Members and friends of Shepherd of Locust Army International, Ajah, Lagos, recently rolled out the drums to celebrate the Founder and Shepherd of the church, Reverend Chris Christian, who turned 60.
Speaking during the Thanksgiving Service to commemorate his 60th birthday in Lagos, the Shepherd said he never had urge for sex, despite being potent, adding that God created him different from other men.
On how he handles temptations from women, especially those who admire him, the cleric said: “I am not and can never be tempted by any woman because my own creation is different. I have never had sex and will never have it. To do away with the temptation, I do not allow women to come into my apartment or office. All my domestic workers are males, so, I do not have any encounter or private interaction with women beyond the church services. I do not socialise or mingle freely. I use most of my times writing books. I have written more than 466 books and still writing.”
As eunuch without a wife and family of his own, Reverend Christian said: “I have a covenant with my God not to have sex with any woman. Since I do not have sex, I can never have a child, so, I do not have any distraction from any family member since I do not raise a family. And that is the reason I do not own any property. All the lands and buildings are secured for the church. We have a structure for the continuity of the church.”
Recounting his experience with his parents on the issue of not having a wife and raising his own children, Reverend Christian noted that truly his parents did not like it, especially his father, but they cannot dictate to him on how to serve his God.
“I do what my Lord wants me to do. This is my calling and covenant with my Lord from my cradle days and I am not going to break it. My dad fought with me on this before he died, though my mother too was not alright with my choice and I understand her pain, but there is nothing I can do about it.”
Revealing that death has no power over his life, Reverend Christian, said: “Death can never kill me. I can never die. If you are deep in spiritualism, you would know that you cannot die. Men are not created to die. I have attained that height in spiritualism to the extent that I have control over death and angels. If you know who you are, you can never be poor. Nobody is supposed to be poor, the heavens have abundance of wealth and are looking for those to bless them with.”
