with even reach you down in Africa, Nigeria? Was that how earlier father's of faith continued complying with government Ill policies,wasn't AA Alen,Dowen once arrested for preaching,healing(practicing medicine without license?) You all read the stories to your congregation n received clappings but won't practice what you used mic to shout all over the pulpit dramatizing.
Government, all over the world is never set up to please God nor please the church,from church history,government has always been church's antagonist.

Many reasons some churches wont want to be part of this kind of self seeking religious body

Follow trends of gospel explosions in south Africa,the u.s,Asia you will see a kind of holy disobedience to government continous taming of the church.
Pastor Rooney, organizing The Stand open air crusades aired on Faith Channels channel 80 on Gotv, without presence has been running this about a 40 days open air crusade and tell I g the whole world,the government, the Body of Christ,Believers not to giving to government's subtlety.Hear Boss Mustapha ,PTF on covid 19 threatening Christians with 'reckless confidence' statement ridiculing the Christians style of dependence on God.
Here in Nigeria Africa the world,as far has faith is at stake,every individual, work out your faith(salvation) with fear n tremblings,don't expect protection from any quarters save God and his Son through the holy spirit.
