In the footage, Pastor Ogbueli is seen addressing the instrumentalists and choristers from the front of the congregation, criticising them for what he described as a failure to discern when to stop playing their instruments during worship.
Pastor Explains His Position
While speaking, the cleric cautioned the music team by drawing comparisons with what he described as heavenly order in the presence of God. He told the instrumentalists that excessive or ill-timed playing was inappropriate during certain moments of worship.
In the video, Pastor Ogbueli is heard saying that worship in heaven is marked by reverence and stillness, adding that everyone, including heavenly beings, is said to be in total submission during such moments.
His remarks, which referenced personal spiritual experiences, quickly sparked discussions online.
Warning Issued to Music Team
Pastor Ogbueli further warned the instrumentalists that disciplinary action could follow if similar incidents occur again. According to the video, he stated that members of the music team could face up to six months’ suspension if they fail to adhere to instructions during services.
