Make your Bible your friend, you shouldn't come here to ask questions like this. It's really Absurd and it won't surprise me if you both are holding positions in your church without the knowledge of the scripture. This are the last days, you need to be well rooted in the word in other not to be swayed. #Approach your pastor to enlighten you. ![]() |

nkwuocha:Lol! You funny sir. So not being rich is an evidence of genuine prophets. CAC and white garments people are poor because of their backgrounds. Their founders are Nigerians and never learned from the West and as it was poverty has striken the mentality of average African men. They are the first indigenous Churches and were not thought "the Word of faith and prosperity" until the coming of Pentecostals. The very reason many left for Pentecostals. It's about ideology of denomination, not having anything to do with genuine or fake. |

A pastor is commissioned to preach the word of God and act as the shepherd to the congregation. while a prophet is ordained and set aside by God to speak his mind and nothing more. A prophet lives a secluded life while the pastor welcomes, prays and counsels everyone who seek his counsel. |

Johncuppa:Read well.I never generalize. I'm not talking about pastors here because many are smooth talkers.I know wealthy genuine prophet/prophetess of God,and yes they don't flaunt it. They do not really emphasize on prosperity, but salvation and deliverance. Many of them can't even preach well,some employ pastors to help them.Money is not everything. Some people have problems money can't solve. "Word of faith w prosperity"is for pastorpreneurs.The word of God said seek ye first the kingdom of God.That's why many Pentecostal churches are business centres.Any messenger of God that don't care about how you live a godly life is a joke. God is not a foolish person that's why he gives his grace to serious people.It doesn't matter your domination or age.I know of an 11 year old prophet. Although still under the supervision of his parents, the boy go tell you what you are doing in secret that is offending God hoooha!!!Things many of your pastors consciously overlook or don't have the grace to decipher.Many prophet has lost that grace because they became greedy and crooky.Genuine prophets of God just need patience and more grace so that God will announce them in his own way. |

G4166 ποιμήν poimēn poy-mane' Of uncertain affinity; a shepherd (literally or figuratively): - shepherd, pastor. G4396 προφήτης prophētēs prof-ay'-tace From a compound of G4253 and G5346; a foreteller (“prophet”); by analogy an inspired speaker; by extension a poet: - prophet. Total KJV occurrences: 149 |

nkwuocha:OK sir. But do you know Idahosa and Oyedepo are Prophets just like Ayo Babalola. The difference is in their ideology. Babalola was self thought while Idahosa moved with the west- Hagin, Copland and the rest where he learned that poverty is not a measure of HOLINESS but an inheritance of redemption, from where Oyedepo, Adeboye, Oyakhilome, Oritsajafor got the prosperity message. One thing is to have the grace and call of God, another thing is to have knowledge and accurate understanding of the Word. Anointing requires Knowledge to deliver well. Idahosa was as useful as Babalola yet was prosper in all ramifications. That some are not rich does not mean they have more grace than the rest. Many of them don't preach prosperity because they don't understand it. You don't teach what you don't understand. Anointing doesn't take the place of knowledge. |

victorazyvictor:Good! just because they claim to be or call themselves pastors and prophets doesn't mean that people should not query their Activities, we are meant to use our God's given brains, not let crooked prophets and pastors use it for us, by the way who made them prophets or pastors? And i think it's About time these crooks start paying taxes, it's has been obvious that they are Appear to be making too much money. by their outrageous lifestyles. |

Johncuppa:Apart from babalola, I don't see others you mentioned as prophets of God.They are just preachers and of course, one way or another, I know many have been converted through them.Genuine Prophets don't need pastoral schools. The grace of God is already sufficient for them and not wordly riches/wisdom.Many atimes they pick out those who have refused to answer Gods call to the ministry.When some of this pastors speak, I begin to see them as lecturers, many a times I get motivated to believe I can be the next bill gate whereas that's not my main purpose of going to church.Don't get me wrong I'm not saying true prophets of God must accept poverty as a cross.No!All I'm saying is this;Their life is not characterized by earthly gains as against their call which is to act as mediator between God and his people. I respect pastor Enenche and rank him above others you mentioned (apart from babalola).I also respect T.B Joshua basically because of his message of love and humanity.There are many pastors/prophet who are good but they are few and believe me a good percentage are unknown/unpopular. This remind me of a woman who was told by her doctor she will deliver through CS.She went to a true prophet of God who told her to go through CS as the doctor suggested. She warned the woman to do as the doctor said and all will be well.She visited her pastor and he adviced her not to listen to the prophetess. Long story short,she died as she bled to death. Funny thing is,her pastor was there in the hospital to witness her death. |

gypsey:Bible has already tell that "By their footstep you shall know them" so it left for u. My problem with you is that your generalizing and it can open a door of temptation to you, I know what am saying and I don't know how to break it down to you, reason why we say "don't lead us into temptation" but here ur leading yourself into temptation. I don't know if ur really a christian (i doubt) by the way u condemn men of God, be careful sha, ur playing with fire. |

akeentech:when you are not a christian, you use opportunities like this to show your disdain for them. Meanwhile if it has to do with imam they will ask you here to first show you are a muslim before you can comment. Take it easy o. What ever they are, the God they claim to serve will decide their case at the end of time not you. |

nkwuocha:Sincerely speaking, I like your analysis and description about a prophet. It is perfectly correct. This is the best comment on this thread. I must say, I gain more knowledge from this write up, as short as it is. Probably, your good self is a prophet or you have deep knowledge of the scripture. |

A Pastor is a Parish Caretaker, kind of Administrative Manager. A Prophet is a Messenger for specific Message or Messages from The Supreme Spirit. An Apostle is a Friend and a Representative of Christ. -from Orisa37 |
