What then is Sin?

Recent sexual scandals allegedly reported among leading Nigerian Pastors have been shoring up varied comments and reactions. Today, one actress, Shan George, is found asking OAP Daddy Freeze of Cool FM whether it is sinful to have a Pastor sleeping with and spending on a lady, while the lady (and I assume the Pastor too) is generous with the money she gets. The question is trending online and I desire to add my own answer to others volunteering to answer Shan George.

"Yes, madam Shan, it is a sin for a Pastor to sleep with and to give money to a lady he is not married to, even if that money is meant for philanthropy."

One will assume the answer to such a question is obvious but in our days when sin has been redefined, it is important we state clearly what then sin really is.

Paul the Apostle, probably anticipating a time like these, had said in 1Corinthians 13 that even if he were to give his body to be burnt or if he gave all that he had to the poor, but he had not love in his heart, he was doing nothing. Love is the fruit of God's Spirit in the Christian. Love comes with self control. It demands that a man knows how to possess his vessel in sanctification. Love is Christ command to men to beware of how they look on a lady; for if they do so with lust in their eyes, they have already committed sin.

That is the lofty height of God's commandment: sin does not wait for a Pastor to sleep with a lady before you call it sin, merely desiring her on his bed is sin.

It brings me to some serious matters: all of those pastors who have been alleged to have committed sexual immortality, including but not limited to Biodun Fatoyinbo, Chris Oyakhilome, Chris Okotie, Sunday Adelaja, Johnson Suleiman and even the late Benson Idahosa, are all of the Pentecostal Charismatic sects. There is something fundamentally flawed about this movement and my sincere hope is that I can prove that thesis someday.

The hallmark of Christianity is holiness. It is the reason God has asked all men to have their own wives. If a man of God is truly born again, is daily watching his heart against sin, the world and the devil, is daily praying - confessing his mental sins and finding renewed grace for each day, is in a church were he is accountable to others, etc, that man of God will never fall.

This is my theory: the very nature, structure and theology of Pentecostal Charismatic Prosperity Churches sets up their ministers to bite the dust of sexual sins at last. I predict that 95% of Pentecostal Pastors would have slept with women other than their wives by then end of their lives.

I pray two things for those in those churches: that God will lead you out of them and that God will grant repentance to those pastors - who think it is not a sin to sleep with women other than their wives, all because they are philanthropists.

Explain

Do you know what is sin?
Sin is not believing in the name of jesus christ because
the whole world sin is in his hands.

I can't blame them, they are men, humans so they can fall off the brick, let's pray for them to have a repentant heart and continue the good work the Lord has committed to their hands, let us not forget a sin is a sin, a little lie equals to a massive murder,
