I Was Pressured To Be Atiku's Running Mate, Cockroaches May Soon Occupy Churches – Tunde Bakare

Serving Overseer of the Latter Rain Assembly, Pastor Tunde Bakare, has warned that if Churches do not live up to their responsibilities, they may soon become empty with roaches and spiders taking over worship centres. 

He gave the warning during The Future of Faith Instagram Live session with Chude Jideonwo where he spoke on governance and the responsibilities of the church amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

He stressed that the Church is a body that is required to show up and minister to its members in these trying times.

“The church, which is you and I and the millions of Christians in this country, has one duty; to nourish the body of Christ, honor and serve it. That is you and I.

“If the church does not do its duty, it will soon be empty and cockroaches and spiders will take over,” Bakare said.

On his presidential ambition, the fiery preacher mentioned that in a recent general election, he was “pressured to run with Atiku.”

The conversation also touched on gender and the state of violence against women.

It also discussed the role of religion in the continued subjugation of women and how women continue to suffer violence at the hands of men.
