Types Of Pastors In Nigeria. by quicyvictor(m): 2:45pm On Oct 23, 2015
Nigerians see their pastors in different ways today. Below are some views as written by a
Nigerian:

1. THE FUNKY PASTOR.
Lately, these set of pastor are becoming trending in our dear country, there are Worldly, carnal, ungodly pastors who watered down the gospel to please people. They take advantage of people, women being their top targeted prey, immorality is the order of the day.

2. THE BUSINESSMEN
These set of pastors are the kinds that seek the ministry simply because of revenue and money making. Much emphasis are laid on finance, prosperity etc as their top priority is making money. They function as the chief executive officers of their ministry and it being run with business principles.

3. THE ORATORS :
The vocational pastors are in the ministry not because God called them, they rather called themselves. The respect and honour accorded to men of God is what lured them in. They posses great oratory power and verbosity, these great tools, they use to blindfold people.

4. OCCULTIC PASTORS:
Well! These are the people who have no business being in the ministry, but they are there all the same. Some are herbalist and magicians, or simply, they go to this evil forces toget their powers while some are Cult members who claim to be born-again. With these powers, they convince the gullible Nigerians to believe them.

5. POLITICAL PASTORS:
We all know them, their kinds were very much seen months ago during the election era. They were once servants of the Lord, but have now gone back to wrong things as they no longer have time to preach and nourish the sheep’s of the lord, their time is spent running church campaign, meeting upon meetings.

6. THE MINISTRY FOCUSED PASTORS:
Very committed to the ministry works, focused and determine. The work of God top their itinerary and every other things appears secondary. Their wives are lonely, embittered and not taken care of, of course with their children.

7. SICK PASTORS,
Physically fit but spiritually retarded. They don’t know their left from right and which path to thread, ungodly sinful and wicked.

8. EVOLUTIONAL PASTORS:
City to city, nation to nation, making money from the gullible ones. These set uses laptops in replacements of the bible. Adorned with Iphones and other latest technological appliances. Don’t get me wrong, i am not saying they shouldn’t use these gadgets. No, after all it aids quicken the work of God, but they tend to over use it. They sometimes preach from their homes, through social media e.g Skype, and fly around with luxuries private jet. And are proud owners of them.

9. THE MISLED: They are pastors that start rightly in the beginning but the interpretation of the Word of God got them lost.
They preach the part of the Word of God that favours their ministries and condemn anyone that trys to correct them.

10. THE SERVANTS: These are men who love God. They believe everything on earth is vanity. They won't buy a jet for the sake of evangelism but will sell their personal cars/belongings to help the poor. They will preach love and show it. Rare species in this trying times, just like David, they are men after Gods heart. Called by God, commissioned by him. The ways of the world are not found in these great men of God as they posses truthfulness integrity and honesty, truly, these are the servant of God.
