Rev Chris Okotie has rejected the guidelines issued by the Lagos State government for the reopening of worship centres.
In a statement released in Lagos on Friday, the Pastor of the Household of God Church, Oregun, Lagos, described the guidelines as “abomination of desolation.”
Rev Okotie, who stressed that government could not reorder worship in the house of God, said that “Our doors will remain closed until these profanation and secularisation have been pulverised by the Emperor of heaven.”
Governor Sanwo-Olu had, on Thursday, rolled out new guidelines for the reopening of worship centres which restricted church attendance to a quarter of its capacity. He also said those who 65years and above, as well as those below 15 years of age, should not attend.

But Rev Okotie, in a message to members of the House of God Church, 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. Corona Virus, the god of Secular Humanism, will be decapitated in like manner.”
