Heaven isn't assured yet!

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 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.

will Jesus have acted in same manner?

What if the person was used by the devil in an attempt to hinder the gospel that day, it means that he clearly fell for it and cooperated with the devil.

blahc007:

He is a guest minister, so the pastor should finish it.

This is not the first time he has warned about this....

If there is an instruction like this in some people's work place, they will adhere strictly to it....but the house of God is a free zone where anybody can do any how because Jesus has brought us freedom

Una no just get sense for this forum with useless comparism.

Will a company close down for the day because a workers phone rang??

AfonjaPriest:
If they were donating tithes and a phone rang, would he leave the place?
Rubbish! Showoff!

You don't know him that's why you'll say this. If you did, you wouldn't have.

Very irritating... He because of someone who may be an instrument sent by satan to stop somebody in the congregation from being blessed. He gave in to the enemy... He was blinded to see the 99% who needed the word, rather focused on the 1%.
Its acceptable when you are conversing with the person whose phone rang alone but for a congregation? Haba.

Anyways, i believe the Holy Spirit will chastise him in his closet.

He simply failed to deliver the message God sent him to deliver to his people.... Very bad behaviour.

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.

beejay85:

Did Jesus not [b]angrily chased out Merchants from the temple?
Why the unnecessary criticism?

merchants trading sir. Did he chase the merchants listening to him out of the church?

You can't preach Christ and not be humble. He has failed a simple test of humility.

Jesus said "Satan, tempt not their Lord your God". The pastor should have done same and castigate the fellow in a subtle and polite way.

Stupid statement

Many of u need to learn a few things:

Many musicians write their albums or songs or perform in stage under very strict conditions.

I once read about a certain artist who doesn't want to smell someone's fart when preparing to sing( I think Pavarotti).

Others like a dark place to write.
There are dimensions to these things.



I have been in a church service and the pianist was playing at low volume, and we we're all boppinh our heads to the tune; but the pastor cautioned him not to drift away by playing nonsense, that the pianist is disturbing his spiritual flow by not tuning in with his rhythm.


Why do u think pastors tell the praise team to change their song to suit his mood?

Many things are involved but the pastor will not say everything.

Do u not know that the ring tone can be a means of distraction from the devil by use of a member there?

ANTAX99:


You don't know him that's why you'll say this. If you do, you wouldn't have.

Don't mind that guy.

He doesn't know that Apostle Arome Osayi has his own way of doing things in the spirit to accomplish God's work. Man is so strict spiritually.

ANTAX99:


You don't know him that's why you'll say this. If you do, you wouldn't have.

Who's he

Moses, Joseph, Elisha or an angel

CJStarz:

And will Tinubu walk away from an event sake of say somebori's bell ring?

You won't even be allowed to carry your phone close to the president. When I visited aso Rock during obj era, your phones are collected at the security post inside the villa

PlasmaTV:
Would your phone ring in the presence of the president/governor?

Would it ring in the presence f Biden or Trump?

why not,

Are they not human being like you,
What is so special about pig trump

FerrariE:
I knew Arome many years ago when he started. He was wrong for exiting the pulpit In Anger. You can't have the holy spirit in you and get easily irritated with the slightest provocation. You left Nigeria to preach in another country and because a phone rang, you angrily left the pulpit? How would your host react?
Have you considered other church ?

If you were in the Bible days what will you now call Jesus when he carried a whip and flogged people doing merchandise in the temple?… arrogant ba?

Please let’s stop ing bad behavior and trying to gaslight the man. People causing distractions is bad. It’s not as if he didn’t saying so during the service, as he continued preaching another phone Rang again. What is wrong is wrong.

OredoPikin:

He could have just walked the person out

If he could point out the person and walked him out, you will still find fault and call him arrogant, human beings like you can’t be satisfied.

mamaafrik:

Shut it,if you are spirit filled to understand the prophetics you will know why.


