God Has Asked Me To Cancel The 7 Days Fasting - Pastor Fatoyinbo Biodun Says

The senior pastor of Commonwealth Zion Assembly (COZA), Biodun Fatoyinbo, has announced a suspension of a seven-day programme of the church. TheCable reports that the pastor said the “Holy Spirit” directed him to do so.

Although he denied the allegation, the pastor has been widely criticised, with some Nigerians on Twitter asking him to step down. Protesters marched to his church in Lagos and Abuja on Sunday, mocking him and his members. But the pastor asked his congregation not to be provoked as they make their way out of the church. The service ended one hour earlier than usual, with many vacant seats at the church’s branch in Ikeja, Lagos. He said: “I have been relating with all my mentors, you know I am a man under authority. I really love to listen to them. So, I am going to be giving a few instructions as time goes on but the first instruction I want to give is, with what is going on, we are going to be having prayers every day for those who are interested to come. But we are not going to have the seven days of glory. “I don’t want all these kinds of stuff. I think last month we prayed for a whole month and we do all of that. Please, let’s be people of peace. So, if you want to pray with us, you can come here to pray. But the regular seven days won’t hold this year… you don’t want to put your guest speakers through all of that. “You know we love to host people properly. And you know some of them, apart from the fact that the Holy Spirit spoke to me about that, my mentors said to me, this is what we need to do while we step in and make sure we see what is going on. And you know what we stand for in COZA.
