"The major problem is that some pastors refused to obey what the Bible says. We are expected to seek the kingdom first and then all other things shall be added unto them. But today, some of us seek all other things first before the kingdom of God.”
Pastor Tunde Bakare of the Latter Rain Assembly, Lagos, has condemned the fast growing practice of some pastors, especially in Nigeria, making their wives automatic pastors, for selfish reasons.
Reacting to the 'wrong' trend recent, the popular preacher said:
“On the issue of pastors making their wives automatic pastors, [it] is wrong. In fact, I observed that such things are common in our churches today. Even when a pastor’s wife is called, she has to go through the right process, the Bible College in order to acquire the necessary knowledge to operate successfully.
"Bible colleges are not there for fun, it is to train servants of God. There is no shortcut or sentiment. There are other things the pastors’ wives, who are not called, can do to help the church grow, not serve as pastors."

The love of money is causing many problems today. Many need deliverance from this negative greed
ReplyDelete100% correct! pastor bakare you're the most straight forward pastor i know of in nigeria. nigeria is now a big 'SCAM' country. everything is fake. there were not much churches in the 1980's and nigeria was far morally better than it is today with the influx of churches we now have on every street. may God help this country.we are in a big QUAGMIRE!
ReplyDeleteSome see it as a private company
ReplyDeletethey are incorporated "organisation" to make them profit either as workers or pastor. You can imagine how they wanted to kill "GO" recently.
ReplyDeleteIts a shame. Which institution will change Nigeria?

ReplyDeleteWhy can't these churches follow the doctrine of Roman catholic church where Rev fathers, priests , bishops , rev sisters up to the highest level of ranking ( Pope) are not allowed to marry.
ReplyDeleteTo me if you are a pastor having wife with or without child or children that is nonsense. Its a sin.
Christ has no wife. God has no wife. Why should men of God have wives ( except the catholic)
Joseph

@Joseph if having children is a sin,it means ur dad and mum has commited one for giving birth to you,meanwhile its God Himself dt ordained marriage.
