Ma, God is not a respecter of person as such we are all first and formost children of God psalms 82:6
However his position as a pastor is a sacred office God gave him for the eddification of the body of christ; so the fact that u are grudged is an indication that he did not fulfil the scriptures Eph 4:11-12
And going to met him is scriptural Matt.18:17
Fod bles you for ur sincerity shalom.

Every one is scared of him, u know those kind of pastors that what they speaks comes to pass so nobody dare correct him or confronts him, he usually teaches us that confronting a man of God is a sin that comes with great punishment, but I don't believe it because I haven't seen it in the bible, the bible is my manual for life
as it should be but the Bible teaches us to respect authority, going through the elders would mean you r a person of wisdom, but pethaps you could discard this & escalate it via confrontation, cos we always don't have the full answer, whatever happens next would be the consequences of your actions or inaction, don't forget, you brought this reality upon yourself & your household which you admitted it greatly helped. Well pray to God to guide your steps though.

Happy Sunday to u all

I'm eager to know if its wrong to confront a pastor, because all my life I hate going pastors for anything, something happened on Monday, I didn't know who else to talk to ....so I went to the alter to pray and met with my pastor, I explained what happened between my husband and I and he settled the matter sweetly . I was so happy to have peace and joy back in my marriage till yesterday (Saturday) pastor called me out of that plenty congregation and told d church everything including what my husband has been hiding for years, he even added more things that didn't even happen to the story😂. I was just quiet and respectful since I wasn't expecting him to behave like that.

He prayed for me and I just left, he started getting angry that I can't even praise for my healing me or dancing round, I was just shocked at everything happening I left to the backyard and later went in again.

Immediately I got home I told my husband how he's image has been tarnished in church for what he didn't do, we had a misunderstanding and pastor said he flogged me (that didn't happen)

Is it wrong to confront him....
Coz I will act like I'm going to testify and correct that wrong impression he said about my husband

Just one time experience with pastor is killing me like this

Someone attacked your family like that and you are talking of approaching him politely?
Someone you would have confronted right there in church the moment he called you out. Dey there dey play!

Pls forgive me if I sound too harsh but I feel the pain of being so embarrassed and having your trust crushed.

PLS MADAM, Leave such church and go somewhere else.
PROPHECY is by the spirit, not by stories from private confidential counseling.

FIND A COUNSELOR FOR YOUR MARRIAGE THAT IS NOT A PASTOR BUT A PROFESSIONAL COUNSELOR... you will have peace
#1. Pastor lacks discretion. Seeking cheap popularity by revealing confidential and sensitive details from counselling session. Pastors act as counsellors, but he must be very ethical. Can only share stories with consent, and anonymity of the counselled.

#2. Secular counsellors or therapists are better off, if they can be afforded.

maddam, simply leave the church he is not a pastor. But before you go, request that he should return all the tithe and offering you have been paying him since you started coming to the church. If he refuse to give you back your money don't worry, just let it be and go, God will judge.

Everything you said was on point except returning tithes. That's plain dumb.

I quoted you directly so that you will get my message clear and make sure you act on it.

First, that man is not even a man of God, he just used that event to upgrade his trade of merchandising the word of God.

Remember that your husband's image us at stake her to the glory of one con man's business, do you need to redeem the innocent man's image by making the correction publicly to hearing of the congregation that there was a misunderstanding to that story.

If the pastor do not like your action or even pray f he likes it, ..still quit the B/center and look for a church and start attending rather than following such a being

Don't confront him. Wait for the next testimony time, pick up the mic and testify that God has opened your eyes to the lies your pastor told. When you are done, leave the church and don't look back. It's what I'd do.

Confront sounds like quarreling with him but i prefer the word " talk to" nevertheless, one of the characteristics of a pastor is in secret keeping. Even if he wants to reference an issue he shouldn't call your family out that sounds embarrassing. So go talk to him but i have my doubt that you can ever feel comfortable there again even other's will find it difficult talking to him about personal stuffs.
Take heart

There are always a good 3rd party to tell these things but we instead tell our religious leaders who would wanna take credit for solving problems.

