It is not every pastor that is qualified to minister to your need. No matter how good a sermon may be or great a church may look, it doesn't mean that should be your place of worship.
There is a pastor for everybody. Just like every sheep has a shepherd, so also has God in His infinite mercy designed each of us to fit into a particular place of worship. It will be a crucial malady to now try to incorporate what is working in your own church into another church.
Christianity is more than an organized religion. It is a spiritual conglomerate that carries the move of the Spirit to revive the souls of weary men and lost folks. And the reason why most people are still where they are today is simply because they are yet to locate their Peniel- the place of encounter.
Going to church because it is nearer to your house or workplace is a carnal adventure to futility. Going to church because they can pray heaven, earth and brimstone is a geographical dislocation in the place of appointment. Going to church because the praise and worship is balm is like window shopping in vanity cafe. Going to church for signs and wonders alone is like taking a vacation to disneyland in your dream. If you go to church because of position, you're setting up yourself for a global disgrace. If you must go to church at all, it simply must be because God has led you to that place.
The only reason why God will lead you to a church is to be fed with the knowledge of Him and to increase in understanding of His will for your life.
I completely agree with Bishop Oyedepo who says it repeatedly in most of his messages that if your church can not change you, change your church. And I think it was one time I heard my spiritual mentor, Pastor Poju Oyemade says 'if you have changed your church more than 3 times in six years, then you must be heavily influenced by the spirit of seduction.
God said, I will give you pastors according to mine own heart. He didn't say according to your own heart or desire. If you really want to grow in the knowledge of God and increase in the understanding of His will, you must pray that God should show you your pastor.
The word for your life is in the mouth of your pastor. You can gather speed to cover all lost ground in the spirit if you consistently receive a supply of God's word for your life from the mouth of the pastor God has called you to be under.
However, only God can show you your own pastor. But the moment you locate him, everything else will fall in place.
Kindly share.
