PASTORS AND MEMBERS

The word Pastor though facing fade out in dignity is not strange to this generation but it means a shepherd who attain and look after the paths of Christians ensuring they don't deviate from God ways and if they do there urgent need to ask God for forgiveness. The notion of pastors as messengers of God began when the holy spirit came upon the apostle of Jesus Christ in the upper room and they began speaking in tongues. The gift of tongue was the beginning of their evangelical work on earth as the gospel was taken to every man in his language so no one will claim ignorant. This order from God was with the instruction to give freely because they have collected freely.

The Command of God was obeyed by all even by the missionaries that bought Christianity to Nigeria many Centuries ago. Those missionaries were highly the people servant , They could sleep hungry for their people to feed with the words of God. Though they faced some hard times and rejection but they never gave up on God. The name Pastor soon came into used with the coming of black man sense. Our fore fathers were baptized and thought the way of Christ. After graduation from the Catechumen school,they were vested with the role to assist in preaching the word of God to others. These graduands Soon began answering the name Priests or Rev Father and did behave like Shepherd of God. The division set in as times went out and a group of people who were also conversant with the bible moved on to form a church and answered the name Pastor but with sole intention of taking the words of God to the hearts of many with fear or Favour.

The division continued till date with each church and pastor emerging daily, in fact the number of churches in Nigeria now will take the Angel of God one year to count them but will take him just five seconds to count the righteous because just few are still doing the will of God while others mixed little of the will with their own selfish will. They have soon deviated from pastors being a servant to Pastors being earthly god and expect to be worship like God. Madness!!. Pastoring no longer a means of acquiring souls to God rather a means of acquiring personal wealth now. Pastors Campaign for Members like Politicians seek for voters contributing to the name Political Pastors. The Gospel of the day is now channeled towards selfish aims, Pastors now prefer to please members with sermon of prosperity than righteousness. Tufiakwa! . God command has been abandoned, the love of God has been replaced with the love of money, tithes and offertory.

These practices has given rise to many abusing Christianity and rating it like infidels. There's lovely desire to be a pastor because members will do anything once God is mentioned and mix with some bible quotations handsome money will come out which has contributed to the notion that Church is an occupation or a lucrative business. Oh God of mercy!. The most disappointing aspect is that Money collected from church members is used to accumulate wealth, building schools that a poor child can't attain, hospital that service charge is higher than what average member can afford, buying cars and private jets maybe to fly with their prayers to heaven. What then is this Christianity?

Members share the blame too in this unwelcome practice associated with Christianity and may share the hottest zone in hell fire with Fake Pastors. These generational church members are miracle and prophecy seekers. it is a generation of sign and wonders. They are quick to a house of wonders and describe the house without wonders as too cold and boring. The implications of this is that Pastors has gone haywire in seek of power from the Satan for miracles using the same members as Sacrifice. It is true, two Sundays ago, a pastor was caught with a two years old baby while trying to use him for rituals. Another Implications of the lifestyle of Members is that it earns them fake prophecy from the fake pastors, it also deprives them of peace with family members at home,they live in continues fear,every mosquito at day time holy ghost fire will rush from their mouth like Fire service discharging water on a wild fire.

The relationship between pastor and members can not be over stress because we are all witness to these happenings but its vital to know that every pastor today was once a member and there is no pastor without members. Every member has the role of pastoring himself first before significant others can assist. The bible is our greatest guide, whoever tries to interpret it for you is only doing according to his understanding but if you get closer to your bible God will give you the spirit of understanding,it you can't read pray God gives you the spirit to accept what's true and not.

However we can take away the fact that They are still some good pastors among us but identifying them is the problem because they all have sweet words of God hence All pastors are involved in this until we are able to identify them. If you know the best way of identifying and separating the fake ones from the real ones please notify me, i am so appreciative of knowledge.

It is most vital for all Man to understand that using the name of God to robbed each other is a big Sin against the holy spirit that draws us to hell which arose because of man disobedient and is main to scare us from sinning. Remember if you are caught in your evil practices and the court set you free, God judgment is never bias nor partial.

Pastor should be a way of taking lost souls back to God,if you don't have the calling stay quiet, be a member ,you don't need to open a church to get souls for Christ. They are many platforms now and the holy spirit goes with your words in each platform. You received freely,give freely if you ask people to pay for blessings then you paid for it and The devil collects charges. Members if your desires and rating of pastors are on the basis of prophecy and miracle you will never be disappointed. You don't need to worry about your future,leave it for ever faithful God,You don't need to worry about Miracle,it is God that provide and will surely provide at the right times. be very careful else you will fall into the net of more troubles with all these fake pastors. Members know also it is not pastors that solve your problem for you but God,see God not pastors

I have spoken and my words goes with cotton wool and eye drops, every ear must hear and eyes must read it. My words are for love of Christianity, let's restore it back to the right track.
