I agree with the bishop who said that was inappropriate. Thank you for correcting them and allowing him to say what he came to say. That shows the difference between a real man of God and someone who is just religious.
I have no words to describe what I initially witnessed and have no words to commend what I saw afterwards. I love how Bishop stood beside him and protected him from OPINIONS as he spoke. This kind of public humiliation was wrong, but sometimes we are wronged by small men to be honored by great men.
Elder Thuston Pastored in Lubbock Texas. We all loved him and Sister Thuston. He was great and kind and Holy. I was a Baptist Pastor during his ministry here. We fellowshiped often. I miss him. God Bless Him.AMEN
Gerald Phipps, you have spoken from your heart of truth as did the man of God who humbled himself and sit down!!! I left our grand ole church after some gangster thug emotions came in our local church!!! Like this, men have left the spirit of God and will be dealt with. I still love and pray for our church to have a Holy Ghost Spiritual Recovery!!!
Yes. I am glad the Bishop humbly sat down without argument. And I hope the decedent did not go to God holding on to unforgiveness. I just hope that didn't happen.
@@carribeangirl9542 we saw who acted the most belligerent here we dont know what happened bts...not saying what he did was right but lets not call people foolish until we know the situation better js
I’m not COGIC, but I appreciate how this archbishop here not only stood up for the Biblical principles of love and forgiveness, but he also stood BY the other Bishop while he delivered his remarks. It was a token of honor and protection; it was a “covering” unlike that which is common in Pentecostalism. Much applauds
Even a bishops in the church they don't want to hear the truth when you come with truth just like Jesus had truth he spoke the truth and people don't want to hear sound Doctrine they want to be stuck in their religion just like the Sadducees and the Pharisees the God bless I hope we all be ready when Jesus come
What if they did and it was ignored? We don't know the issues or the problem this family or the individual had with Bishop Thuston. Therefore, we shouldn't judge it.
@@bryannrogers2851 Exactly, COGIC should've gotten permission from the family before the service began. It would be a shame if this guys request was to have someone in specific to speak at his services if he was to pass away. Condolences nevertheless

@@susananderson2158, Speaking from personal experience is the reason I guess I am so passionate about this matter and commenting a lot. My dad was a pastor, in COGIC, and there was a Missionary who got upset, held a grudge, but later asked my dad to forgive her. However, when she told her family about it, she did not tell them she was on good terms again with her pastor before she died. They came to the funeral to start mess. We nip that before they came in the door, but one always got to do the most, by walking to view her sister and looking up at my dad while he was preaching, and walking out. Nobody else in the family walked with her. She did foolishly and I am sure she felt like it too!! So yes, this bothered me because we must pray, fast, and ask God to bind that devil who is coming to try to destroy this grand ole church!!
Praise God for his response. That spoke volumes. And he didn’t try to defend himself. Someone else stood up for him. That situation was handled well. ❤️
M Thomas, when we do the scripture and not use our scrip, it works every time and you are so correct!!! It allowed that humble Bishop actions to speak volumes without uttering a word
Right??? You all are warped. He knew that they didn't want him to speak and they let him anyway. THAT WAS DISRESPECTFUL PERIOD. I love our great Bishop but this was not right.
Bryann Rogers, in COGIC the National church pays for the funeral service for bishops. The family has very little control over the arrangements. If you check out other home going services for bishops you will find the order of service is the same. The hymn of comfort is usually we will understand it better bye and bye, as an example. There are some exceptions but the order of service, for the most part, is the same.
@@jameshill6210 You are correct. I served at my Bishops funeral at home and its very clear. The family only have a say so for the state funeral but the official and final service is handled by the national thats including the music.
I was in COGIC for years, it’s all about business and not the PEOPLE! Bishop Mason, the founder of COGIC, should be turning in his grave at the way his vision has turned to MESS!!’ I saw the nonsense and once I became an adult, I left. SMH
All of that should have been ironed out prior to the precession into the sanctuary. If the late Bishop didn't want Thuston to speak, that should have been made clear before service started.
You are correct but I think that bishop sims did do that. Blake doesn't handle business. He just let confusion carry on... Blake knew that sims didn't want that other bishop to speak.. Blake was wrong for disrespecting that man's family.. and that is why lots of people are leaving cogic.. people are tired of mess and shows... mess stinks.....some people are living save and want to do right.
What people dont understand is that In COGIC, when you become a Bishop, you sign a contract that says upon your death, you can have a local a d jurisdictional funeral, but after that, the body belongs to the National Church. Dont take them yearly checks a d all the benefits of being aBishop, then wanna not honor what you signed. That body belongs to COGIC, cause you took all the benefits while he was living. The family doesnt get the right to say what happens at the National Funeral, they had the option to keep their asses at home. These Bishops ans their wives know this, so Blake wasnt gonna do anything different, and he shouldn't have.,
@@charchar7897 I'm so sick and tired of people making excuses for cogic leaders. If they're wrong, then say so. Just call it what it is. God isn't pleased at all. What benefits? So they signed their lives over just for cogic benefits. What about your benefits in heaven? Do we care about that? No, I don't think so. Cogic leaders are selling their souls over for a title. Really!!!!! Boy boo........ they can keep their benefits because I want mines in heaven.... so do you think the members should gets some benefits from cogic? Nope, they dont give a hill of beans about them. Just the ones with titles (credential holders). And the members are the ones keeping the doors open. Also, cogic members should read that black book.... I was a cogic member and I'm not one anymore..... they can put that black book up their butt and stuff it, because I got a HOLY bible.. and it RIGHT and cogic black book and leaders are wrong....
