If Jesus used 12 disciples/bodyguards during his time how much more mere mortals. I don't see why pastors cannot use more.


D 12 disciples are not guards. Read your bible.

Well dey can have security men but not an extravagant one to curb pple excesses

They don't keep bodyguard's because of fear but for the sake of caution, for crowd control when they are in public places. Even Jesus did so too. If any top pastor in Nigeria decides to move about freely on the street, they will definitely be mobbed.

It's not a Pastor thing, It's a thing other famous personalities do to avoid causing unnecessary commotion.

They were not necessarily called guards but that was part of their assignments as His disciples.

Yes they need it to protect themselves


But they will tell you. You are covered with the blood of Jesus
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.

A genuine pastor who preaches the true gospel and points people to Christ will not be mobbed.

Why mob the vessel, when i have the Word in its fullness.

that shows the god they serve is not able to protect them.

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?

Why not,even the lord of lowds needed bodyguards: Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” 37 He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to be sorrowful and troubled. 38 Then he said to them, “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death.Stay here and keep watch over me.(Matthew 26:36-46)

they were not. Even when some of them wants to act like one, he warn them of the actions. He told them it's not his will but the will of his father in heaven. He has power to deliver himself during trouble.
Re: Should Pastors Have Bouncers/Bodyguards? by Nobody: 6:29pm On Nov 22, 2016
sure why not...given the spate of insecurity in the country.but it shouldnt be too showy.Yes even Jesus disciples also acted as bodyguards of sorts for him.
Re: Should Pastors Have Bouncers/Bodyguards? by Nobody: 6:32pm On Nov 22, 2016
What if I told you that all pastors with body guards are in one sore of society or the other and they need body guards to protect them against their own occult member because they are afraid that one day they will be hunted by those they actually eat and dine with in the night under the umbrella of Men of GOD

BEWARE OF FAKE PASTORS !!!! YOU ARE WARNED

I AM A CHRISTIAN BUT I TELL YOU BRETHREN I KNOW PASTORS WHOM I CAN RELATE WITH THAT STORY ABOVE with

NOT ALL MEN OF GOD ARE REAL BUT SOME BLINDED CAPTIVATED CHRISTIANS WILL STILL WORSHIP BLINDLY AT THEIR CHURCH ALL IN because they are too obsessed to see the truth

There was a story in the Bible where a woman in the Bible asked Christ to heal her daughter, initially, the disciples tried to subdue her but Christ said nothing until she persisted

The same thing happened in the case of blind bartemaeus,

*they were not called bodyguards but you can't deny the fact that they helped in crowd control and acted like bodyguards especially in public places

Pastors don't need bodyguards coz they have nothing to fear nor hide but thieves do!! Those that have nothing to preach but "tithes"....and don't giv a fhuck even if u r starving, just pay ur fhuckin tithes !! These one really do need special forces as guards coz what other option do I have when they fly private jets and drive bugattis ...... NO LOVE for such mugus!
Brother you are wrong oooo, whether you are the best man on earth or you are worse, you must still posses an enemy... If you overlook enemy u might regret it yourself... Don't say because God is protecting you, you should now use a banana rope to climb a palm tree... You will definitely fall

Then why do you still eat other breads, even when Christ said he is the bread of life?

Pls Don't misinterpret scriptures out of context, Christ being our shepherd does not mean will should stop using common sense
Other wise we would go against the commandment that warns Us of tempting God

this one is a different thing entirely from bodyguarding. it takes the spirit to understand things of the spirit.

NOT "keep watch over me", it is keep watch WITH ME" (Matthew 26:40) and the usage is like "watch and pray lest you fall into TEMPTATION" (NOT "fall into the hand of armed robbers or assassins"

And He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "So, you men could not keep watch with Me for one hour?"

It is even not correct. Checked many translations, it is "watch with me"
