The Head Pastor of Alabaster International Ministry (AIM), Prophet Kofi Oduro, has entreated his members to avoid making their pastors demigods by over-relying on them for prayers.
Preaching at a midweek service last Wednesday, the vibrant preacher cautioned the congregation to put a stop to the habit of leaving the aspect of prayer to only pastors.
Prophet Oduro added that, it’s good to share an issue with your pastor but it is far better to grow from that level to a point where you can tarry in your prayer closet.
“We need prophets, pastors, apostles, teachers and evangelists in our lives but we must understand that they are not God. They cannot take the place of God in our lives,” Prophet Oduro admonished.
The Prophet further condemned the habit of Christians securing visas to travel all the way to South Africa and other countries just to receive a miracle, whereas God has made provision for his children to have direct access to him anytime.
“Christians of today have become like sheep without a shepherd and are just moving from one church to the other in quest of a breakthrough, instead of building a strong relationship with God,” he exclaimed.
The AIM head pastor also admonished men of God to blatantly entreat their members to know the need of reverencing God as the only one that can be relied upon in time of need, and not any pastor or prophet.
The message was received with jeers and hand offering as the service concluded with a corporate prayer for the nation, Ghana
