LOCKED BUILDINGS BECOME CHURCH AGAIN AS WE REOPEN

 

ugust 08, 2020

The wall of Jericho has fallen and locked buildings become church again as there is huge progress in defeating COVID19 in Nigeria and around the World. In March 2020, the Government of Nigeria ordered the closure of worship centres "buildings" in effort to eradicate the spread of the pandemic that hits the World. 

Day after day passed with the buildings under lock but the church is never locked as we believe and understand that "the church is not a building but a congregation of Christians" which may sometimes be our respective homes, places of work or anywhere, as the case may be or  the need arises just as the case of the lockdown. Family fellowships, social media channels were resolved to, to glorify God

Heaven declares the glory of God God; skies proclaim the work of His hands. Day after day pour forth speech; night after night display knowledge. There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard. Their voice goes out to all earth; their words to the end of the World (Psalm 19:1-4a). We always join our voices with that of the heaven to declare His glory; with the skies to proclaim the work of His hands, and these are loud and clear to all earth and ends of the World for the glory of God because He will never share His glory with anyone.

The Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on Saturday, August 1, 2020, during a press briefing on COVID-19, at the State House, Marina Lagos, made disclosure of reopening of worship centres. He said that religious leaders must make available hand sanitizers, thermometer guns and ensure that social distancing is maintained.

The Governor in his statement said, “Places of worship in Lagos will now be opened from Friday, August 7 for our Muslim worshippers and on Sunday, August 9 for our Christian worshippers.

“We will only be allowing 50% of their capacity at either the church or the mosque. Churches that have Saturday worship day will also be allowed to start holding their Saturday worship. We must reiterate that places of worship are only permitted to have their regular once a week service on designated days.’’

In respect to the order of Lagos State Government, we wish to inform all the Jesus family that all our worship centres would be opened for service from 7:00 am on Sunday 9th August, 2020 on 50% capacity in line with the State Government regulations. It is also pertinent to note that wearing of face mask is a necessity; washing of hands with soap and water and/or sanitizing the hands with sanitizers at the entrance of the church as this shall be the mode of operation till further instruction is received .

May the grace of God be with us forever. See you on Sunday  @ THE GOOD SAVIOUR BIBLE CHURCH
