BEWARE OF VOCATIONAL PASTORS

[Dr S.A David]

VOCATIONAL PASTORS:
Ezek34: 2, 3
Description: They are in the ministry, not result of God's call, but
by the call of men. They pastor as a hobby or past time. They love
the honour and respect being given to pastors.

Tribal sentiments, ethnic bias, connection to authority, wealth,
status And oratory power are what was used to make them pastors.
Educational qualifications and greasing of palms also figure here.

Basic motive: To rule over others and to seen and respected by them.
No vision, purpose and commission from the Lord. They therefore lord
over people, using threats and position to oppress those who are
genuinely called.

Demerits: They are not concerned with anyone or the church once their
position is secured. They lead church backward through secular
management systems. They don't train, develop or empower anyone. The
church is always malnourished and spiritually weak under such
pastors. Their ministrations are always devoid of God's power and
their sermons always make people sick. Vocational or honorary pastors
have caused much havoc for the church today.

Prospects: Seek the face of God as to His plan your life, resignation
and functioning where God wants you.
