A Man Of God, An Empty Barrel? by EmekaStanley: 8:24pm On Apr 15, 2023
I have been thinking about this for a while now. 2 days ago I was driving home, the thought came ringing in my head again; the rebellion against God in the world today keeps growing daily, and a lot of people (even those born in Christian homes) are becoming indifferent about God.

Yeah...…it's a thing of concern to me because I am a grateful man who has a little understanding of how much love God invested in humanity.

That little, anytime I remember convinces me that God doesn't deserve the ridicule man keeps subjecting him to.

People openly mock God because they believe he is just an imagination, or if he exists, is powerless.

It is to my understanding that there are agents of darkness that can't be converted but there are millions of people desperately in search of God, and will gladly answer God's call.

It's taking too much effort than before to convince someone about God and how loving he is....it seems.

To me, there are a lot of preachers (even though more are needed) but the corresponding winning of souls or conversion seems to be low, and lower.

My mind narrowed it down to one thing which could be arguable, and that is Power - exercising heavenly powers. A lot of these preachers lack powers; they are powerless.

The attendant power (to heal the sick, raise the dead, declare freedom to captives and good news to the poor) seems to be insufficient.

I have been privileged to see God move through the Holy spirit in real time, so I know this power is real and works.

And as much we may not know, some people will automatically be converted when they see God's power in action.

Nowadays, we seem to have more talking pastors and reverends, with no power to back it up, thereby making them empty barrels.

There's no need faking miracles because at the end of the day, it is counter-productive.

If you are pastor, Reverend or hold any clergical title, please request for power from God to execute your tasks.

The focus of the world to justify God's power in man is majorly upon those who claim that God called them to be clergy(whether true or false), and you must have the power to do works that comes with it - healing the sick, raising the dead, freeing captives. This may be all the conviction they need.

I am neither a pastor nor a Reverend, not interested in any of that. In fact, I do not ever want any clergical title beside my name. I am a practising catholic, which also rules out any possibility.

I am an entrepreneur seeking to build many business portfolios, but because of this void, I have silently prayed to God to give me these powers.

It won't harm to be a wealthy entrepreneur (filled with power) that heals the sick, raise the dead, free captives and give poor people goodnews, without owning or receiving any church rites.

I mean, I could just be walking or driving in the streets of Lagos or Switzerland or anywhere, I see a lame or blind man, I decree healing upon them in the name of Jesus, and they immediately get healed, right there. Then, there won't be any doubt that it was an instantaneous occurrence. And I would go my own way, but never failing to acknowledge God as the one behind it.

Oh this would be so sweet, and a dream come true but it is left to God to make (the healing and wonders part) a reality. The initial part, he already did.

But then, Pastors and all clergies, please pay the price you need to and activate these powers of God in you, for your church or ministry and for the general good of the gospel. One wonder from God could equal tens of years of talks from you.

Keep talking but back it up with powers from God, it will make everything make more sense and bring more people closer to God.

BRO pls mind your business and leave CHURCH PASTORS matters.... its beyond you.

CHURCH is a spiritual self employment path for those you call pastors.

TITHE is not even the issue.

Your post shows you have never been to a MOUNTAIN of prayer before.... so continue you normal christian life.

THERE ARE MEN IN NIGERIA WHO CARRY RAW POWER.... UNEDUCATED AND RAW... but they live in the mountains of OSun, Ogun, Oyo, even the North.

Men of GOD... who can decree a thing and it will happen BUT GOD kept them in those remote places so they won't be stained with the current error in the churches today.

Any one who truly seeks GOD can be anointed with power.... but then MONEY, WOMEN AND POWER are the things that have made GOD regret gifting His power to people.

A PERSON CAN BE GENUINELY ANOINTED and use it to sleep with several woman and make serious money from them.

How many gospel singers have lost their ministry by becoming mistresses to genuine pastors who missed their way.

There is a difference between, FAKE PASTOR, FALSE TEACHER AND BACKSLIDDEN PASTOR.

God does not call perfect people, He qualifies whomever he calls

we need wisdom in minding our business and not imagining vain things we know nothing or little about.

I KNOW A PASTOR WHO WAS GOOD AND UPRIGHT TILL HE FASTED FOR 120 DAYS AND HIS PROPHETIC EYES OPENED, and people started coming to him for prophecies and giving him jeep and houses.... HE SLEPT WITH MANY POLITICIANS WIVES, MANY RICH MEN WIVES AND THE GIFT WAS STILL WORKING..... ONE DAY HE SAW A DREAM THAT IF HE DOESN'T REPENT HE WOULD BE EXPOSED ON INSTAGRAM, AND EVERYWHERE... HE DECIDED TO STOP... BUT THE HABIT OF SEX HAD FILLED HIM SO MUCH THAT HE STARTED SLEEPING WITH HIS MAIDS..... He prayed and fasted but it didnt go. He met bigger pastors to help him but they used him to preach on their pulpits.


He finally closed his church... and attempted suicide twice, then in 2020, he cut off his penis because it is causing him to sin(he took the scripture literarily ).... till 2022 he was in COMA.... sadly February 11th he died. There was tears in his eyes when he passed on.

EVERYONE SHOULD STAY WHERE GOD HAS CALLED THEM.... If GOD gave you such powers as an enterprenuer, you will be fooooled to starting a BUSINESS MEN FELLOWSHIP AND THERE WILL BE MIRACLES then soon, they will HYPE you to start church.... and the bigger you grow, the deeper your grave because GOD DIDNT SEND YOU. STAY IN YOUR LANE

Hmmm.....this is a lot.

You have a point, but the bottom line of my message is, let pastors walk and walk with God's power.

Them misusing it is a another discuss.
