Pastors Harbouring Children Illegally In Ondo Church Not Our Members – CAN

The leadership of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has dissociated itself from the act of the pastor arrested in Ondo who reportedly camped his members on the church premises, misleading them into believing that the second coming of Jesus Christ popularly referred to as the rapture is now.

CAN also called on the police to thoroughly investigate them and their activities with a view to prosecuting the kingpin and his cohorts if there had been any infringement on the law of Nigeria and the rights of the members in his custody. العاب ربح مال حقيقي

This was contained in a statement signed by Pastor Adebayo Oladeji, Special Assistant (Media & Communications) to the CAN President, His Eminence, Rev Dr Samson Ayokunle and made available to newsmen in Abuja.

“Though, the Pastor in question and his church, the Whole Bible Believers Church in Ondo are not members of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) at all levels and so, he is not known to us, but the fact that the church claims to be a Christian church necessitates that we state our position on his practice.

“No true Pastor would claim to know the date of the rapture because the Bible has stated it clearly that it is only God who knows the date. Whoever claims to know the date is not only misleading the public but cannot claim to be a genuine Servant of God. موقع المراهنات على المباريات He is at best, an agent of Satan pretending to be a Pastor.

“CAN, therefore, commends the Police for their prompt actions which included rescuing over 70 victims from the Church premises. They should further be subjected to medical check-ups since nobody knows what they were going through where they were camped.

“We hereby urge all denominations to keep an eye on the pastors under them towards ensuring wholesome biblical conduct. Members of the churches all over the nation are enjoined to cross-check every teaching from the Bible before believing it,” the statement further stated.

Recall that the nation was awaken with a discovery of over 40 children allegedly camped in a church building on the guise of rapture. مال مجاني
