Femi Arigbisala has no business with the gospel. What he needs is not to preach but to be delivered of the evil spirit that is trying to use him to create confusion amongst the feeble minded. No one preaches the gospel except commisioned of the Holy spirit, otherwise, he preaches but heresy. Paul we all know, was confronted on His way to Damascus and was converted and commisioned a preacher unto the Gentiles by same Jesus Himself. Paul in one of His epistols said that "No one lays any other foundation, but upon the one laid by Jesus, builds all men. Paul never laid another foundation but built upon Jesus'. Jesus thaught as unto infants because the Holy spirit has not yet descended to make the wisdom in His teachings manifest. But Paul as commisioned of the holy spirit, elaborated on the topics by the power of the Holy spirit. People like Femi who are not commisioned of the Holy spirit, will only get confused. Paul never preached himself but Jesus, so why should any one ask us to choose between Jesus or Paul? The power of the Holy spirit upon Paul as opportioned by Jesus Christ manifested in many miracles during His days. I dare ask, Femi, "by what authority are you preaching?" are they just bubbles from your brain?

How do you knw who is commisioned of the holy spirit...

Yes my brother, some pastors just got a theological degree and starts preaching the gospel. Buh there are those called by God to preach. Those that have been commisioned even from birth to spread the gospel by the power and revelation of the Holy sprirt. People like Paul in the Bible were commisioned. That was why His works were acompanied with great signs and wonders, just like Jesus Himself. Remember, he was confronted on his way to Damascus and was commisioned to go and preach to the gentiles. However, theological pastors only try to use their personal ideologies to interprete, thereby confusing the word of God. You cannot understand the things of God except the spirit of God be with you.

We are saying the same thing my dear. Must everyone be a preacher? The gifts of the holy spirit are many. It'll be pertinent to discover the ministry in which u are called, so u will be led by the spirit to excel in it. Most of these people you are talking about, out of frustration and hunger due to lack of Jobs, joing the theological schools. Having in mind that they will be posted to one of the branches after graduation. And by which means, overcome their joblessnes. When you are not called to preach, my brother, you are on your own. This does not mean that you can not read the Bible and share opinions with your fellow worshippers. But sitting on the seat of Moses without being commisioned of the Holy spirit is dangerous. Because you migth be preaching Heresy just like Femi and therby, heaping coals of fire on your head.

. That is what the Bible calls " the blind leading the blind." who sent you? Compare this to your self and the Dog you have at home. You know, no matter how much you strive to teach your dog to behave and undstand like a humanbeing, it must always betray you because it doesn't have the spirit man. Imagine that some white men have been trying to teach the dog even to drive. But what happens? They will always cratch the cars, because they dnt have the spirit of man and thereby can never understand the things of man. So is it between us and God. Except you are commisioned of the spirit of God, you will always make mess of your trying to interprete the hidden wisdom in the word of God. In that case, u can only share opinions. But you dnt have the commision to teach the people.

You do not need to be called to be a preacher or bishop, etc. It is a voluntary service that should come with a lot of sacrifices.

BobNeli:

There is no seat of Moses in Christianity. No one Christian should be assumed higher than the order or fitter to sit on some throne or special chair like the Pharisees.

Below is a bible passage for reference:

1THE SAYING is true and irrefutable: If any man [eagerly] seeks the office of bishop (superintendent, overseer), he desires an excellent task (work).
2Now a bishop (superintendent, overseer) must give no grounds for accusation but must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, circumspect and temperate and self-controlled; [he must be] sensible and well behaved and dignified and lead an orderly (disciplined) life; [he must be] hospitable [showing love for and being a friend to the believers, especially strangers or foreigners, and be] a capable and qualified teacher
- 1 Timothy 3:1

The Bible did not say you must be called to be a pastor, bishop, etc. It says if you DESIRE or SEEK it (Voluntary).

Have u ever wondered why there are so much diversities in interpretations of the same word of God today? So many theives have invaded christiendom trying to use their human idealogies to interprete the very mind of God. Thereby qouting the Bible and word of God to own understanding at their own peril. Some will even twist it for extortion. Sory that I used the word thieves. But the Bible said. At the last day, they will say. Lord, we preached in ur name. But He will answer them. Go away, for I do not know who you are. Listen, God Himself knows that the harvest is plenty and has equally comissioned a neccessary number of laboures. The problem is that some who are called to preach has even refused to take up their duties while many who not called decide to utilise the opportunity to amass their wealth

In essense, we need God's intervention by way of decerning spirit to overcome. Though the Bible has made us to understand that by their fruits we shall know them. Taking refrence from Femi's sermon. At least, we can understand better what the Bible is saying concerning knowing them by their fruits

My brother, I dnt think so. They always betray themselves in one way or the other. Like when an aclaimed pastor goes against the Bible teachings, just like Femi, to prove his own wisdom, u know what it means. When pastors center their preachings on wealth acquisition. U know what that means. For instance, u come across a pastor cruising in his luxry car whilst u are striving for what to eat. But he still preaches u to sow a seed offering in his hands. They forget that God is never intrested in what u give than in the mind in which it is given. For example, when Jesus thaught about the widow's might. She was never told by anybody to put that oferring. But from her heart, did she. And that was why God was so pleased with her. Jesus Himself was the Rabai. But when the 5000 were hungry, he turned to His disciples and commanded that they should give them what they had, and not vice verca. Even when what they had was not enough, He had to put up a miracle. But our present day extotioners in the name of preaching the gospel, would have made the most matterial gains out of those people. Not all pastors, but those impostors, who are not called. Christians were first called christians in Anthioc in Psydia due to their life style. Because they always shared what they had. But the impostors today, dnt share theirs. Only the members are yoked to bring, thereby giving them the opportunity to amass their wealth at the expense of those members. You see a member to a church, living in tatched liking roofs while his/her pastor lives in a mansion. Yet, the predicaments of this member is never brought b4 the congregation anyday. However, if this same pastor wishes to celebrate his birthday, the members will be tasked to make donations for it. Well, they call it the blessings of God. Maybe those members who are in thesame church with them are cursed while they are blessed. The Bible knows what He meant by "by their fruits, you shall know them."

Rich4god:

Remember that the matyres of the gospel, expecially the appostles and certain of the deciples were only hungry for spreading the gospel and never in amassing wealth. Those were the ones commisioned by Jesesus whilst He was on Earth. And those commisioned of the holy spirit after Jesus' ascension. Remembering Steven, Barnabas, Paul, Timoty. Etc. May I remind you that Paul, whilst he was persecuting the christians, thaught he knew what he was doing because he was learned in the laws and the prophets. He knew the laws and prophecies by his finger tips. Which made him so agressive that these group of heathen people as his literal understanding of the word of God told him then, are due for extermination. Because he was not yet commisioned. But when Jesus confronted him and commisioned him. He began led by the holy spirit to know the truth. Teahing or preaching the word of God, needs spirit intimation otherwise, one will only be carried away by the logos of the word(literal meanings of the word) to mislead many. There is rhema in every word of God, and that is what the spirit of God teaches you. But human consciousness, teaches you the logos, which might be misleading. Remember that Jesus warned even His appostles never to preach anything until He has ascended into heaven and send them the holy spirit who will reveal the truth in His word to them. Jesus knew vividly that eventhough He had spent good time with them, only the Holy spirit can enlighten them to the realities of the gospel. B4 even Jesus Himself, began His ministry, remember, after His baptism, the holy spirit descended on Him and empowered Him to embark on the task. No one interpretes the mind of God except the spirit of God be with that one.
