Is It Right To Pastor A Church And Remain Single? by Richplaces(op):
I know I am going to pastor churches but I have very little interest in marriage due to the kind of family I came from. Is it right to pastor a church and remain single?

Firstly you need to work on your mindset. The reason you do not wish to get married is totally wrong and that mindset cannot be gotten from the Holy Ghost. The ministration of marriage was not ministered to you well. Work on your mindset and let Ministry only govern your decision. The bible says in Romans 12:2 "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God" meaning whatever mindset that the Word of God did not produce needs to changed.
1 Corinthians 2:16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. Our minds should be that of Christ.
The bible says in Genesis 2:18 "And the LORD God said, [It is] not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him."
Our Mother pastor omoLara omolehin said good is ministry, therefore it means it is not ministry for man to be alone. The main reason for marriage should be for ministry, once that is established the issue of remaining single or not would be answered. Father Temple said let ministry produce a wife or husband for you, with that you can never be wrong.

Do Ministry!!!

It is a good thing to be married while pastoring
a church but NOT a must. Apostle Paul never got married. But the OP needs to change his mindset about marriage..

When a man has no vision he would not invite any being into vision less it is dangerous
Especially women

They are multiplers if you are foolishness
A woman will make loud and clear
If not ask Abigail

You can pastor members without getting married if you choose to. Marriage is not a must anyway after all apostle Paul never got married. Same apostle admonished you to get married if you are lust in your thoughts. If some Rev father had remained virgin till they die then there is no big deal. God never made marriage compulsory as some preachers have been stressing from their pulpit.

Paul said the main reason you should marry is to avoid fornication. Paul preferred celibacy to marriage in ministry.

What is the consequences of those Rev father is it on to the salvation of all of men

Is not that because it is compulsory but to have all round testimony in leading the sheeps God placed on your hands

If you have ever lead people who know that the experience is needed

A man without vision should brings another man into his confusion

Ministry is vision and focus

It is better to not even marry but if you dont have the gift of celibacy just marry to avoid fornication.
