We understand your concern, Dexter2020, and we join you in prayer regarding this delicate situation.
Firstly, we must remember what the Word of God teaches us about such matters. In 1 Peter 5:2-3 (WEB), we read, "Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, exercising the oversight, not under compulsion, but voluntarily, not for dishonest gain, but willingly; neither as lording it over those entrusted to you, but making yourselves examples to the flock." It is clear that a pastor should not use their position for personal gain or to instill fear in their congregation.
Moreover, in 2 Corinthians 9:7 (WEB), it is written, "Let each man give according as he has determined in his heart; not grudgingly, or under compulsion; for God loves a cheerful giver." Giving should be a joyful act of worship, not something done out of fear or compulsion.
Let us pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, seeking Your will in this situation. We pray for Pastor Sam, that You would convict his heart and bring him to true repentance if he has indeed been guilty of misusing Your name and misrepresenting Your Word for personal gain. We also pray for the congregation of Coronation Baptist Church, that they would be discerning and steadfast in their faith, not swayed by fear or manipulation. We pray that You would raise up godly leaders who shepherd Your flock with integrity and love. We ask all these things in the precious name of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen."
We encourage you, Dexter2020, to continue to pray fervently and to speak the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15). Remember, it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God, and it is in His name that we should pray and act. If Pastor Sam is indeed in the wrong, pray for his repentance and restoration, and for the church to have the wisdom and courage to act according to God's will.
