Lets keep praying and interceding for Arome Osayi. He has been keeping a very heavy schedule lately. In one of his teachings, he emphasised the fact that a Servant of God must take breaks after 2 weeks of heavy ministrations to recover spiritually. I like to watch his old videos because they teach me so much and he is amongst the best bible teachers I have come across. I started interceding for him a while back because I started noting that his current preaching's were full of I.... and also even though it has been put out there that RCN is not a Church, it would seem that a Church was being planted in North America. I prayed intently that the Lord whose servant he is would reprimand him Romans 14:4. It is not right in my humble opinion for anyone to stand and defend another man as we cannot discern another person's heart except the Holy opens our eyes. The body of Christ must stop this senseless grovelling of ministers, papa, mama Man of God etc. If we do not accord this level of respect to our God who says he is a Great King, we must not accord it to any man Malachi 1:14. No man is above rebuke. Only God is Job 42:2 There is no one who can restrain His hand or say to Him, 'What have You done?'” Psalm 115:3. Our God is in heaven; He does as He pleases. Psalm 135:6. Even though I am disappointed with he did what he did, All things work together for good for them that love God. Only the Holy Spirit is indispensable. This highlights the fact that we all have limitations no matter the mantles we carry. LET US INTERCEDE FOR ALL SERVANTS OF GOD!

Your phone ringing in court will never make any judge to halt court session, so why would your pastors walk away from speaking to the mugus?

Someone's phone rang right after he had begged them to put off their phones, but here you are defending trifling Christians who are without honor and order. They failed to show respect to God and honor for the man of God, so he had to respond to that dishonor by leaving. Afterall, the Bible records in Mark 6:5 that Jesus himself couldn't do any mighty deeds in his hometown die to the people's lack of honor, and he had to eventually leave abruptly. This man did exactly what the Lord would have done.

[@anaisbateza2924]

OK, I was actually there in person and I’ll give you my perspective, no judging. There was A LOT of distraction when the first preacher was teaching, you really had to force yourself to be focused because we were placed in the basement instead of the main room of the church and people kept standing up and moving around. Even though all that distraction happened , the preacher still gave his message and it was truly a blessing to me. Now, I believe that as Christian we need to stop over spiritualise things and stay focused on what is actually important. My point is it was rude to leave the pulpit like that doesn’t matter what the reason is. You could see the disappointment in people’s faces that left their homes expecting to be blessed by the man of God. I was sitting next to an older lady who was up since 5am and directly went to the conference after work. It is simply rude and inconsiderate, don’t try to explain it because he is an apostle. He is a man and can be arrogant. How can a phone ringing cut the flow of your anointing? There are no scriptures to support this. He was just annoyed by the phone ring, that’s all.

I personally support discipline in any sphere. However, the church is open to everyone (disciplined and indisciplined) based on the demands of the great commission. While we need rules in order to maintain order, there will always be new people who will visit the church for the first time and break these rules. We cant hold the souls we are trying to reach to the same standards that we hold ourselves. The program looks like a big program that may attract foreigners and first timers . This group of people may not necessarily care about decorum, but we also cannot shut the gospel or a moment impartation out simply because a first timer or unbeliever misbehaved a few times. If our rules are not flexible enough to accommodate the babyish nature of unbelievers, how do we reach them? Or are we now saying Christian meetings are to be attended only by seasoned Christians and believers who have over the years sat under sound teachings? If you know the scripture well, you know that this defeats the core message of the gospel. Am I suggesting indiscipline in the presence of God? NO! We should uphold our principles at all times, but if you want to represent and preach the gospel, you will need patience to deal with people. Sometimes this will require flexibility and that, is not a sign of weakness.

[@sarahmuthamaki5845]

You are not an intercessor. What Apostle is saying is truly true, any distraction can cut out the flow. By the way, go to court room when it's in session and the judge is seated and let your phone ring. You will be thrown in jail. So your god deserves less than the worldly people. I pity you.

[@sarahmuthamaki5845]

@curiocityplus8704 It's not about flexibility. It's accountability. Because once the flow of anointing is disrupted you can do nothing. That's why the Bible says be still and know that I am the LORD. David says in psalm somewhere that I have quited my soul like a weaned child. The Holy Spirit is very sensitive to distractions, He will just go. Getting that flow again takes alot.

[@curiocityplus8704]

@sarahmuthamaki5845 What's the essence of the flow of the anointing if it does not end up drawing lost people to God. It is shallow to expect everyone to behave the way we expect them to behave. This does not mean that we accept indiscipline. Walking off the stage defeats the purpose of the whole gathering. Do you know how many people killed other activities just to be at that program?

