True

We are all men and momen of God,but dont know if you want to be called man of devil. What would you do in a situation where the so called man of God fk your wife?

I hope you are referring to pope? and not those Pentecostal GOs thiefs we have in Nigeria who collect money from ritualist, poor,widow,
corrupt politicians in name of tithes and first fruits. I hope you are not talking about those Pentecostal GOS and pastors who feed on more than 5000 people instead of feeding the 5000 like jesus did?

OboOlora:
Op, I will try and understand what you r trying to say but lemme drop a few lines:

this is referring to real men of God that were called not god of men that called themselves right? I hate to cram so I might not know the exact bible verse but I’m sure the same Bible also said there would be a lot of fake pastors as the world comes to a near end.

Always be objective in your opinion, it’s like telling me I should respect and not speak ill of Revd King, a confirmed murderer.

Nor vex me this Sunday morning oh

. May God bless you abundantly. Moses, Elijah, Joshua,Isaiah, Elisha and Apostles in the new testament do they behave like the way these end time pastors behave? Those men of God in the bible will first think of their followers the opposite is now. How many of Apostles in the bible behave the way these nowadays pastors behave? A real mam of God will not acquired earthly wealth. Lerah Sharibu is in the captive of Book haram up till today, if this happened in the era of Moses or Elijah I trust the God of Abraham he will send confusion amongst them. Is good to respect men of God but it is better for them too to do what men of God did in the bible.

LOL. OP you have received enough bashing for this post so i will not add mine.

But i will only say one thing: Truth is that more than 90% or the "men of God" especially in Nigeria are not know by God. Also you must know the difference between correcting the evil deeds and teachings of these "men of God" and mocking these men of God. I think you confuse the former for the latter.

ajoguegbe:
I'm not here to defend anyone but if I am you I would rather keep quiet when such things happen. Supposing it is actually true you get a curse by criticising men of God. Don't c wait to experience it before you know. It may even be your problem now but you don't know. Miriam for leprosy by criticising MOSES the servant of God

What sort of hocus pocus nonsense. God gave us a tongue and the truth for us all to know his principles which is clearly stated in the Bible. Leadership is important but followership is also crucial in checking the excesses of leaders be they in the church or in any other facet of the community.

Jesus chastised the Pharisees who were the defacto religious scholars so why can't a vagrant pastor or bishop be confronted if he/she is out of line. The anointing of God was not exclusively for pastoral flock but for his people who serve him in whatever capacity and if a pastor abuses his authority while dealing with a church member/worker he can be assured he is cursed also by the principles nof that text.

What of so called prophets that have been using people for rituals, sleeping with people's wives, using Bible to scare people and fearfully collecting money from the congregation? What of Chris Oyakhilome that encouraged people to be masturbating and whose wife just divorced because she claimed he has been sleeping with all pretty ladies in the church? What of Chris Okotie who has divorced two different women and who told us God told him that Obasanjo will hand over the presidency to him (Okotie)? What of Adeboye that said anyone who does not pay tithe will not go to heaven? Has God made him (Adeboye) the class captain to write list of people going to heaven?

I am not saying that they are not men of God, I am just asking some questions that have been confusing me. So please pardon my childishness.

Exactly, bn objective is very important.
The judgement is between them and God. Don't be the one that will judge and start dragging their name around. By doing this u are tarnishing the reputations of Christianity. U have every right to say that what this man of God did is wrong but don't go about trying to crucify them.

Luke 9:49
49“Master, said John, “we saw someone driving out demons in Your name, and we tried to stop him, because he does not accompany us.” 50“Do not stop him,” Jesus replied, “for whoever is not against you is for you.”

Jesus knew that many will start using His name even for personal gain, but he told his disciples (You and I) to let them be. Bible also warned us not to believe every prophet that uses the name of Jesus Christ. Bible says we should not throw away our wisdom wen thes men of God come to us, we should accept the truth and reject the false teaching. The Bible never said we should fight the preacher.

Do u knw that many ppl have really repented even in the churches of the fake pastors. Most of their teachings are true but only that they use fake power. They are thos group of people the Bible tells us that at that day, God will say to them, "Go away from me, ye that do my work but disobey my rules." The judgement is of the Lord.

In 2Samuel 6:16
Then it happened as the ark of the LORD came into the city of David that Michal the daughter of Saul looked out of the window and saw King David leaping and dancing before the LORD; and she despised him in her heart.

God cursed Michal (David's wife) for criticizing how David was dancing in the public and she remained barren all the days of her life.
Be careful when u speak against the men of God. There is a way they reconcile with their God which u may not even know.

