PASTOR OR MINISTER TO HAVE PART-TIME JOB, IS IT BIBLICAL or NOT? Controversial Topic 10

PASTOR OR MINISTER TO HAVE PART-TIME JOB, IS IT BIBLICAL?

I have many friend preachers, Pastors and Bishops, they invited me to join their group, to join their Net-Working Part-Time Job, most of them belong to Born Again Christians, They are now Net-Workers of some known Herbal/Organic Products, a Networking Business. 

They are doing this with different reasons:

1^st : Some say that what they received from the Church is not enough for his needs. especially those who have family.

2^nd: They claim that those who will live in Christ will prosper, being rich is the fulfillment and a testimony of the Lord’s promise to everyone that will serve Him, especially Preachers.

BUT WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES ABOUT THOSE WHO WILL SERVE JESUS CHRIST?.

Matthew 19:29  King James Version (KJV)

And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold and shall inherit everlasting life.

Mark 10:28-30 King James Version (KJV)

²⁸Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee. ²⁹ And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's, ³⁰ But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.

THE REAL SERVANT ORDAINED AND CALLED BY GOD FOR THE MINISTRY MUST LEAVE EVERYTHING HE HAS EVEN THEIR PROFESSION AND SHOULD LIVE OF THE GOSPEL:

1 Corinthians 9:14  King James Version (KJV)

14 Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel.

WHY MOST OF THE PREACHERS ARE NOT FULL-TIME MINISTER, MOST OF THEM HAVE WORK AND JUST PART-TIME MINISTER OF THE GOSPEL?

They base their belief and doctrine when Apostle Paul decided to earn something (money) not to become a burden to the Church of Corinthian because of their situation in living, like poverty,

So Paul decided to join brethren's occupation as a tentmaker, and it is written:

Acts 18:3 And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers.

JOINING THEM TO WORK IS NOT A LAW OR COMMANDED BY PAUL, IT IS ONLY PAUL'S DECISION NOT TO BECOME A BURDEN TO THEM.

WHAT HAPPENED WHEN HE DECIDED TO WORK WITH THEM ?

2 Corinthians 12:13 King James Version (KJV)

¹³ For what is it wherein ye were inferior to other churches, except it be that I myself was not burdensome to you? forgive me this wrong.

2 Corinthians 12:13 @ New International Version (NIV)

13 How were you inferior to the other churches, except that I was never a burden to you? Forgive me this wrong!

2 Corinthians 12:13 @ Good News Translation (GNT) Version

13 How were you treated any worse than the other churches, except that I did not bother you for financial help? Please forgive me for being so unfair!

2 Corinthians 12:13 @ Amplified Bible (AMP) Version

13 For in what respect were you treated as inferior to the rest of the churches, except [for the fact] that I did not burden you [with my financial support]? Forgive me [for doing you] this injustice!

INFERIORITY STATUS HAPPENED TO THEM COMPARING TO ALL THE CHURCHES - Inferiority is the condition of being lower in status or quality than another or others, lower in rank or status unlike Church in Macedonia:

BY DOING THAT APOSTLE PAUL ASK FORGIVENESS BEING INJUSTICE TO THE CHURCH IN CORINTHIANS:

2 Corinthians 8 New International Version (NIV) The Collection for the Lord’s People 

And now, brothers and sisters, we want you to know about the grace that God has given the Macedonian churches. 2 In the midst of a very severe trial, their overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity. 3 For I testify that they gave as much as they were able, and even beyond their ability. Entirely on their own, 4 they urgently pleaded with us for the privilege of sharing in this service to the Lord’s people. 5 And they exceeded our expectations: They gave themselves first of all to the Lord, and then by the will of God also to us.

BY THESE APOSTLE PAUL ASK FORGIVENESS BEING INJUSTICE TO THE CHURCH IN CORINTHIANS – “forgive me this wrong”.

VERY CLEAR THAT FOR EVERY PASTORS OR MINISTERS OF THE GOSPEL HAVING A JOB IS 100% WRONG AND INJUSTICE!

TO WHOM MUST TITHES AND OFFERING BE GIVEN FOR CORRECT MANAGEMENT?

Acts 4:33-37 King James Version (KJV)

33 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all. 34 Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, 35 And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need. 36 And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, being interpreted, The son of consolation,) a Levite, and of the country of Cyprus, 37 Having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the apostles' feet.

