The Koforidua Area Head of the Church of Pentecost, Apostle Samuel Osei Asante has said fear among many Christians that going to Church could lead to contracting Coronavirus is from the devil.
According to Apostle S. O. Asante, he could not fathom out why some Christians attend events, go to congested market centers, and another social gathering where the preventive etiquettes are not fully observed yet fear to attend Church despite comprehensive measures rolled out to ensure strict compliance to Covid-19 preventive protocols.
He believes, this fear mindset is satanic ostensibly to keep away Christians from congregating to worship their maker.
He urged Christians to rise to overcome this widespread monophobia attack on the Church and develop unwavering faith in God for spiritual protection while observing the preventive measures for Physical protection.
“We are praying that God’s grace will continue to be with us and guide us to continue to keep the protocols and at the same time worship God in Spirit and truth, and the whole heart.”
The Koforidua Area Head of the Church of Pentecost said this Sunday, June 28, 2020, when he visited Pentecost International Worship Center (PIWC) -Koforidua as part of his monitoring tour at various Assemblies of the Church to assess the extent of compliance with the Covid-19 Protocols.
At PIWC it was observed that a Covid-19 taskforce has been put together according to the directive of the Church ensuring compulsory wearing of nose masks/face shield, hand washing, application of hand sanitizer, and temperature checks before congregants are allowed into the auditorium.
Apart from these, the Covid-19 team made up of health workers in the Church carbolize seats numbered and spaced to ensure social distancing before commencements of every service. Microphones and other gadgets are also sanitized.
The team delivers education on Covid-19 prevention to congregants per each of the three services held.
The Area Head was satisfied with the level of compliance.
The Resident Minister of PIWC – Koforidua, Pastor Musa Yahaya explained that Church Service has been divided into three which each member has been given a seat number embedded with details of the individual in the Church’s database which makes it easier to identify and trace any member using the seat numbers.
He emphasized his faith in the Lord that no church member will contract Coronavirus in Church.
