I am sorry but all Pastors have an ulterior motive other than spreading the word of God
A fellow phd student put it this way, ‘Luyando lwa mali ngo muyanda wa cibi!’
Can we have age limit to pastoral issues. It seems young leaders are failing us in both spiritual and political realms. Just look at the young one leading a named party. Do you think he will go anywhere? No Just wanting to divide the votes Shame on some under fives.
I conquer with Nyawali,Pastors ought to be veted before they are odained.There are some who mascourade to be pastors but what thaey do behind scenes is something else.Congats DEC for the job you are doing.Please pray for such kind of pastors during your lunch hour fellowship at your work place.
No amount of prayer will people like this from coming up from time to time. It is prophetic!!
It is not just about the age, see the link here: http://www.lusakatimes.com/2011/06/07/dec-arrests-pastor-counterfeit-money/#comment-612226
Neither is it only is Zambia. Religion everywhere is involved in one form of scandal or another. It could sex scandals, torture, dishonesty, etc. Religions that either practise or condone such practices among their members surely can’t have God’s backing can they? God’s word the bible says, they can’t. The bible infact describes people who conduct themselves as workers of lawlessness and they will be rejected by God. Get away from me, Jesus will say to them. So how should we personally view such religions? If decisive action is not taken to turn against such, we too may be told, “away from me”. So how can you find worship approved by God?
Kindly just put the names of people in scandal unlike their titles coz its painting a bad picture on clergy serving God faithfully. Remember we are in the last days and many are coming in da name of God. Lets not danish the name of God’s holy pipo …
Who said that churches should be or must be run or managed by a Reverend, a Pastor, a Bishop or by an Apostle? The Head of the church is Christ. So, churches headed  and/or owned by men will always be found wanting. Fyakuifwaila. If you can get the copy of the book: THE TITHING DILEMMA AND THE TRIUMPHS OF LOVE, you will be better informed on many issues. I am told that it is available on line. Some books are worth reading in order to stay abreast with the happenings of today. Why stay in a church full of hate and division? Doing so is a sign of immaturity.
