The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in Ogun has ordered all churches in the state to close down completely and immediately.

The directive was issued out today via a statement issued by the state Chairman, Bishop Tunde Akin-Akinsanya.

According to him, at this trying time, churches must apply Godly wisdom and follow His directive in the book of Isaiah 26:20, which says: Go, my people, enter your rooms and shut the doors behind you; hide yourselves for a little while until HIS wrath has passed by.

He added that this virus era will pass too in the name of Jesus as Christians continue to watch and pray.

His words, “As a follow up on our press release of March 19 in respect of the Coronavirus pandemic and consequent upon our continued findings on the disease, the Ogun chapter of CAN hereby directs that all churches be immediately shut down across the state.

“At this trying time, let us apply Godly wisdom and follow His directive in the book of Isaiah 26:20, which says: Go, my people, enter your rooms and shut the doors behind you; hide yourselves for a little while until HIS wrath has passed by.

“This too shall pass in the precious name of our Lord Jesus. We watch and pray.”
