The major task before a Pastor or any man of God is the mental and physical ability to resist temptations.
Just as the devil tempted Jesus severally in the Bible, the devil is always at it's antics to put Men of God under trial. Most often, God sometimes allow the devil the chance to put the Man of God to test in other to determine one's loyalty to Him.

Pastors are specially ordained by God for the work of true evangelism for man's salvation but unfortunately, some of them fall out of God's favour and therefore become the devil's prey.

A true Pastor must be seen as God's Model for righteousness.

Jesus Christ did not allow the allure of 'worldliness' to consume his Spiritual Mission even when satan offered to give him the 'grandeurs' of the earth if he succumbed to worship him. The Pastor must be able to resist temptations as well.

Jesus lived a selflessness life. A Pastor should follow this example even at his own inconvenience.

In contemporary times, man has become selfish and lovers of money. Some so called Men of God now own private jets, luxury homes and use proceeds from tithes and offerings to fund their extravagant lifestyles. This is not the example laid down by Jesus. Jesus presented himself as a sacrificial lamb to mankind.

Pastors are God's examples of true repentance to mankind and for this reason must control their urge for material acquisition. They should shun unchastity and demonstrate fairness and moral rectitude in all they do. They must give back to the society what their duty to man demands.

How to con people, that is the only skill required.

Just imagine you are a man of god and you do not know how to con people to collect their hard earned money, then you would just die impoverished.

Lol.
That perhaps was on a lighter mood.