WITHOUT SENT ONE AND A TRUE LEADER, MONEY ( Tithes and Offering ) WILL NOT MANAGE CORRECTLY :

IS THERE A CHURCH LIKE THIS?

TRY TO RESEARCH, FOR I HAVE FOUND CHURCH DOING AND OBEYING THE LORD JESUS COMMAND, A CHURCH THAT ALL PASTORS / MINISTERS DOES NOT HAVE SALARY  ( ONLY ALLOWANCE BE GIVEN BASE ON HIS NEEDS ).

THEY LIVE BY FAITH, FOLLOWING NOT ONLY THE LORD JESUS CHRIST COMMAND BUT ALSO SUBMITTING THEMSELVES ALSO TO THEIR LEADER WITH AUTHORITY:

WHO AND WHAT CHURCH HAVE THIS KIND OF TEACHING INTO EFFECT OR IMPLEMENTED?

ONLY THE PENTECOSTAL MISSIONARY CHURCH OF CHRIST 4TH WATCH ( PMCC 4th Watch )

Do you know that Pentecostal Missionary Church of Christ ( 4th Watch ) now have about 150 Schools and Buildings, Most of the Church Branches have their own House of Worship not defending on or without Foreign Support unlike other Churches, Brothers and Sisters are blessed and mold into generous giving.

PMCC 4^th Watch owned lots of property, Like : Buses, One of the Biggest Rice Plantation in the Philippines located at Oriental and Occidental Mindoro and in other provinces, they also have Plantations like Fruits, Livestock’s, Fisheries, Radio and TV Network and many others.

Matthew 24: 46-47 King James Version (KJV)

⁴⁶ Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. ⁴⁷ Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.

The Church is also prosper in everything that the Church and Neighbor’s Needs including Free Medical Mission helping the needy by the help of their Foundation, etc. as what is written in Matthew 25:14-30 about the Parable of the Talents.

Our Leader whom called the Goodman of the House, the faithful and wise servant (Matthew 24:43-45 King Kames Version) does not own any property even his own house, everything is in the name of the Church.

PMCC 4th has almost 2 Thousand Bible Students, they surrendered everything even their professions to answer the calling of our Lord Jesus, around 500 Ministers and Pastors who graduated from Maranatha Bible School.  Many young people and some adults also gave their lives now serving as sacrifice to coordinate with Pastors in around Thousands of Local Branches in different parts of the Philippine Islands and going to 70 Branches in different Countries ?  

PERFECT ADMINISTRATION IN FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT BECAUSE OF THE HEAD AND LEADER AS THE TRUE AND WISE SERVANT OF THE LORD :

Matthew 24: 43-45 Amplified Bible (AMP)

⁴³ But understand this: If the head of the house had known what time of the night the thief was coming, he would have been on the alert and would not have allowed his house to be broken into. ⁴⁴ Therefore, you [who follow Me] must also be ready; because the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not expect Him.

⁴⁵ “Who then is the faithful and wise servant whom his master has put in charge of his household to give the others [in the house] their food and supplies at the proper time?

TRULY WHAT THE LORD JESUS SAID WILL BE FULFILLED IN THE COMING AND IT IS NOW HAPPENING IN THIS END TIME SEASON THROUGH HIS GOODMAN OF THE HOUSE A FAITHFUL AND WISE SERVANT : 

Matthew 24:43-45 King James Version (KJV)

⁴³ But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.⁴⁴ Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. ⁴⁵ Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?

WHO'S EVEN IN THE PARABLE OF THE TALENT WAS MENTIONED :

Matthew  25: 14,21  For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.

21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

BUT FOR THOSE SLOTHFUL SERVANTS :

MATTHEW 25 :25-27 And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine. 26 His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed: 27 Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.

THIS IS THE REASON WHY THE LORD SAID IN THE BOOK OF MATTHEW ABOUT OTHER PREACHERS :

Matthew 7:21-23  Amplified Bible (AMP)

²¹ “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven. ²² Many will say to Me on that day [when I judge them], ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, and driven out demons in Your name, and done many miracles in Your name?’ ²³ And then I will declare to them publicly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me [you are banished from My presence], you who act wickedly [disregarding My commands].’

2 Corinthians 10:18 King James Version (KJV)

¹⁸ For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth.

MAY THIS TRUTH BE ENLIGHTENED EVERYONE AND WILL AWAKE YOU FROM LONG DEEP SLEEP OF DARKNESS.
