Why Do Most People, Especially Christains Believe That Pastors Must Be Poor? by Muna4real(f): 9:30pm On Jan 22, 2022
I just don't get it? So he must be living in a hut before you will believe that he's a pastor? Or genuine? Any pastor riding a flashy car or living comfortably is fake while the one riding a bicycle is real. Why do you guys think like this?

Both the one riding a flashy car and the one riding a bicycle are both fake, there's nothing like real man of God anymore the difference is just that the one riding a bicycle is yet to cash out on his followers.

because as a Pastor you're meant to live an exemplary life just like they first disciples. You can't be driving flashy cars while they are the poor amongst you.

Indeed, Poverty is a mental stronghold.

How can you be wishing someone to be poor or living a life of 1 BC or 1AD?

Truly, wickedness is real.

Hope you can become a Potter or go and do fishing with wooden canoe in the midst of the sea.

The 3rd world society we live in as a lot to do with such mentality and unfortunately most xtians don't study the Bible.
Having and enjoying wealth as a man Of God does not make him fake, his calling might be questionable when he's driven by money and tends to exhibits attributes such as pride, oppression, greed, self-centered, ungenerous etc. not because he drives flashy cars etc

I can already tell you don't read to understand just a stereotypical nairalander....

because if it was otherwise you'd have first and foremost noticed "cars" not "car" which either way doesn't in any way imply a pastor being poor.

come to think of it have you ever read the Bible?

First and foremost, there are no genuine pastors. God did not call any man to become a pastor for Him - Ezekiel 34 vs 1 - 16 & John 10.vs 1 - 16 - So know that all of those men whose church businesses you flock to regularly have absolutely nothing to do with Jesus Christ and hence God. They are instead the thieves who you were warned will come to steal from God's sheep, kill the fat of God's flock and destroy God's flock this while hiding behind the name of God. undecided

Followers of Jesus Christ are commanded to abandon all they have in order to become worthy of Jesus Christ, and His Kingdom. They are also not expected to amass treasures for themselves here on earth since according to Jesus Christ, where you treasures are is where your heart is. undecided

The work of the ministers is explained in acts of apostles where the rich drops at apostles feet (faithful ones) to share according to the need of every man. This century preachers gather into their bank account negleting the poor which is an evidence of unfaithfulness. You are there to balance the equation between the rich and poor.

What people call poor, is The Way! And if he is genuine, he would not be a pastor for no one would go to his church.

Poor is not the same as poverty. Poverty is indeed a punishment and a curse.

But as Christ Said the poor have a better chance of entering the kingdom of God IF ONLY THEY KNOW!

We know genuines and we know fakes so, If a pastor is genuine, he would even be beyond query, for everyone knew him and his True Story.

When people do wrong, complaints will certainly be raised up against them.
