Evangelist Isaac Josiah, the presiding pastor of Reclaimers Ministry in Benin, Edo State, has caused commotion on social media after a viral video captured him distributing bras, wrappers, pyjamas, and other modest apparel in his church.
The viral video, from his sermon and posted on the church’s Facebook page, showed the clergyman delivering a fiery rebuke against what he described as the indecent dressing of many female members of the congregation.
In his bid to curb the trend, which he claimed had distracted many men during church services, Mr Josiah handed out bras, wrappers, and pyjamas to be given to any woman who turned up to church in what he deemed inappropriate attire
He said, “Those days when a believer told you, ‘It’s twelve o’clock, it’s twelve o’clock,’ it was because of the heart. Heart posture: if you have the right heart, you won’t wear something to seduce people in the church. Where are the ushers? Bring my apparatus. Brother Osase, Eric, and Chimere, you are the door. From today, any girl who enters this church and we see her nipple, we will give her a bra and say, ‘We have discovered that you can’t afford a bra. So, on behalf of the church, we give you this.’
If we can’t change you in this church, look for another church. Look at me, I’m a young man. I want to make heaven. Somebody called us last week and said a guy came to church and was distracted. People come from their homes to church, looking for where God will help them. If you give any sister whose nipple is showing a bra and she refuses, call her and ask, ‘How much is a tricycle to your house?’ So, Brother Eric, Osase and Chimere, on behalf of the church, we ordain you as our disciplinarians from today.”
The clergyman further condemned women who wore revealing outfits to church. He also cautioned young men against wearing trousers slung low on their waists, exposing their undergarments in the house of God.
