Nigerian Pastor Trends After Sending Drummer Out for Interrupting His Sermon, Telling Him, "Leave That Place"

A video of Apostle Femi Lazarus of Light Nation Church ordering a drummer to leave the altar has sent social media users into a frenzy.

The cleric got vexed after the drummer hit the drums during his ministration, interrupting him in the process.

Facing the drummer, while on the altar, Apostle Femi said:

“Stop that. Get off from here. Leave that place.”

Seconds later, the cleric turned back and demanded the drummer leave the place after turning back to still find him seated there.

Some people faulted the pastor for embarrassing the drummer, while others defended his action.

A video of the cleric ordering the drummer out was posted on TikTok by @gistfinderng, and it went viral.

Netizens give their thoughts about Apostle Femi Lazarus’ reaction after his drummer interrupted him during ministration:

@S L Y D E :

“If I was the drummer drummer I will stand up and not come back again to that auditorium…. But I am a keyboardist so this can never happen … Me and the pastor are always together in the spirit.”

@Sir Mhayour:

“Why didn’t y’all tell Jesus to go apologize to those selling and buying at the temple coz there’s a better way to handle the issue… There is something called submission in spirituality.”

@tumainiprint0:

“One of the problem with our generation is that we hate rebuke. If your boss talks to you like this, will you quit your job? You won’t even say a word but if it’s church. We will walk out.”

@provost_0:

“Apostle Femi Lazarus had his eyes closed and was accessing realms for information. The drummer’s outburst disturbed his journey and the atmosphere because spiritual dealings are frequencies.”

iamkingdomboi:

“It’s obvious the MD cued them in. There’s a better way to say “stop the music” without embarrassing the drummer. Cos, it’s AFL now, his wrong is being excused, lol.”

@micheal Tochukwu:

“Sometimes my pastor doesn’t like us playing when he is doing some certain spiritual things, but he doesn’t speak in that manner, instead he just says thank you instrumentalists; we know to stop.”

@Sinach:

“I am a drummer, I understand what the drummer there was trying to do, there are sounds to make during a prophetic session, but the drummer made the wrong sound. A mild crash of cymbals would have been.”