I advise you confront the pastor and tell him not to publicize your matter in public when next you come to him for advice or to settle matters.

Your husband? How wonder how he'll feel when he walks by and members say
. Na dat yeye man dey beat him wife.
The courage u had to even tell him, hey husband, pastor has tarnished ur image in church for what u didnt do.
Pastor got the information he used from you and added spices to it.



Ur reply sounded funny, I first him down and told him not to be angry that something serious happened he got upset, I did damage control when testifying that my husband is the best man

Regardless of the spiritual blessings and possibilities resident in some pastors they are still humans. If there is any sense at all, just take the 'sense' out of the 'nonsense'.

You now know your pastor's weakness - poor human relationship. Be careful the next time you open up to him/her.

Is it wrong to confront him....

It's not wrong to confront him ... and how you want to do it is the right way. After all .... you are going to testify. Bear in mind ... the Bible warns you that there will be wolves in sheep's clothing ... not everyone that says he is of God is of God ... and it is for you to discern from their words and actions who is who. Now how can this man be of God when he a flat out liar? ... scandalous? ... a man of loose lips or unbridled tongue? .. a family divider? ... and said all this to the congregation with you being present? ....how can he be of God? Now that you've discerned the wolf in sheep's clothing you should no longer respect him as a pastor and have the courage and confidence to go up and set the record straight in front of the very congregation. You should not allow him to tarnish your husband's name publicly and confront him privately. He will not allow you to say much so you have to make your point clear and fast.
He is looking to be praised ....so I would suggest you start on that note to swell his head.

May God be praised and whatever problems we face let us take it to Him in prayer. There is no marriage without problems and all such problems can be sorted out through prayer. I had mine... and took it to Pastor... and I'm here to testify that he listened ... prayed about it and the problem was no more. It happened so fast ... I wasn't expecting it to go away so fast ... God really works in mysterious ways ... I also wasn't expecting what I said in private to be made public nor expected to hear lies added on to bring down my husband ... things that I never said were said and I would very much like Pastor to confess before you about the lies he added on ... like my husband bla bla bla .... and bla.bla.bla ... how can a man of God be doing such? ... for what purpose?. Pastor?

It doesn't matter what he says ... church people already knew he was wrong to tell them your story .... and added lies. When they shove you away and be marching you out of church let not thine mouth he silent ... keep testifying ... that now you know he is a busy body and anyone with ears should take note. Make that your last visit to that so called church. Expose him you must.

Very wrong, what the pastor did.
Pastors must learn how to control their mouths. Making someone the point of reference while preaching is wrong. Very wrong. Too much talk leads to lie, that's why pastor even added jara to the story.

What is your hubby saying about it?

He got upset, I begged him and did damage control today while testifying I corrected everything

What you have resolved to do is the best. Use the guise that u want to testify to explain what happened and politely correct the wrong things he said about your family before the congregation. . That Pastor cannot be trusted with family issues and secrets
The main point is that other families will learn from you not to involve him in all their family matter.
Thank u dear, I did that while testifying today, but I didn't say I told him some of the things he said because if I talk somehow they will remove the mic and correct u, its that bad, I have forgiven him, I pray my husband heals too

It is good to seek counsel but mind who you seek counsel from or open your heart to.

Most pastors, you will open up to them. And the next Sunday in church your matter will be the topic or sermon to be discussed. A few will do you the favor of not mentioning your name.

A pastor has betrayed me once, my partner betrays me each time we have the littlest misunderstanding. So now I have learnt to seek counsel from the word of God or the Holy spirit. That way no one will hurt or betray me in terms of sensitive things I confined in them with!

First you should never approach anyone including your pastor that you have not satisfied as matured to handle any matter be it marital or otherwise.
Your pastors are not superhumans you can confront them when the F.up.
I remembered my pastor in mfm that year, we do business he no wan pay my money, I wrote to olukoya direct.
