‘Stop embarrassing me, stop wasting my prayers,’ Pastor Iren warns members

Apostle Emmanuel Iren of Celebration Church International has issued a stern warning to his members, urging them to uphold integrity in their businesses and stop embarrassing him with poor conduct.

During his Sunday sermon, Apostle Iren expressed frustration over members whose actions have prompted outsiders to send him direct messages about disputes or complaints. He said, “Now, I want to say this, this is a good opportunity to say this, some of you please, stop embarrassing me, because some people come to my DM reporting you, but I never respond. I never respond because when you guys were doing the business, I was not involved. When you shared profit, you didn’t call me. It is now when there’s an issue… If you have any problem with a church member, take them to court, straight up! What’s my business?”

The cleric emphasized the importance of treating customers fairly, noting that his prayers for their businesses are wasted if they act unethically. “Go above and beyond for the integrity of your business. A good name is better than gold,” he said, urging members to prioritize honesty and professionalism.
