While preaching in church recently, the cleric said he felt insulted by people he described as ‘’junior ministers' condemning him for having a tattoo.
Lagos-based Nigerian pastor, Kingsley Okonkwo has criticized “junior pastors” who took issue with him for having a tattoo.
While preaching in church recently, the cleric said he felt insulted by people he described as ‘’junior ministers' condemning him for having a tattoo.
The clergyman who recently turned fifty, said there is ‘’ranking in the spirit'' and so it is an insult on him for junior pastors to be condemning him for having a tattoo.
In his words: ’Interestingly, it is only one or two ministers from the videos I saw about my tattoo issue that were grounded and sound enough to understand it, Most of them are the religious people.
"Every interpretation they gave, they couldn't say tattoo is a sin. Even if you are a basic Christian, you know tattoo is not a sin.
"What I noticed about those pastors is that they said ‘Oh, Tattoo is not a sin and then they used the popular scripture ’is it expedient? why did you post it?'
"Stupid talk! and I am insulted because there is ranking in the spirit. My junior can't talk when I am talking. There is ranking in the spirit''.
