One thing that I know is that it is necessary to put whatever brings food to our tables important. So many people, when they pray, they always pray to God for more money. I’m one of those who pray to God for more money but I always work for it.
But some people want more money without working or sweating for it. It is just like some pastors also. They want to do the missionary but not do any job. And they always claim to follow the ways of the Lord.
When Jesus Christ was alive, he was a carpenter. He also did something to put food on his table.
Mark 6:3 says; Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.
Let’s not care about those who are or were offended at him first. Let’s care about the line that referred Jesus Christ as a carpenter. That’s just the truth and that’s who he was. He also did something to feed himself.
So why are there some new pastors that rely on the things or the money that their church members contribute as an offering? It’s bad and that’s what so many pastors live on.
If these pastors can preach Christ to us, they should also do what he says which is having a job and not depending in anyway on what their church members give to them.
