According to the cleric, the gospel singer should have handled the situation better by correcting the bride when he saw she had gone out of control.
Father Ukwu backed up his explanation with different Bible verses, including how the disciples immediately stopped people from idolising them.
The priest, who said some ministers have turned themselves into superstars, also claimed Bliss was enjoying the attention in the video.
An extract from his statement read:
"In the trending video, the minister was busy enjoying the show. When you see something that is not right, correct it immediately. Others will also learn from it. The way the lady was so excited, kneeling and hugging the minister even before her husband, was not supposed to be funny. But this is what happens when ministers make themselves superstars."

"All this noise don too much oh. Oya Make una organize another wedding for them make the woman and pastor correct their wrongs and apologize. Make peace dey."

"A very well balanced perspective. I only hope that he shares this same sentiment when it comes to GO’s as well! Stop worshipping anyone. Honour doesn’t have to be overly dramatic. Stop the Idolatry, especially those of you who think everyone must join a particular prayer for their prayers to be answered."

"These people are just starting their marital life, all these judgements will cause trouble for them."
ucejike:
"When a priest writes! The difference is clear!"
Moses Bliss should have pulled the bride back to her hubby - a Gospel singer fan
Atinuke said Moses Bliss' action was all shades of wrong as he shouldn't have allowed the bride to hug and be all over you in the presence of her husband.
She said:
"It's all shades of wrong menh. But still, he should not have allowed the bride to hug him for that long. He could have pulled the bride back to the husband."
