Pastor Arome Osayi Addresses Backlash, Reveals Why He Angrily Left the Pulpit During Sermon After Phone Interruption

Pastor Arome Osayi, founder of the Remnant Christian Network, has become the center of a heated discussion following his unexpected exit from the pulpit during a recent church service.

In a viral video, Pastor Osayi was invited to deliver a sermon but faced interruptions shortly after beginning. The first disruption occurred when a phone rang loudly within the congregation, cutting through the solemn atmosphere. Visibly displeased, the pastor sternly warned against further interruptions, emphasizing the need to respect the sanctity of worship.

However, moments later, another phone rang, shattering the atmosphere once again. This appeared to be the breaking point for Pastor Osayi, who abruptly walked off the pulpit in frustration and returned to his seat, leaving the congregation stunned.

The incident has triggered mixed reactions across social media and church communities. Critics have labeled his actions as excessive and prideful, arguing that he could have handled the situation more calmly. Meanwhile, supporters praised the pastor for upholding the sanctity of worship and sending a strong message about reverence during church services.

The dramatic episode has since sparked broader conversations about etiquette and respect in places of worship, highlighting the tension between modern technology and traditional church values.

In a fiery follow-up message delivered at his own church, Pastor Osayi wasted no time addressing the storm his actions had stirred. Standing before his congregation, he unapologetically justified his walkout, spoke with a passion that reverberated through the church walls.

He expressed his disappointment with the modern church’s casual attitude towards disruptions, specifically phone disturbances, which he believes have become too common.

According to the pastor, this incident was not an impulsive outburst but part of a broader commitment to restoring the reverence and discipline that he believes have been lost in many places of worship.

Pastor Arome expressed deep disappointment over the fact that even some ministers of God are guilty of this serious offense before God. He lamented that those who are meant to lead by example have become complacent, allowing such disruptions to go unchecked.
