Dilemma Of A Pastor by Caracta(f): 3:36am On Aug 01, 2012 |
I got this mail from an old friend, a Pastor of a small church, married with three kids. Here is the mail: 'Hi friend. I got a job offer at a BREWERY as an Accountant through a POWERFUL uncle. As a Pastor, i've always preached against alcoholic drinks. If i accept the offer, i would be seen as a hypocrite and bad example in my church (working in an alcoholic factory). I could even lose the confidence of my members. If i reject it, my uncle would be furious and could even report me to my wife. I know that woman! It would affect my marriage. What should i do? I have serious financial problems. Could this be temptation? Pls advise me. I've always trusted your judgment' O ye wise nairalanders, please advise this young man/pastor. |

Caracta: I got this mail from an old friend, a Pastor of a small church, married with three kids. Here is the mail: So as an accountant? I think your pastor friend should rather concern his thinking and fear with "thiefing money" rather than occupy himself with thought of working in a brewery probably because of the environment or consumption of alcohol content. He will have greater temptation with money than drinking of alcohol content. Let him go work so as to provide for his family until he get another better offer if he doesn't like this one because of his faith. Besides, I don't see anything wrong working as ACCOUNTANT in a BREWERY. 1 Like |

Nigerian Christians are such phariceees and saducees. Who sent him message in the first place to be demonizing wine? ![]() Everything is to be taken in moderation and glory given to God. Even Timothy in the bible had to drink wine because of something. Jesus himself drank wine. All that aside, Wine is a good drink ![]() Some people are just so very....unnecessary 1 Like |

Funny thing is, he wouldn't see this as a dilemma if his church was big and raking in millions. But with his small church not living up to expectation, an alternative is sort. I'm sure his uncle didn't getting him d job out of d blue. He must have asked for it. Conclusion? Nigerians churches = money making business |

Mhhhh I think the first thing you should do that pastor is to stop lying. There is a pastor who would like to work ... so, will that pastor in his church ... living of tithes and sweat of others ... |

Ptolomeus:That's if he has rich members. His members might be petty traders and low-income earners. |
