Recent Nigerian Pastors Crisis, The Early Christians And Jesus by MORNDEW(m): 7:01pm On Oct 09, 2014
Recently, some Nigerian pastors have been faced with serious crisis .Some of which include, collapse, Divorce, money laundering, scandal, among others. In life whether as a christian, pastor or an odinary individual we all face different problems and trials at different times in our lives. The way a non believer will respond and or react to such situations should not be the way a believer should do, let alone a Man of God.
Christianity has its root from the christining of the early followers of Jesus Christ in antioch. (present day Syria) And the conduct, practices, and responses to different challenges that stood up against them that time made them to stand out. Tolling the same line, many of the men or women who claim to have the mandate of upholding the tennets and principles of jesus teachings and christianity have seriously and shamefully brought it to endagering disrepute.

If in the time of the early christians, a church collapses, will Jesus, John, Peter or Paul obstruct rescue officials from saving and evacuating people from the church? Will they use thugs in the name of security to harass journalist or onlookers? Will they start dashing people money? For what? Celebration of the dead? Let good christians answer.

When faced with a divorce case, will John, Peter, or Paul come out to tell the public that his wife is not a pastor? When clearly before, she has been going by the name Pastor Anita and was also writting Rapsody of Realities. Will they include the picture of their wife on any pamphlet or posters of an upcoming crusade or church gathering? Will their wife even be seen as also doing the same Job as the husband? The teachings of paul in the book of Corinthians concerning women climbing pulpit is a debate for another day. Let good christians answer.

Recently, a private jet belonging to a Nigerian Man of God was seized by the South African authorites which contained 9.3, million dollars, The said Man of God defended himself in a way that surprised many. Will Jesus, Peter, John or Paul show off such wealth when many are poor? Will they acquire Privtae jet? Even when they do so, will they use it for business as is clearly shown by Oritsejafor? Will they make statement that will incite the Jews against the pharisees all in the name of defending themselves? Will they be seen jumping with politicians (Ceasar) from one place to another? Will jesus call for arming of the people to end violence? Let good christians answer.

Those who are saddled with leading others to imbibe and maintain a righteous and pleasing life to the Almighty God should not abuse such priviledges. If truth must be told some of the present day pastors, prophets evangelists etc are not behaving like those of the early times.
