The priest is seen with his Ak47 rifle strapped to his shoulders as he carries out his ministry to his congregation.

Some Nigerians reacting to the photo have commended the clergy man for being alert in church.

Others however, faulted the priest for carrying a gun in the Cathedral.

They said the priest lacked the courage to believe that God can fight his battles.

Another group suggested that carrying guns to places of worship could help reduce insecurity in the country.
Where do you stand on the issue, do you think carrying guns to places of worship is the solution to insecurity in the country?

But looking at his boots, I think he's a soldier

You are not, because you don't understand spiritual things

[size=15pt]Let the Bible Speak! [/size](Nehemiah 4:15-23, NIV) Remember Sanballat, Tobiah, the Arabs, and the Ammonites?

"15 When our enemies heard that we were aware of their plot and that God had frustrated it, we all returned to the wall, each to our own work.

16 From that day on, half of my men did the work, while the other half were equipped with spears, shields, bows and armor. The officers posted themselves behind all the people of Judah 17 who were building the wall. Those who carried materials did their work with one hand and held a weapon in the other, 18 and each of the builders wore his sword at his side as he worked. But the man who sounded the trumpet stayed with me.

19 Then I said to the nobles, the officials and the rest of the people, “The work is extensive and spread out, and we are widely separated from each other along the wall. 20 Wherever you hear the sound of the trumpet, join us there. Our God will fight for us!”

21 So we continued the work with half the men holding spears, from the first light of dawn till the stars came out. 22 At that time I also said to the people, “Have every man and his helper stay inside Jerusalem at night, so they can serve us as guards by night and as workers by day.” 23 Neither I nor my brothers nor my men nor the guards with me took off our clothes; each had his weapon, even when he went for water."

According to Ecclesiastes 3:1, 8; "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens:
....a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace."
