Reading the epistles without commitment in a local church is synonymous with reading about a country you don’t live in . Same with the pastoral epistles,without leadership roles is similar to driving “a car “without a car.Audience context is key .

Bishop Oyedepo to pastor Isaac Oyedepo (his son)-“My son, His times are not in your hands, your times are in His hands. Don’t be part of maligning or bringing down any ministry”. All young men should take note

One day many a believer will find out that the reason for learning the scriptures isn’t for personal benefits but rather to know and worship God. Follow His plan and purpose and pursuit.Trying to always apply scriptures to meet Needs is misleading.

If your pastor isn't afraid to correct you, despite how gifted and/or wealthy you are, you are under solid leadership! A true shepherd will value your soul over your contribution to their church /ministry.
Cherish them because those leaders are rare

I am convinced the local churches should focus more on training believers to be sound in doctrine and know how to flow In the gifts of the Spirit. It’s very urgent and shouldn’t be just another option on the table

We have not received this world's spirit; instead, we have received the Spirit sent by God, so that we may know all that God has given us. (1 Corinthians 2:12). A fact about what God does in the earth today

I'm Not a Sheep Thief (4)
I don't mean I practiced this kind of ministerial courtesy just one time. I've followed that practice over the years in my field ministry because I want to be ethical in all my dealings in the ministry.
I've seen some ministers hold a meeting one week in a church and go almost across the street and start another meeting for someone else! And it created confusion and division in a city and strife between pastors.
I've also seen associate pastors divide a church over some issue and then take half of the congregation two or three blocks away and start another church! That's unethical. Ministers of the gospel shouldn't divide sheepfolds.
That's the reason even some folks in the world don't believe in ministers and have lost faith in the church. Some ministers have created much havoc and confusion, dividing churches and spiritually killing little lambs. If associate pastors or church members can't go along with the way a church is run, then they should leave the church. But they don't need to create division in doing so.
Some ministers who divide churches, say, "The Lord told me. . ," Don't lay that off on the Lord! He's not that way. Some people try to get out of the wrong things they do by using the excuse, "The Lord told me to do it." The Lord never told anyone to be a sheep thief or to divide a church.

I'm Not a Sheep Thief (Conclusion)
I've been in the ministry more than fifty years. I've watched preachers — pastors, evangelists, teachers — ministers of the gospel, climb up over the ministry and reputation of others trying to get to the top in Christian circles.
I've had people try to climb up spiritually by using me and my name too. Doing that is nothing short of a lie. People who do that will eventually fail because they are not building on the Word; they are basing their ministries and reputations on a lie. And they are not being ethical.
Let's just endeavor to prepare ourselves so we can fulfill God's purpose for each of our lives. First, let's prepare our hearts in the Word and by waiting before God in prayer. The Bible promises that those who seek the Lord with all their heart shall find Him. By consecrating and dedicating ourselves for the Master, He can use us to be a blessing to the Body of Christ and to the world.
(Excerpts from He Gave Gifts Unto Men By Kenneth E. Hagin

I'm Not a Sheep Thief (3)
This pastor had that man's best interests at heart. And, thank God, God showed me how to help that man, and he and his wife became a real blessing to the church. But the point I'm trying to make is that ministers need to learn something about not only Christian ethics, but also about ministerial ethics.
Let me give you another example of ministerial ethics. After I went out in field ministry, over a seven-year period of time, I held five meetings for a certain pastor in a large city. In the course of time, another pastor asked me to come to the same city and hold a meeting for him. I hadn't been back to that first church in two years, and it was a large city. But I want to be ethical and walk in love in every situation, so I contacted Brother Braun, the pastor of the first church where I'd held the meetings. I wanted to prefer him and put him first and not cause a problem between pastors in a city.
I telephoned Brother Braun and said, "Brother Braun, I've preached for you a number of times over the years. Recently, another pastor in your city has asked me to hold a meeting for him. I feel led to go if it's all right with you."
Even if I had felt led to go to this other church, if this pastor had said, "Don't go," I wouldn't have gone. I'm not going to create division and strife in a city among pastors. But I knew this pastor was a man of God, and he encouraged me to go.
He said, "Brother Hagin, that pastor is a fine man of God. If you feel led to go, go right ahead. We'll come over and help you."
Who told me to practice that kind of ministerial courtesy? The Holy Spirit dwelling on the inside and the Word of God. The Bible says we are to be doers of the Word and prefer our brother before ourselves.
You see, I had gone to that first church a number of times over a seven-year period. Probably as many as half of his members were saved in the revivals I held for him. If I had come to that city to preach in another church, half of his congregation may have come to hear me. That might have caused problems, or he might have lost some of his people because of it.
This was a large city, and these churches were far enough away from each other that it would have been all right. But on the other hand, we ought to have respect for fellow ministers and fellow members of the Body of Christ and not just run roughshod over one another.
