A Pastor is a shepherd that takes care of the flock of Jesus Christ. He is expected to treat them exactly the way the Owner says He should treat them. This treatment is according to the written Word. Pastors are commanded to “Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.” (2 Timothy 4:2). Unfortunately, many pastors don’t use the Word of God to rebuke their members when they are going astray. If a man of God, who is a spiritual father, refuses to discipline his spiritual children it means he is treating them like bastards because it is only a bastard that will not be disciplined, as we are told in Hebrews 12:5-8.
Everyone of us that is a Christian is a preacher, whether we open our mouth to speak or not. We preach in different ways, especially through our actions. What kind of message do you preach with your character?
Bro. Oghenetega Samuel Emmanuel started having divine encounters of the visitation of Jesus Christ since he was 14th years old. The Lord took him to Heaven and Hell Fire several times and gave him messages to the Church and humanity. This is the 4th encounter of Jesus Christ’s visitation.
We are not living in a trouble free world, rather, in a world that is filled with different kinds of problems. Yet the Lord wants us to be joyful and live victoriously. How possible is this?
In our Christian journey trials are very important to our growth and bringing the best out of our lives. Although Satan, most times, brings temptations our way to pull us down or destroy us but God turns them into stepping stones that usher us into the next level.
