Amidst the Coronavirus lockdown and stay-home order, the founder of Loveworld Ministries a.k.a Christ Embassy Pastor Chris has issued a stern warning to FG and the Nigerian forces against arresting a clergy.
Pastor Chris said this after a report of Pastors being arrested by government officials in a bid to enforce social distancing in churches filled the air. The clergy likened this situation to the same of the Biblical apostles who were ordered by the government not to preach the word of God.
According to him, he didn’t judge the officials who arrested a Pastor as he does not know if it is the directive of the Holy Spirit but he is certain that anyone who assaults a Pastor is in trouble simply because they are not ordinary people.
Pastor Chris then went further in a video where he was seen talking to other pastor, to urge Christians to pray got their pastors at this dire time, that God should glorify them all around the world.
“He was excited he arrested a Pastor. Terrible! But he is not the first to arrest a pastor. Jesus was arrested and Jesus was doing what the people didn’t want Him to do and the Apostles did what they were not allowed to do. The Government said, ‘Don’t preach in this name anymore’. They went on preaching. Right?! They arrested them. So it is not enough to say, well, if you do what the Government say not to do, then we have the power to arrest you. Arrest! That Pastor was not the first person to do what Government said don’t do.““When I heard of it, I didn’t judge him because what if he was praying and that was the guidance he got? Let me tell you, it is not everyone that will take some of the steps that we might take. Not everyone. The Holy Spirit knows exactly how He wants things done. It’s up to Him. What I’m always saying is that, anybody who assaults a pastor is in danger. He is in more trouble than the Pastor. Pastors are not ordinary people. If you like you can call them ordinary men, that is up to you, but the Spirit that works with them, when that Spirit is fighting you, nobody can help you. No amount of prayer, no one can help you.

Others when they know, they remove their hands, He is a pastor. They shift away, but the one that is a Christian is bold, he enters the church. So, if you are a pastor and they assault you. Don’t feel bad, you are not the first, don’t feel bad. But, for the rest pray for your pastors, remember to pray for them. Never condemn a pastor. Never. Don’t ever do it. Don’t do it. Don’t join those who do it. Don’t! Keep your mouth to yourself“, he said.
