All pastors, and i repeat all pastors are thieves. I only regard catholic Rev.Fr as the only people with divine calling though it doesn't take away the fact that some of them have become driven by worldly pleasures and manipulated by the devil.

Op u need only God in ur life not a pastor. Don't be silly.

Lalas247:

Jesus is not a man
Whydoyouprayin his name

Jesus wasn't a Jinn. So, he definitely was a man!

We pray in his name because as a prophet, he said "whatever you ask by his name, you shall get..."

So, he is the pathway to God - that's why we had prophets, to come guide us to God.

Like Moses who delivered the Torah, Jews pray in his name. Mohammad (SAW) who delivered the Quran, Muslims pray in his name (Ni Ola Anobi wa Mohammad...) ...

RapportNaija:


Think of it as some form of "mentorship", and you can clearly see the OP 6 reasons... Yes, we need God in our lives, but if it was just that, God would not have sent Moses, Noah, Jesus, and all other prophets to guide people on Earth!

Think, learn to read and think clearly!

These aforementioned Prophets had served their purposes and Left.
However,you CANNOT by any means compare them with your supposed " mentors'' disguised as MOG.

ATIKUisCOOL:


These aforementioned Prophets had served their purposes and Left.
However,you CANNOT by any means compare them with your supposed " mentors'' disguised as MOG.

That was not a comparison.

Nothing bad in spiritual mentorship, as long as it is of God!

I'm a Muslim, and I have to admit that I dread some top Islamic scholars, because of their sheepish ways, but trust me, if you have a good spiritual mentor, life wouldn't be too hard to understand.

talkeverytime:
In today's world where there is lack of respect for spiritual authority and so much bad talks and accusation about men of God, people find it difficult to refer to a particular person as their pastor or man of God probably for the fear of being deceived or duped by the Pastor or being seen as a weak fellow for having "a Pastor".


It should be noted that for the case of this discussion, the word Pastor is used as a generic word for the five fold ministry (Apostles, Prophets, Teachers, Pastors and Evangelists).
Now, I've heard a lot of people say things like "I don't need a Pastor to tell me what God says", "I can read the Bible for myself", "God can talk to me anywhere and anytime, I don't need any MOG". Some have even gone as far as labeling all Pastors entrepreneurs and fraudsters. The question I will like to ask you is why did God give us these ministry gifts if we do not need them? In Ephesians 4 verse 11, the Bible says ;
"And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers" KJV
So did God just give us these gifts that we do not need? No, we need them obviously and that's why he gave them to us. He told us the reason for giving them in the following verses. Ephesians 4 verse 12 - 14
"[12] For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
[13] Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ
[14]That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; " KJV
I'm going to break down these reasons simpler for you to understand.

You need a "Pastor" to teach you.

I've explained that I'm using the word Pastor for the five fold ministry in this article, so I believe it shouldn't be a problem anymore.
Now you may say you can read the Bible and learn for yourself, I agree with you. In fact, you should read the Bible and know the word for yourself. But that doesn't replace the part of the Pastors, they are specially ordained by God for this purpose and there is an anointing upon their lives to carry it out.

You need someone to monitor your growth.

Yes, you do. Even though not all Pastors perform this properly but it's part of their job. They act like fathers to see to your well-being, your spiritual well-being particularly. Your spiritual well-being controls the physical, so once you perfect it there, you'll perfect it in other areas. So the Pastor watches you grow spiritually and detects when you're not making progress like you should do.

For correction .

This supports the point above. Your Pastor is there to correct you when you miss it. Once he detects that you're doing the wrong thing or not doing something right, he comes in.

You need a Pastor to inspire and motivate you.

You can say this is the work of a motivational speaker. Calm down. What I mean is you need someone to inspire you to do the things of God and to grow spiritually. That is what the Pastor should do with his teaching and his lifestyle.

You need a Spiritual Head to guide you.

There are just sometimes we need guidance. Yes, we have the HolySpirit to guide and direct us. But remember, one of the end reasons God gave us these five fold ministry is that "we should not be tossed to and fro" . It means these offices are required to keep us in a straight path. And you also need someone that represents you on the altar. You should not just pay your tithes to anyone and everyone. Take it to the Church (the church you attend; that is you must have a particular church) and give it in your church, that's where the blessing lies.

To protect you

Yes, your Pastor "keeps" you, through prayers, his word and prophecy over your life and his teachings. The fourteenth verse of Ephesians 11 suggests that Christians can be deceived by the cunning craftiness of men. This five fold ministry helps to prevent that and protect you.
So prayerfully seek for a church and join. Follow the leader attentively, it may be a Pastor, Prophet, Teacher, Apostle or Evangelist. They are all ordained for us.

WHY YOU don't need jesus
“I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel” (Matthew 15:24).
Jesus selected Jewish disciples, spoke in Jewish synagogues and the Jewish temple, and traveled mostly in Jewish areas. His mission, in fulfillment of the Jewish prophets, was to the Jewish people.
“a Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, ‘Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is demon-possessed and suffering terribly’” (Matthew 15:22).
This Gentile woman recognized Jesus as the Messiah (“Son of David”), but “Jesus did not answer a word” (verse 23). As the woman kept up her appeals, Jesus finally responded, but His words seemed to hold little hope: “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel” (verse 24)
Jesus’ concern for Israel was shown in the instructions to the twelve disciples as He sent them out on their first preaching mission. “Do not go in the way of the Gentiles,” He said, “and do not enter any city of the Samaritans; but rather go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel” (Matt 10:5-6).
and is lam comfirmed it
And [mention] when Jesus, the son of Mary, said, "O children of Israel, indeed I am the messenger of Allah to you confirming what came before me of the Torah and bringing good tidings of a messenger to come after me, whose name is Ahmad." But when he came to them with clear evidences, they said, "This is obvious magic." quran 61:6

this is why we africans and the other races do not jesus or christainity
we need islam sent to the whole of the world
the qur'an confirms it
(oh muhammad) We have not sent thee, save as a mercy unto all beings. quran (21:107)

Mr man don't dabble into what you don't understand! Jesus was given to the world John 3:16 His own assignment may be to the lost sheep of Israel, but he Himself sent his disciples to Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and to the uppermost part of the world including your compound and Kaaba! So repent! And give your life to Jesus.Acts 1:8

Our spiritual lackadaisical had made us to idolize pastors and relegate the Holy Spirit to the background, I have heard the H.S spoke to me what I will never hear anywhere." When He comes he will show you what to come" there is a way you hear from Him and you will not be able to deny it. In as much I didn't go against having a pastor, let show some responsibility by seeking for more relationship with the Holy spirit.

Some of these pastors think dey are smart. prey on lonely ladies and christians who refuse to know the truth and ask questions. Most are motivated not by any honest calling and some thar are lose their calling for money along the way.

You are a pastor on your own. Jesua intention is that the throne be set and all men be there. That is to say, you ought to be a god or Christ in your life. No man I closer to God more than you because God is you and within you. It's just ignorance that have tied man to worship other men in awe.