I just love me some Bishop Blake ! And I love how “the people” respect him as well! Once Bishop Blake spoke, that’s all that had to be said and done. “When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.”
The goal isn’t to dwell on the disrespect you’ve witnessed. It’s to dwell on the love you’ve witnessed after the disrespect. Church clearly hasn’t lost its way and God is still teaching his children even in old age. God always gets the glory
There will be “non” of that in heaven; God is not moved by no mans title or position. He is not going to call by bishop, apostle, minister, Doctor, preacher, teacher etc. He will call us by name.
Greetings to you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ!!! Amen!!! Amen!!! There is none of this in the Kingdom of Christ!!! Noneeeeeeeee!!! Amen!!! Be not deceived, for what is flesh ISSSSSS flesh!!! Amen!!! Amen!!! Yes, the flesh of men!!! Amen!!! Every man is commanded to possess HISSSSS "OWNNNNNN" vessel!!! Amen!!! Amen!!! AMENNNN!!!
How can man respect Man when he has no respect for God? This was so wrong on so many levels, there is a time and place for everything, that was not it!! Bishop Blake was right, don't bring whatever happened outside in here. I commend Bishop Blake.
This makes me so sad. He did not have to snatch that microphone from him like that, if there was an issue it should've been addressed or left alone. This was not the time. It almost brings tears to my eyes to see things like this.
SusieCurlmichael TV thank you for saying that. I agree with you on this one this made me cry people can be so mean and have so much ugly Ness in themselves.
And the only reason he was speaking because the other people couldn't be there. Just maybe he was to deliver these words after all. Things work in mysterious ways😏
@ Sharon Everett Yes I noticed that! Like a body guard. The guy that sat in the back of him to his right with glasses...mouth flew open after the other man said he will not speak. Shocking and so hurtful. I felt that.
The World saw how a matter should be handled with Grace and Wisdom. Jesus came in contact with things like this, just like Peter starting mess by cutting the man ear off. The Bishop that was speaking didn’t try to argue with the man. And Bishop Blake used wisdom and humility as well. In this life, we will all be confronted with distasteful things, but the victory is how we handle it. Many of our men in the world in the streets get to see how real men of God handle conflict. And not by getting deadly weapons or with profanity. Young men need to see this, just like Jesus didn’t hide His confrontations!!
I feel that man of God's pain. I went through a similar situation but God worked in my favor. An individual that didn't professionally being saved stood up for me. That speaks volumes about my character. Reputation is what you are in public, but character is what you are when you're alone.
Really!!!! Y didn't Blake comes to a small town in Moscow Tn and handled his business , when that devil put faithful members out of the church?What class does he has? I will be glad when cogic gets another leader over them with some class.
@@TheReggie76 yes I do.... and it's not Blake.. I said what said.. u don't allow nobody to put faithful members out of the church. Those members have been there for 20, 30, 40 and 50 years in the grand old church of God in christ.. the members got in touch with classy blake and he didn't come or send anyone to see about the members there.. Blake allowed that devil come and split the church up. Blake comes to Memphis how many times in a year. Memphis is 45 minutes from Moscow.. his classy self didn't have time for those faithful cogic members.. if u don't hold a credential in cogic,you are NOTHING to them.... the credential holder's have a card. Do the members have a number/id... the members in the pews are keeping the church going. They r paying the bills so u take care of them too. I meant what I said okay........
12345 12345 one of the downfalls of leadership is people make everything your responsibility. There are Bishop’s assigned in those areas to assist with those type situations. Bishop Blake cant do it everything. The next leader will be criticized as well.
That mean he had something in his heart that should not be as a man of God, therefore should we conclude that his work was in vain. Something to think about
Thank God for Bishop Charles E. Blake for standing by the Bishop, while he graciously asked him to come back to give his remarks. If the Bishop that was funeralized made this request, out of hatred towards the man, then my thoughts are, did he die with hatred in his spirit against him? I pray that he made it right with God, and he just happened to forget that he made that request and was too ill to correct the request that he made.
If he didn't care for the man he didn't care for him. He should of cared his sick ass home. I would of stood up and stood firm for my loved one. I dont give a damn what wicked nigga in the church don't like it
I agree!, It's not only in the COGIC but this is happening in every religious organization in terms of Church and this type of stuff in the Church is ridiculous in terms of the disrespect!!!
Surely the guy who snatched the microphone felt like a fool afterward ... especially after Bishop Blake’s remarks and him inviting the Pastor to continue his remarks.
