Most Clergy and Pastors are Lazy Parasites

Most clergy are lazy parasites, who have never done an honest day’s work in their lives.  To be a disciple of Jesus Christ  is hard work.  It is not about sitting in a parsonage and thinking up some theory and thinking up ways of getting money out of people.  Dear friends, to be a disciple of Jesus Christ, means that you deny yourself, pick up your cross every day and you follow Jesus Christ, that is hard work.  If you follow people who themselves do not know anything about work.  If they are your leaders, if they are your coaches, where do you want to end up?  Jesus Himself was a Carpenter, He worked hard.  His disciples were normal hardworking men.  They were not parasites who sat around, they were working men.  A child of God is not a parasite.  A child of God is a person who works hard.  To be a child of God does not mean that you've got a vacation and that you are sitting around, lazy around all the time, thinking up nice things to tell other people to do, it means you deny yourself, you pick up your cross every day and you follow Jesus Christ.  And you go where He has called you.  The job He has called you in, you do that in a proper way, you work hard every day.  You are faithful in that which He has called you but there is no space for any lazy people in the Kingdom of God.  A child of God works hard and He earns enough for His own keep and also to supply to those who do not have. It is not the life of a parasite, lazy around in some parsonage, sitting around doing nothing and thinking up nice brilliant plans to extort money so that he can build his own little Kingdom.  The Kingdom of God is not clay and mortar and buildings.  It is the souls and the hearts of people. Following Jesus Christ is hard work, every day of your life, being a normal man, doing a normal job, while you living as a child of God amongst a wicked and crooked society and you let your light shine. You excel at that which others do, but you do it better because you are doing it for Jesus.  You are IN this world but you are not OFF this world.  If you want to be a life coach you need to know what it means to work hard.  You need to know what it means to earn your keep.  You cannot just sit and be an adviser because you have been reading a book.  You need to deny yourself, pick up your cross every day and follow Jesus and then you will know how to teach others to be responsible citizens of this world and of the Kingdom of God.  May Jesus bless you.
