The head pastor of Daystar Christian Centre, Pastor Sam Adeyemi has said that churches will never be the same again post-coronavirus pandemic.
According to the cleric, members may want to continue observing church services from the comfort of their homes.
He made this known during a live chat with BBC Yoruba on Tuesday, May 12, a session that was observed by The Cable.
In the chat, the man of God said that the pandemic will greatly affect churches, as some of them may witness a big reduction in their membership as many members might just want to continue worshipping God from home.
That’s an issue I have pondered upon severally because the church may not be the same again after this COVID-19 experience. As you can see, many people have been receiving messages via online broadcast from their homes. It’s no longer like before that they have to be physically present in churches,” he said.
Adeyemi said that since many are already used to getting broadcast from the comfort of the homes, they would feel reluctant to go to church even after everything comes back to normal.
“Now that many have been used to worshiping God from the comfort of their rooms, will they go to church when COVID-19 is finally over? Many Christians may also feel relaxed on Sundays when they usually go to church,” he added.
Another thing Adeyemi said is that Christians are using this trying period to really measure how concerned their churches are towards their welfare.
“Also, many Christians have started questioning the genuineness of their churches for them with little or no help coming their way during the pandemic period when hunger is holding sway,” he said.
