The Lords Chosen Charismatic Revival Ministry has stated that it will be
holding its annual Easter Crusade live on the Church’s cable Television and
other social media platforms.
In a press statement by Director, Public Relations, Pastor Louis Chidi
the move is in the
light of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and subsequent directive by the
government on the cessation of movement in many part of the country.
“With all gratitude to Almighty God, we wish to inform the general public
and our esteemed worshipers that, in light of the ongoing Covid-19
pandemic, and subsequent directive by the government on the cessation of
movement in many parts of the country, The Lord’s Chosen Charismatic Revival
Movement wants to reiterate that the church has fully complied with the
directive and has thus temporary suspended all church activities particularly
in Lagos and Abuja until further notice.
“Sequel to that, we have concluded plan to broadcast live on our Chosen
Revival cable TV and all social media platforms during the two - day Easter
program titled ‘God’s Covenant of
Peace and Blessing’ date Saturday 11th April and Sunday 12th April, 2020, time
10am daily.
Pastor Chidi said the special programme will help bring to mind the
significant of Easter which by extension is the
victory over hopelessness and misery. “As we know that by His death and resurrection, the covenant of peace and
blessing which mankind originally had with God at creation was restored. So, the concept of Easter is inextricably tied to peace, hope and
blessing, and these are what help believers to
walkover sad and sordid situations that might bog them down and give them a
sense of hopelessness.”
He stated that Easter brings
optimism that no matter how difficult or how challenging a situation may be,
having knowledge of the resurrection will
remind Christians that if Jesus could defeat death, then all things are
possible adding that tt also suggests that as bad as the prevailing
situation might appear, there is the expectation that things will get better if
people repent from their sins and accept Jesus as the Lord and Saviour.
Chidi said the nation is therefore advised to use the
opportunity availed by the occasion to humbly draw closer to God, repent from
wickedness, plead for His mercy and intervention in a time like this.
Quoting Matt. 11: 28- 30 which
says, “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give
you rest. 29 Take yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in
heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my
burden is light” he said God has offered humanity everlasting peace at no cost.
Chidi said that the cost
will be high if we reject this free offer. “If the world particularly Nigerians
will acknowledge and appreciate this wonderful work of grace and return to
their God, then the pandemic of COVID-19 and its attendant economic crises will
be overcome.
“Through prayers during this programme the Holy Spirit will deal with the
challenges of the present pandemic and evoke the covenant of peace and blessing
upon the participants. As we return to God
apologetically for our sin, peace shall return to all and the entire country
shall rejoice.
“No participant will go empty handed because God Almighty has seen our
hopelessness and therefore has scheduled the program to bring peace and
blessing of unspeakable joy to us.
“It does not matter the nature of the ugly situation prevailing in the
world today, our assurance is that by this program He will intervene and cause
the hostility of our enemies to cease as He did in the bible days.
“The program will definitely douse the anxiety that has hitherto pervaded the country and the world. The General Overseer
Pastor Lazarus Muoka is inviting all to join and witness the demonstration of
God’s power that will bring a lasting peace to the country,” Pastor Chidi
revealed.
