Pastor Chris Okotie of the Household of God Church, Oregun, Lagos has rejected the Lagos State regulations on reopening of worship centres which restrict 65 years and above, 15 years below persons from attending.
The reopening guideline is an abomination of desolation, says Okotie in a statement he released on Friday.
The question begging for answers is: Will parents be in churches and mosques and their 15-years-years-old and below children be left at home? Doing what?
He said: “ The Household of God Church’s doors will remain closed until these profanation and secularization have been pulverized by the Emperor of heaven.”
Lagos State Governor Sanwo-Olu had on Friday, rolled out new guidelines for the reopening of worship centres which restricted church attendance to 500 members.
He also said those who are 65 and above and below 15 years of age cannot attend. The measures, according to the governor, is meant to control the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.
However, Rev Okotie, who had last Monday in a widely published statement lashed out at CAN for proposing similar guidelines, said the government cannot reorder worship in the house of God.

He said, “Beloved, yesterday, the abomination of desolation took a giant step towards standing in the holy place.
“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.”
