Reverend Seyi Faloju , the head pastor of Gracepoint church Ibadan has urged those blaming God for the Owo Catholic church attack where scores of worshippers were murdered by gun men who invaded the church to desist from such blame game.
Reverend Faloju said God still remains God and He is justified in all things.
He chided those blaming God that they do not have understanding of how God works and relates with humans.
He said " I learnt that some said those worshippers in the Catholic church in Owo were shouting " Jesus, Jesus" so why didn't Jesus save them? I tell such people to keep quiet if they don't know spiritual things. You think God is a magician who will say I order you to stop and you will stop. No that is not how God operates or relates with us. God must have put that burden of that attack on you to pray (to avert) it but you did not listen, you did not pray.You see, God is justified in all things ".
Speaking about the 911 attack in America, Reverend Faloju said a prominent man of God questioned God why God did not prevent the attack and God replied him that He God spoke to everyone that morning not to go to work.
Reverend Faloju advised that we should build our spiritual life so that we can connect with God and hear from him. He emphasised the need for Christians to be vigilant and build their spiritual lives by reading the bible, praying and spending quality time with God.
He stated " That way you will know what to do. Where to go and when someone is lying. God is a spirit and we must worship Him in spirit and truth".
Attacks on churches and kidnapping have seen churches heighten security and putting measures in place to prevent attacks. Churches are now putting up barricades, engaging police and civil defence personnel , search and use of bomb detectors at thier entrances. Security personnel are more now vigilant during service all in a bid to prevent attacks by gun men who are targeting churches and christians.
