Pastors are teachers while prophets are messengers. Prophets are God's mouth piece, they speak to ur moment, they can kill and make alive.


Kumuyi is a teacher, Oyedepo is a prophet. Fear prophets, whn they speak they speak like oracles and they are dangerous

A pastor is a leader/shepherd who specializes in preaching and teaching the word. Jeremiah 3.15

A prophet is a seer whose calling us to receive spiritual messages from God and deliver to specific person/s Deuteronomy 18.18

On point. But to add. You can be a seLler and not a prophet. But you can be a prophet with the anointing to be a seer too

Its a calling,they differ in their way of operation. A pastor is like a spiritual shepherd that leads the church with his qualities.a prophet is a person with a spiritual gift of prophecy, they have ability to make words manifest according to their election of grace.a prophet does really care how you feel after his prophecy but a pastor who has a spiritual gift of prophecy will try to modify his prophecy in order to keep his sheep.pastors could also be a prophet depending on grace

The pastor preaches the Gospel, nothing more.

The Prophet is a spiritualist, though uses bible to cover up, to get more clients. Babalawo is another name for these prophet.

Not, I'm not referring to the historic prophets of God. By prophet, I mean the likes of TB Joshua.
You spew a lot of bullshit

That scripture does not explain anything.
Any random pastor or prophet would also claim there are bestowed with all of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. 1 Corinthians 12:31

There was an argument between a friend and i yesterday about the difference between a pastor and a prophet, he said a pastor is a teacher while a prophet is a seer on which i disagreed saying the duo share the same visions
I decided to bring this topic before nairalanders to say your own view on this
A prophet is raised to guide people, nations a pastor is a shepherd over a house. A pastors job involves guiding a people through the agency of the word of God. A prophet does so but it is done utilising revelation...

You still never understand the passage.

In the bible there is no word as pastor. Pastors is known as teachers of the word of God and they fell in the category that has the spirit of wisdom, faith, knowledge only but you can acquire more as desired by Fasting and Prayers.

But a Prophect is a seer.
The one who speaks God's mind at a particular time and place.

A pastor can also acquire the spirit based on his capacity because they come with different sacrifices.

Iseoluwani:
Wrong

A pastor is a Shepard, to oversee the flock of God. A prophet must have 3 things to be regarded as a prophet

1. Discerning spirit
2. Words of wisdom
3. Words of prophecy


A pastor is foremost a teacher, and a preacher.


There is a difference between a seer and a prophet
So, in your opinion, A pastor lacks the above attributes?
Re: What Is The Difference Between A Pastor And A Prophet? by aremuforlife(m): 12:12pm On Dec 24, 2017
A Pastor is a theologian, a teacher, a mentor. A Pastor is different from a prophet because Pastors under some theology courses to be able to teach the congregation about the words of God with the assistance of the holy spirit. Majority of pastors are humanly made but not called by God because they are teachers.
PROPHET is one who has direct contact from the almighty God, someone who hears and sees the future. Prophets are called and not made. The anointing is always their with a real prophet of God. Just forget about today's preacher and prophet. As a prophet of God it's not necessary you go to theology school, the anointing is already to minister and prophesies. As true prophet of God you don't need to study for a lesson before going tobtge pulpit to preach, God HIMSELF will do the ministration and tell where to minister from the bible and HE will also tell the what to say.
But today what will have today is self proclaim Pastor and prophet. That is why will are have lots of bible misquote pastors today

All questions we need is in the Bible but I share tears we youths don't study the bible.

Bible is past, now, and future. Is like teacher giving u question and also telling you the answers are hiding behind the question paper yet many are willing to fail it.

He has given us his spirit in a measure. So a pastor can operate in that office for a time not that is the attributes of a prophet.
