Face mask, face shield in church denies the finished work of the cross - Okotie

Reverend Chris Okotie of Household of God Church has spoken against the wearing of face mask and face shield in church.

The clergyman said that doing such is tantamount to a Christian denying the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross.

According to him, when Jesus Christ died, the veil in the temple which separated man from God was torn in two thereby giving man direct access to God.

Okotie said that wearing a face mask or face shield in a church is similar to putting a veil between one and God.

“When a man is standing before God in church wearing a shield or mask, he is denying the finished work of the cross,” he added.
