Why RCCG pastors can't remarry (Page 4)

Quote from: midasmanny on 28-08-2009 08:46 AM

@ Kenyawest "Is it not adultery in the marriage when the pastor's ex-wife has remarried and living with another man?"

Pastor Adeboye might know what we dont!!

Let them spell it out.  A decision made by the church should be open for everybody to discern.  This should not be a secret.

The body of Christ needs to be transparent.

The pastor could have ask God for direction since he's annoited man of God or inform the governing council about what his martrimonial home probably they can give him one or two advice on what he cn do before taking up another wife, though waiting for 10yrs is not easy.
So,now that he has been sacked from officiating as a pastor in RCCG which doesnt stop him from being a member,i will say he should continue to worship @RCCG in that same parish by so doing when they sees his commitment and steadfastness 4 som months they can pray and annoiting him again,then call him back to his pastorage work.I guess that's a way of purnishing the ministers /workers dt goes against the church rules nd laws in RCCG,if this pastor should go nd establish his own church witout finishing his purnishment nd being pray for by the G.O or governing council he might not succed in his ministry,bcos no pastor/worker goes out of the church under a punishment nd established thier own ministry that cn succed,so its better for him to ask for the grace of God to uphold him inorder to serve ds purnishment.
This kind of incident happend to one of the powerful,annoited man of God in my church somtimes ago,even an excom member in d head quaters church but he patiently stayed to finishd his purnishment, for almost 2yrs he did not officiated as pastor in the church nd later on he was called  out to d alter and whole church prayd him.

I am not judging here, but my point of view on this issue is this, the said pastor shld nt have remarried. the only condition for remarrying is the DEATH OF A SPOUSE OR  ADULTERY OF A PARTNER. since there was none of these, then, he shld nt have remarried. Periodd!!

Is this a cult that dishes out punishment for getting married when your wife has gone and remarried another man?

if truly he s a genuine pastor let him pray dat the ALL Knowing God should direct, and speak to him, most inportantly, he should not allow his wife issue to make him loose his heavenly reward.

My response to the topic:

There is need for everyone to know that situations and experiences are different from beliefs.

God respond to situations as they are and not legalistic rules. Take the case of Abraham who married a concubine called HAGGAH. God instructed Abraham to send her away. He obeyed without delay. Definitely God does not support polygamy.

However, Jacob had two legal wives and two concubines who all gave birth to his twelve sons. I used to ask why God did not INSTRUCT jacob to send off his second wife and two concubines. The twelve children of Four women were given portions in the land of Canaan. They also became the fathers of the blessed TWELVE tribes of Israel.  

In addition Our Biblical GOD is also called the "GOD of Abraham, Isaac and JACOB (husband of four women)". The way God judges people as modeled by our LORD Jesus Christ is a mystery. His ways are not our ways. I do not support polygamy or second marriages. But we must understand as Christians that GOD responds and JUDGES cases within their context in the New Testament dispensation of GRACE. Such examples as that of the RCCG pastor is evidence of a fallen world in which we are. I respect such men of God who do not deny that They are mortal men called by the special grace of God given to mortal people.

I want to advice that the RCCG pastor should not be JUDGED by men. He stepped down as Pastor in order to obey the foundational beliefs and christian code of conduct (especially for Pastors) within The RCCG denomination. His action is thus to be seen as exemplary. Critics should be careful before commenting positively or negatively on his case. God does not have pleasure in people critisizing His called ones. The Pastor involved is still God's anointed vessel with God's call, gift and anointing which only GOD can remove if HE so desires.

Furthermore, as a seminary lecturer, you should remember that at no time was Abraham married to Haggai but Haggai was introduced to us as Sarah's maid servant or slave girl.
