Preface

This book has come at a most auspicious time. The write-up is Holy Spirit inspired and uniquely destined to impact the pulpit and church towards harnessing and consolidating on the end time imperatives. It is written to address the most vital problem of Christianity today.

The office of a pastor has been so bastardized to the extent that it has become an All Comers Affair. Numerous people now avail themselves of the so-called spoils of the pastoral office - to the point of jettisoning the core of the calling. Today’s pastor is increasingly becoming a toothless bulldog who can only bark but cannot bite.

The ministry of the Holy Spirit has invariably gone moribund on today’s pulpit. Negatively powered entities masquerading themselves as pastors now appear to have been programmed and released from the kingdom of darkness to deceive even the elect. Who Made You a Pastor highlights this hydra-headed pulpit problem through the categorization of the underlying factors - by beaming a searchlight on the causative factors and the reasons for their existence. It also dwells on the intents and categories of the so-called pastors and gives an exposition on the character traits of Self-Appointed Pastors, Hierarchy-Appointed Pastors, Necessity-Appointed Pastors, Satan-Appointed Pastors, and God-Appointed Pastors. It dwells on the various powers and authorities behind these categories. It also clearly highlights the criteria for divine appointment of a pastor and also list and expose the twenty five basic rudiments or service in ministry.

The book also presents a set of compass to enable you know whether your pastor and church are on the right track - that is, God-Appointed and Holy Spirit indwelling or a pastor and church that is significantly a charade. It also provides forty questions that will unravel the true identity of a church and pastor.

This book will expose you to the truth domiciled in today’s pastor and church. It is also a unique resource material for all those who intend to function as true worshippers in the vineyard of the Lord and also for those who have seemingly gone astray but are willing to retrace their steps. This book presents a genuine and pragmatic way out of the quagmire. Essentially, you cannot go through this book without clearly recognizing or identifying your present state or condition - in terms of whether you are a true worshipper or not. The compass provided by this book will enable you to discern between a true and false pastor and also a true and false church.

You are blessed! Go ahead and uncover the amazing secrets revealed in this book.

Introduction

The pastor who is supposed to cast out demons is being heavily tormented by demons. The pastor who is supposed to heal the sick is in grave need of healing. The pastor who is swimming in an endless sea of sin is making the altar call. The pastor who is supposed to be in an endless pit of retribution is occupying the mountain peak of pleasure and light. The pastor who is supposed to shepherd the flock is in absolute need of a shepherd – Who is fooling who? The Christian world today is indeed at a horrendous crossroad. The unimaginable has boldly crept into the church and the true worshippers are daily becoming extinct. Those divinely endowed with the spirit of boldness are now becoming timid. Oh! How are the mighty fallen! Surely - by His grace they will either rise again or a new generation of God’s workers will be programmed and empowered to take their place. The Almighty God is able to raise men to accomplish His purpose.

This category of appalling pastors has unfortunately transformed the church into a vibrant and potent cult-like entity. Apparently, during the days of Christ - out of every twelve followers - there was the presence of Judas Iscariot. Unfortunately, in today’s church - the situation has degenerated to a point whereby the statistics is likely to be – out of every twelve there are eleven Judas Iscariots. The truth has increasingly taken a permanent flight in our churches. Our God is a consuming fire. I am sure that at the appointed time he will feed such fake pastors with the appropriate wormwood that they truly deserve.

Jeremiah 23: 11-15 alludes to this fact.

Vs. 11. "For both prophet and priest are profane; yea, in my house have I found their wickedness saith the LORD.

Vs. 12. Wherefore their way shall be unto them as slippery ways in the darkness: they shall be driven on, and fall therein: for I will bring evil upon them, even the year of their visitation, saith the LORD.

Vs. 13. And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria; they prophesied in Baal, and caused my people Israel to err.

Vs. 14. I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness: they are all of them unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.

Vs. 15. Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts concerning the prophets: Behold I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall: for from the prophets of Jerusalem is profaneness gone forth into all the land."

The Almighty God has not sent these so-called men of God - yet they deceive multitudes with swift heretical messages carefully packaged from the pit of hell (Jeremiah 23: 21).

I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.

These profane ambassadors of the devil will certainly not end well as proclaimed in Jeremiah 10: 21.

For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the LORD: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered.

If they do not repent - the punishment of the Lord will surely be visited upon such pastors as obtained in Jeremiah 23:1-2.

Vs. 1. "Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! Saith the LORD.

Vs. 2. Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the LORD."

The Almighty God has also promised to destroy all those that defile his temple (1Corinthians 3:17).

If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

Unfortunately, numerous identifiable cocoons of pulpit types now exist to the consternation of even the elect. All forms of despotic and horrifying emissions now crescent diverse pulpits. Solemn music has lately occupied myriads of pulpits and unfortunately, the secret of such music is unknown to the gullible ones. These satanically recruited and paid caricature drummers are apparently domiciled deep beneath the sea. However, the amplifiers of their lucid but wavy transmissions are licensed agents who are represented by some people friendly corporate entities. The hallowed chamber (pulpit) has now become a smokescreen whose supreme relevance is determined by agents of darkness masquerading as pastors.

The absolutely unimaginable has now violently taken over the centre stage. The situation on today’s pulpit is becoming increasingly incredible to the extent that it has been diabolically programmed to implode
