Let me close this lesson by summarizing what I have been
saying.
When a pastor is a title or job, the result is a malfunction
in the church of Christ. In other words, the church starts serving the
interests of the enemy of God, the antichrist.
What is the main purpose of homosexuality? It is to kill the
possibility of conception and therefore procreation. In humanistic reason, you
can sin and escape the consequences. That is the reason God calls it an
abomination as it stands flush against nature and God’s purpose of creating man
in the first place.
Sexual immorality always has the potent danger of conception
when it involves a man and woman, a danger that makes many get scared of
sinning, however enlightened they may think they are. ‘I am pregnant’ is always
a shocker outside marriage.
You see, even abortion is a risky procedure however much it
is marketed. And at times it fails. Even worse is the fact that the sinners
might eventually decide against it, meaning that there are no guarantees that
it will happen. How many have changed their minds on abortion just before
climbing the killer’s bench for the ‘procedure’?
That is why homosexuality is the ultimate weapon the evil
one has released to the world to kill the godly offspring by ensuring it is
never there in the first place.
A normal church has a functional pastor and not a titled
one.
What is the relationship of this with homosexuality? You may
be asking.
A pastor is a father, or at least must have a father’s heart
for that function to thrive.
As such, he nurtures his flock so that they become the best
they can for his employer (the One who called him).
As a father, he gives, as opposed to looking for what he can
get from those he leads.
Even potential (talents, spiritual gifts) are looked at in
that light. He does not look to harness them for the benefit of ‘his’ church.
Rather, he looks for the best way to maximize the same for God’s enterprise. He
will therefore build the gifted instead of looking to access the gifts.
Look at it like a father who discovers that his ten year old
is very musical.
A good father will not rush him to the recording studio or
media house because he knows that doing so will most likely destroy his future
as he is unable at that age to handle stardom. He will protect him and nurture
him until he is mature enough and prepared enough to run with his gift.
An entrepreneurial or immature father will seek to maximize
that gift for his own use however fluent his argument is for the betterment of
the child could be. Chances are that this child may not reach his age of
majority or if he does he will be in tatters.
As someone involved in discipleship I can affirm that a vast
majority of the pastors we have are hirelings and not fathers.
I lost count of the times people I am discipling are
snatched by a pastor just because a gift or stability has started showing as
always happens with discipleship. Some have died as they were thrown into the
deep end of ministry before they were mature enough to handle it. And destinies
have been destroyed by such pastors. All because they do not have time to bear
and grow their own children and so will snatch from the one doing it. And any
disciple maker has enough such stories.
A clear indicator that we have the father’s heart missing in
our pastors is the fact that churches look for pastors (and other key
ministers) outside their congregation. In other words pastors not only hope
that someone else is raising children, he waits for them with bated breath. He
is therefore a spiritual eunuch or even a spiritual homosexual since he has no
seed to spread abroad.
That is the key reason most pastors of today are scared of
speaking against sin. You see, only a father has the authority to rebuke his
children. How will he therefore be able to rebuke children who just dropped in
his compound, especially since he is not even feeding them (properly)?
A father can use the rod on his children because they have
‘nowhere’ else to run to. An ‘uncle’ dare not be hard on the children because
they will run off back to their father.
Pastors without the pastor’s heart are like that uncle. They
are always pampering sin and sinners to maintain their congregation. He is an
enabler of everything except righteousness and holiness as only the true pastor
knows how to use the rod and staff on the flock.
