The presiding pastor of the Abuja chapter of the House on the Rock, Pastor Uche Aigbe, on Sunday caused a stir when he mounted the pulpit carrying an AK 47 rifle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The incident happened during the second service, which often draws a sizable congregation from throughout the Federal Capital Territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The pastor approached the altar while brandishing the weapon as many people in the congregation exchanged looks to attempt to figure out what was going on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aigbe did not flinch as he approached the podium; he was conscious of the tension his behavior had produced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As he made attempt to open his Bible, the preacher looked up and said, \u201cSome people are looking for my trouble. And I came here prepared for anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cToday, there are some pastors with gift of divination who go about ripping people. This is why we should carry our \u2018guns\u2019 and defend ourselves. I will particularly be coming very soon for some of you sleeping in the church.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His response threw the entire gathering into a fit of laughter as he continued preaching on \u201cGuarding your hearts from false teachers\u201d and \u201cfaith without work is dead.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, it was unknown if the gun he was brandishing was loaded or not.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