Can you allow your phone to ring in a board meeting
Grow

You're just being dumb! Will a board meeting come to an end because a phone rang?

Or will the chairman of the board end the meeting because a member's phone rang?

so why did he now allow the devil to win? Was the ringtone from every member? Even Jesus left the other sheeps in chase of the lost sheep. The lost sheep is the person whose phone rang. It's the duty of the pastor to reprimand the person in a Christ-like manner.

Correct

Unfortunately, phones will never stop ringing. People who attend church come from all walks of life, some are first-timers, others are, in themselves, not disciplined.

Reminds me of back in school, lecturers also have this policy but at the end, there is always that one person.

cryptocherith:



God help you guys!!!
Please tell me, when do you start caring for the church?
You can rush to conclude on why he left preaching as if you care about the message or the people.

After all, most of you "not necessarily you" see them as businessmen and nothing more, so why do you care he left?

What's the meaning of when did you start caring for the church?
Oga if you have nothing reasonable to post just stfu.
Do you know my background?
You think I don't have the right to talk about things that concern the church, who are you btw?

What the so called man of God did was rubbish,simple.

SeraphicWind:
It is not pride. What he did was the best thing to.

You are in the presence of God and your phone is ringing?

Will you allow that to happen in the presence of an ordinary governor?

did God ask us not allow our phones to ring in church..... don't be a hypocrite

I will never go back to that church in my life

now see how you're contradicting yourself. Jesus whip them for trading in his father's house. Did Jesus walk away from the temple and stop preaching to those ready to listen?

PlasmaTV:

Would it ring in the presence f Biden or Trump?

Believe me, there is always that one person. Even in the presence of lecturers who promised to make the entire class fail, there is that one person whose phone will ring.


When dealing with a crowd, it will be in one's interest to know that one cannot control everyone.

blowjohn:

after been in the spirit,
Has he accomplished anything to uplift his church ?
First time to even know if the apostle asayi exist

advanceDNA:


So who now finished the sermon when he left....??

Google it.
Daejumong, Apostle Arome may appear harsh but discipline is needed in body of Christ. We don't want lukewarms or anyhowness people that lacked decorum.

Picture this, imagine a suicidal person came to church, hoping to listen to the word of God, looking forward to hear something or someone to give him hope.
Imagine the number of people that needed to hear the word of God that day. Imagine the evil and sins that would have been prevented if that pastor preached. But he got irritated and refused to fulfill his purpose. It's a shame. He showed no respect for his employer (God)
the words of Christ to Peter, "Feed my sheep."
That day, the said pastor left the sheep to starve.

Poor thinking poor judgement. did the phone rang intentionally? Did the person pick the call? For that phone to have stop ringing under few seconds means it was a mistake. Is the stupid preacher a God ? Even God forgive sins who is he to walk out ofn his own if truely is was in that place to preach the gospel..

The only time Jesus isolates himself from the people is when he wants to pray and at that he will still go with at least 3 disciples to do that....

Ask yourself those or the person whose phone rang did he or she come to listen to the word of God or not? The preacher failed to carryout his primary assignment which is to preach the word of God which he will be able for in the last day, instead of you lots to put him in prayer so that he won't continue in this trajectory y'all are busy writing epistles to make him look right when actually he disobeyed God in the discharge of his duty as an Apostle....

Mandate1:

Exactly my point stop with the straw man arguments. They were doing the wrong thing in the house of God whether it’s merchandise or causing distractions by whatever means. You understand the point I’m trying to make stop twisting what is not there to twist.

Though it is advisable to put your phone on silence, it is possible to forget and the phone rings while in the presence of dignitaries. I once watched a media conference of Obama while he was president and the phone of one of the journalist rang, Obama saw the funny side of it. I work with high level political dignitaries and my phone has rang once too in a meeting the governor was seated and it was loud. Nothing happened, he just looked at my direction and moved on with the meeting.

And besides, the person whose phone rang might be a first timer. I think the action of the Pastor was a bit drastic
