‘CHURCHES\nin Nigeria will certainly lose members after COVID-19\npandemic’<\/strong>-Pastor\nSam Adeyemi, Daystar Christian Centre <\/strong>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*’Churches\nwith huge members may see a smaller congregation, as most people will\nnow prefer to stream services from home’<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

*\n‘Now\nthat many have been used to worshiping God from the comfort of their\nrooms, will they go to church when COVID-19 is finally over?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

*\n\u201cMany Christians may also feel relaxed on Sundays when they usually\ngo to church?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

*\nBY TOMIWA BOLUWATIFE\/RELIGIOUS REPORTER, LAGOS<\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

PASTOR\nSAM ADEYEMI, Senior pa<\/strong>stor\nof Daystar Christian Centre is a man of God highly celebrated for\nhis honesty, godliness and truthfulness of the word of God all the\ntime. He critically appraised the on-going Coronavirus pandemic in\nthe world, and conclude that churches will not remain the same after\nthe COVID-19 pandemic. <\/strong>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making\nthis known<\/strong>\n<\/strong>on<\/strong>\nBBC Yoruba on Tuesday, Adeyemi stated that churches with huge members\nmay see a smaller congregation, as most people will now prefer to\nstream services from home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat\u2019s\nan issue I have pondered upon severally because the church may not be\nthe same again after this COVID-19 experience. As you can see, many\npeople have been receiving messages via online broadcast from their\nhomes. It\u2019s no longer like before that they have to be physically\npresent in churches,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNow\nthat many have been used to worshiping God from the comfort of their\nrooms, will they go to church when COVID-19 is finally over?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c<\/strong>Many\nChristians may also feel relaxed on Sundays when they usually go to\nchurch,\u201d he said.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adeyemi also noted that the\nCoronavirus outbreak has shown members if their churches care about\nthem. (Agency Report\/Independent)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
