Why I angrily left the pulpit during sermon after phone interruption – Pastor Arome Osayi addresses backlash
  • Pastor Arome Osayi ignited a fiery storm of reactions, largely fueled by outrage, after he dramatically stormed off the pulpit in the middle of his sermon, when a phone call blared through the quiet congregation.
  • In an intense follow-up service, Pastor Osayi wasted no time addressing the firestorm his actions had sparked.
  • With unshaken passion and a tone laced with righteous anger, he laid bare the reason for his abrupt departure, unapologetically defending his reaction.

Pastor Arome Osayi, founder of the Remnant Christian Network, recently ignited a blaze of mixed reactions after his dramatic walkout from the pulpit, leaving his congregation in an unexpected and uncomfortable silence.

In the viral footage, Pastor Osayi was invited to minister at a church service and had barely started delivering his sermon when, out of nowhere, a phone rang loudly through the congregation, interrupting the sacred moment.

The pastor, with stern resolve, warned that such a disruption would not be tolerated again, made it clear that he would not stand for disrespecting the sanctity of worship.

But before he could even finish addressing the first incident, another phone rang, and that was the tipping point. Without hesitation, Pastor Osayi walked off the pulpit in utter frustration, left the entire congregation in shock as he returned to his seat.

The response to his walkout was swift and polarizing. On one hand, critics blasted his actions, calling it an overblown display of pride. On the other hand, a segment of the church community rallied behind him, praising the pastor for drawing a line in the sand.

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.