I never comment on these things however, when I saw this, I cannot believe the disrespect for God, His House, Presiding Bishop Blake and the entire Church Of God In Christ. COGIC has to get it together! This was something that should have been handled before the service. God is not pleased and this dude made himself, the family, everyone that attended and the entire COGIC look very bad however, I applaud the Bishop that was disrespected and how he humbled himself, allowed God to fight the battle and handled it like a true Man of God! In addition, I applaud Bishop Blake for allowing God to stand up inside and not act crazy.
That's why I never joined them but became Presbyterian instead and we believe in being baptized in the Holy Spirit too. Pentecostals don't have that monopoly. I heard about the mess that goes on at those convocations too. spouses attending without their husbands and wive and getting into mess
Prudence and kindness is something that some leaders in the church have to learn. The wisdom and kindness of Bishop Blake and the brother who was publicly snubbed, both exemplified the Jesus I know.
My first thought was toward his wife and children, if he has them. How embarrassing and inappropriate. The ‘request’ should have been handled in advance - not - while the man is already up at the microphone.
What a gentleman to be able to sit down gracefully and take the mic and do his part despite the utterly disrespectful moment during his greeting remarks! I promise I would have left or refused to speak any further.
Me too because my emotions and nervous styem would have gone hey while from shock and embarrassment.. However I glad he finished his speech. To me it showed how humble he was..
Mervin Britoe Lol 😂 I feel the same way, although I hope I would have been able to be as gracious as the poor gentlemen on the receiving end of these shenanigans.
@@mamafylees3344 yes Lord, I'm southern Baptist and we don't play mess like that in our churches for real. This is why we have meetings in situations and that is the place to handle things like that, period!!!! Amen
I was raised and attended COGIC my entire childhood, Teen and adult life. I'm now 69 years old and have watched what Bishop Mason build turn into an absolute joke !
I was born and raised in the COGIC church being my parents got put out the Bapist church for getting filled with the Holy Ghost. This church put the fear of God in me growing up being taught about holiness. Now my curch that i love has lost me. I havenot attened the convocation since 1981 becasue of demenaing actions by one of the bishops
@@ellisnelson9084 we need to get over all that stuff. Peter said: save your selves from this untaward generation. We better learn to eat the meat and spit the bones out and grow in grace. Time out for being in our feelings. Jesus is on his way back and we must grow up and be obedient to the word of God. At all cost, we must learn Jesus and what he's actually calling for. The word of God will judge us.
Cogic might had that planned, so that Blake and those bishops could look good. Really really really!!!!!!!!!! We are standing together... Look at us... Thurston and Blake can go and sit down.... Respect the dead and his family.
@@user-in3yl9yg7z First of all, I said might have planned it.. If Blake met with bishop sims church family before the funeral,and it was said that Thurston will not get up. No u tell me who is a lying wonder.. don't u put me in hell because you are not my saver Jesus christ of Nazareth.. you can put yourself in hell because you know yourself and not me... okay!!!!!!!
@@user-bk9zx2ru6s are you accusing Bishop Blake of plotting wicked devices for ratings...at a funeral? That's okay, sir/ms. You gonna be alright, we forgive you.
@Heidi Mi you're right, sis. But 1Timorhy 5:19 says "against an elder, receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses." This is why we have to be careful what we say about God's leaders.
If the brother who snatched the mic is/was a credential holder in the church… I hope his credentials were snatched after this deplorable act of disrespect and dishonor in from the of the Presiding Bishop and all of those in attendance.
People are tired of the mess that he has allowed in cogic. Blake goes along with the mess and they are always trying to cover it up too.Blake isn't perfect... cogic has went down hills.... lots of people can see that. Cogic need another presiding bishop. His time is up.really it has been up. He needs to retire.. cogic needs linwood Dillard as their presiding bishop.
@@user-bk9zx2ru6s Exactly cogic has become nothing but a circus under Blake and there's no denying that he really needs to go and until he does it will only get worse in that organization 😔
Bishop Blake been involved in this mess for yrs no God is tired & uncovering all this sin in the church's everywhere. I since alot of the pastors are downlow u can tell.
God said, Repay no one evil (disrespect) for evil (disrespect), but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. This is a lesson for all the saints. God is nigh to fix the wrong. By his good actions to sit down and allow God to give him the victory is better than anything he could have said or done.
Unbelievable what I just witnessed...What ever happened to "When you find a brother in a fault restore such a one in a spirit of LOVE!" Gal 6:1... thanks Bishop Blake for reading your Bible...
Lord help the body of Christ!! What the devil meant for bad God turned it around for good! And Bishop Blake handle that so professional!! That's what you call Agape love!!
OH MY! I can't believe what I just saw. That was not the right time nor the right place to do that. If he was not on the program they should have let him know before he got up there. IJS! I feel so embarrassed for him. but I'm glad that one of the bishops allow him to continue. 😬
Aww Man..Thats Just A lil Public Taste of Some Of the Church Hurt That People Experience!...how That Preacher Walked back and sat Down Broke my Heart!!..
