Pastor calls out disruptive funeral attendee
A video of a Ghanaian pastor showing his frustration and anger at a mourner during a burial service has sparked hilarious reactions on social media.
In a short but amusing video spotted online, the unnamed man of God lost his composure and publicly lambasted the mourner.
In the video, the Man of God was dressed in traditional clerical attire, leading the service.
However, a man, who was in the background of the video, was persistently rushing him to speed up the funeral rites.
The pastor, visibly angry, stopped his proceedings to address the disruption. He went on to question the mourner's understanding and respect for the Christian burial process.
He then turned his attention to the rest of the mourners, asking them if they were aware of the 'necessary rites' that must be performed in the name of Jesus for the deceased.
He also pointed out that he had noticed the unruly behaviour from the same mourner at the beginning of the burial service.
The pastor's frustration boiled over as he called on any relative or friend of the disruptive mourner to intervene and caution him.
