An attack like the one Pastor Chris' marriage should take the body of christ to their knees. <br />The fall/mistake of a man of God or any believer should take believers to their knees not to the media.<br />When the shepherd is struck, the sheep scatter. That is why believers should join hands and pray for men of God so that God's sheep are preserved.<br />Yes his defense may even be wrong but that is not a reason for a man of God to give him a public lashing and sentence the charismatic church to "suffer more hemorrhage among its top leaders..." <br />Touch Not my anointed and do my prophets no harm. Psalm 105:11<br />David understood this that is why he spared Saul’s life even though Saul was rejected by God. David still recognized him as God’s anointed. 1 Samuel 24<br />If he is lost, pray that God will show him the truth not only for his sake but also for the SHEEP.<br />MEN OF GOD SHOULD BE PROACTIVELY PRAYING FOR EACH OTHER REGARDLESS OF DENOMINATION BECAUSE ONLY A MAN OF GOD CAN FULLY UNDERSTAND THE BATTLES AND STRUGGLES OF THEIR FELLOW CLERGY.<br />“95% OF SCANDALS MAY BE HAPPENING AMONG CHARISMATIC LEADERS” BECAUSE 95% OF MIRACLES, SIGNS AND WONDERS ARE ALSO HAPPENING AMONG CHARISMATIC LEADERS.<br />THE DEVIL WANTS TO MESS THEM UP BECAUSE THEY ARE BUSY SETTING TH CAMP OF THE ENEMY ON FIRE BY:<br /> 1. MINISTERING TO MILLIONS ACROSS THE GLOBE THROUGH THE WORD, WITH SIGNS AND WONDERS FOLLOWING; AND<br /> 2. WINNING SOULS TO JESUS IN HUNDREDS AND THOUSANDS (Mark 16:17-20).<br />*So yes they will have battles but they are more than conquerors.<br />*Yes they may fall but 7 times a righteous man may fall, 7 times he shall rise.<br />*Yes they may not see that they have fallen, but the GRACE of God that brings salvation has appeared to ALL men...<br />What good is it to confess that “im a fallen creature in need of watch.... “ yet with the same mouth cast judgement on your brethren? For all have sinned and FALL short of the glory of God.<br />One may need deliverance from false doctrine, another may need deliverance from the pride of life like the pharisee in Luke 18:9-14.<br /><br />we must actively watch our Words, Thoughts, Deeds and motives and PRAY…. <br />Its more than enough to be at war with the devil and his forces. But its a shame that christians today are busy adding battles on each other.<br />Its hard enough to have media, tabloids,etc ransack you but where do you get hope from if a fellow man of God publicly ridicules you? <br />Believers should not fight believers. Believers should not Judge other believers.<br />Men of God should not bash men of God.Lets be a brothers' keeper. Lets be agents of love, peace,hope and restoration.<br /><br />And we cannot all be conservatives and cannot all be charismatic. God himself doesnt want us to be the same because he loves variety. <br />Norah A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05611778115692137285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2301621142882601935.post-34554910752133616392017-03-14T00:25:59.558+02:002017-03-14T00:25:59.558+02:00Its very sad to say there are Baptists that are Ch...Its very sad to say there are Baptists that are Charismatics, and even much more sadder to say there are even Reformed Baptists that are Charismatics.Gregory Gillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16236221099414568837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2301621142882601935.post-13905645190384295662017-03-13T04:32:40.395+02:002017-03-13T04:32:40.395+02:00THE BIBLE SAYS, "...KNOWLEDGE PUFFS UP WHILE ...THE BIBLE SAYS, "...KNOWLEDGE PUFFS UP WHILE LOVE BUILDS."<br /><br />I have respect both for Pastor Mbewe and Pastor Chris. Why? God has used them to transform my life in character and faith, and from both, in a notable way. I salute baptists, they have something vital to offer to the body of Christ, though it's not respected by charasmatics. I salute the charasmatics, they have something vital to offer to the body of Christ, though it is not respected by the baptists. <br />I believe that in terms of doctrine, neither the baptists nor charasmatics have it all. Nonetheless, and interesting, what I have observed is this: while you can find a few charasmatics appreciating certain baptists' principles, you will almost not find any baptists appreciating anything about charasmatics.<br /><br />Baptists are extremely critical of charasmatics as you will always find out. <br /><br />Question from God's view: <br /><br />Don't the charasmatics also have the same right to be critical of baptists? If course they have the same right! As long as baptists, esp baptist leaders, don't intro-inspect themselves in this regard, they will always continue to feel superior in knowledge. <br /><br />1 Corinthians 8:1 says ".....Yes, we know that "we all have knowledge" about this issue. But while knowledge makes us feel important, it is love that strengthens the CHURCH."<br /><br />What CHURCH? it is the entire body of Christ. <br /><br />Let me conclude: If baptists still refuse to see this point, don't be shocked to believe that they really think they are the, church 'ekklesia,' the only true church of Christ, and others like charasmatics are counterfeit Christians. <br /><br />Are the charasmatics counterfeit Christians to you? Or they too are part of the church, the body of Christ? <br /><br />And if your answer is that they too are part and parcel of the body of Christ, then who has made you, baptists, superior in the knowledge that puffs up, that instead of building yourselves in love, you should be assaulting your own brothers and sisters publicly as if you are of this world, because that is what heathens do?<br /><br />Let every baptist answer this question without beating about the bush? Are the charasmatics counterfeit Christians to you?<br />josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05253200755603918396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2301621142882601935.post-34157367954487899952016-09-24T10:06:58.215+02:002016-09-24T10:06:58.215+02:00The biggest problem in church (orgainsation) today...The biggest problem in church (orgainsation) today is "IDOLATRY", we are not like the Bereans who made sure that whatever Paul spoke was verified in the scriptures ,if they could do that to Paul, who is Pst Chris not to weighed in light of rhe scroptures?

He loved the world of human beings not animals and those human beings were sinners and some are still living there but he loves them anyway. To those whose eyes he has opened he says to snatch those that still live in sin to come to righteousness. What God wants is for you to pray for such ones, the false prophets, and false teachers, you who are enlightened, you that have received the gospel pray that they also must receive and be changed. That there message is false no longer, that they too must preach Christ and bring many sons to righteousness. God doesn't want anyone to go to hell, he has embraced the whole world and he expects us that have the light to shine. In situations like these where you can’t reach the person you invite God in it through prayer, prayers that touch lives in other places.

To their own master, servants stand or fall. And they will stand, for the Lord is able to make them stand.<br />Have you also never read how David had an opportunity to slay Saul but he didn’t because Saul was God's anointed? Even when the Amalekite came before David to bring Saul's crown and bracelet expecting a reward form David, David rent his clothes and wept and fasted for Saul and his Son Jonathan until evening when he called the Amalekite to ask him how he was not afraid to slay the Lord's anointed. He even wrote a song saying do not publicize Saul’s death least the daughters of the Philistines rejoice. Read it for yourself in 2 Sam 1. Read the whole chapter. <br />Bottom line is on that day God is not going to ask you to give account of how Pastor Chris or rev Anita or anyone else even your own family lived their lives. He will ask you to account for yours. Conrad Mbewe Christ is your wisdom allow him to guide you. 1 cor 1:30. Do not be quick to judge.
