Need Advice On What To Do by Anwons(m): 12:23am On Jun 19, 2019
I have an issue which I had taken decision too but I don't know how I should end it with him.

This is the story.
Few months ago, march precisely, I attended a program at another church, at the end, the prophet said he would want to see me the next day. I went and he told me that God wants me to work with him as an assistant Pastor. I was shocked and surprised, why? I have never gone through any training to that effect or neither am I a Pastor.

Though, even if I've been told that I have a call, I don't think it should just happen just like that, besides, that he didn't even know me, but he insisted.

After that, calls, meeting, etc. began. But leaving my Church just like that became a problem and I decided to really observe to at least understand who I'm to work with.

By may ending, a member of the Church had a matter with the police and he was arrested. The prophet told me and said he was able to raise money to effect the Man's bail. By first week of this June, I started hearing unpleasant story.
What is the story? While the man was in detention, he told his wife to sell their home theatre(radio) because there was no money. The Prophet went and arranged an imposter who pretended to be the one to buy the radio, while he(prophet) was actually the one buying the item with his money given to the imposter with an amount less than 20℅ worth the value of the home theatre.

After the deal, the man and his wife heard it and they told me. On hearing this, I made up my mind not to actually work with him.

The problem now is that, I have stopped going closer to him, he has been calling but I haven't gone to see him.

Area I needed advice is, is it necessary for me to just cut off the relationship without giving him any reason? Or should I ask him about this? possibly, informing him that that is what or the reason I may not be able to work with him?

I wouldn't want to judge though, but at the same time, this scenario didn't portray a genuine Christian life not to talk about being born again.

You fell for one of the temptations. He massaged your ego and you allowed satan to get between you and God and went and worshipped your pastor.

I think you know what to do. I have faith you do.

Basically, it was just your first month in the church and see whats happening. Police arresting members...pastor conniving to obtain members properties at extremely cheap amount.
One has to be very careful this days, one UNEMPLOYED person will just stand up and set up a church..if the person understand Psychology very well, church don blow be that.

Just run back to your church

I believe you have prayed about this and asked God to show you the way. In addition, I also commend you for showing good judgement to actually waiting before making any type of decision to join the pastor.
These are the end days and there are many who claim to be called by God but in reality are the ones who called themselves.
For me, human relationships are like body parts, if you find a body part that's gangrenous and potentially fatal, you should cut it off.
Like someone already said up there, I have faith that you know what to do. Jesus will lead you.

Run for your life. You said you have been told in the past that you have a call, and this prophet must have seen your glory, and wants to temper with it. Nobody should be trusted in life, yes ask him about the electronic gadgets, but would he tell the truth? Or will he play with words to make it look like he is innocent?

Fact is, it is very easy as a child of God to hear directly from God about the issue. The first thing you should have done was to ask God about it, tho I feel God is already showing you that you should not work with that pastor,that is why you saw all the occurrences that unfolded.

It's not late to find out from God. Pick a day you know you will stay at home all through, be on fast, meditate on the word, tell God that you need Him to speak to you about the pastor. Keep yourself clean, tell God that if you are to work with the pastor, as I sleep tonight, may I see myself in the pastors church/let me see the pastor in my dreams. But if am not to work with him, let me not see him or his church. Repeat the prayers at night immediately you are about to sleep. You will get clear answers if you follow the steps correctly.

N/B: often, we cannot tell powers that are in our environment, so when praying prayers for revelation, it is good to pray with low tones/ meditation, don't scream and shout such prayers, so that unknown forces do not influence the reply to your message at night.
