The founder of Christ Embassy, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome has cautioned against the arrest and assault of Pastors during this coronavirus crisis period in the country.

The pastor gave this warning while reacting to a report of Pastors being arrested by government officials trying to enforce social distancing in churches.

While he was speaking, he Narrated a recent event which played out, he recalled how a member of a taskforce bragged about arresting a Pastor. 

The Love World Assembly pastor said, “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 the 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?” he asked.

“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. Anybody that assaults a pastor is in danger, he is in more trouble than the pastor, ” he continued.
