According to Spyro, this was not the time for prayers because they needed action. The singer said that in the days of the bible, God used men of God as tools to challenge bad government.

He wrote:
“I wish Men of God can speak up for the people now as it was in the days of old …This is not a time to PRAY, it is a time to ACT, even the Bible says “FAITH without WORKS is dead” In the Bible days, men of God were strong tools that God used to challenge the government and liberate the people. MOSES, your people need you now.”Spyro also called for things about entertainment to be suspended for now because he thinks it’s quite insensitive. The singer said the country was bleeding, and it has been affecting everyone.
In his caption he wrote:
“PRAYER IS ESSENTIAL but won’t do what man should do … Jesus after praying and speaking “LAZARUS COME FORTH” immediately said to the people “ROLL AWAY THE STONES” 😊 NO SITTING ON THE FENCE HERE ,MATTERS HAVE GONE PAST THAT.”

“*This is a time to pray much more 😊 We can never pray enough. We can pray and act. One doesn’t have to substitute the other. Also, Pastors can choose to speak up and a lot of them do so. However, they do not OWE us that responsibility. A Pastor’s duty is to shepherd the flock, the government is not their flock. So let’s also allow them freedom of choice to speak or refrain.”Mcfunsure:
“@spyro__official As much as you could have a valid point, saying “this is not a time to pray” is such a statement of ignorance. If you’re truly as ‘spiritual’ as you project, then you would know “men ought to pray and not to faint” and “…pray without ceasing”. There can NEVER come a time when “prayer won’t be needed”.”