This is Joyce Patrick.. Bishop Thuston and I served on the MLK Celebration Committee .. Bishop Thuston was mentored by my father The Late Rev A.L. Patrick who was a dear friend as well to Bishop Blake Sr Bishop Charles Blake’s father that I have fond memories of San Diego California.. Bishop Charles Blake is just as kind as his Father and a great leader.. Bishop Thuston is a great man a kind man and a great speaker.. Jealousy is a tool of Satan and I am afraid for the Bishop who was funeralized because you can’t get into Heaven with hatred in your heart.. My family lives and respects Lemuel Thuston
@Heidi Mi God is in control. If u don't like it or not. God has closed the doors of the churches. We need to humble ourselves and pray. This is God doing.
@Heidi Mi First of all, let's stop the name calling,okay. God is in control. God created the world. My God can open and close whatever he created. God has allowed this virus to come into our lives, but I believe that he is going to keep us. Look like to me doing this time,u need to be in the word( bible). Read so that u can get an understanding. We as God's people need to be praying and seeking him. Humble ourselves!!!!! Pray Pray Pray Pray...
Why not honor the request of the deceased (not that he can do anything)? if the deceased requested certain things to occur and not occur, then follow suit.
You cant get to heaven holding grudges on your death bed to the point. Everybody with a title ain't going to heaven. That's very sad. But Hell is very real.
Yes heaven and hell is real. But how do you know if sims was holding a grudge? Did he tell you that he was? Worry about your own soul... God is the judge..
@@user-bk9zx2ru6s I never said he was. What I said was you cant go holding grudges on your death bed. I know better than to put anyone in heaven or hell.
@@user-bk9zx2ru6s it was stated that Bishop Sims did not want this Bishop to speak at his service. No, I wasn't there, didn't hear it but if it's true then it's safe to say he was holding a grudge.
Telling the truth will get u to heaven 🙏 not marking or blasting people that's not going to get you to heaven either some of you talk the talk but still don't have a understanding of God words and go to church every Sunday what I do know is pray without meditation is bad as a dinner that don't pray I don't understand something's clear but what I do know is God is real and you have to listen to what he saying not running around judging people that's his job not area God Bless
This incident, and many others like it, speaks volumes for the state of the "church" in this hour! Yes, it took place nearly two years ago, but the picture of what continues to take place is deplorable! The world is watching and they are seeing darkness rather than light! Shame! There is NO excuse for this kind of childish behavior! Day after day brings more blight to the institution that is supposed to be testifying to the love of God! Things like this make me ashamed to call myself a Christian! Get it together, people! Jesus is returning sooner than we realize, and when He returns, will He finds any faith at all!?
It shouldn't make you ashamed as long as you are living the way God sees fit nothing that others do should make you feel ashamed. You are not following them and they are not your God.
That's Truth Jesus Christ Return Is imminent We Must Be Ready..... At All Times.... End Days.... As in the Days Of Noah( Noe) Christ Returning..... Pray All Repent Before It's To Late..... And Forget The small stuff not worth your Eternal Soul.... Folks Thinks It's Hot🔥 Here, But Hell Is Hotter........ With Love💛
Wow! Wow! Wow! He snatched the microphone. It appears that this man that snatched the microphone and the man who died must have been good friends. If there is a beef in his heart he better get it straight with God and I hope the Bishop that passed had it right in his heart before he took his last breath and maybe he has. OMG! It seems the bishop that was speaking did not have a grudge in his heart because he was ready to acknowledge the bishop that passed. He was so humble at heart. Whatever the beef was he kept love in his heart. I was raised COGIC and never would have imagine this would ever happen in public.
Where did all these sinless, blameless Christians come from? You hope he didn't die with unforgivesness in his heart? Please don't tell me you think that will keep him from seeing heaven at the rapture? We ALL sin, but are covered by Jesus' blood and God's grace. Stop acting as though you have to be perfect to enter the kingdom of heaven. If that were the case heaven will be an empty place!! However, Jesus said it has "many" mansions so those who have confessed with their mouths that Jesus is Lord, is the Son of God and was raised from the dead will enter it.
@@goldenchild5324 If he died with unforgiveness in his heart Jesus said he will not be forgiven by God. If God does not forgive you as he didn't forgive the angels in heaven that he loved at one time he will nkt forgive humans. This is his commandment. This is why he said forgive one another and live one another. He gives us the warning abd time to repent because he loves abd forgives. We can't change his commandnents jyst because we think it is fair. God's judgement is true and fair. Jesus saud his judgement is just. (John 5:30) I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me. (Matthew 6:14-15) For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: [15]But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. That nan will soend eternity in hell becayse he wiuld have followed Satan.
COGIC disrespect??? I only saw one person with an issue, NOT the entire denomination! Every one else stood in unity with Bishop Blake. The world is trying so hard to find discord in God House, let's not fall for the devil's tricks or give him anything to use against us. GOD BLESS!
Bishop Blake is not playing church. He is a true disciple of Jesus the Christ. No wonder why people saved and unsaved alike seek his counsel. Jesus said let the greatest among you be servant of all. This is what he meant!
