Nowadays there are a lot of stories about preachers going about doing a lot of things in secret. No matter what you hear or what you see, you shouldn't talk bad about a preacher, be found standing among groups that are talking bad about a preacher or taking the matter to the internet which is the worst of all.
I myself have sinned in this area a few times. I have talked badly about certain preachers and even posted a video online that didn't have me in it but certainly performed the purpose I wanted it to perform. Thankfully, it didn't ruin the preacher. I regret posting it now and even though I took the video off the web, apparently somebody downloaded it and uploaded it on his own profile.
I know now that no matter what, I shouldn't speak badly about a preacher. I didn't call them into ministry, God did. So what ever issues they may have is between them and God. I would not interfere.
I have decided that even if I believe a preacher is preaching lies it is not my responsibility to expose him. God did not give me the ministry of pointing out which preachers are real and which preachers are fake. God did not give anybody that ministry. Matter of fact, there is no such ministry.
If I see a preacher preaching falsehood the best I can do is pray for him. I won't spend more than one day praying from him though. If he is somebody I know, I can talk to him in secret. It must be a personal conversation or else I would have to leave it alone.
I won't feel guilty for all the people he is deceiving and say to myself that if I say something I might save them. The fact remains that anybody who reads their bible should know that when you come to Christ, you don't need a Pastor like a parasite needs a host. A Pastor isn't the link between you and God. You can speak to God yourself or by reading the bible. You are actually supposed to cross check whatever a Pastor says with what is in the bible.
It is not my responsibility to cross check what everyone in the world has heard from a Pastor for them. It is their responsibility to do it themselves.
And if that wasn't the case, there would still be no point in talking because I won't anyways be there for each person; I certainly can't go around the world monitoring what everybody hears so I have to let go of the whole thing. All I have to do is preach the truth myself and concentrate on what God called me to do.
I apologize to every Preacher who I've ever insulted in the past.
I've asked God to forgive me for it.
Talking ill of a Preacher is very very dangerous. It is written, "Touch not my anointed and do my prophet no harm" (1 Chronicles 16:22)
Even if you remember the story of David and Saul. David was afraid of killing Saul because of the anointing that was once on Saul that the rest of us are really not sure was still on him considering the fact that God had rejected Saul at that time and had made Samuel anoint David to be King.
Even the time someone lied that they killed Saul. David had him killed because the man used his mouth to say that he killed God's anointed.
I've decided to repent from speaking about other Preachers. It's not for me to say if another man's servant falleth or standeth.
Thanks & God bless.
Alfred Benjamin King.

If you’ve been touched by what you just read and you’ve never given your heart to Jesus before but now want to become a Christian, please say this prayer and mean it with all your heart.
“Oh Lord God, I come to you in the name of Jesus Christ. Your word says, ‘… whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved’ (Acts 2:21)
So now I ask Jesus to come into my heart to be the lord of my life. I receive eternal life into my spirit and according to Romans 10: 9, ‘That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shall be saved’ , Therefore I declare that I am saved; I am born – again; I am a child of God! I now have Christ dwelling in me, and greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world! (1 John 4:4). I now walk in the consciousness of my new life in Christ Jesus. Hallelujah!”
PRAYER FOR THE RETURNING BACK SLIDER (ONLY):
“Oh lord God, I ask for your mercy and forgiveness for turning my back on you. I come back to you today in total sincerity and like the parable of the prodigal son, I thank you for receiving me back with Joy and Gladness.
I confess that Jesus Christ is the lord of my life and God the father is my Daddy. Hallelujah!”
PRAYER TO RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT:
“Oh Father, I thank you now for making me born again. For making me your child.
I ask that you give me your Holy Spirit to live in me and with me. For your word says that you would freely give the Holy Spirit to all those who ask. I open my heart and receive, and I know by faith that you have given me your Holy Spirit. Thank you Father. In Jesus name. Amen.”
CONGRATULATIONS! YOU ARE NOW A CHILD OF GOD. WELCOME TO THE FAMILY OF GOD.
