Some people has turn pastor to their demigod, any little thing pastor ooo my husband has started again oo, pastors ooo my wife is that... As for me i will go with my parents advice, pastor my foot.The moment you start referencing pastor(s) they see themselves as important. This is what is affecting Nigeria as a country. The same applies to the Muslims, their Imam is their demigod.

People should not compare two things that are not compatible.Parents have their roles towards their children and pastors have an obligation towards the spiritual needs of their congregation.Develop a strong personal relationship with God so that you can have confidence in your own opinion.Seek the guidance and advice of your parents on any matter you wish to undertake and you may confide in your pastor on your future plans if you so wish. NEVER COMPARE YOUR PASTOR TO YOUR PARENTS! and NEVER COMPARE YOUR MOTHER TO YOUR WIFE. They serve you in different ways.

NEITHER . I'll "listen" to what they have to say, but at the end of the day I'll do what I feel is best. Some of you going all "parents" "pastor" I feel bad for you, the sooner you realize you are in this world alone the better. At the end of the day, you're the only person who can lookout for yourself. Not the sheikh/imam, pastors, rabbi ( definitely not them),mommy, daddy, aunty, uncle, sister, brother, cousin, friend, e.t.c but You.

It depends on the issue at hand and the individual involved!


God's charge to parents is, "Train up a child in the way he SHOULD go: when he is old, he will not the depart from it!"- Proverbs 22:6

If this command is not violated on the part of the parents, then the individual will definitely have to make a choice!

BUT,

No matter the case, God did command the child to, "Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord hath giveth thee!-Exodus 20:12

Now,

When a Man of God {Pastor, Prophet etc.} by virtue of his ministry gives you an instruction that seems to contradict {in a way} what your parents wanted such an individual {at this point, I mean an adult of say 20 and above} to do... at this point, the individual HAS THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY TO DECIDE; to follow mum and dad's instruction or to follow the Pastor's, it's solely A QUESTION OF FAITH!
But remember, our parent's choice for us sometimes {though are of good intentions} can be selfish!


Jesus did say in Matthew 10:37 that, "he that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter than me is not worthy of me."

Like I said, IT'S A QUESTION OF FAITH and A MATTER OF CHOICE!
God bless us all! [/b]

Mamacita007: be careful with the way some of u insult men of God. he has given us common sense to choose your own opinion whether right or wrong. it depends on the kind of advise they gave u. if ur mom ask u to sell ur soul to the devil for example by doing something bad will u do it? same thing if ur pastor asks u to sleep wit him for blessings will u do it? its not everytime i agree with my pastor
lol @d bolded.

Ur parent ain't got no reason 2 mislead u except someone has casted a spell or cantrip on dem 2do so.

Ur pastor may not also ve any reason 2, bt rememba dat is primary priority re his biological children.


It 'd beta 2 tk advices frm someone who has made u his/her best n first priority


Wat church do u attend?

My take is dt one shld put into considerations factors lyk; Knowledge,Experience,Sincerity, n Spirituality. Seeking advice shldn't be based on sentiments or emotions, U gotta employ d ryt man 4d job. My own case is a very rare example, av got a father who doubles as my spiritual leader.So,I reali dnt need to boggle my mind in d cause of selecting who my adviser wil be.Bt com 2tink of it, if my Dad hadn't bn my spiritual leader, wld av stil relied on his advise cos He possesses all d qualities of a gud adviser....

I have come a very long way with those two wonderful and rare people in my life and there's no way I am trading their advice for any pastor, priest, bishop, imam or pope.... God blessed both of them with wisdom, wisdom I can't comprehend sometimes....but hey I am happy they are in my life with all that wisdom.

Even my own Dad doesnt advice me, he only just chips in a few words, the advice he gives since i became an adult is,

''Son, you should know where you are going to from where you are coming from, the best advice is the one you give yourself''

i can listen to advice from any1 from now till tomorrow, at the end i still do the exact thing i have in mind. If i make mistake finally, i go learn

There are some issues one should take in considration pastor advice, some will follow parent advice..... but the truth is, if God speaks through both of them, it will surely be the same.... all the same, KNOW THE GOD YOU ARE SERVING so that guide you on any advice and issue you are in to.... ''ONLY GOD, NOTHING ELSE.......''

Your parent should be ur advicer on plain matters until u tink that the matter has taken a meta physical direction.that is when ur pastor should come in,a good pastors advice should be in conformity with ur parents.else run 4 ur dear life.

Why can't God talk to me directly?
The veil has been torn,in case you forgot.
So in your books, he can't talk to me directly but he can talk to pastor directly?
No be the same Jesus grant two of us access to the father?
Abi na different blood ransom the pastor?