Firstly, The pastor of the church said (on day 3) that he was pressing his phone on the second day to tell ushers to coordinate everywhere. The pastor and Rev Austin admitted there were many distractions that day One perspective is how it affects Arome's anointing, the other is, those kind of behavior are not to be tolerated. Arome was Kano barracks for a while so he probably learnt disciple and how to be coordinated in a public setting, something that everyone in church should replicate. Lastly, the person who had oversight on this matter is the pastor of the church and he wasn't vexed, instead he enforced the no phone rule on the third day.

Analysing the events that transpired in that program through the lens of 1 Cor 13 , the facts that can be established are 1. Arome didnt exercise Patience. 2. Arome wasn't kind to the congregation by walking out on them cos I am sure many would have come from long distance to hear him. 3. He displayed Pride/Lordship as against Submission/Servanthood. 4. He dishonored the congregation by walking out on them because of the misdemeanor of 1 person. 5. He was self-seeking by punishing the congregation because someone violated his own/doctrine. Putting phone off or in silent mode is not God's commandment but Arome's doctrine. God's commandments are universal. Many men of God minister even when phone rings in their services. 6. Arome displyed that he was someone who is easily angered. phone ringing the 2nd time was not a sufficient reason for a spiritual man to be triggered.. 7. His behavior confirmed that Arome keeps record of wrongs. 8. He failed to exercise the virtue of Perseverance. In one sentence, I would describe Arome Osayi as someone who practices Religious Love as against the Spiritual Love Apostle Paul talked about in 1 Cor 13 " If I speak in the tongues[a] of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,[b] but do not have love, I gain nothing. 4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Once we have done our part we should leave the rest for God. 2.The other important thing to note is No one received the anointing or Holyspirit because he/worked.

@@BeingRealGeorge I listened to it from beginning to the end and I appreciate the fact that you did your research by going to the source rather than jumping from pillar to post without getting the facts like popular blogs do. Kudos on that. And you're right on not confusing emotions with the Anointing. You're also right about the Anointing breaking the yoke. Could this yoke here be indiscipline? As a person I dislike the idea of people being indisciplined and thinking they have the option to choose the form, manner or shape of discipline they get for their indiscipline. That's what I see from this case.

@ you are right… about the yoke of indiscipline. But it should be noted that Arome Walked out not God and knowing the spirit of the prophet is subject to him and we are not spiritual zombies.

I see this more of discipline, which would come under corrections, rebuke etc as the Scriptures admonishes. What i have realised also is such may be usual with that environment and has been overlooked by it's leaders. The Lord Himself demonstrates how serious and distinct we ought to conduct ourselves in the house in order! The use of physical bibles is a much merit. Yet, still to switch off or mute our phones is a respect not only to the leaders but the LORD. If we have much respect and discipline to our earthly authorities, how more the King of Kings Himself? Because we don't see Him present(Matthew18:20). Another scenario probably appropriate would be to walk out those persons non-violently! On the issue of anointing being cut off, is something that's not untrue when it comes to Spiritual things and the warfare thereof! Today's church leaders have allowed such things all to please the people.

[@okujaguelisa1427]

When Moses came down from the mount and saw the evil of the people in anger he got the tablet containing the commandments broken. God was not angry with him for his action because he acted in line with God' s feelings over the evil of the people. But when he struck the rock instead of speaking to the rock as God instructed, God judged him. The question is that sincerely speaking, if it were to be Jesus' standing before them, will they allow their phones ring tones to disturbing?

Friend, let me tell you what I think, 35:01 you said if it's God that has led you to preach, you should preach, the distraction notwithstanding. You see, distraction sometimes might arise from unbelief: people looking down on the anointing upon you. It was God who sent Jesus to heal the sick in his home town, but the Bible says, "He could there do no mighty works, save he lay his hands on a few folks." The same way the Lord Jesus could not do mighty works in his home town because of unbelief, distraction so to speak; so Arome could not lead that congratulation in prayer also.

[@shedrachorji1458]

Can we not keep confusing people unnecessarily. The anointing pretty much differs from people's personality. The anointing is Christ, He is the same forever and through everyone. However, since we all are unique and different in our thought patterns, temperament, personality, perceptions, et al, which literally translate to our reactions directly or indirectly. This uniqueness ultimately creates that divergence in how we operate. But it is totally wrong and misleading to say the anointing is different, let it be known that it is the bearers of the anointing that acts differently. Like I said, let us stop confusing people unnecessarily. All these my anointing is different from another man's anointing are honestly wrong communication. We have the same anointing "the Christ". Whether the act of walking away is right or wrong, I leave it to the conscience of you all, however, I would ask, what would Christ have done in that situation?

He had to rebuke it sharply he doesn't do this often though. There must definitely be something odd for a minister of God to react in certain ways.

