Of course. I read minds too. The thing that got me laughing was the frowning face on your post

Blackhawk01:

You can't blame him. Your moniker sounds masculine.

talkeverytime:
In today's world where there is lack of respect for spiritual authority and so much bad talks and accusation about men of God, people find it difficult to refer to a particular person as their pastor or man of God probably for the fear of being deceived or duped by the Pastor or being seen as a weak fellow for having "a Pastor".


It should be noted that for the case of this discussion, the word Pastor is used as a generic word for the five fold ministry (Apostles, Prophets, Teachers, Pastors and Evangelists).
Now, I've heard a lot of people say things like "I don't need a Pastor to tell me what God says", "I can read the Bible for myself", "God can talk to me anywhere and anytime, I don't need any MOG". Some have even gone as far as labeling all Pastors entrepreneurs and fraudsters. The question I will like to ask you is why did God give us these ministry gifts if we do not need them? In Ephesians 4 verse 11, the Bible says ;
"And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers" KJV
So did God just give us these gifts that we do not need? No, we need them obviously and that's why he gave them to us. He told us the reason for giving them in the following verses. Ephesians 4 verse 12 - 14
"[12] For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
[13] Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ
[14]That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; " KJV
I'm going to break down these reasons simpler for you to understand.

You need a "Pastor" to teach you.

I've explained that I'm using the word Pastor for the five fold ministry in this article, so I believe it shouldn't be a problem anymore.
Now you may say you can read the Bible and learn for yourself, I agree with you. In fact, you should read the Bible and know the word for yourself. But that doesn't replace the part of the Pastors, they are specially ordained by God for this purpose and there is an anointing upon their lives to carry it out.

You need someone to monitor your growth.

Yes, you do. Even though not all Pastors perform this properly but it's part of their job. They act like fathers to see to your well-being, your spiritual well-being particularly. Your spiritual well-being controls the physical, so once you perfect it there, you'll perfect it in other areas. So the Pastor watches you grow spiritually and detects when you're not making progress like you should do.

For correction .

This supports the point above. Your Pastor is there to correct you when you miss it. Once he detects that you're doing the wrong thing or not doing something right, he comes in.

You need a Pastor to inspire and motivate you.

You can say this is the work of a motivational speaker. Calm down. What I mean is you need someone to inspire you to do the things of God and to grow spiritually. That is what the Pastor should do with his teaching and his lifestyle.

You need a Spiritual Head to guide you.

There are just sometimes we need guidance. Yes, we have the HolySpirit to guide and direct us. But remember, one of the end reasons God gave us these five fold ministry is that "we should not be tossed to and fro" . It means these offices are required to keep us in a straight path. And you also need someone that represents you on the altar. You should not just pay your tithes to anyone and everyone. Take it to the Church (the church you attend; that is you must have a particular church) and give it in your church, that's where the blessing lies.

To protect you

Yes, your Pastor "keeps" you, through prayers, his word and prophecy over your life and his teachings. The fourteenth verse of Ephesians 11 suggests that Christians can be deceived by the cunning craftiness of men. This five fold ministry helps to prevent that and protect you.
So prayerfully seek for a church and join. Follow the leader attentively, it may be a Pastor, Prophet, Teacher, Apostle or Evangelist. They are all ordained for us.
This is where I'll stop for today. Please feel free to agree or disagree. Drop your comments

First, you are getting a lot of things wrong.

The term Man of God has now become an exclusive appellation for pastors. This is totally wrong. A man or woman of God is one who walks before God and is blameless. This person does not need to be a religious leader within a corporate religious body. All he needs to do is to love God sincerely and how can you love God sincerely? It is by loving the Poor (the least of your brethren). God is Love. You don't need titles to love God.

Also, everyone needs everyone in the Church. We are all priests united by the Eternal priesthood of Christ who is the Chief Priest. Christ is the only one who is indispensable. You don't need the protection of your pastors or someone to represent you on a Man-made altar. All those are traditions of men which ended with the Blood shed on the cross of Calvary.

