Why You Must Be Your Own Boss!

                                 

When it comes to your personal life matters, take advice don’t take orders. Be a good student not just a blind follower. Don’t let anyone control your life, be your own boss. That is how God created you to be. Hence, He gave you a will and the power and freedom to exercise it. Anything or person that deprives you of the power to excising your will is not of God. Be it your church, pastor, leaders, mentors, parents, family, spouse, friends, colleagues, etc.  This is what I call manipulations and is from the pit of hell. Jesus never did that to His disciples even God did not do that to humanity. Then who are you to do that to your fellow human?

Just that you are a pastor does not give you the right to run people’s personal lives. You can advise, guild and care for people, but don’t control them. Let them take their final decisions themselves. There are so many dictators in suits today in our churches in the name of pastors. Be very careful of them and don’t allow yourself to be a victim of their manipulations. They are like sheep in wolf’s clothing, pretending to be working in your favor but what they are really after is their stomach and self-aggrandizement. Pastors that want to be in charge of everything concerning your personal life, it is ridiculous but yet true. So many people are so naïve to let these things happen to them because they have been brain-washed to believe that doing this is pleasing God.

How will your pastor be the one to choose your life partner for you and tell you when to marry? How can anyone even allow this to happen to them you might ask? But that does not still change the fact that is happening every day. These dictators in the name of pastors have mastered the act of manipulations. They have known how to best take advantage of the ignorance of their followers. The scriptures rightly said it; my people perish for lack of knowledge. Because they will not study the scriptures themselves or build personal relationship with God, they have come to believe that the word of their so called pastors is equivalent to the words of God.

Hence, they are blinded to the staggering facts starring at them. Even when something is not pleasing to them they can’t oppose it. Because saying no to your pastor will get him angry and if he is angry, it will shift you from God’s covering and by so doing you will not be blessed. What level of ignorance! Guess who taught them this strange doctrine? “Their pastors, the dictators” I am totally perplexed by some believers that will not do their due diligence to study the bible for themselves. They do not have any personal relationship with God but are only busy chasing religion, church activities and the mundane things of live. What a tragedy!!!

Come on! Take your life back. Start by building a personal relationship with God and stop chasing shadows. Until you know and build a personal relationship with God yourself, you will not be set free from the manipulation of other humans irrespective of whom they are. Get your mind to work, develop yourself, work hard and be a good student of the bible and a diligent follower of Christ not your Pastor. I’m I in anyway saying you should not respect or obey your pastors? Not at all! My point in conclusion is DON’T LET ANYONE TAKE THE PLACE OF GOD IN YOUR LIFE.
