My Church Will Not Re-open Until COVID-19 Is Crushed -Chris Okotie

Leader of the Household of God Church, Chris Okotie, has said his church will not reopen until COVID-19 is defeated.

Recall that the Lagos State Government on Thursday lifted the ban on religious gatherings with mosques to return June 19 and churches, June 21.

The State Government also issued other guidelines towards the reopening of these worship centres which includes the compulsory use of face masks; restriction of people below the age of 15 and above 65 years from services, while gatherings should not exceed one hour.

However just like Prophet TB Joshua of Synagogue Church,  Okotie rejected the guidelines, saying the “fulfilment of the Bible prophecy” against the church is already being played out and that rearranging the church’s mode of worship is “to deny God the divine prerogative of congregational adoration”.

He likened coronavirus to be Dagon,  the god of the Philistines in the Bible which will be crushed down too.

He, however, said while his church awaits the defeat of the virus, its doors will remain closed until “these profanation and secularization have been pulverized by the Emperor of heaven.”

“Beloved, yesterday, the abomination of desolation took a giant step towards standing in the holy place. Fulfillment of bible prophecy is being accelerated by the forces of Janes and Jambres,” he said.

“To reorder temple worship is to deny God the divine prerogative of congregational adoration and the holy genuflects of the saints in light. Let no man’s heart be troubled by the vengeance of satanic antagonism.

“Dagon the god of the philistines fell in obeisance before the Ark of God. Coronavirus, the god of Secular Humanism will be decapitated in like manner.

“Our doors will remain closed until these profanation and secularization have been pulverized by the Emperor of heaven. Unto him shall the gathering of the people be. To thy tents O Israel.”
