Charleys:


Easter is precious to christians. Wike will feel bad if he didn't relax the lockdown.

It's left for christians to decide if they need the celebration or not.
Will Christians die if they don't go to church to celebrate Easter?

Covid-19:
Saudi Arabia cancels 2020 Hajj.
Israel cancels 2020 pilgrimage.
Vatican shut down.

Nigerian Governors open Mosques and Churches for Jummah and Easter Celebrations.

Can Nigerians be more Christain than the Pope and more Muslim than the chief Imam of Grand Mosque in Mecca?

Coronavirus will not go on holiday tomorrow and on Sunday and resume work on Tuesday 14th April.
Some of our State Governors are having a dangerous laugh. I hope it doesn’t end in tears.���

When a Nigeria governor is speaking with so much passion and sounding like an activist, just know it is not about the people, if it is not politics, ego or show off, then it must be about money.
Believe them and be fooled.
These people have none of our interest at heart. Akeredolu of Ondo and Masari of Kastina....also took decisions similar to tout sounding Wike.
Governors are more Covid 19 than Bubu sef.

The Church should have faith not fear

The Church is not a place where people come and get sick, the Church is a place where people come and get healing. Shutting the Church can never be the answer

I expect the Church leaders to have prayer such that even if someone with Corona virus comes to church, the person would be instantly healed and not infect others. It saddens me that the Church leaders are rather advocating closure of the Church. It saddens me that even the politicians have more faith and appreciate the power of God more than these church leaders

The politicians are now the ones telling Christians they can go to Church whereas the church leaders want the church to remain closed. Too bad

If someone who is sick comes to church, the person should receive healing not infect others

If u re sick go to the hospital the church will only intercede for ur quick recovery
The politician re not directing Christian,gathering together doesn't mean u re serving God in truth and spirit u need to know diz

Governor Wike is not a Catholic and doesn't understand the doctrine, otherwise he could not have said that Christians should go and celebrate Easter on Easter Sunday.

In the Catholic church, there's Triduum, which starts on Holy Thursday. There is washing of feet of 12 representing the disciples and the last supper.

On Friday, there's stations of the Cross and passion of Christ.

On Saturday, there's is Mass in the night, which is the eve of Easter. This is when we start to use the word Hallelujah. Throughout Lent no mention of Hallelujah. On this Easter Saturday there are 9 Bible readings and Baptism.

After missing the Triduum, going to church on Easter Sunday only is not important. The most important thing is for the Lord to heal the world of this PLAGUE called coronavirus.
People have been following Mass on TV.

Spirit of fear has so enveloped the body of CHRIST that even after giving d opportunity to go out, they are still scared
Even though not one person has it in their state, this is quite unfortunate. angry ; grin reminds me when the body of Christ we're praying for Peter's release, when he came to knock they thought they had seen a ghost.. av all of u Christian's not engage in minimum one day of fasting and prayer for Corona to go? We're u praying into storage? Or u don't believe it is done?(luke1:45)
I.curse that Spirit of Fear from its roots in the name of JESUS CHRIST amen

The church is not a hospital, that is why God gave us doctors. If u are sick you go to the hospital. Dont get it twisted.

The best way to go about this pandemic that has ravaged our world is to help save lives by trying to contain it in every possible way wch include this isolation and if u re infected go to where u will be properly taking care of not coming to d church....

They are all equally dangerous. Human contact of any sort brings you close to asymptomatic carriers. Best to stay at home.

My dears some of you in this forum take every statement about Rivers State so far, castigating the Governor as if Some of you would do better than him, my church for instance observed the Good Friday service yesterday but with appropriate social distancing, and every worshiper was compelled to wash his/her hands appropriately and the sanitizers applied on their hands by the ushers before being allowed entrance into the church...and we have been worshipping though with multiple services of 50 persons, and God have been protecting his Children. Tomorrow we will still adopt that same measure not Minding the relaxation of the lockdown. The Hatred from some of you against Rivers State is too much, and for your information, we are aware and ready for you people, you guys should know that Wike would come and go but Rivers State Still Remains.

U must be a member of one of this new generational churches I believed.
If truly you are a Christian that reads his Bible I believe you should be familiar with the trial between Satan and Jesus when Jesus was asked by satan to jump from a high mountain believing that the angels of God will protect him from being hurt. Do you know what was Jesus reply? in case you don't know his reply was "DO NOT PUT THE LORD YOUR GOD TO THE TEST"
Also when king herod was planing to kill the child Jesus what happened? God sent his Angel to inform Joseph (the foster father of Jesus) to take the child in the night and run to Egypt.
Now let me ask you this: do you think Jesus can not jump from from the top of the mountain and and still go unhurt as the Satan demanded? Or you think God doesn't have a way of stopping king herod from harming the child Jesus that he asked Joseph to take him away in the night to Egypt.
God is alive and active, but that doesn't mean you should be careless. Do you a single idea of how many priests that lost their lives already at the cause of this pandemic? Or are you in anyway telling me that all the people who lost their lives as a result of this deadly virus are all faithless people?
Please, don't just talk because you heard others talking. Talk because you you will make a lot of sense. Shalom!!!!!!

The church is not a building but the people. The earlier Christians understand this the better. The Vatican remains the world's recognized seat of Christianity and is on lockdown, given the state of the country. Will you in your infinite wisdom say they lack faith? Continue being holier that the pope until humans start dropping like flies on the street here, then we will be serious. Go and study past pandemics in history, it knew no race, sex or religion. Educate yourself then comment again. God is everywhere and not just in the church, pray at home with your families. Thanks to technology, you are already using a Bible app, screens for conventions at different locations, so why can't you attend service from home by tuning in to the channels available on TV? Must you gather people in thousands before prayers will be heard? The Catholic Church attracts multitudes on normal days, how much more during festivities. Same God gave us wisdom in form of science and technology to solve problems, add common sense to that and we will be okay

You should be pitied. Obviously you are still are confused on good conducts expected of any living being, not even Christian alone. Who told you Rev Fathers are not celebrating mass everyday? If you have faith you should know the efficacy of such prayers, not only when there's congregation that God answers prayers. And I believe you are a Christian, so how come you're not going around healing those infected with Corona virus, after all this is what you are mandated to do do in the scripture?
