This is the second part of this special message for all
Ministers of God which the Lord helped us to release last week. I thank
God for those who are reading these expository and urgent messages and
making encouraging comments! God bless you. Amen. This second part is
going to be very explosive and insightful for those Ministers of God who
are heavenly minded! We are talking about heaven. This world is not our home! Many things are happening in many churches and Ministries today which need to be exposed! And these evils are Master minded by Christian Leaders because nobody can challenge or query them due to their positions in the Ministry. Once again, every Minister of God should examine himself or herself in the following areas, viz:
1. YOUR LIFESTYLE AS A MINISTER OF GOD! As a Minister of God how do you live? The Bible says let our moderation be known to all men. Are you living the life of affluence and wealth display that your members cannot come near you? This is not the lifestyle of Jesus our Master. Our Master Jesus lived a very simple life, very humble and accessible to His people. What kind of Church or Ministry are you operating? Do you allow the poor to come to that Assembly to worship God? I know of some churches today that poor people are not allowed to enter because they don't want them to infect the Church with poverty! Is that the lifestyle of Jesus? Jesus Christ came for the poor and not for the Rich! Now how come that the lifestyle of your ministry is prosperity and wealth display where there is no place for the poor or low income earners? And you call yourself a Servant of the Most High God? Please examine your lifestyle before it is too late to change.
2. THE HANDLING OF CHURCH MONEY! This is a very crucial area that every Servant of God must be examining himself or herself. The Church money is seen in heaven as the people's sweat and a holy thing! How you handle Church money with the fear of God will determine whether you will make heaven or not. Some Church Leaders are spending Church money at random without any accountability. Note, every Kobo you spent without proper accounting to the appropriate Authority, Will surely be accounted for at the gate of heaven. Today nobody may be able to query you or ask you why are you doing this because you are the Bishop but you will give account to the most Senior Bishop in heaven! Please examine yourself in the area of handling Church money before it is too late. Be a faithful steward in monetary matters. Note, there should be checks and balances in the Church in spending God's money. The Pastor or the Bishop should not be too proud to give account to the Church council how the money is being spent.
3. DIRTY POLITICS IN THE CHURCH! Every Minister of God should also examine himself in this area very well. Today many Church Leaders are applying politics in handling Church or Ministry matters. Because this bro is not from the same tribe with you, his matter is put in the cooler. You are partial. This is a dirty game or politics. Some pastors are like Politicians. They are not straight forward. They play partiality in the Church. The book of James condemns it! James 2:1-4. Be careful.
4. THE ISSUE OF TITHING. This is another very important area for self examination. Today many Ministers of God don't give tithes, describing themselves as Levis who don't need to give tithes to God. The day I read the testimony of a Servant of God who nearly missed heaven before God became merciful unto him and asked him to go back and amend his way, i was greatly bamboozled! This man of God was teaching his congregation that as pastors they should not give tithes to God that they are Levis! Even Levi also gave tithes in Abraham. Check it In Heb 7:9,10. So when he came to the gate of heaven he saw that he had nothing over there and he was to be cast into hell fire for this. Of course, many souls are languishing in hell today because of tithe evasion. All tithe Evaders are armed Robbers in the sight of God in the Church! Mal 3:8-10. Some pay their tithes but they don't give it correctly. Be careful. Examine yourself.
5. ON THE ISSUE OF MARRIAGE AND FAMILY - This is a vital area that you should examine yourself as a Minister of the gospel. Many Church Leaders today have concluded that marriage is an earthly matter and so they have married and divorced several times and even keep concubines outside their matrimonial homes. But God is watching. He says He is a witness between you and your first Wife, No matter how you misinterpret the scriptures and maltreat your first Wife, God is watching and waiting for you to come and meet Him! Mal 2:14. He also says marriage is honourable but the marriage bed should not be defiled. Heb 13:4. Today many Ministers are preaching and bouncing on the Altar without care. Some of these men of God, their wives and children are the ones encouraging deep worldliness in the Church and they don't care to warn or correct them. Remember what happened to Eli in the Bible. The Apostle Paul warned that if you are not able to rule your family, you have No moral standing to rule in the Church of God! 1Tim 3:4,5. Well, i draw the curtain here. May God give you better understanding of these things than what you are reading here. Second, blessed and happy are those who do not quarrel and argue unnecessarily with this exposition but accept it as a special message and Warning from the Lord to His loving children. You are free to share this urgent message to save a Minister of God from perishing. Thank you and God bless you richly in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen.
