Why some pastors lie

“I am now an angel”.

” I eat and wine with the Lord himself”.

” Call me by this title”.

” You cannot just come into my presence”.

” touch not my annointed”

Jesus the Christ as was and still is his title, did not seek self aggrandizement nor material wealth. When he chose to use a vehicle on land, it was a donkey. When he entered his Father’s house and saw the rot in the place, he took a cane.

When people don’t like reading, they await a for a few to read and narrate to them. A lot of people simply don’t read. In that scenario, a One eyed man is reverred by the blind. He is actually proclaimed a king.

Some pastors simply lie because they know their congregants are ignorant. They know their people will dare not challenge them. Their people are scared because the good book says ” touch not the Lord’s annointed.”  These days we see every he  and she becoming a pastor because the Lord called them. Who saw the call? Who heard the call? I forget. It is a feeling. Afterall, Jesus is in the miracle business. In the words of one of these pastors ” this church business that we are doing is from Jesus..”

It is their aim to acquire wealth and bequeath same to their born and unborn generation that leads some of these pastors to tell lies. Having escaped from the wicked clutches of poverty and preying on the gullibility and vulnerability of people, they tell them what they want to hear.

Let us not forget the socio-economic aspect. Due to the flight of the economy on a downward trend, people tend to seek solace from these pastors with the hope that these men of god would turn things around for them, Verily verily I say unto you if you spend all your time in church how will your business grow? Each Sunday is filled with impartation and sowing of seeds. What fruit is being grown? What seed ? Who reaps? As madam wants a  child, she comes to the pastor to be prayed for. It is good. Definitely counseling takes place. Why don’t you tell the truth to the woman to seek medical help,  for her inability to produce is as a result of all the abortions she committed? Why won’t you tell that lady in the church why she is still not married? Why won’t you tell that rich young man the truth about his lifestyle?  Is it because of the tithe, the offering, the gifts? There  is the need to feed the people lies just so their (pastors)lives go on too.

If it is not so, then tell me ” why do some pastors tell lies?”
