“Pastor Storms Off Pulpit After Phones Ring—Congregation Left in Awe and Commentary Frenzy” [Video]

The recent church service led by Pastor Arome Osayi turned unexpectedly dramatic when a ringing phone disrupted his sermon not once, but twice. Captured on video and now widely circulated, the incident has ignited spirited discussions across social media platforms....CONTINUE READING>>>

The interruption began when a phone rang during Pastor Osayi’s preaching, disrupting the flow of his message. Visibly annoyed, the pastor warned the congregation that any further disruptions would lead to him ending the sermon. The tension in the room was palpable as attendees took heed of the warning. However, moments later, a second phone rang. True to his word, Pastor Osayi paused, packed his Bible and notes, made a pointed comment about handing the microphone over to the phone owners, and left the pulpit to sit among the congregation, effectively halting the service.

The video of this surprising turn of events has gone viral, sparking a range of reactions:

@iNspiritextra remarked, “90% of people in churches today are not being properly discipled. A sad reality!”

@BN_officially commented, “Imagine Jesus walking off the Sermon on the Mount because of distractions! We need grace, not drama.”

@UnitedPikin expressed support for the pastor’s actions, stating, “He did the right thing. You can’t be in God’s presence with a loud phone—it’s disrespectful!”

On the other hand, @josh__ekwunife questioned, “I get his frustration, but what if it happened at a political summit? Would he react the same way? Emotional intelligence matters.”

Meanwhile, @Mickyy_Beast humorously criticized, “If this is the strategy to win sinners, then mission failed. Oga, sit down!”

Some commenters took a lighthearted approach, comparing the situation to biblical scenarios: “Imagine Jesus walking off before feeding the 5,000 because Peter forgot to silence his phone!”

Others reflected on the balance between upholding reverence in sacred spaces and practicing patience. The incident has sparked dialogue about how leaders handle disruptions and the expectations placed on congregants to maintain decorum during services.

The viral moment underscores a broader conversation about respect, grace, and the nature of leadership in moments of frustration.