Apparently he was not told before the service that jed couldn't speak. Whether he wanted him to speak or not you don't get up in the middle of a service and embarrass a leader in the church ever. That was totally disrespectful on all levels. Thank God the Bishop handled it with grace and made the proper decision.
He said he came from sickness⚕ for a Great servant of TMH🌅🌠 am glad those bishop stood their ground Moses was not only faithful in words but he was Faithful in deeds
Outta line and out of control he needs reprimanded for his actions. Then we wonder why people don’t take church folk seriously. Whoever that man was, was beyond rude...he had no right to get up there and snatch that mic and not give the mic back.
The heart condition of the person or people who originally made the choice/request was a determining factor in what was said and done at his own funeral. It says A Lot About what was not settled before he died.Condition of the Heart.🫢😢
I've known Bishop Blake and his father since 1977 and still a honorable man with humbleness.....still run in their Bishophood as a family. And I'm 60....
I was so disappointed 😔 as a human and Preacher daughter all I want to say is Lord have Mercy when we come into a funeral and disrespected How dare we 😳😭😭😭
This just shows you what it means to have integrity and to not have it. Thank God for the man of God who had the integrity to correct the error in love and hopefully the other man learned a lesson. His intent only brought shame to himself. He could have done that before the event and discussed his issue
This man died with HATE in his heart against another person is that my understanding from this? AND people of GOD filled with his Holy Spirit acting unseemly
It's sad how our leaders are leading the church straight to hell and the church is blind enough to follow. How can you love God whom you can't see but hate your brother whom you can see? Jesus said" the greatest of these( commandments) is LOVE.

What nonesense !!! They could have addressed him BEFORE he got up to speak. Thank you Bishop Blake for demonstrating God's grace as we are all to model Jesus on the earth.
That was so out of order and disrespectful he should have been reprimanded for his actions. Truly not in order. Bishop Blake did the right thing and stood beside him till he finished.Bishop Blake for President
Bishop Blake stood next to him as he spoke as if to say " try to come up here now and try that foolishness " that was GANGSTA !!
I agree with the bishop who said that was inappropriate. Thank you for correcting them and allowing him to say what he came to say. That shows the difference between a real man of God and someone who is just religious.
I used to attend West Angeles Church when I was in my 20's. Bishop Blake has always been a man of Integrity & Honor.
The Pastor handled it like a Champ, very humble and meek and took his seat without saying a word. Much Respect 🙏 👏
Bishop Blake is the real deal. He stood and corrected a wrong. God bless him.
I have no words to describe what I initially witnessed and have no words to commend what I saw afterwards. I love how Bishop stood beside him and protected him from OPINIONS as he spoke. This kind of public humiliation was wrong, but sometimes we are wronged by small men to be honored by great men.

He was such a gentleman and calm man of God! That’s love! His character gets a A+
@@susananderson2158, Speaking from personal experience is the reason I guess I am so passionate about this matter and commenting a lot. My dad was a pastor, in COGIC, and there was a Missionary who got upset, held a grudge, but later asked my dad to forgive her. However, when she told her family about it, she did not tell them she was on good terms again with her pastor before she died. They came to the funeral to start mess. We nip that before they came in the door, but one always got to do the most, by walking to view her sister and looking up at my dad while he was preaching, and walking out. Nobody else in the family walked with her. She did foolishly and I am sure she felt like it too!! So yes, this bothered me because we must pray, fast, and ask God to bind that devil who is coming to try to destroy this grand ole church!!
Praise God for his response. That spoke volumes. And he didn’t try to defend himself. Someone else stood up for him. That situation was handled well. ❤️
He didn't have the energy but i bet back in his day dude would have been on the floor
M Thomas, when we do the scripture and not use our scrip, it works every time and you are so correct!!! It allowed that humble Bishop actions to speak volumes without uttering a word
Bishop Blake is boss. He corrected it, but the humiliation will never be forgotten, hopefully he will forgive the ignore man
Applaud Bishop Blake for standing up for what's right
I concur...
I love how he stood right next to the other Bishop while he was speaking. That was quite wise.
Right??? You all are warped. He knew that they didn't want him to speak and they let him anyway. THAT WAS DISRESPECTFUL PERIOD. I love our great Bishop but this was not right.
Bryann Rogers, in COGIC the National church pays for the funeral service for bishops. The family has very little control over the arrangements. If you check out other home going services for bishops you will find the order of service is the same. The hymn of comfort is usually we will understand it better bye and bye, as an example. There are some exceptions but the order of service, for the most part, is the same.
@@jameshill6210 You are correct. I served at my Bishops funeral at home and its very clear. The family only have a say so for the state funeral but the official and final service is handled by the national thats including the music.
That was such a classy move, Bishop Blake! And I am so proud of you for exemplifying the true love of Christ!
This is why Bishop Blake is the leader.True example of a Bishop leader living in excellence.
"Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap," (Gal. 6:7). Judgement awaits....
