The National Superintendent of Kingsway International Christian Centre (KICC), Pastor Femi Faseru has called on church leaders to appeal to the government to recede their action and open the church as the church is not a dangerous place but a place of comfort, healing and refuge for the troubled.

Faseru said this at a National Broadcast recently at the KICC National Headquarters, Maryland, Lagos, said that the church is not a dangerous place, but a place of power and refuge for the downtrodden, sick, despondent and a place where God still answer prayers, except that which we preach we don’t believe.

He said “If we believe that which will preach as God’s servants, the church is supposed to be a place of power and a place where we build the faith of people against coronavirus.

The place where wisdom will flow and someone will be inspired to come up with a vaccine that will help to defeat the hydra headed Coronavirus.

According to him, the church remains a place where God himself can raise champions that will help the government to defeat the Goliath that we are faced with. That is what the church is.

He continued: “the church is not a place where will desert in the day of trouble. A church is a place to come to in the days of trouble.

The church is a place where we all come together and cry with one voice and God’s will, as he has promised will hear us”.

He noted that there is a reason where Jesus told his disciples to hang on at the upper room. There is reason because the bible says one will chase a thousand and another will chase 10, 000 to flight. There is a reason where we come together in one place where we praise and pray to God together.

Faseru said “God want to hear our cry together in unity and in unison. The government should give us the opportunity to work in our calling and be responsible to the position we have been given to by God as God’s servants in this society.

He opined that the church is on lock down but the gospel of Jesus cannot be on lock down. There is a difference.

That we are able to preach the gospel is no reason for the continued lock down of the church. What about discipleship, iron sharpens iron, accountability, adding that there is much more we do in church than preaching and collecting tithe and offering.

He asked who lock the church down when the markets are opened, public buses are working and offices are open and every opportunity or avenue for Internally Generated Revenue for the government are opened, who lock the church down?.

He continued: “What is spiritual justification for the church to be on lock down. That God cannot heal the diseases anymore, while are we comfortable”?

He reminded the church leaders that their ministry is a calling and not a career. We are called to build, pull down, plant, uproot.

Are you fulfilling your calling. The bus driver, bankers are fulfilling their calling and government is trying to fulfill their calling.

He said that for the sake of the elect and those who are supposed to occupy these pews, we have responsibility to nurture, develop, grow and reform the people so they can fulfill destiny.