To better understand the Church, read extensively on the Early Church.

testifying that there is no deity(gods) worthy of worship except Allah (the one true God) and prophet muhammad (SAW) is his(Allah's) servant and messanger

Interesting. I will go and read extensively on it. Thank you.

shittufarukumar:
how is Islam an idolatry when even the ashadatyn is on your palms.

Can you explain this ashadatyn for me, please.

MhizzAJ:
Lol Goodnight BluntBoy

Goodnight, my Queen.

ALAYORMII:
. That's the irony of the situation they find them selves in.

What's meant to be a blessing to them might end up being the opposite

Well-said.

prekky101:
My ex is still crushing on me but she is married to a guy who is a friend of one her ex as well she message me on Feb and call me every now and then what should I do bleep her or what??

OK.

MhizzAJ:

Wow, I got a smile out of my Queen. I am going to have sweet dreams tonight.

Dasherz:
I hope so ... seriously pray to that

Those devils can be heartless. Moreover, it is near the Christmas season and the crime rate is usually high at this period. May God protect us from those devils. One cannot be too careful.

Dasherz:
no

It's well. He will be alright.

Small matter, and they will turn it into fight.

Iranu abasha

Dasherz:
okay thanks

You are welcome, dear. Any news?

(In the handwriting of my MhizzAJ): OK.

ALAYORMII:
That means they sell it off and share the bounty

Then, he didn't empower them. When you give out a motorcycle for empowerment, your intention should be to see the beneficiary attain autonomy using the motorcycle. These people will either sell the motorcycle (with each of them getting just a paltry sum) or kill themselves over it thereby defeating the purpose for which the motorcycle was given out in the first place.

Dasherz:
well we talk alot and chat on fb too ..

just friends tho

Alright. So, all we need to do is pray and put our trust in God.

I will be off for a while. I need to clear a backlog so that I can be free enough for religion tommorow.

Hakuna matata , Dash.

Dasherz:
-ok thanks
i wish I did not have to prompt him to go to the bank

I just feel I'm to blame

Don't blame yourself. All we need now is to pray for him. Moreover, blaming yourself will not reverse what has happened.

I never knew you and thepussyH were that close.

Dasherz:
it's ok ... you can modify the mention .. want to modify my post there

I have removed it altogether. It served its purpose.

shittufarukumar:
u knw wat

Free yourself from the entrapment of religion and embrace freedom.

Dasherz, sorry for mentioning you on that high-profile thread.

.

Damn

Dasherz

Dasherz:
can you mention me on another thread need to tell you something ..maybe off this section

OK, Dash.

I declare him conscious in the name of Jesus the Christ.

abdelrahman:
They use islam to lie to their people because of their gain while their households are not practising what they are preaching,what make me angry today is about emir sanusi young wife that is slaying without hijab,come and see how people are saying islam is for the poor,im just enranged with that stuff wallahi.

Islam is a false religion. May God open your eyes to see the truth.

Our problem are our cult-like religions: Christianity and Islam. They have become tools used by the elite to enslave God's people (You and I and every other good people out there). Through the grace of God, I have broken free from their deceit and put my trust in the only God. You should raise yourself above the doctrines and enslavement of man and chase after a relationship with God--the very essense of spirituality.

Salaam Alaikum Muslim brothers and sisters. While cleaning the house today, my mum discovered torn copies of the Qur'an myself and my siblings used when we were little. She asked me the best way to dispose (Astagfirullah if dispose is an inappropriate word to use) and I said the best way is to bury them. I just want to be sure it is the right thing to do. Your advices are needed

Wa alaykumu as-salam. I am not a Muslim but I am your brother. The True God sent me to tell you to leave behind your idolatry and come unto Him. What is the Quran that you have turned it into your God? You are even scared to use the word dispose with regard to a torn book which is nothing without the supposed sacred texts in it.

Repent, for the kingdom of God is at hand. There is only but one way to eternal life and that is through Jesus the Christ.
