‘It is your responsibility to take care of your pastor; else you will suffer’ – Rev Moses Kofi Gyesi

Rev Moses Kofi Gyesi of the New Life Assemblies of God Church, Tema Newtown, has stressed the responsibility of church members to provide financial and material support for their pastors.

The pastor has warned that neglecting such a responsibility could have consequences for the congregation.

Speaking to his congregation in a sermon, Rev Gyesi argued that the responsibility of supporting church leaders should not be limited to the payment of tithes and offerings.

According to him, church members must recognise that taking care of their pastors is an important responsibility established by God.

“Because that is how God has made it. You sit there and say, we pay tithes and offerings, so that is what we will use to take care of him. How much are the tithes and offerings?” he questioned.

He further maintained that members should support their pastors regardless of whether they personally require their spiritual or pastoral assistance.

“Some of you don’t need help from me personally and it doesn’t matter; still, you are to take care of me,” he stated.

Emphasising his position, Rev Gyesi warned that congregations that fail to support their pastors could ultimately bear the consequences.

“If you don’t take care of your pastor, you’re the one who’s going to suffer. It is your responsibility to take care of them. That is how God has arranged it,” he said.

“If you don’t take care of your pastor, you’re the one who’s going to suffer. It is your responsibility to care of them—That is how God has arranged it”
