In the recording, the clergy pointed out that there were women in the Bible who experienced menstrual flow but remained peaceful despite the pain.

Fans react to Lazarus's video
Many women in the comment section of the post were unimpressed with the cleric's comments. They warned him not to delve into such topics, as he cannot fully understand what women go through during their monthly periods.
Some shared their personal experiences during their menstrual flow.
This is not the first time the cleric has faced online outrage over his statements. A few months ago, he was criticized for speaking against gospel singers who charge to perform in churches, only for it to later be revealed that he himself charges an Instagram subscription to some of his followers.

"Omo, there are some days when things irritate me, and sometimes I keep telling myself, 'Why are you so angry today?' Then when I check my Flo app I realize it's a few days to period. I just can't explain the feeling sha."
@shooon said:
"Please, Pastor, speak with grace and thoughtfulness. Instead of condemning what you can never fully comprehend (even with spirituality), encourage women to manage their emotions as best they can, and teach men to support them with patience and understanding."
@iamadejoke1 shared:
"I used to listen to this man before, but I noticed his preaching against women is a bit off. Check yourself, sir. Heal. Don’t assume you know how women feel when you are not one."

Lara George replies Pastor Chris
Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that Lara George spoke on gospel singers' behalf.
The singer compared her colleagues to secular artistes who charged millions.
"If you found out that your favorite non-Naija Gospel artiste charges $100k USD to sing songs of praise and worship, would they appear less spiritual to you because they do so? Or did you all think that they sing for free?"
