It was a mix of drama, suspense, and sheer disbelief at a church service led by Pastor Arome Osayi, when he abruptly ended his sermon after a phone rang during his preaching—not once, but twice.

The moment, captured on video, has since gone viral, sparking intense debate online.

The initial disturbance occurred when a phone blared, interrupting the pastor’s flow. Clearly irritated, Pastor Osayi issued a stern warning to the congregation, cautioning them that another interruption would force him to stop preaching.

The tension in the room was palpable. But as fate would have it, a second phone rang just moments later. True to his word, Pastor Osayi calmly packed his Bible and sermon notes, delivered a pointed remark about turning the microphone over to the phone owners, and left the pulpit.

To the utter amazement of the attendees, he then joined the congregation, essentially halting the service.

The viral footage has sparked heated debates online, with reactions ranging from outright support to humorous criticism:

• @iNspiritextra: “90% of people in churches today are not being properly discipled. A sad reality!”

• @BN_officially: “Imagine Jesus walking off the Sermon on the Mount because of distractions! We need grace, not drama.”

• @UnitedPikin: “He did the right thing. You can’t be in God’s presence with a loud phone—it’s disrespectful!”

• @josh__ekwunife: “I get his frustration, but what if it happened at a political summit? Would he react the same way? Emotional intelligence matters.”

• @Mickyy_Beast: “If this is the strategy to win sinners, then mission failed. Oga, sit down!”

Humorously, some compared the incident to hypothetical biblical scenarios, with quips like, “Imagine Jesus walking off before feeding the 5,000 because Peter forgot to silence his phone!”

Others reflected on the need for patience and grace, echoing the sentiment that leaders should exercise restraint, even in frustrating situations.
