The matters arising for inside the country now na only the violent one go take am by force. If we fold hand the only look water go pass garri finish. For that pastor to hold gun inside church den it should vividly express his level of frustrations from the country he find himself as a citizen.
Although the gun no be the pastor own and him no bring am from house come d church, na one church member wey be police officer get the gun the pastor just requested for it to use for an illustration inside the church on what he was preaching that very Sunday as a topic.
Topic: Pastor brings riffle to church (Read 99 times)
Please correct me if am wrong but I think something like this has never happened before in this country and this should be the very first time a pastor is bringing a gun to church.
That pastor surname self resemble one of our guy here weh be Aigbe. I no know if they are related or na just coincidence. I saw something similar in the north like 3 or 4 years ago when those Boko Haram boys were on rampage and some pastors in the north begin carry AK 47 enter church. But nobody arrested anybody for that then. Abi na photo shop be all that thing that time?
I've my thoughts on this subject and it can be found in 2 Cor 10:4
"For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds" (NKJ)

That portion of the bible deh talk about spiritual warfare o, no be physical fight. And na part of the thing weh deh make Christians no deh like fight physically, instead they will follow the matter up with prayer. Na spiritual deh conquer physical first.
Mate, no be new thing o, for military barracks pastors wey be military officers dey carry gun. Mostly war turn zones were soldiers and officers are posted that is where our will see such happening. Nobody would wake up in the morning with his or her senses going to church with gun as such. It is not normal but for safety reasons they do it more especially at war zones were every one needs to be at alert. So I see no reason for this picture because they might likely be at military base so that warrants him to carry his arms in other to protect him or herself.
If he is illustrating the word of God, why should he use a gun to do that. If he is teaching about when Jesus Christ fed 5000 men with two loaves bread and five fishes,will he demonstrate this by feeding his church members ? This pastor never talk the truth why he carry gun come church.All these na signs of end time,a pastor is to discourage his church members to stay away fr fire arms because of its implications and it is an unlawful act. Instead,this one dey teach him members how to carry gun. So many kind of people don dey use church dey do so many atrocities these days all in the name of pastor.

All the time I have been to church, in teaching the word of God, many illustrations are drawn from the past incidents of Christ on earth, the prophets, and the disciples of Jesus, and most of those incidents are related to human life or situations humans are faced with. The word of God can be taught with some illustration from movies, either through the project or TVs in the church, but coming to the pulpit to preach the word of God with a gun is something terrible because it may cause some people to lose focus when hearing the word of God that was meant to be heard, and the church members' attention will be totally drawn to the gun. Even if the pastor is a soldier, I believe he should have some other armed soldiers that should be garrisoned in the church premises instead of the pastor coming to the alter with his gun. In my opinion, it is a wrong act.
There nothing that we will not see or hear in this country called nigeria.and my question is what is really happening in this country, because we are not fighting war here in this country but with what I am seeing we are fighting war indirectly.to the extents a man of God come to church with AK-47 to preach the gospel of God The members, what a shame to this country..and that is to tell you that we are no longer save in this country,but sometimes I ask myself if man of God can go to this extents of trying to protect his life and that of his family even when he or she claims to be called by God to serve him and he or she receives a message directly from God and still seeking other means of protection, what do you expect members to do and this this our leaders should have think about, because this pastor shouldn't have done this kind of a thing no matter what, because I was expecting all this Men of God to stand on their ground and speak against all this evil and insecurities in the country and stop taking bribes, speak about the bad government because this is the cause of insecurities in the country.. because this is a disgrace to Christianity..

E gud as you tok say that nah for military areas and zones. But this na notable pentecostal church and I wan ask you, e get wia you don see such illustration? See Mai yarn you Tori you no know; most of the things wey dey hapn now na somtin we sopoz use learn say tym no dey for the world again. So many funny tins dey hapn. So becos bible say "the weapons of our warfare are not carnal" nai e rush go bring gun? Wetin him dey prove? As e be the contri no get joy and this nah the worst kind of example e sopoz show. Lai dis members go carry gun becos pastor do so.
For this matter e, the current situation of the country, for me everybody is looking for a way to survive so, i feel is why things of that nature are happening,
Finally we are in a rough country, and we need to hustle in order to meet up to our needs.

“Some people are looking for my trouble. And I came here prepared. Today, there are some pastors with the gift of divination who go about ripping people off. This is why we should carry our ‘guns’ and defend ourselves. I will particularly be coming very soon for some of you sleeping in the church,” he said as the church erupted in laughter.
The church statement reads: “On Sunday, February 12, a resident pastor of House on the Rock, Abuja Church, Pastor Uche Aigbe in a message about fighting the good fight with spiritual weapons, carried an unloaded gun to illustrate his message on ‘Guarding your Faith.’
“Without hesitation, Pastor Uche has acknowledged the gravity of his actions and apologises unreservedly for them. As a church, House on the Rock rejects all forms of violence and we stand on the good news gospel of Jesus Christ which embraces peace and goodwill for all of mankind. We are cooperating fully with the authorities as they carry out their investigations into this incident, and we will continue to engage internally to ensure this break in protocol does not happen again.”

I don't really know what message he was trying to send by bringing a riffle to church. Nigeria is very fragile, and we don't need this. I would really like to hear your take on this.
