Subject: Pastors / prayer who we should listen to |
Bible Note: Paul told Titus that “the bishop must not be grasping and greedy for filthy lucre (financial gain)†Titus 1:7. Far too often, ministers build “their kingdom†off the financial backs of the aged and everyday, hard working person. “Preachers who do not pray become promoters. They become frustrated building contractors. When they lose the touch of God, they lose touch with their people and their needs. Preachers who don’t pray have egos that spin out of control. They want their own way. They substitute sweat for unction (anointing). Evangelists who do not pray become stars, storytellers. They lack humility, so they manipulate crowds through emotional gimmicks. The shame of this generation is that we have too many talented men of God, and only a few who have touched God in prayer†(David Wilkerson).2 |
