WARNING!! DON'T GO AGAINST PASTORS OR ANY MAN OF GOD DON'T TALK ANY THING BAD ABOUT THEM. GOD WILL JUDGE THEM
To be a leader is not an easy thing,People go through leadership training,but God chooses leaders.
It is sad the way people talk,insult and criticize men of God in this Country. ,including pastors criticizing and talking bad about other pastors it is dangerous.
It is true that there are evil ones in our midst,including , ritualist,child molesters who use name of God to perpetuate their evil acts.
let us not forget that some of these people are not trained pastors,,They are our enemies.
ln order for them to enter into our camp they need to disguise so as to look like one of us.They will then be able to destroy as many of children of God as possible.
To every original of God's creation there is a fake.
The bible tells us, by their fruits you shall know them.Let us live the judgement to God.
God uses men and woman for His different
of His people to different ministries He knows
are paramount. One such need that God knows
is important is to have a shepherd of a local
assembly of believers. That man is called a
“pastor” or “preacher”
Some are called "Missionaries"
because of jealousy that they are not
called to the position of pastoring; maybe
knowing they are not scripturally qualified for
such a role of leadership; perhaps because they
do not agree with how he is performing his
ministry, or just having the belief they can do a
better job than their pastor, many talk against
and about their preacher. What a dangerous
mistake they make when they do so.
All throughout the Bible there are examples of
how God dealt with those that rose up and
spoke against God’s man such as:
When Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses,
Miriam was plagued with leprosy (Num.
12:9-10).
When the people of Israel spoke against God
and Moses (Num. 21:5-6), God sent fiery
serpents to chastise them for their sin.
When Korah and over 250 others spoke
against Moses and Aaron (Num. 16:2-3), God
allowed the earth to swallow Korah and the
others up.
When children mocked God’s man, Elisha (II
Kings 2:22-23), God allowed two she bears to
destroy 42 of the mockers.
History tells us that Pontius Pilate, who
ordered Jesus’ death, died by suicide.
Judas turned against Jesus, and became so
miserable about what he had done against
Jesus that he killed himself (Mat. 27:5).
The thief that perished on the cross with
Christ, spoke against Jesus, and did not get
saved and go to heaven.
David would not go against King Saul, even
though the King did wrong several times
against him. David’s heart was, “The LORD
forbid that I should stretch forth mine hand
against the LORD'S anointed: …” I Samuel
26:11. David knew it was wrong to oppose
God’s man. However, today there are many
that have not the fear or respect to restrain
themselves from talking against or doing ill
against the leader God has placed over the
local church.
The pastor of any church certainly is not
perfect. No one will agree with everything
anyone does, let alone the many decisions the
local shepherd has to make. He probably would
not agree with all we do, either. However, he is
the leader of the local church that God has for
this time and should be obeyed, respected, and
encouraged. Unless when scriptural error is
involved, God takes him home, or God relocates
him, he is to stay the church leader.
Belittling and questioning his ministries does
much damage:
Murmuring against God’s man is sin, and sin
can only do harm to one’s life. One will not
be all he can be with any sin in his life.
Murmuring about another’s work for Christ will
put one in a position of judging (Mat. 7:1), and
that is the Holy Spirit’s job, in most
situations, not ours.
Complaining about the pastor, or any other
church leader or facet of the church, is only
going to spread discontent among others. It
will sow seeds of discord, and in most cases,
will only hinder, not build, the ministry
(Proverbs 6:16-19). Division among members
will result, when the leader is opposed.
Speaking against the pastor, or other God-
appointed leader, could hinder the Holy Spirit
of God from working in one’s life or could
bring the wrath of God on the violators.
Speaking ill against God’s man will not
encourage the pastor in doing all he can do. It
discourages most pastors, and the body of
Christ will surely suffer.
When we talk about or question what the
pastor is doing (or other church leaders, for
that matter) we are negating his authority to
the listeners. If it is our children that hear us
roast the preacher after a sermon, it may not
be long until the children lose respect for his
ministry, and do not heed the biblical advice
that is delivered from the pulpit or classroom.
One day the parent may wonder why the
children are not following what was taught in
church from the Bible. They would never
suspect their own bad-mouthing of the
preacher in their home had taught them that if
the parents do not respect the pastor, then
they do not have to.
Murmuring against the man of God will hinder
the effect any ministry has on the neighboring
community, if any disunity among church
members is heard of by them.Aaron and Hur
knew a principle about helping the man of God
that would encourage and help any pastor
today. They noticed when Moses’ arms were
up while directing a battle, that Israel had the
victory over the enemy. When the leader was
tired and had not the strength to lift up his
arms, the battle was in the favor of the
enemy. Aaron and Hur made sure their
leader’s arms were held high, so that they
would get the victory. They physically held up
their leader’s arms.
If more people would realize that honoring
God’s man is honoring God and His work, and
would encourage and help their pastor, more
spiritual battles would be won; and more pastors
would be encouraged. Lift up your leader's arms,
do not force them down!
“If you don’t have anything good to say, don’t
say anything!”
Today I continue to pray for pastor Chris Oyakhilome, because what happened in his marriage can happen to any man of God,The devil can use anything and any one to destroy your work,
He is a pastor not a perfect man,As I read my bible I realized and understand the weakness of man.Moses made a costly blunder that prevented him from reaching the promised land,Abram,Noah,David made serious mistakes in their ministries. we are mare morals.
May the Lord give us grace to pray for each other
