The very fact that you appear to be benevolent does not portray you to be a true Christian.
The Muslim appears to be benevolent. When you go to the north, you see alhaji and the rest giving alms does it mean they know christ?

You can't mention Christianity in Nigeria without acknowledgement of the effect of missionaries from Scotland etc.
You have to acknowledge the Catholics, methodist etc
You have to acknowledge Samuel Crowther etc when you mention anglican.
When it comes to pentecostal movements then you won't fail to acknowledge Joseph Babalola,Sydney Granville Elton before the modern Benson Idahosa etc.

You are an offsprings of ur parents. You can't just springforth without an impact from someone. That's how it flows

The very fact that the father's of faith disapproved him remains a mistry to Christiandom.

Finally, Joshua said he got born again from his mother's womb this put a lot of questions to his claim



Let these evil greed hearted mainstream pastors replicate quarter of his benevolent acts. Then I will listen. Imagine a supposedly false prophet doing what Jesus said. And the so called true prophets are busy amassing inordinate wealth jets and Estates

Let's be discerning based on the established biblical procedure.

Imagine a greedy pastor pastor that bear the fruits of greed, avarice, and numerous vices, disapproving a man who did the opposite.

GOD can raise a stone to praise him. Any time any day without recourse to men's established pattern. Jeremiah said he was made a prophet from the womb.

JESUS died at the age of 33.5 years. Check up what is called " divine purpose". Man is on time critical mission on earth.
Although man can die before appointed time. Some like Ezekiah even died after appointed time.
The critical thing is for man to identify his divine purpose before his time runs out.
Also he has a responsibility to take care of himself seeking knowledge wisdom and power to do so, so as to withstand the enemy whose mission is to kill, steal and destroy before the appointed time.

The difference is that God lied to christians that he will satisfy them with long life. But because god himself is a dead meat, he can't fulfill his promises.
Because you have not seen long life does mean that there is no existence of long life.

You are limited by what you see in that aspect

if god was real as all religions make us believe, we would not need doctors and hospitals. We would not even need farmers and fishermen.
god can never be as real as God. I believe God and i teust in His healing power. If you live an unholy lifestyle, you'd not be immune to sickness. Living holy isn't easy to many but the truth is, it's the easiest thing, once you give your life to Christ completely.

I can't remember the last time I took ordinary paracetamol. My blood group is O+ while my genotype is AA. My likes are prone to malaria yet, I'm very healthy. When I was still committing sin, I used to fall sick always.

Re: Why Do Some Great Pastors Die Young Despite Healing Many by Eriokanmi: 12:59pm On Mar 17
Most of them are taken away by God as soon as their mission is fulfilled. Bishop Idahosa knew when he was going to die. He told his wife he had fulfilled his mission amd ready to go now. She thought he was joking. She watched him die peacefully.

Apostle Ayo Babalola, the founder of CAC also said the same. The day he died in Ede, he was in a church program. The robe used to cover the pulpit was torn into pieces with a strange hand, and he left . People were in shock.

Young despite being so powerful?
Pagans are the one that worship power with longevity, Christians should worship purpose and service.

It is a great irony to see great clergymen who had an illustrious ministry laden with unbelievable miracles, healings and testimonies die in their prime!
What could be the cause? Did they fall into secret sin? Did they backslide? Did they have dark secrets ? or were they taken to glory early to prevent them from falling into sin and eventual eternal perdition.
Could it be they got so busy with the flock and forgot to take care of themselves.
Look at the great Benson Idahosa, the father of Pentecostalism in Nigeria, he died in his office likely from a cardiac arrest. He was in his late fifties.

TB Joshua, arguably the most talked about clergy in the world, died after alleged health battles which ultimately culminated in his death. He was in his late fifties.

Dare Adeboye, son of the Baba Adeboye died in his sleep likely from a cardiac arrest. He was in his forties.

What are the likely causes so we all learn especially the pastors among us

Stress and Demands of Ministry:
Pastoral roles come with immense stress, including emotional burdens, long working hours, and high expectations.
The pressure to shepherd a congregation, provide spiritual guidance, and manage church affairs can take a toll on pastors’ health.

Lifestyle Choices:
Unhealthy habits, such as lack of exercise, poor diet, and inadequate sleep, contribute to health issues.
Some pastors may neglect self-care while prioritizing their congregations.

Mental Health Challenges:
Depression, anxiety, and burnout affect pastors.
The weight of pastoral responsibilities can exacerbate mental health conditions.
Isolation and Loneliness:
Despite being surrounded by people, pastors may experience isolation.
They often lack close confidants due to the pastoral role’s unique demands.

Spiritual Warfare and Attacks:
Pastors face spiritual battles and attacks.
The enemy seeks to undermine their faith, health, and well-being.

Suicide Risk:
Some pastors struggle silently with mental health issues.
The stigma around seeking help may prevent them from addressing their emotional pain.
Tragically, some pastors die by suicide.

In summary, the challenges pastors encounter—stress, lifestyle choices, mental health, isolation, and spiritual warfare—contribute to their vulnerability. It’s crucial to prioritize pastors’ well-being and support them in their vital role.
Pastor Dare Adeboye died as a result of poison which had deeply affected his system. It was revealed that a key member of the church did it and this affected him for long, causing him to depreciate physically.

They poisoned his dad too but God rescued him. We thank God for his much He had used him since then, globally. In the midst of God's people are people of evil.

If only you know them in secrecy, you will know that they are only mere men before God. Many of the healings were arranged

If they are real, they will perform miracles in the order of Jesus.

Jesus move about n around doing miracles but these men only heal from their comfort zone(church)

It is an insult to the memory of Bishop Idahosa to mention his name and that of at TB Joshua in the same breath when talking about Christian Pastors. They are poles apart: One is a Christian and the other is not. Sorcerers perform miracles and that doesn't make them less of who they are.

That being said, several reasons including the physical and spiritual may contribute to the early demise of some Pastors. Pastors are human and are advised to look after their physical health.

The Lord Jesus died young at the age of 33. This is after He had fulfilled His ministry. Yes, Jesus is the Great Apostle of the Christian faith. Whether you are called to the fivefold ministry or not you are free to go home to be with the Lord after you have fulfillled your ministry.

I agree with the Op regarding other factors that take heavy toll on their health but this also applies to everyone. As such, pastors are humans like any of us. The key here is to take care of one's health. Moses' father-in-law, Jethro, advised him to delegate duties to the Israelites so as not to be overburdened by them. Had he not done so Moses would have probably died earlier than he did.

Some pastors also do face the warfare (bizarre according to wordly standards) aspects of their calling such as helping an individual, family, community, or nation be delivered from satanic strongholds that may have been running for generations. Some pastors confront these demons (princes and rulers of wickedness) without proper spiritual mapping and preparation. This results in the death of some of this pastors. One has to be anointed and directed by God before embarking on spiritual liberation against evil entities.

The Lord Jesus Christ didn’t die but offer Himself as a sacrificial Lamb to take away our sins for that was His purpose for been born of a woman.
