Joagbaje: Security is just a simple common sense. Certain measure may be taken when there's security concern . It is simple common sense. Jesus took security measures when such need arose . Paul took security measures when such need arose. ehn ehn...and what happened to the supreme security?? If Jesus being God and/or the only son, and paul the supreme messenger still needs security, doesn't that in itself raise some questions?? If a man of God feel the need of measures in the face of robbery , assassin or kidnappers , he is free to take such measure according to his level of faith.meaning okotie for e.g, has a low level of faith abi?? That doesn't take away prayers.what's now the use?? Because after all theses measures have been taken . We don't put faith in them.then why take them?? Safety is still by God.as evidenced in those that died in church bombings.. But the physical measures cAn prevent some evil  by God's standards, your statement is flawed sir... 3 Likes |

Gombs:Did Jesus arrange men in the force to do that? Or trained,buildt men? To protect him in the first instance?! Shebi he know what as gon happen... Peter was a disciple!!! He was there while Jesus was being arrested and the played defense!! Not a body guard... If you as an apprentice, wouldn't you pick up something to defend ya oga if area boys were fighting him? Does that make you his body guard?!! Bodyguards main job is to protect their bosses... was that Peter's main work to Jesus? With this,i say your question is wack! Anyways,your option d tho! He was there as a disciple who's ready to defend his master!!.. not protect him in the literal meaning of a bodyguard.. 11 Likes |

@op .... May God save us from this kleg mog ehn!! If to say I went to this mr or even any other pastor to seek his opinion on using a red cloth to tie my properties to scare thieves away .. "except the lord watches the watchman watches but in vain",, isn't that going to be part if his preaching against my action?! They prefer to be protected by machine guns when the bible said fear not him that can kill the body but fear him that can take away the soul!... na wah If what I heard about rccg go Is true! Then same applies to him.. 4 Likes |

Was it not this same pastor Chris who said "heaven helps those who help themselves" when confronted with the bodyguards ish. Tell me what message is he trying to pass across?! Any so called Christain that supports this act is a hypocrite!! Tsw Even oyedepo!... oga oo! An innocent mind can easily be deceived into thinking that temples should be the safest and most secure places one could ever think of. We naively believe that the intention of anyone who goes into the temple is to repair their broken relationship with God. One can, therefore, be excused for assuming that the temple is the safest and most secure place. But with this acts of so clalled mog, haven't they demonstrated that the temple ain't safe and secured? So when coming,hold something .knives? CharmS?! @gombs,,So I ask,if Jesus was alive today would he employ bodyguards? 7 Likes |

Joagbaje:I now know that this joagbaje is a greedy, money thiefing tithe collecting, fraudulent man of god. Jesus had enemies because he spoke the truth about sabbath, religious rights, tithes etc (Matt 21:45, Matt 23:13 etc) which the Pharisees and Sadducees like you are not comfortable with but he did not use security to protect himself. Jesus escaped being lynched by murderers miraculously, God protected him because his time was not yet come when the time was right they arrested him and killed him. Paul suffered robbery just as everybody would because he was doing God's work. The work of God reduced him from a lawyer to a tent maker but today's pastors (which i know you are one of them) go from unemployed to millionaires. The sword peter was carrying was not to fight it was part of what they carried as they moved about that's why when peter used it wrongly Jesus told him that 'he that lives by the sword dies by the sword' (Matt 26:52) Security info or not Matt 26:55 clearly states that Jesus never carried any security. ' Are you come out as against a thief with swords and staves to take me? i sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold on me.' that tells you how simple Jesus lived his life. NO BODY GUARD Finally, Jesus said in Luke 12:4 & 5 - And i say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, ... but he that can kill the body and cast the soul in HELL. A word is enough for the sagacious 11 Likes |

During the missionary days I didn't read or heard that any missionary man of God seek protection in any form of power except that of God and during that they are more vulnerable to spiritual attack. I doubt the call of any pastor wu seeks power outside the word of God |

I don't think so but most times especially in Nigeria, the fact that terrorism, kidnappings and the high rate of crime in the society is becoming unbearable, most of them decided to be moving with bodyguards. Though most do that out of selfishness and trying to meet up. Its for God to judge all shaa. |

I am not a religious bigot. I cannot listen to God's word under such an environment created by Okotie. The situation would have been different if he was hosting say a crusade in Gombe and he needed some security for the menace of Boko haram. |
| Re: Should Men Of God Have Bodyguards? by Dannylux: 8:24am On Dec 15, 2013 |
Gombs: Jesus hadn't no idea Peter was carrying any knife at that moment, so it'd be inappropriate to tag him a bodyguard or whatever is in your options. He was only looking at for him notwithstanding Jesus never wanted that! |
