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!
It is not compulsory for them to have bodyguards, but to some extent it is necessary, like I said before for crowd control when in public places not because of fear.


God does not pre-arrange untimely death gor His children, He said His thoughts for us is to bring us to an expected end. And about myles Munroe , don't judge a book by its cover........ Public reputation is not the same as being righteous before God, there are a lot of things we don't know so let's not make assumptions.

Going to heaven is good, but fulfilling our days and achieving our purpose of being born should not be sidelined.
So you shouldn't aspire to die untimely because you want to go to heaven.
If coming to earth was not important, you would not be here in the first place. For the sake of emphasis God is after our longevity not the other way round.

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!
hahahahaha

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
Brother, when you have done nothing wrong, you have no need to hide nor any desire to hire guards....
Guards against who or what sefhuh

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.
There was a time in the 90s, every time Pastor Chris goes to the airport to board a plane, a young chap will follow him around and be shouting, "fake Pastor". He did it so many times.......till one day.







Pastor Chris ordered his physical angels to shut the guy up and that's how he stopped it.

The truth is that they are public figures. That man that was harassing Pastor could one day stab him.

If as an individual, you need a bodyguard, please take one. It's not a sin.
Re: Should Pastors Have Bouncers/Bodyguards? by MOSTEC(m): 10:03pm On Nov 22, 2016
Watch what u say/post online. They are called PROTOCOLS and not bodyguards. They are meant to direct people/followers of the pastors.

Peter wen cut person ear na which job he be do if not to guard Jesus. When the woman with the issue of blood wanted to see Jesus wasn't she finding it difficult as Jesus was surrounded with his disciplines and crowd?
Re: Should Pastors Have Bouncers/Bodyguards? by habsydiamond(m): 10:35pm On Nov 22, 2016
As jesus christ no get bodyguards why would men of God need one. God will always protect his anointed ones. Those who use bodyguards are not anointed by God. Na dem call dem selves God no call dem.

Re: Should Pastors Have Bouncers/Bodyguards? by Nobody: 10:47pm On Nov 22, 2016
If you asked if it is good for pastors to have security, I would say yes, it now depends on what name you want to give it, Bouncers, Bodyguards, etc

If they were not having that before, I will suggest it now, when kidnapping is the order of the day.

You see too much of everything is what is bad. That is when you over do things.

For excandle, sorry I mean example grin

I was in Gambia in 2000/2003 and attended Winners Chapel. Bishop Oyedepo came to Gambia Church in 2002 and was preaching the second day he arrived in the Church.
Right in the middle of his sermon a woman stood up in the congregation and started making her way to the pulpit. The resident pastor was shouting stop that woman. stop that woman and the Church security guys were like under spell , were sluggish and the woman almost made her way up if not for the swift response of the resident pastor himself who jumped down to stop the woman and dragged her out of the church.
No one knows her mission. what would have happened if she was not intercepted.

Although Jesus did not call the disciples to be his bodyguards but one of them always acted like that was what he was called to be. Even to the point of forgetting the power carried by master, who needs no help from man .Peter is the overzealous man.
You remember what he did the night they arrested Jesus? he drew his sword and cut of the ear of one of the people manhandling his master.

So to avoid danger on the man of God security is allowed.

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 is DISCIPLES NOT BODYGUARD. Did they carry arms, fight, use arsenals? Jesus and his disciples preached, teach and pray regularly, do these so called men of god and their bodyguards do these? God is watching and their doomsday is comming soon.

Re: Should Pastors Have Bouncers/Bodyguards? by awoluyi(m): 3:16am On Nov 23, 2016
These Pastors need bodyguards for protection as some members of their churches are eyeing the G .O's position which the G.0 too is not ready to relinquish too soon. They need to take measures against weapons of the enemies both within and without. No man wants to die if his treasure is much in the kingdom of earth!

Re: Should Pastors Have Bouncers/Bodyguards? by Kelvouski: 6:36am On Nov 23, 2016
One thing we should here in dis case is......whatever evri1 here said here are all correct in different ways..

Now ask ur sef dis question... Y is it dat pastors who are still striving to b big and popular or are aspiring to av a bigger church has no body guards.......but d ones dat are wealthy and popular...
Now d question is are they both not pastors.....d truth is that ,as men of God,we only nid unarmed pple to help us in d ministry...wen u tok of Paul u see timothy,wen u see elijah u see elisha...wen u see Christ u see d 12...wen Jesus was to feed thousands his disciples were d ones who shared d food not Christ....and wen they were to arest Jesus ,a disciple drew out his knife nd struck d ears of a soldier...jesus quickly rebuked him saying those dat live by sword shall die by d sword....... David said my confidence is in d lord.......in Isaiah it was written .surely they shall gather but its not my doing who Eva shall attack u shall surrender to u.......now pls b4 u guys blasphem d sole aim of d 12 disciples was mainly to assist Christ and to continue after his death.....now do dis bodyguard whom are big chest preach or dy intimidate the weak..........God bless us.

Sorry, they were not bodyguards...
They were disciples he needed to teach, so when he leaves,they wuld continue...
They were not armed... Even wen peter used the sword onthe ears of dat soldier, jesus admonished him, dose whu live by d sword, die by it....
They were disciples NOT BODYGUARDS

Re: Should Pastors Have Bouncers/Bodyguards? by iamcalmbiatchez: 9:04am On Nov 23, 2016
As true Men of God, called by God as they claim, Pastors shouldn't be scared of anything. They shouldn't have need for human protection when they have God Almighty. They shouldn't be scared of what might harm the flesh. They shouldn't be scared of dying. Is it their wealth they are afraid of leaving behind? God is Alive!

Fall into a moving trailer and keep shouting, "no weapon fashioned against me shall prosper".

Your statement means we should not eat, sleep, work, employ aboki for security in estates or take care ourselves because, The LOrd is our Shepherd.

He said, " Occupy till I come". We're just occupying. The real thing is finally getting to heaven and having a security guard DOES NOT stop you from making heaven. I'm assuming I'm talking to a Christian, otherwise, I've just been bleating.
