Pastors: let's respect other Messengers Of God

The way we speak about men and women of God is disturbing. Recently pastors have been persecuted for this and that. Some have been called fraudsters, thieves etc.

Although some of the persecutors are non-Christians, the trend has departed as this is also done by some pastors against other pastors.  It is shocking to hear a pastor standing on a pulpit in front of a congregation talking negatively about another pastor, yet they claim that they are serving God. The Bible made us to understand that as Christians we are one in the body of Christ Jesus. Some men and women of God preach negatively about Prophet TB Joshua in their churches because their members visit Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) in Lagos, Nigeria.

To stand on a pulpit and preach about another pastor is a way of bringing yourself low before your congregation because it shows you did not prepare your sermon and hence have nothing to deliver or may be you are not confident about your calling. Even though the Bible says we should admonish one another with biblical facts, but not in the manner some pastors go about it. When it is Prophet TB Joshua, they judge and condemn alright, ignoring what the Bible says in Luke 6:37 and Matthew 7:1; who are you to judge?