WORD
Wow... that was sooo incredibly hard to watch, but i absolutely appreciate how Bishop Blake diffused the entire situation🙏🙏🙏❤
That was totally out of order and hurtful!! Bishop Blake covered his minister and stood their to protect him! May God Bless you Bishop Blake!!
That Pastor was so humble and just sat down. And to the Bishop who made wrong....right❣❣
I was in COGIC for years, it’s all about business and not the PEOPLE! Bishop Mason, the founder of COGIC, should be turning in his grave at the way his vision has turned to MESS!!’ I saw the nonsense and once I became an adult, I left. SMH
Anybody not "permitted to speak" shouldn't have been "permitted to sit" there 😒
This brother was the original Chris Rock he handled that disrespect so well I applaud you 👏 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😇
All of that should have been ironed out prior to the precession into the sanctuary. If the late Bishop didn't want Thuston to speak, that should have been made clear before service started.
You are correct but I think that bishop sims did do that. Blake doesn't handle business. He just let confusion carry on... Blake knew that sims didn't want that other bishop to speak.. Blake was wrong for disrespecting that man's family.. and that is why lots of people are leaving cogic.. people are tired of mess and shows... mess stinks.....some people are living save and want to do right.
@Gabriel Sharpe can u please explain yourself?
What people dont understand is that In COGIC, when you become a Bishop, you sign a contract that says upon your death, you can have a local a d jurisdictional funeral, but after that, the body belongs to the National Church. Dont take them yearly checks a d all the benefits of being aBishop, then wanna not honor what you signed. That body belongs to COGIC, cause you took all the benefits while he was living. The family doesnt get the right to say what happens at the National Funeral, they had the option to keep their asses at home. These Bishops ans their wives know this, so Blake wasnt gonna do anything different, and he shouldn't have.,
I agree with that it was not necessary in GOD'S house.
@@charchar7897
I'm so sick and tired of people making excuses for cogic leaders. If they're wrong, then say so. Just call it what it is. God isn't pleased at all. What benefits? So they signed their lives over just for cogic benefits. What about your benefits in heaven? Do we care about that? No, I don't think so. Cogic leaders are selling their souls over for a title. Really!!!!! Boy boo........ they can keep their benefits because I want mines in heaven.... so do you think the members should gets some benefits from cogic? Nope, they dont give a hill of beans about them. Just the ones with titles (credential holders). And the members are the ones keeping the doors open. Also, cogic members should read that black book.... I was a cogic member and I'm not one anymore..... they can put that black book up their butt and stuff it, because I got a HOLY bible.. and it RIGHT and cogic black book and leaders are wrong....
I just love me some Bishop Blake ! And I love how “the people” respect him as well! Once Bishop Blake spoke, that’s all that had to be said and done. “When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.”
The goal isn’t to dwell on the disrespect you’ve witnessed. It’s to dwell on the love you’ve witnessed after the disrespect. Church clearly hasn’t lost its way and God is still teaching his children even in old age. God always gets the glory
There will be “non” of that in heaven; God is not moved by no mans title or position. He is not going to call by bishop, apostle, minister, Doctor, preacher, teacher etc. He will call us by name.
Greetings to you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ!!! Amen!!! Amen!!! There is none of this in the Kingdom of Christ!!! Noneeeeeeeee!!! Amen!!! Be not deceived, for what is flesh ISSSSSS flesh!!! Amen!!! Amen!!! Yes, the flesh of men!!! Amen!!! Every man is commanded to possess HISSSSS "OWNNNNNN" vessel!!! Amen!!! Amen!!! AMENNNN!!!
Amen!🙏🙏
Very well stated. Amen.
I disagree his will not call us by name he will call us Servant
How can man respect Man when he has no respect for God? This was so wrong on so many levels, there is a time and place for everything, that was not it!! Bishop Blake was right, don't bring whatever happened outside in here. I commend Bishop Blake.
Amen
This makes me so sad. He did not have to snatch that microphone from him like that, if there was an issue it should've been addressed or left alone. This was not the time. It almost brings tears to my eyes to see things like this.
SusieCurlmichael TV thank you for saying that. I agree with you on this one this made me cry people can be so mean and have so much ugly Ness in themselves.
And the only reason he was speaking because the other people couldn't be there. Just maybe he was to deliver these words after all. Things work in mysterious ways😏
Yes, the man was RUDE for snatching the microphone.
And, why are they so mad at Bishop Thuston? What did he do?
I felt the exact same way. This deeply grieved my heart 😔
Yes
COGIC has lost its way ever since Bishop GE Patterson died. This is shameful and so embarrassing.
THIS!!!!!
I miss Bishop GE! I grew up watching him!!
I also like how his Bishop went ln stood by his side and the others stood up too🙌
@ Sharon Everett Yes I noticed that! Like a body guard. The guy that sat in the back of him to his right with glasses...mouth flew open after the other man said he will not speak. Shocking and so hurtful. I felt that.
@@cherryheart3 that is Bishop Matthew Williams who just recently taken his eternal rest.
