"I stayed 3 days in my pastors house and didn't hear him pray for long as he teaches. I summoned courage to ask him and he said he is having bed rest"

"Why will a pastor rest, when we wrestle against a devil that doesn't rest?"

Funny how many people expect pastors to pray like machines, give like billionaires, counsel like therapists, preach like angels, forgive like saints, never get tired, never get offended, never struggle, never break down and somehow still smile through it all.

A pastor loses a loved one, and people still ask “Sir, service still holds right?”

A pastor is emotionally exhausted and someone says “But you’re a man of God.”

As though the call to ministry cancelled humanity.

The same pastor you expect to carry your burdens also has burdens he hides so he can keep strengthening others.

The same hands lifted to pray for you may be shaking in private.

The same voice preaching faith may be fighting silent battles.

Ironically, church members can remember every mistake their pastor makes but forget the thousands of times he showed up for them.

One delayed reply becomes “pride.” One moment of weakness becomes “he has changed.” One boundary becomes “he no longer cares.”

Meanwhile, some pastors haven’t rested in years. They carry marriages, funerals, crises, betrayals, expectations, insults, financial pressure, spiritual warfare, and the emotional weight of hundreds of people yet many still expect perfection from them.

Yes, pastors are called by God. But no, they are not robots manufactured from heaven.

Most pastors can't remember the last time they heard a sincere “Sir, how are YOU doing?”

Many pastors are bleeding while preaching. Smiling while drowning. Encouraging others while personally discouraged.

Pastors can get tired.
Pastors can feel pain.
Pastors can be misunderstood.
Pastors can need encouragement too.
Pastors can be broke.

The shepherd also needs care sometimes.

The most common thing a pastor hears all week is “Pray for me.”

But then he wishes to hear “Pastor, thank you. How can I pray for you?”

Appreciate your Pastor under this post and Say Thank you

THE SPIRIT OF GOAT
l grew up in village called Odó-Oba, Ogbomoso that has one of the biggest market where they buying and selling variety of series crops in Nigeria, and I also hawked Guinea corn 🌽 and maize, the best foods of goat for my mummy for our daily income and Odó-Oba is the place I can call the headquarters of rearing local 🐐 goats, so I know very very well and I can tell you about the real characters and spirit of goat. Goat is One of the domestic mammals Animals that have cruxes characters we can learn great lessons from, goat have various characters like: Impatient, glutton, greediness, stinginess, disorderliness, disobedient, stubbornness, fornication, adultery, dirtiness and vagabond spirit, but here in this article I will talk about tree characters: GREEDINESS, DISOBEDIENT and STUBBORNNESS and what JESUS CHRIST said about the goat in the Bible.

1. GREEDINESS: Goat is the one of Herbivorous, Ruminants and Cud animals that used to eat food's and reserve them in the stomach and brought them into the mouth from rumen to be chewed again and it's is animal that can going for long distance and risk its life to seek for daily food and it's doesn't satisfied and you will be wondering when you see a 🐐 goat, especially big she goat, sitting down somewhere, chewed it's mouth all the time and if it's open mouth, you will not see any Trace of food in it's mouth, that is the signs of greediness, likewise also some human being have greedy character of goat, they don't satisfied and if they have enough, they will pretend as they don't have anything and Even a little you have, they want to take it and join it to their own, If you have these such characters, change now before it is too late.

2.DISOBEDIENT, and STUBBORNNESS: Goat is the one of the most disobedient and stubborn animal that doesn't want to know what will happen, if it's want to eat, if you pursue or beat goat seriously now, in a minute, it's will come back to eat that food again, unless you take it away to a place it's can not reach, so also some of us, are like goat that did not hear once, you are reading and hearing the word of GOD all the time, but yet you are still transgress the law's of GOD, if you have these characters, GOD is telling you through this article to amend your character now, otherwise you will face your consequences in last day,(the judgement day)

"Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. v 19 If ye be willing and OBEDIENT, ye shall eat the good of the land: v 20 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it" (Isaiah 1:18-20.)

Hear What Jesus Christ said and what will happen to 🐐 GOAT (Unrighteous people) and 🐑 SHEEP (Righteous people) in Judgement day in the book of Matthew 25:32-46 "And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: v:33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. v:34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: v:35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: v:36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. v:37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? V:38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? v:39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? v:40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. v:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: v:42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: v:43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. v:44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? v:45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. v:46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal"

I'm sure if Apostle Ayo Babalola had the opportunity to appear physically, he would flog this man and those who praying on his grave for his mantle.

There is a dangerous thin line between honour and idolatry...

Going to pray at the grave of Apostle Ayo Babalola no matter how great, anointed or used by God he was is not spirituality.

Apostle Babalola was a vessel, not the Source.
He was used mightily by God, but he was never presented in Scripture as a mediator between God and men.

1 Timothy 2:5 says

“For there is one God and ONE mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.”

Not prophets.
Not apostles.
Not fathers of revival.
Not graves of men God once used.

ONE mediator.

When men begin to pray at graves, they shift their faith from Christ’s finished work to the memory of a man’s past 'anointing'.

When Moses died, God Himself buried him in a location no man could find because God knew the human tendency to convert men into shrines. If Israel had access to Moses’ grave, history shows they would likely have turned it into an altar.

God does not share His glory with vessels.

In Acts 10, When Cornelius fell at Peter’s feet, Peter lifted him immediately and said, “Stand up; I myself am also a man”

In Acts 14, When people tried to sacrifice to Paul and Barnabas because of the miracles they performed, they tore their clothes in distress and shouted that they were only men.

True servants of God never allow spiritual devotion to be redirected toward them.

Anointing is not stored in soil. Grace is not transferable through graves.

When prayer shifts location from God’s throne to a man’s burial site, the object of faith has already shifted...

The apostles never returned to Golgotha to pray. They never camped at the empty tomb to seek power. They never visited the burial places of prophets for spiritual activation.

They prayed in the Name of Jesus and carried the Spirit within them.

We must also protect the legacy of men like Apostle Babalola by representing what they truly stood for not praying to their dead spirits.

Christianity is not grave centered. It is throne centered.

And the throne is occupied by a living King not a departed general of faith.

Shalom
