Beware Of Student Pastors! (true Life Story) by Mightyify(m): 8:19am On Jan 24, 2015 |
I wanted to do a political status today until i remembered what happened last semester in school. My faculty girl has been pestering me to visit their church even if it could be just once in my whole life. "Ify, we're having a special service on Sunday, you must come this time around" she said. I wanted to give an excuse but i ended up saying yes. Sunday morning, my sleep was cut short with her frequent calls, i got up, dressed and head to the church. "brother, you're welcome to the service" an usher said with a smile and pointed to me where to sit. The whole atmosphere was agog with shouts of joy, i was enjoying myself until i noticed two neatly dressed young outside the church auditorium discussing with one of them demonstrating with his hands. "who are those people?" i asked as if i was seeing the pastor for the first time, "our pastor of course, but the other man could be his friend, seems you're a first timer?' The guy sitting behind me replied. "hmmm, i hope it is not what i am thinking" i muttered to myself. I was not disappointed as the student pastor whose dressing was sharp introduced his friend(guest speaker) to the congregation and handed over the mic to him for his sermon. "how many people want 'A' this semester, can you give the Lord a big shout" he said. Almost all the students shouted to the extent i blocked my ears. I didn't know that someone could buy an A from God with just a shout, but at least I learnt that day. "Come and seal your A with a seed" he said. Students flooded the offering box with money, "those of you sitting down, do you not want an A?" he chided. few people who were sitting down got up and went straight to the offering box. After that, he introduced his message title. Before i continue let me brief you of this chief student pastor(the church founder). He was once a student of our school or rather he still is a student. He has spent over 10 years in the school, anybody who graduated from EBSU in the past decade will definitely know him or at least have heard about him. He drives cars that lecturers can only dream of. By now you must have been thinking how he managed to defraud students of such huge sum of money. Students are made to pay tithes, sow seeds(phones and laptops inclusive), first fruits, huge offerings in exchange of academic excellence. He goes to pre degree school where he arrests the minds of these youths who are desperately looking for admission and brainwashed them into believing that their admission and academic success is largely tied to him. Funny enough when these students are admitted into the university, they become his slave till their rest of days on campus. I have to admit that it is a shame that such deception should take place even in the university community, people regarded as intellectuals should allow themselves to be deceived by just a fellow student. How can a reasonable person think that writing exam with a pen anointed by a pastor will give him an 'A' when he did not study? How sensible is it for a student who is not working, whose parents are struggling to train in school, be giving a pastor huge sum of money just to pass his exams? Does God exchange good grades with money? Can you pass your exams even if you didn't give a pastor a penny? Well, let's return to what happened that day because it was even more surprising and disappointing at the same time. to be continued.... Stay tuned! 15 Likes 3 Shares |

I am sorry to say this If am a member of a church the pastor is richer than me, I don't dare to offer him any dime. I rather offer or give my money to beggers. Whatsoever you do to the least of my brother (s)that you do unto Jesus. 7 Likes |

The post made by the op reminds me of something I experienced while I was in school. A guy claiming to be a pastor/evangelist walked into predegree hall and began to preach. By the time this guy finished the sermon, he ask those in the hall that were serious to sow a seed of N1000 so that God can secure admission for them. You won't believe that nothing less than 100 students came out on the spot to sow the "seed" there. Some that didn't have promised to give next time they saw him. The guy walk out of that hall with nothing less than 100k in his pockets. He came a couple more times to milk the cash cow before the school authorities banned preaching in pedegree hall. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Please moderator kindly move this to front page. Jambites and our undergraduates should be informed less they fall for this deception. Parents need to be informed too. They need to know where some of the money they sent to their children in school goes to... At the pocket of their fellow student. Those calling for the part 2...don't worry it is down already, let the moderator do the needful first. 3 Likes |

Be careful, don't generalise. Don't give your soul over to Satan becos of the wolf in sheep clothing Christ warned us about long time ago. These types of criminals thrives becos we look and want to associate with flashy presentation. A true pastor living a humble life without flashy car and designer's suit hardly find followers. So look inward first before you blame others. 1 Like |

This post is somehow true but it is not right to generalize that all student pastors are crooks or money grubbers. The university is a microcosm of the larger society. just as there are fake pastors and real men of God in the society, so also do we have fake pastors as well as real pastors in the university. There is nothing wrong with giving offering and even sowing seed as long as you are led by the spirit to do so and not by the compulsion of the pastor. If you have a conviction in your heart to sow a seed you don't need to wait for the pastor to call and if you are not led to do so, the pastor's call shouldn't make you do otherwise. Even the Bible says ''wisdom is profitable to direct': 2 Likes |
