You were simply not sure of the vision you felt it was just your imagination , and you concluded that traveling was a better idea as in a greener pasture , sir you will be held accountable.

Beosten:
Let me start from here: I have what it takes to be a pastor and I had numerous visions that confirmed my calling. But I have a disability, and I refused to go into pastoral ministry since 2005. I came into the full-time ministry a few months ago. I came into the ministry because it seemed God was the one punishing me for refusing to do the needful.

Then a church member came to me for blessing saying that her child already procured visa to travel out. That was before covid19 break. I prayed for the child. But God revealed to me in a vision at night that he should not leave Nigeria, and that it will end in tears. I didn't tell them anything about the vision and the child left Nigeria.

The child has just been deported and a lot of money down the drain.

How should a pastor handle this kind of thing without offending those looking for counseling? I will pray for forgiveness, but can God hold me accountable for this error?

God made you go insert yourself into a church as yet another MOG?

Anywho, please read Acts 21. God has not called His followers to become oracles for individuals. You are not called as a fortune teller, or medium or the sort.

Beosten:



I was very sure. My visions had always been 99% correct all the time. I was barely about 3 months in the ministry and you expect me to tell someone that her child should not leave Nigeria after procuring visa?

Beosten:

Read Ezekiel 33:3-6 too.

Ezekil 33:3-6

Wolgrace:
Vision, anointing, gifts, riches, etc have made many Christians (mostly ministers) to be contaminated with pride, self exaltation, and self idolatry. How?

-A word from the Lord concerning someone came to you, then you should show God how humbled you are by asking Him as the God of all flesh to redirect His word to the right owner of the message because He can't withhold His released word back but must be accomplished.. POWER OF INTERCESSION!

Some ministers always want the word from the Lord to pass through them only, which breeds pride, pastoral idoltatry, self appraisal, and sharing of His glory.. More reason I admire MFM ethics, you will be given prayer points to personally get the divine information while they intercede on your behalf to fast tract the answer..

Not all message you tell people as a minister, else you will spoil many things and destroy your ministry. Use wisdom, it is more higher than the anointing and profitable to direct.

I'm talking from experience..

Kobojunkie:
Ezekiel 33 does not apply to you or anyone who is not a descendant of Jacob. Ezekiel's message was rightly to the nation of Israel, not to individuals. Only false prophets in the old covenant gave private oracles, fortune telling, dream interpretation and the lot. The punishment for such persons was death as decreed by God. Deuteronomy 13.

Those who are followers of Jesus Christ listen to the lead of the Spirit of God and the teachings of Jesus Christ.

If you read Acts 23, compare the actions of the prophets there to what God said in Deuteronomy 13 vs 1-6, to see what could have been if those prophets had been under the old covenant.

Beosten:

What that Deuteronomy passage is saying is that a prophet with correct prediction should not be believed if he tries to lead them to other gods.

Beosten:

Thanks bro.
