SHALLOW PASTORS
(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. Shallow Pastors
Zephaniah 3:4
4 Her prophets are insolent, treacherous people;
Her priests have polluted the sanctuary,
They have done violence to the law.
a) Description:
i) These are proud, garrulous, self-centered and self-willed Pastors. They are islands; too busy to attend conferences or seminars or listen to anybody’s tape. They believe that everyone should learn from them but they cannot learn from others. Their anointing has grown to the extent that they don’t need to read the Bible everyday, have time of prayer and fast unto the Lord.

b) Basic Motives:
i) Their motive is to succeed in ministry financially, materially and socially. They therefore spend Church money to buy expensive shoes, clothing, cars and properties. They have nothing to really give to people spiritually. They thrive on stories, noise, demonstrations, pushing people and mimicked styles and prophecies. Their sermon dwell on their worth, wealth and fame.

c) Demerits:
i) People are fed half truths, lies, motivational talks. They are always on the move, have nothing really to share and give to the people. The people are therefore largely unsaved, canal, sinful, ungodly and religious. They therefore move away to where the grass is green and the water is still. Shallow Pastors will always lose serious Christians to other Churches.

d) Way Out:
i) Return to the Lord, load yourself and prepare to feed people with balanced diet of the Word.
The End ...
i) Return to the Lord, load yourself and prepare to feed people with balanced diet of the Word.
