I slept late on friday night due to personal stuff I was doing till around 12:30 before going to bed. I was awaken by the noise of a speaker coming from 2 women preaching outside my compound around after 5. After turning restlessly for about 30min trying to get back to sleep, I had to stand up for my morning devotion. While I was praying I could hardly hear my self cos the noise was so deafening. After praying I went outside my compound to confront them, while she was still preaching I went to talk to the other woman explaining my grievances. She apologise and send they will soon be through. Now here is my question, isn't it wrong to disturb peoples sleep biblically because u want to preach the word of God?. Can't they wait till morning to preach where people can listen and pay attention to the preaching. I want someone to tell me if there is justification for disturbing peoples sleep to preach irrespective of how the person feels cos they make it look like I hate the word of God... Pls no sentimental judgement, I need someone to back up their action biblically...Thank you!

No, your action isn't wrong. That attitude of so many Christians is very unfair and annoying.
When I'm in my house, I should be able to relax, watch TV, sleep, do whatever I want without people bothering me.
If they really felt the need to preach, would it have killed them to wait till 7am?
I'm in this situation in my house too, there's a fire/brimstone church two houses away that keeps people up all night.

Your approach was right. I'm a Christian and I must register my displeasure at the fact that most of these so-called Evangelists lack wisdom and the proper way of going about things. Some don't want to know your state at that period, which ought not to be. I travelled to another state within the country last week and an elderly woman beside me opened a polythene bag, brought out some tracts and told me 'take, share it' without courtesy! I felt disgusted and was angry. I was close to squeezing the tract and throwing it out of the window. Such is the case of insensitive Christians today.

My compound is sandwich between 2 churches..I remember complaining to a friend about the noise and my inability to sleep when their night vigil is being held, he said I shud go and join them and stop complaining...I want a biblical backing to justify their action cos I hate for people to think I hate the word of God all because I want to sleep..Still waiting for my brother's and sister in the lord to help me out with this. More comment will be appreciated

You did the right thing. God may have been trying to tell them wat u just told them but they ignored Him until they bcame convinced shoutng their preaching and generally being a nuisance was the key .

The Bible terms such ones as hypocrites.

I wonder why they can't do their ish silently

..The painful part is, no one wud be woken up abruptly from sleep due to noise and they expect the person to listen or pay attention to the preaching.

I once woke up 2 in the midnight one day after a hard day work, I was so tired and sleeping when the noise became on bearable,I had to go inside the church and ask them to turn down the volume of their speaker. Surprisingly, it was only 4 people in the church..I was so livid that I control all my temper not to insult them

When one complain, it will look as if u are a devil or u don't like God...the noise pollution is just becoming too much...I remember while I was in sch, a pastor went to the front of a compound whom are masquerade worshiper to preach the gospel, they came out with cain and they flog the living day light outer of him. I wish they can enforce the law, if one want to preach, a person can do it during day time where people can listen and pay attention rather than use it to disturb one's sleep
