There should be a limit to what a preacher says about his past life especially while preaching.
When a preacher says
"back in the days, I slept around with my mother's mates"
"I used to be a serial fornicator and rapist"
"I was a murderer and a burglar " etc

Really? And you're proud of such acts? I think that clearly is the height of ecclesiastical insensitivity.

Such unguarded statements has the tendency of poking unhealed wounds in the hearts of some of your listeners , opening you up to temptations and easily making you a victim of extended hatred.

You're called to be a healer, not a killer.

Lolz!
I concur. I feel sometimes it's said out of nostalgia. A bit of pride too.

Go and tell pastor Adeboye, shebi he said he used to be a playboy...with many galfriends
But then i think there is a need to make the sinners know that you once used to be like them, and you were saved (if you were really saved )

You really believe adeboye was a player?

DennisEche:
Seyi360 big ups to you for bring on this topic. Any time I hear a preacher boasting about his women excesses in the past , it sounds so awkward and not necessary.

Those who boast are probably not being led by the Spirit of God there. But when followers of Jesus Christ( born agains) allow the Spirit of God to lead them, He in fact uses there story to reach those in the audience who need to be reached.

Guidance and counseling for what?

Dangrace01:
What I know is whenever pastors preach about past life what comes to my mind is so you have finished enjoying your life and have memorable experience and you don't want me to do my own and have my experience then repent.

Allow me to enjoy myself have experience then I can now repent.

Lol... just as Jesus Christ's own teaching during His time on earth did not reach many, we should expect preachers not to be able to reach everyone with the message that the Spirit of God living inside those of them who are born again has to share.

Remember, preaching of Jesus Christ's message is not in order to reach everyone but to reach those who are ready to be reached. That is why the Spirit may choose to use the past history of the one preaching in the way He chooses.

SavageMaster:

If, however, the preacher just wants to prove he's been a bad boy too, then it's not good; it adds no spiritual value to the listeners

A born again preacher would not do such anyways.

Ellegacy:

Exactly my own thoughts too.. I use to think, if you can do this things I can too and eventually repent. Have an experience like that too and have a great tale to tell in the future.

Telling you their story is not saying you cannot choose to continue in sin. They are simply telling their story. You still have a decision of your own to make. Their revelation can never take that away from you.

lefulefu:
thats what some of the readers who reacted to the interview where saying..though some few were defending the pastor and saying the ususall jargon of touch not my anointed

I have heard stories of God causing people to turn themselves in for crimes committed in the past after they turned their lives to Jesus Christ.
A preacher who however goes on to boast of his crimes, I doubt is of God.

MrNipplesLover:
the Koko be say, keep your past evil deeds between you and God and preach to people without scaring them. you were a murderer and you want to use that to preach?
oga, that would make people fear you more, thinking that you are still the same evil man who's just using pastorism to cover up while still go back and commit the evil when it is dark.
preach your preach and don't scare people with you evil deeds (past) thinking you are doing the Lord's work.
stay blessed, bro.

If you have evil deeds from your past you are unwilling to accept as part of the story that is you, you should not even bother becoming a follower of Jesus Christ until you are willing to SUBMIT that past in its entirety to God for Him to use as He pleases. Do you think you have control over what you can say or not say when God is driving? Think again!
Remember, He said you have to die to your ego (die to self, surrendering all control over your life in the process) if you want to be His follower. Expect Him to use your story for His glory. He did it to His own apostles, He will do it to you too.

since you no wan hear word, that all you have been doing na twisting of points, no wahala.

go ahead and tell people how you used to kill people in the past before you became a pastor.


the Lord be with you.





stay blessed, bro.

What if it was armed robbery, would you still have this position?

Kobojunkie:

You really believe adeboye was a player?

Hahaha....you feel he was telling lies?..
Dont allow his congregation drag you, the way oyakhilomes people wan use curse kill me yesterday

What is life without experiences bro. You are the sum total of your experiences. Enjoy life with us, it's a beautiful trip

Cheers to that bro

What points have been twisted? Why not specify so i can maybe clarify?
If you used to kill people and you have not served time for that crime, you ought to be in jail for it.

That apart, preachers preach from that which the Spirit requires of them.

Is a degree better at teaching Communication skills than tge Spirit of the Living God?

I said "Most Pastors...", not all. Think of what happen to Paul and why God choose him to preach/teach the Gentiles directly. Why didn't God use Christ eleven disciples for the work? Not that the were not good enough but he had reasons. Think of Moses, why didn't God use someone else to deliver the children of Israel at that time? Well, am sure you should know how wise Moses was and that he was at that time the most educated amongst all Israelites. Most pastors need to pass through a highly diversified training in order to communicate safely with her members. The Holy Spirit helps in application. Remember, a humble, obedient and sincere man will not restrict a success workforce to development.

See, but Paul was not the only one sent to the gentiles.

Remember Peter, He was the first one sent tp gentiles. Eventually, others followed, like Phillips, and so on.

Yes , paul had his background as a Pharisee/Sadducee, but that didn't necessarily make him any better than the others.

With, Moses, i doubt it was his oratory that won God over.

You forget the major example here. Jesus Christ, remember, was an uneducated son of a carpenter. Yet, by the Spirit of God, He was not only able to gather people to Himself, but also to cause the religious establishment of His day to decide His death was the best course for them.

Kobojunkie:


Na wa... it's just that some of the stories no dey add up sometimes

Kobojunkie, I tot you were American Until I heard you use words like "gbam!" Now it's "na wa" so you're a typical Nigerian man. Good to know though.

More problems can be solved if humans humble themselves for all necessary training. Do you really think the past scholars, teachers, preacher or prophets will condemn the locked-down order? I doubt that because if we as Christians want the Bible prophesy to come to pass then, we'll appreciate fastening our commitment to God and let his word come to pass. A trained scholar will advice that and not to mislead.

cooltola:


You are missing the point and i get your point of view. It is okay for a preacher to say i used to steal, kill or whatever sin they used to do. But it is very wrong for them to go into details , it is like they are bragging about their past life and most do not sound remorseful. Imagine an ex governor going into details how he loot people's salaries for his personal gain and how lavished the money even though he has repented and he is born again , someone may want to kill him because it is offensive The same apply to the church, it is offensive to some members.

I Get Ur Point Sir!
