Marketing
guru, pastor and writer, Kola Oyeyemi has released another thought provoking
book titled “Beware of Pastors… Pastors Beware!”
“Beware of
Pastors… Pastors Beware!” addresses the ongoing discussion about Nigerian
pastors and Christian worshippers which critics have described as worshipping man
instead of God.
Published by
Trendy Publishing LLC, the book portrays in simple terms the
dangers of ignorance in the life of a Christian, which provides a platform for
false prophets to thrive on.
''False
prophets thrive on the ignorance and or laziness of the believer. The desire of
the believer for instant miracles and his unwillingness to embrace the
responsibilities consequent upon his new birth makes him a captive of the
wolves in cassock''
The book declared that man is a product of a network of beings and so
require relationships with fellow beings to live fulfilling lives. It however
warned that relationships never leave you the same way. They affect
you either positively or negatively. They either build up your
virtues or lead you into vices. He therefore advocated a clear rule of
engagement in any relationship so each party knows the terms of their
relationship. For a relationship to be a win-win one however, whether it is
spiritual or physical, he reiterated that there must be a commonality
of being or purpose.
“Every good
relationship is driven by a commonality of being and/or purpose. The beings
must either be identical in nature or in purpose. This is what creates a
win-win relationship. Where this commonality does not exist, what you often get
is a win-lose situation, where the party with inadequate information or power
suffers.”
The
eighty-page book broken into seven chapters, critically reviews the weaknesses
in the body of Christ and the strength it takes to conquer such obstacles by
building on the foundation that Christ has laid.
He also
examines forces out to destroy Ministers of God and how pastors can take heed
in order to ensure they remain standing.
“Good
Ministers of the Gospel are at risk from five different, but close relationship
quarters…”
“Beware of
Pastors… Pastors Beware!” has been heralded by numerous pundits as a
breakthrough in Christian literature, praising the author’s brutal honesty and
the impact it will have on most young people and non-Christians. Toni Kan, Best
selling author of Nights of the Creaking Bed says, “the book is stunningly simple and very well
written, it’s imperative for anyone seeking to sharpen their discerning ability”.
The book is
not only intended for pastors and Christians but also for the unsuspecting non
– believer.
