Gud morning and happy sunday.
It has come 2 my notice that a lot of pastor now have bodyguard, and the only question dat crept into my mind is:

What is a pastor scared of?

Let go back to the time of jesus, even with how the pharisee,tax collector and idol worshipper hated him, he never resort to human protection but God's.

The reason for creatiing is to ask ur view concern pastor bodyguarding.

That is Bishop Idahosa of Illumination Assembly, Badore/Ado road along with Bishop Ayo Oritsejafor. Abi do you worship there too ?

If Jesus used 12 disciples/bodyguards during his time how much more mere mortals. I don't see why pastors cannot use more.
when do their so called 'disciples' sit under them to be tutor like pupils?...stop making blasphemous analogy!

Men of Man like Papa Iron Oritsejafor are prisonEr in their own freedom. I am no surprise to see the picture of the bling bling 2pac shakur Pastor on this tread.

Looking at his golden throne like that of Sultan of Sokoto is enough to criticize him and his ministry.

Yet he will tell his church memebers to cover their selves with the blood of Jesus while he soak himself in the midst of Armed Mobile Police. Anyway, they always have a verse in the bible to back up their wrong doings.

Let me digress a little. What's the meaning of your username ? I caught my attention.

Op one question. Do ambassadors do they have security? Don't government give certain top government workers security.? OK.
We are ambassadors of Christ. I don't know if you are Christian but me I want Body guards. David , Solomon and Abraham, Daniel, they had.
Op your Christianity is dulling.
but since you used to make mumu meter I'm sure you are well learned in mumulogy as for me I measure wisdom in people and there is no sense to your post. and I'm only replying cuz I want to save your mind.

Even Christ was mobbed(that was what the woman with the issue of blood took as an advantage to touch him).Are you saying he didn't preach the true gospel?
He is the only one that was supposed to be mobbed cos he is the fullness of God in bodily form. He alone deserves this. Everyother person getting mobbed should be angry and rebuke people for that not getting armed men.

As a Christian, I hope you know that you are a reflection of Christ, just the same way Christ is the fullness of God in bodily form, so also we are the fullness of Christ in bodily form so we can't help but command the authority he commands.

Christ sent us to do far greater than He did, to command greater attention than he did, which makes it impossible for us not to be mobbed considering the fact that you become a public figure.

Seeing ourselves as slaves and unworthy to attain celebrity status is a big contradiction to Christs Instruction to us : let your light so shine that men may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

They tell you to believe God can protect you. Yet they go in bulletproof cars, bodyguards and military protecting them. Do they believe in God's protection? Hell No!
Re: Should Pastors Have Bouncers/Bodyguards? by southernbelle(f): 8:14pm On Nov 22, 2016
Lol, another twist.
I'm just getting to understand that Jesus' disciples also doubled as bodyguards, and so the issue of pastors having armed and fierce-looking bodyguards is justified.
How convenient!

Its fun anyway. But am of the opinion that there is no need (call) for Armed Body Guards for Pastors or Men of God generally... My people say that: "Iwa omo lo mo omo shay okigbe"... meaning 'your character prompts you to seek traditional bulletproof'. As far as am concerned, if you believe in the security of God, security men will be useless. And if God says one (probably a man of God) will die thru bullet or assassination, he can never escape it. Munroe did not die peacefully na, and he was a (good) servant of God. As a believer (most esp. man of God, you should know that if peradventure you are being attacked or killed by human beings, the kingdom of His Highness should be more paramount to you, so whats the essence of security men? my view tho!

Re: Should Pastors Have Bouncers/Bodyguards? by Nobody: 8:34pm On Nov 22, 2016
Well.. if they do not have any faith or trust in their God, then they may need body guard and if they are also paranoid because they have been conning and telling lies to their congregation? Then they need even more body guard, and if they do not believe in what they have been preaching to the congregations themselves, then they need a batalion of army to protect them.

but wait o! If heaven is real as they ve been preaching ( telling lies) then why are they afraid to die and go to heaven Perhaps they do not believe heaven exist or they are not sure they will go to heaven tongue why are they putting their trust in bodyguards? Body guards are humans who can be destroyed too.