​@olusolaemmanuel9753 So, you've never read in the Bible that Jesus got to the place of His birth (Nazareth) where He could not perform many miracles or do much of the Kingdom works because the people did not believe in Him. Meaning, he was ridiculed. So, He DID NOT do much because of their ridicule and inbelief! Ok, READ Mark 6:1-6 NKJV Then He went out from there and came to His own country, and His disciples followed Him. And when the Sabbath had come, He began to teach in the synagogue. And many hearing Him were astonished, saying, “Where did this Man get these things? And what wisdom is this which is given to Him, that such mighty works are performed by His hands! Is this not the carpenter, the Son of Mary, and brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? And are not His sisters here with us?” So they were offended at Him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own country, among his own relatives, and in his own house.” Now He could do no mighty work there, except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them. And He marveled because of their unbelief. Then He went about the villages in a circuit, teaching" Unfortunately for my people, "A prophet is indeed without honor among his own country, among his own relatives and in his own house". Our Lord Jesus COULD NOT do much in th mighty works in their midst because of their disposition. In other words, they cut off the flow of His anointing because "they were offended in Him", how much more Arome?

Paul said i have learn to be like a rome when I'm in rome and others... The truth still remain that even in the quiet place the people that will not still get the word won't and nothing can stop the flow of the spirit except one thing which is unbelief. Even Jesus couldn't do much because of their unbelief....

I'm sure that you can also confirm that Jesus instructed His disciples to have the people sit on the grass in companies of 50s and 100s... So it was not like there was disorder in His meetings.

Spiritual discipline is imperative. Effective ministration requires much discipline. I agree that the timing of this admonition was wrong, but the message was right, in my view.

For God is not a God of disorder but of peace-as in all the congregations of the Lord’s people.” (1 Corinthians 14:33)

THIS MAN LITERALLY BEGGED THE CONGREGATION TO PUT OFF THEIR PHONES AND SOMEONE'S PHONE RANG RIGHT AFTER!! I'M NOT SORRY, BUT THE HOUSE OF GOD IS A PLACE OF HONOR AND REVERENCE FOR GOD AND THE VESSELS HE USES TO MINISTER TO US, NOT A CLUB WHERE YOU GET TO DO WHATEVER YOU WANT. WE CAN'T KEEP ALLOWING TRIFLING CHRISTIANS TO DISREGARD THE PLACE OF HONOR IN THE HOUSE OF GOD.

A lecturer at UNN made students rather drop their phones at home instead of being sent out of class when their phones would give that switch off tone as she enters the class. That taught me to drop my phone at home when going to Church.

The pastor that invited Arome said, after the offering, we would receive the ministry of Apostle. Which means, he was meant to minister. If he chose to pray thats on him, In conferences, more than one message is expected. This is a conference and has lots of minister. He chose to go through that route of leading prayer and to establish coordinates for ehich he would lead prayers. I believe anyone who attends conferenecs know these things

[@PaterTurfan]

Apostle needs to be calming down. A lot of ppl are looking up to him. There are a lot of ppl in that gathering. If hes ministering in a stadium and diff phones rang. Will he walk away. Tolerance is key. He needs to be more tolerant. Unbelievers will come ro his meetings who dont understand or respect these protocos. Will he still leave. Lets forgive him cos hes human. But he can do better

[@OdumeBlessing-x3g]

Now I understand, Apst was not going to preach, he was going to pray and move in the prophetic office which requires high level of sensitivity and slight distraction can affect your connection Please let’s not cast stone on him the man of God is indeed a man of the Spirit I love you Apst Arome you are a blessing

[@LoveIsong]

we need to be very careful what we allow to prevent us from reaching out with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Cast your mind back to the apostles in the bible, and the trauma they went through just so they can preach the gospel. Someone like Paul was beaten and left for dead and as soon as he got up he preached, suffered a shipwreck, was bitten by a snake, was in chains in prison, etc yet under these terrible dehumanizing conditions they preached. Even today, as we speak, missionaries are in remote areas of the world, under severe conditions, yet they preach this gospel of Jesus Christ. Some are right in the middle of busy places such as markets, traffic with blaring horns, and other chaotic places. Even as the noise and madness rage, they still preach the gospel. Now pastor Arome Osayi stood in such a conducive environment with a microphone in his hand and couldn't preach the gospel of Jesus Christ because of a ringtone.

[@CGSCRIPTS]

He was justified.. He didn't walk out! If you can't turn your phone off to listen to the word of God, stay home! Would you have your phone on at an important work meeting? So why OK to do so, in the house of God. Some of these people aren't serious about their walk with God and it shows! 🙄 I have respect for Apostle Arome Asayi; he reveres God and isn't here for "popularity". This is what a fear of God looks like! As Philippians says, we need to Work out our own salvation, with fear and trembling!

[@christ-Revealed]

was it the phone of the church that rang or one person

[@adewaleolaseni8278]

Will Jesus walk out on believers? This is the human side of Arome...just pray for him that pride will not consume his soul. Its a warning signal

[@levykekana5745]

Spiritual matters thrives under what Mr Osaye..? What happened to tolerance and patience. .. the whole church can suffer because of one person who happened to unintentionally left the phone on ..? Sometimes we like drama unnecessarily