@@kevinfisher6452 Oh no 😔 so sorry to hear that. He also look young. Heart goes out to his family and people who knows him.
That’s a man of order and honor. Only if he could teach the younger generations this lesson.
He stood as a protection, knowing Big dude was not going to move him
This Why Love this Church I’ve been part of this church all my life and I wouldn’t be wanna anywhere else
I love The Church of God in Christ 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
I appreciate the shunned preachers comments. He handled that like a true leader
I'm speckless
People of God we’ve got to Pray.How can we win souls to the kingdom when we’re not showing God’s love.
The World saw how a matter should be handled with Grace and Wisdom. Jesus came in contact with things like this, just like Peter starting mess by cutting the man ear off. The Bishop that was speaking didn’t try to argue with the man. And Bishop Blake used wisdom and humility as well. In this life, we will all be confronted with distasteful things, but the victory is how we handle it. Many of our men in the world in the streets get to see how real men of God handle conflict. And not by getting deadly weapons or with profanity. Young men need to see this, just like Jesus didn’t hide His confrontations!!
FACTS 🙏🏼
I feel that man of God's pain. I went through a similar situation but God worked in my favor. An individual that didn't professionally being saved stood up for me. That speaks volumes about my character. Reputation is what you are in public, but character is what you are when you're alone.
I liked way Bishop Blake stood right by his side while Minister Sims finished his remarks.
The position of leader is very important and is demonstated so flawlessly by Bishop Blake here!!!!! Kudos...
Bishop Blake handled that with class my props to him!
Really!!!! Y didn't Blake comes to a small town in Moscow Tn and handled his business , when that devil put faithful members out of the church?What class does he has? I will be glad when cogic gets another leader over them with some class.
It’s obvious you don’t know what class look like or feel like brother
@@TheReggie76 yes I do.... and it's not Blake.. I said what said.. u don't allow nobody to put faithful members out of the church. Those members have been there for 20, 30, 40 and 50 years in the grand old church of God in christ.. the members got in touch with classy blake and he didn't come or send anyone to see about the members there.. Blake allowed that devil come and split the church up. Blake comes to Memphis how many times in a year. Memphis is 45 minutes from Moscow.. his classy self didn't have time for those faithful cogic members.. if u don't hold a credential in cogic,you are NOTHING to them.... the credential holder's have a card. Do the members have a number/id... the members in the pews are keeping the church going. They r paying the bills so u take care of them too. I meant what I said okay........
12345 12345 one of the downfalls of leadership is people make everything your responsibility. There are Bishop’s assigned in those areas to assist with those type situations. Bishop Blake cant do it everything. The next leader will be criticized as well.
12345 12345 I was agreeing with you my comment was for Brandon Nelson not you.
That man said he didn't want him speaking at his funeral 🤣
That mean he had something in his heart that should not be as a man of God, therefore should we conclude that his work was in vain. Something to think about
Thank God for Bishop Charles E. Blake for standing by the Bishop, while he graciously asked him to come back to give his remarks. If the Bishop that was funeralized made this request, out of hatred towards the man, then my thoughts are, did he die with hatred in his spirit against him? I pray that he made it right with God, and he just happened to forget that he made that request and was too ill to correct the request that he made.
Exactly!!
Say it and he must give an account for that before GOD that he did not clear that up before he died Wow
Well spoken
If he didn't care for the man he didn't care for him. He should of cared his sick ass home. I would of stood up and stood firm for my loved one. I dont give a damn what wicked nigga in the church don't like it
@@walkingintruthknowledge7418 right!
Amen. The Church should never be place to belittle someone.
Only in C.O.G.I.C.!! Sad to see that happen. So many people don't want to go to church just because of mess like that!!
I agree!, It's not only in the COGIC but this is happening in every religious organization in terms of Church and this type of stuff in the Church is ridiculous in terms of the disrespect!!!
UNBELIEVABLE! Thank God Bishop Blake intervened.
Surely the guy who snatched the microphone felt like a fool afterward ... especially after Bishop Blake’s remarks and him inviting the Pastor to continue his remarks.
Where was the Armor Bearer and Adjutants to stop that guy from getting close to Bishop?
Like the saying goes “the devil is always busy.. even in the church” this is a prime videotape example !
I never comment on these things however, when I saw this, I cannot believe the disrespect for God, His House, Presiding Bishop Blake and the entire Church Of God In Christ. COGIC has to get it together! This was something that should have been handled before the service. God is not pleased and this dude made himself, the family, everyone that attended and the entire COGIC look very bad however, I applaud the Bishop that was disrespected and how he humbled himself, allowed God to fight the battle and handled it like a true Man of God! In addition, I applaud Bishop Blake for allowing God to stand up inside and not act crazy.
That's why I never joined them but became Presbyterian instead and we believe in being baptized in the Holy Spirit too. Pentecostals don't have that monopoly. I heard about the mess that goes on at those convocations too. spouses attending without their husbands and wive and getting into mess

Prudence and kindness is something that some leaders in the church have to learn. The wisdom and kindness of Bishop Blake and the brother who was publicly snubbed, both exemplified the Jesus I know.