...we are cursed really... Why do we think these way...I have a lot to say but I think we re done, we re doomed....So if all call themself men of God it is good to say we should keep quiet if when it's obvious of wrongs being done......our reasoning i swear we keep us backward forever....

Although I'm not 100% on his side, we should remember king Saul in the Bible, he sinned against God and even when David had the chance to take his life, he(David) didn't do it cus Saul was anointed by God.
Even David himself who was said to be a friend of God, a man after God's heart. He did some despicable things also, like sleeping with the wife of his soldier, but God still forgave him.
So if David as proclaimed as he is could commit such, tell me then y our own generation of men of God wouldn't succumb, especially in the face of our economy.

But your so-called 'god of men' can speak ill of leaders in other spheres right?

Abeg, leave that matter. Only God knows his people.

...a pastor rapes, they blame the woman....a pastor extort money or do fetish tinz, we say thou shall not touch the anointed, pastors do a lot of tinz but we remember not to judge in his case but quickly condemn a lay man...so maybe it is even wrong for a court to judge a pastor( u might say so too)... When they say Africa is cursed, u believe it when you see people reason this way... the white man that brought Christianity never taught it this way or practise it this way but na we who be second-hand Christian dey carry am for head with fetish beliefs mixed with Christianity....How can a sane man say such...moreover who is a man of God...you might say is better not to condemn any man of God because you don't know who is true of false... You even went a long way to defend fake men of God....we are finished, we can't be salvaged....with people with this reasoning then we are done

julius976:
Most christians respect their pastors pass jesus u...

Its bullshit, even jesus was insulted,so who cum be you wey dem no go speak ill of

Same reason why Christian don't consider what Jesus say but depend on what their pastor say on a particular issue.

A pastor is part of branch in a tree (Jesus) Joh.15: 4-10. A Christian should draw his wisdom/knowledge from Christ not from pastor. Pastor should guide the christians on how to really on Christ and not on them (pastors). therefore, it's a responsibility of Christian to search the scriptures and know if a pastor is being selfish on a subject or truly teaching the pure mind/word of Christ.

speaking against them when they turn god or when they became selfish is ok. On hearing it, they should turn from their wicked ways but if they refused I urge christians to keep speaking against them.

the issue of tithing has expose a lot so far. GOD bless
Daddy freeze. Some has come up to speak the truth about tithe (like pastor Sam Adeyemi). But before daddy Freezze , pastor Gbile Akanni has being writing on church funding/financing for decades even Tunde Bakare. Why has these men of god refuse to hear him (Gbile Akanni and Tunde Bakare) now Daddy freeze is now embarrassing them.
To make the matter worst someone is saying u can't make heaven if you are not tithe payer. What a hirasy! !!
And u want me to keep quite and listen to them?

They always try to use this statements as defence......... Tell that to an atheists, Muslim or idol worshipper.....

FTC! Happy Sunday folks

How is correcting your Pastor if they go wrong "touching them" or "harming them"? you obviously lack understanding, stop misquoting the bible in defence of your Pastor... If he goes wrong correct him. He his not your God neither is he perfect.

It is no news our Pastors quickly go back to quote the Old testament in defence if corrected or if they want to justify why you must pay tithe. When you try to point out their error they quickly tell you "touch not my anointed " as if God said they are a perfect being that can never fall into temptation. Pastor too are humans.

Really, and you think you are making sense.

this is referring to real men of God that were called not god of men that called themselves right?

But how will you differentiate the real from fake men God. Just give them the respect as long they are being called after God and let the God be the judge.

Read the whole verse in proper context...

Saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan As the allotment of your inheritance,” When they were few in number, Indeed very few, and strangers in it. When they went from one nation to another, From one kingdom to another people, He permitted no one to do them wrong; Yes, He rebuked kings for their sakes, Saying, “Do not touch My anointed ones, And do My prophets no harm.”
Psalms 105:11‭-‬15 NKJV

Pastors have manipulated this scripture enough, obviously the anointed were the nation of Israel and the prophets were not to be harmed as is any human being anyway.

Bro I am sorry to burst ur Bubble on luke 9:49. Those guys weren't using the name of Christ selfishly or personal gain.
Yes there are those who get true repentance from fake men of god but how many of them? And how many do they lead astray?
Don't you think it so many are going astray because of what they hear?
The main essence of Christianity is to make heaven anything short of this is something else.
How will u say they know how they reconcile with God after deceiving the flocks?
Put it this way, God called them to preach so that people might repent and make heaven, now they preach otherwise where many make hell and u say God will understand with them for leading His People astray?

I guess that’s why God said that his judgment is going to start from inside his sanctuary, not all ‘men of God’ are worthy to be called men of God, but it’s left for God to know who his real servants are, as people of God we should listen more to his words than to the lifestyle of those speaking the words.
