Just shut it ,you should have ask God for the logical reason for Razor affecting Samsons physical strength and the relationship between trumpet and Jericho wall falling.

You are shallow spiritually

You are mentally retarded spiritually to believe that ringing tone disrupts the flow of Gods anointing.....

Abeg na pride… even if I’m in a meeting with tinubu and I’m expecting a biz deal with Elon Musk, I’ll take the call in front of tinubu.. ringing alone is just too soft… some people forming assistant God over a minor issue, as if at the end of the day the business man (pastor) won’t collect tithes and offering?
You'd choose to dishonour someone because a supposedly more influential person gave you a phone call? Oga you're not fit to talk on this matter abeg.
Re: Apostle Arome Osayi Stopped Preaching Because Phones Rang! Pride Or Discipline? by NaMe4: 5:41pm On Nov 17
Well, indiscipline on the part of some members of his congregation.

He even requested phones be set aside earlier.

You can imagine such indiscipline inside the church where the individual(s) may be seeking 'unwarranted favours'. These are the same set of people who would for whatever reason refuse to join queues in the mall, fuel station, disobey traffic laws, etc, but expect their leaders to sacrifice for them. Some even carry their kids along while acting irresponsibly.

The average Nigerian needs thorough reorientation.

Your phone should be mute/silent when in places of worship, lectures, meetings, when you visit official/office spaces.

This separates the enlightened/cultured individual from the average mediocre!

The bible says you should not argue with fools lest you become like them , but i will clear ur doubt one last time.You are only pained by the truth and there's not a single contradiction in what I said. Being a pastor or any member of the body of christ is not only a calling but a responsibility. The Holy spirit in you allows you to suppress the fleshy desires of pride and anger. For a pastor to say phone calls in church disrupt his anointing is an insult to the work of Jesus and the fruits of the spirit & as christainns you must call out the pastor just as Paul called-out Peter when he was diverting from the gospel. What if someone was under the yoke of evil and needed his sermon to become alive again? What if someone was actually suicidal & came to church that day as a last hope for grace & love from the gospel? Thr pastor is working for christ and not himself, therefore he has no authority no to teach the word he was commissioned to do. And yes whose aim is to stop the hearing of the word or the gospel?

Look how you're confidently spitting crap.

I bet you don't even know Jack about the Bible and what it says about honouring pastors. When I say pastors, I don't mean the ones you lot see in social media and use as the benchmark for genuine pastors. I'm talking about those who diligently labour to make sure they feed their sheep with sound spiritual knowledge.

Na una go carry money dey spend on frivolities; women, club and senseless parties. But when you see believers giving to their pastors and to the church to sponsor God's work, na una go raise hell on earth. You people should leave Christians alone and stop attacking the church.

If you or any of your acquaintances have been scammed by fake pastors, then it's because they chose to be gullible and fell in the wribg hands. That does not call for generalization and stereotyping.

Apostle Arome Osayi stopped preaching and left the pulpit because phones rang in the church ! Is this pride or spiritual discipline? Did Jesus stop preaching despite the noise of the crowd? Would Arome have done same if he was in secular job ? Was he disrespectful to the congregation that came to church to listen to him?

Arome is a guy I respect and as a fellow comrade in the vineyard of Christ, I believe this was excessive and unfair to the congregation who came out to listen to you. I encourage you to take time to self reflect and publicly apologise to your church members ! This is very important because many younger pastors and Christians look up to you and see u as a father!

Anger prevented Moses from reaching the promise land. He was also disobedient because 99.5% obedience is still disobedience.
The man could have rebuked the people and go ahead with the service.

May we be counted worthy in the kingdom of God.

Bobbiet:

This is the very issue we as a people have.

Selective obedience . A preacher or let's even say a speaker came up to speak and a Phone rang. He then WARNED and said phones ringing while he preaches OBSTRUCTS the flow of his anointing and if it REPEATS itself, he will stop his sermon and leave. Then another phone rang. He Stops preaching and takes his sit and all of a sudden he has pride.

Meanwhile same people calling it pride and arrogance will approach check points and won't pick calls. Many will pass CBN buildings and hide their phones by just mere reading the sign Posts. Many have been sent out of exam halls for same character but all of a sudden the man of God has pride and arrogance.

Many of you as teachers in schools have even disciplined students for similar act and most lecturers have walked out of classes for similar act.

I respect that man for standing by his own words and not caring about anyone's opinion.

A minister is first a servant of the people. Did you notice that all the examples you gave where those of "masters", institutions? There you have it!

This is just unnecessary display of arrogance, it is not discipline.

Even in the court of law, when people's phone ring despite notice given, the offender will be guilty of contempt of court and be punished/given fine accordingly. The Judge won't stop the court process just because of one person.

The Nigerian version of Christianity is indeed flawed.

God bless you.

You make a post and also indirectly making judgement at the same time.


If a phone rings in court it becomes contempt of court. In similar way, I guess it becomes "contempt of God" if it rings in church especially when the MOG pardoned the first ring.

In any case, it seems Christaindom is confused. That's what happens when they left the core message of Salvation and everyone turns prosperity preacher just because they have a sweet mouth as a motivational speaker.

But I'm adding him to the list of MOGs I don't like.

The list already has Abiyemoyo (that guy with opkolo eyes, not the one that just left Winners), Johnson Suleiman.

I should add Adeboye but I spent most of my adult life in RCCG. I am very emotionally attached to the church.

https://www.nairaland.com/8123804/apostle-arome-osayi-reconciles-son

I was amused when people were happy that two pastors reconciled.

Hahahahaha I don't even consider those ones as Pastors. Or maybe I'm just a hater. grin

Adéboyé should stop granting press interviews or whatnot, the economy is not funny at all and the masses are really suffering. That his recent comment did not make sense.

TimiRume:
Importance of having elders in a church

Modified: Haven seen his previous videos from years back on this matter of phone ringing, and also the recent one where he walked out, I don't think he is wrong. In short, I agree with him. He has been preaching about the need for discipline in the body of Christ and why we need to show reverence to God's word when we come for it. Eventhough I think the person whose phone rings should be asked to leave instead of the whole congregation paying for one person's carelessness, he said he finds it difficult to ascend in the spirit when there are phone distractions. So even if the person at fault leaves, he won't still be able to impart much on the congregation( though God can be merciful).

My conclusion is that disciplinary measures like this may appear cold and unloving but at the end they would prove effective.
All what you alluded to that he find it difficult to ascend spiritually huum, so if there is an external noise from outside the church he will vex and leave the pulpit? All these spiritual attributes arrogated to them in naija is not possible overseas, where the system work ,whether you pray or not ,work or not you will have something to eat, those who do not work, government give them money, I am sorry oh I think he should have just paused and caution the congregants to put off or silent . The level of noise pollution in Nigeria is high both from the pulpit and outside