Not a Kanye moment in COGIC! That was so outrageous and disrespectful!
Not Kanye 😂 Love My COGIC 😂🙏🏾❤️
My first thought was toward his wife and children, if he has them. How embarrassing and inappropriate. The ‘request’ should have been handled in advance - not - while the man is already up at the microphone.
Amen. It could have been discreetly whispered in his ear so as to not publicly humiliate him or disrespect the homegoing service
That was a loving message he also gave to the surviving wife after having been disrespected….mildness goes a long way.
What a gentleman to be able to sit down gracefully and take the mic and do his part despite the utterly disrespectful moment during his greeting remarks! I promise I would have left or refused to speak any further.
Me too because my emotions and nervous styem would have gone hey while from shock and embarrassment.. However I glad he finished his speech. To me it showed how humble he was..
Mervin Britoe Lol 😂 I feel the same way, although I hope I would have been able to be as gracious as the poor gentlemen on the receiving end of these shenanigans.

They should have told him before the service started " You cannot speak." While making a scene. Only in Black churches always at funerals too.
Lord help the body of Christ!! What the devil meant for bad God turned it around for good! And Bishop Blake handle that so professional!! That's what you call Agape love!!
There is nothing, absolutely nothing like seeing AUTHORITY in place. Need more of it in our nation, our homes and certainly our churches...
We need RIGHTEOUS authority from women and men, especially in the homes.

Yes, it took place nearly two years ago, but the picture of what continues to take place is deplorable! The world is watching and they are seeing darkness rather than light! Shame! There is NO excuse for this kind of childish behavior! Day after day brings more blight to the institution that is supposed to be testifying to the love of God! Things like this make me ashamed to call myself a Christian! Get it together, people! Jesus is returning sooner than we realize, and when He returns, will He finds any faith at all!?
It shouldn't make you ashamed as long as you are living the way God sees fit nothing that others do should make you feel ashamed. You are not following them and they are not your God.

Wow! Wow! Wow! He snatched the microphone. It appears that this man that snatched the microphone and the man who died must have been good friends. If there is a beef in his heart he better get it straight with God and I hope the Bishop that passed had it right in his heart before he took his last breath and maybe he has. OMG! It seems the bishop that was speaking did not have a grudge in his heart because he was ready to acknowledge the bishop that passed. He was so humble at heart. Whatever the beef was he kept love in his heart. I was raised COGIC and never would have imagine this would ever happen in public.
Where did all these sinless, blameless Christians come from? You hope he didn't die with unforgivesness in his heart? Please don't tell me you think that will keep him from seeing heaven at the rapture? We ALL sin, but are covered by Jesus' blood and God's grace. Stop acting as though you have to be perfect to enter the kingdom of heaven. If that were the case heaven will be an empty place!! However, Jesus said it has "many" mansions so those who have confessed with their mouths that Jesus is Lord, is the Son of God and was raised from the dead will enter it.
@@goldenchild5324 If he died with unforgiveness in his heart Jesus said he will not be forgiven by God. If God does not forgive you as he didn't forgive the angels in heaven that he loved at one time he will nkt forgive humans. This is his commandment. This is why he said forgive one another and live one another. He gives us the warning abd time to repent because he loves abd forgives. We can't change his commandnents jyst because we think it is fair. God's judgement is true and fair. Jesus saud his judgement is just. (John 5:30)
I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me. (Matthew 6:14-15)

It’s a shame & a disgrace! Dude thought ppl were going to have his back while he was making a fool of himself
Bishop Blake is not playing church. He is a true disciple of Jesus the Christ. No wonder why people saved and unsaved alike seek his counsel. Jesus said let the greatest among you be servant of all. This is what he meant!
If the man who died said I don't want him to speak at my funeral. Who the hell are they to allow it.
Apparently he was not told before the service that jed couldn't speak. Whether he wanted him to speak or not you don't get up in the middle of a service and embarrass a leader in the church ever. That was totally disrespectful on all levels. Thank God the Bishop handled it with grace and made the proper decision.

I was so disappointed 😔 as a human and Preacher daughter all I want to say is Lord have Mercy when we come into a funeral and disrespected How dare we 😳😭😭😭
This just shows you what it means to have integrity and to not have it. Thank God for the man of God who had the integrity to correct the error in love and hopefully the other man learned a lesson. His intent only brought shame to himself. He could have done that before the event and discussed his issue
That's a new low. Too allow the man to stand before the people to sit him down, to embarrass him.
Bishop Blake has always been a class act. My pastor!
This man died with HATE in his heart against another person is that my understanding from this? AND people of GOD filled with his Holy Spirit acting unseemly
It's sad how our leaders are leading the church straight to hell and the church is blind enough to follow. How can you love God whom you can't see but hate your brother whom you can see? Jesus said" the greatest of these( commandments) is LOVE.

That was so out of order and disrespectful he should have been reprimanded for his actions. Truly not in order. Bishop Blake did the right thing and stood beside him till he finished.Bishop Blake for President
