Service has resumed at the Christ Apostolic Church (CAC), Oke Isegun, Eruku Zonal Headquars, Eruku, Ekiti Local Government Area of Kwara State, following the recent terrorist attack on the church.
On November 18, armed men stormed the church during an evening service, shooting at worshippers. Thirty-eight members were abducted, and several were killed, including the pastor.
It would be called that the President of Christ Apostolic Church, Nigeria and Overseas, Pastor Samuel Olusegun Oladele last Friday visited Erùkú Town to commiserate with members of the church, their families and the community on the recent attack.
In a viral video seen by CAC News from the service held on Sunday, November 23, 2025, the Zonal Superintendent, Eruku Zone, Pastor Lawrence Abiodun Bamidele declared that God’s judgment would descend on the terrorists who attacked the congregation and took lives.
He urged members not to fear death as Christians, insisting that God’s promise of eternal life remains assured for all who die in the name of Jesus.
He said, “As a Christian, you must not fear death. Jesus has promised you eternal life. He has promised eternal life to us.
“Don’t let us fear death. Anywhere death comes to you, make sure you do not curse Jesus. If you don’t curse Jesus, the promise is for you that Jesus will take you to a place of peace. This world will end but the life Jesus has promised us has no end. It is forever. He said we should not allow our hearts to be troubled.
“I want you to take comfort in knowing that they (our fellow worshippers) died at the feet of Jesus. They died a righteous death. Anyone who is killed for the gospel of Jesus Christ dies as a witness for Christ.
“And it is in the bible that God will avenge the deaths of the witnesses for Christ. Their blood will cry for justice. Those evil people (terrorists), watch out, God’s judgment will come upon them. The bible tells us that death is the path to life.”
The video also shows a police van and officers stationed outside the church to prevent any further attacks.
