OPEN LETTER TO MINISTERS OF GOD BY RV DR PAUL UDEMBA

Dear Minister of God,

 

GOING WITH YOUR WIFE TO EVERY ASSIGNMENTS DOES NOT MEAN YOU ARE DOING THE RIGHT THING (it is not scriptural).

ALL THE TWELVE DISCIPLES OF JESUS CHRIST WERE MARRIED. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THE NAMES OF THEIR WIVES, THE ASSIGNMENTS WHERE THEY WERE WITH THEM AND THE OCCASION THEY HAD TO PUT THEIR WIVES FORWARD IN THEIR MISSIONARY WORK. 

 

PAUL THE APOSTLE WAS NOT MARRIED. YET HE WROTE MOST OF THE NEW TESTAMENT AND WORKED MORE THAN THE OTHER APOSTLES WHO WERE MARRIED. GOD CALLED US TO SERVE HIM AND WIN SOULS. NOT TO SHOW CASE OUR WIVES, THEREBY EXPOSING THEM TO UNNECESSARY ATTACKS.

 

WE DO NOT HAVE THE SAME ASSIGNMENTS OR FIGHT THE SAME BATTLES. IF YOUR ASIGNMENT ALLOWS YOU TO TRAVEL AROUND WITH YOUR WIFE, NO PROBLEM. SOME OF YOU HAVE REPLACED THE HOLY SPIRIT IN YOUR LIVES WITH YOUR WIVES. I PITY YOU ALL. 

 

 STOP CAUSING PROBLEMS FOR OTHER MINISTERS WHO DO NOT TRAVEL TO THEIR PLACE OF ASSIGNMENT WITH THEIR WIVES AND STOP USING YOU AS EXAMPLE. YOU CAN HAVE YOUR WIFE WITH YOU AS YOU PREACH IS YOUR CHOICE. HOWEVER, IT IS NOT COMPULSORY.

 

REMEMBER, WHAT WORKS FOR YOU MAY NOT WORK FOR ANOTHER. WE ARE NOT ALL CALLED THE SAME WAY. OUR TESTIMONIES ARE NOT THE SAME AND OUR ENCOUNTERS ARE DIFFERENT. WHEN I WAS CALLED, I WAS GIVEN THE BIBLE, MANTLE AND A LINE OF ASSIGNMENTS TO ACCOMPLISH HERE ON EARTH. IF IS THE SAME WITH YOU, THEN STAY FOCUSED ON THE FINISHED WORK OF JESUS CHRIST AND STOP CAUSING CONFUSION.

 

YOU ARE NOT A YARD STICK FOR ANY MINISTER TO FOLLOW. WE ALL HAVE SAME COMMANDER IN CHIEF, WHICH IS JESUS CHRIST. HE IS OUR STANDARD. HE HAS GIVEN US ONE ASSIGNMENT, WHICH IS SOUL WINNING FOR GOD’S KINGDOM. WE CAN USE DIFFERENT INSTRUCTIONS AND STRATEGIES, BECAUSE THE FIVE FOLD MINISTRY EXISTS. REMEMBER, YOUR TRAINING IS DIFFERENT FROM MINE. GOD KNOWS MY PAINS, AND CAPABILITIES. THE SACRIFICE I AM WILLING TO MAKE FOR THE KINGDOM IS DIFFERENT FROM YOURS.

 “Do not deprive each other of sexual relations, unless you both agree to refrain from sexual intimacy for a limited time so you can give yourselves more completely to prayer. Afterward, you should come together again so that Satan will not be able to tempt you because of your lack of self-control. I say this as a concession, not as a command,” 1 Corinthians 7:5-6.

If you are unable to control yourself does not mean every minister is the same. A minister once told me that he could not leave his wife and travel for missions to anywhere he will have to stay for more than two weeks. If as a minister you still have such problems, it means you are still answerable to flesh. You need the help of God. You need deliverance because you are not yet born again. 

Romans 8:13 for if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. 

So focus on the Spirit and not the flesh. Your wife has her life to live. She can work for God by helping you in the ministry. Prayer is very important to keep you afloat. If God has called her to work for Him, let her work for God and stop carrying her everywhere you go to because you do not want her to answer the call.

SO STOP CRITICIZING OTHER MINISTERS BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY YOU WE ARE ALL GOING TO STAND AND GIVE ACCOUNT BEFORE THE MASTER JESUS CHRIST. I DO NOT WANT TO BE IN YOUR SHOES. AS A MINISTER, YOU ARE EXPECTED TO TEACH THE SCRIPTURES CORRECTLY. 2 Timothy 2:15 Study to show thyself approved unto God, a worker that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. FOR I STRIVE TO FINISH WELL. SO IF YOU CANNOT CONTROL YOURSELF WHILE YOU ARE AWAY FROM HOME THAT IS UNFORTUNATE.
