The Founder and President of Christ Embassy, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, has criticised fellow pastors who are advising their congregations to go ahead and take a shot of the COVID-19 vaccine.

According to a sermon delivered which was shared on the YouTube channel of his church, Oyakhilome bemoaned how preachers of the gospel became preachers of the vaccine.

As indicated by him, ministers should channel the faith they have in the vaccine to God’s word which made them healers.

He said, “I can’t understand how a minister of the gospel would be waiting for some vaccine to be the solution for the world. Where is your faith? What happened to you?

“We cannot make such recommendations; it is not our calling to make such recommendations. We cannot be used for that. As a minister of the gospel, you should not be used for that.

“How can you become a minister of vaccines? What happened to you? Where is the word of God in your mouth?

“Do you realise that if you would believe in Christ and in the word of God the way you believe in this vaccine, there will be power in your mouth? He (God) made us healers.”

Oyakhilome bemoaned how pastors have now disregarded the God they serve to the point of leading the people of God into a faith in vaccines.

“What is wrong? What has happened to you? When did we start making that kind of recommendations to God’s people?

“For God sake, think again. How can they send us to the churches to tell them to go take the vaccine?

“Listen, if I say to someone, you shall live and not die, that’s it for him. Isn’t that the Bible that you read?

“Where is your God of Elijah, your God of Moses? Where is your God of Peter, James and John? What is the matter with you?” he asked.
