frosbel: - No one is fighting for GOD, but we are told to contend for the faith.

"Dear friends, although I was very eager to write to you about the salvation we share, I felt compelled to write and urge you to [size=13pt]contend for the faith[/size] that was once for all entrusted to God's holy people" - Jude 1:3


- We are to expose unrepentant sinners in the church , after all this is a religious forum, no ?

"trying to learn what is pleasing to the Lord. 11Do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but instead even [size=13pt]expose them[/size]; 12for [size=13pt]it is disgraceful even to speak of the things which are done by them in secret[/size]." - Ephesians 5:10-12

How do you know he is unrepentant? Can you see into his heart? Has God told you he is unrepentant? Or you are waiting for him to confess to you before you know he is repentant? Fact is you dont know, I dont know too, so let God who sees all that is done in the secret and the intents of all hearts be the judge.

homesteady: So we should let demons lead us astray because we are waiting for GOD to separate the shaft from the wheat??
Even the BIBLE says in the last days, false prophet would arise!! And GOD has given us the wisdom to know who is false and who is a true prophet

How do you know he is a demon? Do you know him personally? Has God told you he is a demon?

frosbel: - First of all , not all who go by the name of Pastor are Pastors.

- It is a known fact that a large proportion of so called pastors in Nigeria are businessmen and were never called by GOD

- The Pastor owes the entire church an apology in addition to the one he owes GOD , because he has betrayed their trust in him. If this story had not been revealed , things would have been BAU ( Business as usual ) and this trend of abuse would have continued.

- It is important to expose unrepentant hardcore charlatans to protect the sheep of GOD from their tricks, gimmicks and deceptive methods.

- No one is 100% in support of Ese, the issue is she has been victimised , bullied and insulted for daring to stand up to the powers that be.

- I will tell you something, when you hide a secret such as this without repentance or confession, it will come out into the open and the disgrace will be double.

And how do you know the genuine from the fake? Leave God to separate the wheat from the shaft, dont fight for God. Just follow God's principles and let God fight the fakes.

Is that not the same message Christians give Muslims to stop fighting for Allah and let the All-powerful and All-knowing God fight his enemies?

I am not that religious but I know well enough that there is a way to go about matters like this that is not the way of the world.

If Ese is a true Christian, she will know well enough that the place to confess is not on an internet blog. There is absolutely nothing to gain confessing on a public domain than to breed gossips and slanders both on Efe, the pastor and the church. Even if all she said are true, the public will not help her, the pastor or the church to get better. Or can somebody tell me one advantage of her public confession besides pulling down the pastor and seeking more people to help her course.

I dont expect the pastor to play the same tune with her in the public gallery. He owes the public no explanation. He only owes God, his wife and the leadership of his church explanations. These are the only people that have the right to scold him and help him and Ese to get better.

David said in his prayers (Ps 51) to God after committing adultery and murder, "Unto you and unto you alone have I sinned and done this evil in thy sight", he didn't pray to the public or confessed to the public, only prophet Nathan and God.

Also the punishment of God's servants are not in the hand of the public but in the hand of God which can also be administered by Church leadership. God said, unto me they stand or fall.

Finally, I know the Church is not a gathering of saints waiting for rapture, but a spiritual clinic for all that want to get better; and from the least member to the most anointed pastor are all work in progress. I only pity those who see pastors as saints and semi-God.

I expected Ese and the Christians here to know all these, but the arguments I see here say otherwise.

Happy birthday Bro!

Many many happy returns!

Dont forget to have lots of fun!
