Why Pastor Osayi walked out of congregation
According to Osayi, the Holy Spirit that works with him did not want such distraction. Thus, he had to leave the congregation so that the power of God residing in him would not leave him.
Below are some of Nigerians’ reactions to the trending video:
Big Josh wrote:
“I can understand this, though.
“However, the question is if he had such similar “distraction” in a larger congregation or in a congregation of top politicians, would the energy still be the same?
“If no, then there just might be something wrong.”
Billionaire Andre reacted:
“It’s heartbreaking people are defending nonsense.”
Another Nigerian with the handle @BN_officially tweeted:
“”It is not God’s will for you to preach today?” Interesting, imagine Jesus walking away from the sermon on the mouth because some people were interrupting him. Imagine instead of feeding them with Fish & bread he dipped.”
Big Alex, on his part, said:
“What he did is right. You can’t be in the presence of GOD and not Slient. Your phone is a big disrespect to GOD.”
Erimus reacted:
“Na pastors dey pass judgment on behalf of God these days.”
