(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. What Kind Of Pastor Are You?
1. What Kind Of Pastor Are You?
a) There are twelve kinds of Pastors that are visible in the Church in these last days. From the descriptions of twelve kinds of pastors, you may realize that ONLY ONE can really lead the Church to true and sustainable growth. This is the reason why majority of our Churches are sick, stagnant, crisis–ridden and are dying today because they are being pastored by the wrong kind of pastors.
b) Here is one of the twelve descriptions of the twelve Pastors. Where are you? You can repent and change today to be a growing Pastor in all ramifications so as to lead the Church into the future. May your labour be not in vain!
2. Ministry Pastors
a) Description:
i) These are ministry-focused Pastors. They are committed to and consumed by the work of the ministry. In their order of priorities, ministry is number one and everything else takes secondary position. These Pastors neglect their families, children and personal lives in the name of doing ministry. Their children are wayward, bitter, uncatered for, angry and unconverted. Their wives are miserable, frustrated, neglected; feel cheated and lonely.

b) Basic Motives:
i) To fulfill their ministry irrespective of anything or anybody. Their desire is to prove themselves and the readiness to neglect everything for the ministry. They move from crusade to revivals, from prayer mountains to special seminars. They are too spiritual to play, pray, enjoy and relax with their wives, children and family, because sinners are perishing. They are always in a hurry.

c) Demerits:
i) They experience divorce, have wayward children, unsettled homes and unfulfilled ministry. Their wives become demonized or engage in extra–marital affairs due to frequent absence and lack of care. Pastors that give ministry the number one priority above their God, home and personal development will always experience crisis, breakaway and being forsaken by the Lord. Lack of peace, progress and tranquility, both in the Church and personal lives will always be the outcome of the mistake of putting ministry before God and your family. Ministry Pastors will always experience burn out and frustration in ministry.

d) Way Out:
i) Return back to the Lord. Make your God and family as number one and two, and ministry as number three.
The End ...
i) Return back to the Lord. Make your God and family as number one and two, and ministry as number three.
