You should learn to ignore and face the goal. This is why Jesus Christ said it would be easier for a camel to through the eye of a needle than for man to make the kingdom of God because of the many distractions.

Are you saying when you see a naked woman or man you can't control the urge to be sexual with them? If you can control yourself under this condition, I don't see how someone pressing or answering a phone call should distract you.

Jesus Christ came for sinners.

Yes, someone answering a call would distract you. Have you seen a church setting where two churches are in the same building? Or facing each other with speakers?

Shay u can focus in such a church?

Let's say it's not your regular church since you dey form spiritual. Let's say someone invited you for a child dedication or another.

That na lie, you can drown away distractions if you are fully concentrated on whatever you are doing. You can even sleep through the nosiest generator if your focus is to sleep

clerkent:
you can't face any goal with distraction oga.the noise from her phone won't allow you to concentrate in the service.

Neroiam:


If it was an ant that was climbing up her dress and the brother noticed it and yanked it off, averting a possible dance even without music playing that would distract many and to her own expense, would you also say the brother Lost focus?

He can better direct her to the ant for her to do the yanking herself

Those are different scenarios you've mentioned - two churches in the same building get as e bi but if both are spirit filled, nothing go distract anyone. It would even be to their advantage sef

For dedication etc, yes you can easily be distracted because your goal in church was to attend the dedication and go home not to listen to the sermon ...abi I lie

Stop it, it's wrong.

At least show some respect for GOD.

I sat next to a lady that was visiting IG, reposting things on WhatsApp status and streaming another church's service in church.

My biggest grouse was that she did this throughout the 1hr 45 mins service.

When the sermon switched to why we're meant to correct people when we see them acting wrongly, I knew I had to do something.

So I tapped her and gave her the "why are you using your phone in church" look.

This lady responded so angrily it shocked me. Anyways, we were going to cause a scene so I let her alone.
At least I'd ed my message.

If you use your phone in church, please stop it. You end up distracting people around you plus it's disrespectful. Please stop it.

Mind your damn business you holier than thou

Good character is not for Sunday morning alone. No bi only inside church everybody go dey do like fowl wey rain beat, you love your neighbor as yourself?

Did her phone ring out or did she play music with her phone?

Learn to mind your business Op, It will save you from lots of trouble.

At embolden ... na eye she cut abi nor bi public spanking. OP tapping would definitely attract attention and some people may even conclude he's trying to woo a babe in church instead of listening to the sermon. You can image the cascaded judgement that may have gone through so many minds in church today as a result of his act.

If you are in the Lord, you can never be distracted

The question is, did he tap her to attract attention? Intentionally?
Haven't you heard pastors talking about some bad habits he noticed in the church from the altar just to correct others who may be into it?

Fyi if seen mother's cutting eye for thier kids. It wasn't intended to call my attention but I noticed.

Being in the Lord of course means you can't be distracted.
It also means you're aware and conscious of your surrounding.

Do not neglect the gathering of the saints. HEB 10:25
One of the benefits is for chastisement. If you see a brother or a sister erring and you let them because you're in the Lord, thier blood will be required of you. Ezekiel 33:8

If you get chance, I for like invite you to one wey dey my side for Delta.. make u see how u go take focus. First, it's unwise for the second church to situate it's base at where another is. Even betnaija shops are 10km away apart. Make we no dey use God matter dey play nau.
God is orderly.

So if you go dedication for church and sermon dey go on, you no go listen because na only dedication carry u cone abi?
Perhaps you didn't even attend ur own church that Sunday.
And who says too much of the word of God is bad?

wunmi590:


I don't do unnecessary fashion in church, once I'm leaving home to church, I off my phone or sometimes put it on air plane mode....

That's what we were brought up with, and I've also inculcated it in my own family too.....

I'm a catholic and once an alter server, so I get used to offing my phone before even stepping into the sacristy

I don't do big boy in the presence of God...

I might not be that humble or might be tho. But whenever I'm in the presence of God I try to pay rapt and full attention with humility in my heart because before no Man have I appeared but on to he who is God. The Monarch of the earth. He truly deserves my all.

Motivational speakers will put you in bigger trouble one day.

For you to get the best out of service, you just need overlook a lot of things and focus on why you went to church. Am I against correcting people? Not in anyway.

For instance, quite funny though, I don't take phone to church, in fact, I stopped wearing wrist watch to church at a point because of how I'm always conscious of the time and thinking the service is taking too long thus missing what God has for me. So whatever it is that will cause distraction for you, just overlook, better still, you probably could just look for another seat so you can concentrate

You should have minded your business. In the process of paying attention to what she was doing, you yourself are not doing what you came to church to do.

Holy man watched her for 1hr 45m I guess the Bible say watch and pray not watch and challenge her. The problem here is that you don’t understand this verse

he wasn't paying her attention the whole 1.45hrs. He noticed it and tried to correct her immediately.

Well lucky for her she attended a 'nice' church.

I was once invited to a church service, I think it was Redeemed, we didn't sit for two minutes straight. After every few minutes, what I would hear was 'may we all rise to our feet'. This continued till the end of the service, I was soo frustrated.

Needless to say I didn't go back there again, ever.

Though u 're funny but right bro/sis �

MYOB.......

If you are angry with that, what will you do to stop an elderly man who often come to church late, with no Bible but newspaper?

That I've seen in my church at Egbeda.

He may have a very good reason for doing that but that remains unknown to me. Let people know what they do wrongly or if you can't, leave them to God or their "righteous" reasoning for doing the wrong thing.
