Op don't mind all the people commenting that u r wrong, maybe u shouldn't have walked out. But those two ushers were wrong for telling u to go to the back, if it was one man influential man in the church dem nor for try that rubbish, that's how most church are, the rich people are favoured more than the poor or middle class. 2 Likes |

Though I don't know how old the op is but am sure if he was 10 years older than his present age, he would have handled this issue differently. It takes maturity to accept corrections and criticism whether in church or social gathering and most time, maturity comes with age |

sipsip:sorry. I pressed the report button when trying to quote you. anyways, I was here to say THUMBS UP MAN.... I attended Winners in Benin some months back and I realized no one is allowed to park in the big premises except Protocol whether you come first or not and it got me pissed. I am a Catholic but I attend other churches sometimes. I once attended House on the Rock in Lagos on the Island and on that particular day, Pastor Paul Adefarasin said sth that made me love that church the more and gladdened my soul. He said " This is God's own house. Not mine, not the rich, nor the poor. no one has a special seat except on the alter. If you want to have a seat in front on the church, you must come early to church. I don't care how much money you've got but of you come to church late and there isn't no seat in front, sit behind. No man is more important than the other in the presence of God." Damn.... That man earned my respect that day.... 1 Like |

Uninformed Christians everywhere criticizing the OP. OP, let me tell you, do not go to a church where there are authorities on where you can or cannot sit, except for security reasons. A church is a body. The body of Christ. It belongs to no one. It is not supposed to be a human establishment where pastors and special people (in the eyes of men) get the FRONT seats. Even all these practice of having special seats for pastors is secular. These were practices of the Pharisees whom Jesus was always criticizing because they were nothing but brood of vipers who claimed the best seats in the synonogues and wore expensive robes. 4 Likes |

I feel you should have simply moved to the back row. However I advise you join the protocol unit so that you can have unlimited access to that front row from time to time. |

sipsip: Truly, its a church and nobody's personal property but it's some people's duty to keep the church organised and safe for everyone to worship. The first usher told you not to seat there and the second confirmed it. That shows the decision was not personal but a collective decision of the entire church leadership. You were wrong, admit it. If everyone in the church behaves the way you did, there'll be no place of worship. Laws exist to ensure decorum and orderliness. |

My brother may God bless you. See all those blaming you claiming ur proud and what not, they're the reason our yahoo pastors are thriving. The Church should never be an establishment where class and segregation exists. As long as the space is free, you should be allowed to seat. It's sad that there is no humility in the church anymore to an extent that people have reserved and designated seats in Church. Bro, go to your pastor, armed with verses from the Bible that preaches against segregation and hierarchy in the church. You have a valid case here. The church is not an organization, it is not an establishment, it is not an empire. The church is a house of worship for sinners and those who have decided to be Christlike. Most importantly, it is the House of God. 2 Likes |

sipsip: Don't mind that guy. That was how I was in a church on the invitation of a friend when the pastor entered with bodyguards (protocols). One of them pushed me out of the way (I was not obstructing the Pastor o). I grabbed him from behind and told him that next time he tried that nonsense with me, I will give him a slap that will make him run into the bush and become a madman forever. I raised my shirt and showed him my charm to let him know that I am a confirmed Ogun priest. 1 Like |

Funny biggcake judge for you not to be judge. Now coming to this young man, why do you allow anger to control you? It is not most you leave the church, that is disobedience to rules. When they said protocols, remember yesterday they also once seated at the back but when there time came they were promoted to the front and that is why when your time come even though if you sit in the you are going to be called upon to please came to the front they are meant for you, so how wish you think fast befor making that decision of leaving you will say one day am also coming here. But because of your yobbish and truculent character you leave the presence of God because of human. Kai you better go and ask for forgiveness so that God will not punish you... Biggcake: |

sipsip:........... My dear having gone through this your write up one can only see a parishoner that really does not know why he is in Church in the first place . I mean, lets say that gsthering is not a Church and an Usher that is meant to order movement and sitting arrangement directs you where to sit, would you get offended and storm out? We tend to be too overbearing when we are in the presence of God. For goodness sakes, you go to Church to seek God, and if truely God is what you seek then being ushered where to sit will and should not be enough to send you out of His presence. |

From the way you are still trying to justify yourself, there is no point telling you that you are right or wrong cos You already have a defence to why you think your reaction was right. This i know "Two Wrongs doesn't make Rights" |

why should they have reserve place for some set of people in the church, my pastor sheared a story how an invited pastor during time for prayers he asked him where are your financial pillars let me pray for them separately then my pastor replied him every body that offers selfless scarifies to the glory of God are the church financial pillars so pray for every body.Is that how it suppose to be, reserving special prayers, special seat, special treatment to special people. who among the members in the church are not special to God and you are here under ratting and wring off the works of God because of money. Honestly church has become gamble. SirAweezy: 1 Like 1 Share |
