That pastor is a thief

tobechi20: Should pastors be paid for performing miracle?
YES,if the miracle was performed outside of JESUs.(if he uses juju power,he should be paid afterall he recieved the power with money)

1 Corinthians 12;8-10
To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit,
to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit,
to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues.

1 Corinthians 12:7 Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.

Matthew 10:8

Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.

However, as said above, if the 'pastor' paid for the 'power', then .......... wink

Acts 8:18-22.  When Simon saw that the Spirit was given at the laying on of the apostles' hands, he offered them money 19 and said, "Give me also this ability so that everyone on whom I lay my hands may receive the Holy Spirit."

20 Peter answered: "May your money perish with you, because you thought you could buy the gift of God with money! 21 You have no part or share in this ministry, because your heart is not right before God. 22 Repent of this wickedness and pray to the Lord in the hope that he may forgive you for having such a thought in your heart.


From the passage above, any pastor that asks you for money isn't a child of God. Jesus and his disciples made sure they lived an exemplary life so we might follow in their footsteps.

Therefore flee from such people...cos they're lovers of money and not of God.

Should pastors be paid for performing miracle?

Jesus was very clear.

Matthew 10:8

Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give..


You don't charge for ministrying to people. But at the same time the bible instructs those who have been blessed by a minister to minister to such a won. In physical things. But jesus didnt say a minister should not recieve. So the point is . The minister trust agod for his need. He minister freely by the word of God. The congregation also recieved and practice Ministering , appreciating or sowing see to the life of the man who has blessed them . That's what the word command.

Galatians 6:6-7
Be Generous and Do Good 6 Let him who is taught the word share in all good things with him who teaches.7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.


So God is not against a minister receiving . Jesus himself receive money and support from the people.

Luke 8:3
Joanna, Chuza's wife (Chuza was King Herod's business manager and was in charge of his palace and domestic affairs), Susanna, and many others who were contributing from their private means to the support of Jesus and his disciples.

A minister is sustained by his faith. Congregant are blessed by their giving. Every body should do what the word instructs them. If there's any minister that change money for preaching or healing , he will corrupt his anointing .

Re: Should Pastors Be Paid For Performing Miracles by Joagbaje(m): 5:25pm On Sep 15, 2012
Either miracle or teaching . Ministration is ministration every minister should receive support . Its biblical , it's wrong for a minister to demand for money . But those who are blessed by a minister should learn to reciprocate according to their abilities.

Agreed. All services rendered must be paid for. Nothing goes for nothing. Whoever does not want the miracle service should just stay away.
