ARE YOU PLEASED WITH YOUR POSITION AND SERVICE AS A PASTOR?

Acts 2:46 “And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart , 47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved”. Any service being rendered to GOD that is short of the above cannot be termed a ‘reasonable’ service Romans 12:1.

Dear pastor friend of mine, especially you that is of THE REDEEMED CHRISTIAN CHURCH OF GOD (RCCG),

Are you one hundred percent pleased and happy with your position as a pastor? Do you carry out your duties and responsibilities with cheerfulness and fulfilment? Are you always pleased in fulfilling the Area, Zonal, Provincial, Regional and National demands on your poor parish? Are you very satisfied with the level of the wellbeing of your immediate family members and by extension your church members? And most importantly, are you really called by God to be a pastor??? Irrespective of your answer to any of the above questions, I have a message for you.

My friend, in Isaiah 66:2, the LORD says “For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the LORD: BUT TO THIS MAN WILL I LOOK, EVEN TO HIM THAT IS POOR AND OF A CONTRITE SPIRIT, AND TREMBLETH AT MY WORD”, God is looking unto men that trembles at His word. But most of you out there are no longer moved at the WORD of GOD, but you are there trembling at the words of your Area, Zonal, Provincial and Regional pastors, who often threaten you with discipline, suspension and even transfer to more local places, should you not meet up with their financial demands on your POOR PARISH. And in order to obey your superiors whether it is convenient or not, you do go out of your way to meeting their demands, which to some extent you born the burden all alone as a result of the poor state of your members, even though you also does not have any good financial standing. This action, most times has resulted in you MURMURING and GRUMBLING within yourself thereby making the work you have been called to do to become burdensome and tiring. The LORD is your strength my dear pastor friend.

MY MESSAGE TO YOU

This is my heartfelt and Godly message to you.

Instead of rendering the services of GOD with an unpleasing heart as a result of the burden placed on you by your local pastor, please, kindly put in your RESIGNATION from being a Parish Pastor. Continue your church fellowship in the ministry, but do so now as an ORDINARY MEMBER in the floor, and not as a PASTOR anymore. Remember, no human being on earth will ever make heaven on the basis of being a PASTOR, but everyone will make heaven for being a holy and obedient candidate of heaven.

Over fourteen thousand people died in one day among the Israelites in the wilderness when they ‘murmured’ against GOD 1 Corinthians 10:10; Numbers 16:49. Therefore, resign your appointment as a pastor instead of dying and ends up in hell fire due to murmuring within yourself.

I love you, hence this message to you. GOD bless you.

Shalom!
