Controversial Ghanaian pastor, Cyril George Carstensen Lutterodt popularly known as Counselor Lutterodt has admonished Christians to ensure that they provide for their pastors in these times of global pandemic.
According to the pastor, it is biblical for Christians to provide for men of God instead of insulting them and questioning what pastors use church offerings and tithes for.
“It is not by force but I am reminding you of what your duty is, have you given anything to the man of God who intercedes on your behalf?” he shared in a Good Friday message posted on his YouTube channel.
While admonishing individuals criticizing pastors and churches for not providing food and other relief items for their members during the Coronavirus period, George Luterrodt said the duty of men of God is not to feed Christians with bread and butter but with the word of God.
“Are you taking care of the servant of God? You are only insulting, we’ll see true pastors, we are competing, how many people has he fed? The duty of a man of God is not to feed you with bread and water and wine.” He added.
He acknowledged some pastors who have gone out of their way to donate relief items to the needy and their church members but called on Christians to ensure that they provide food, water and relief items for their spiritual leaders during this pandemic as well as within the Easter period.
Since the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, many Ghanaians have criticised pastors and churches in the country for not doing enough to alleviate the plight of the needy and vulnerable who have been worse affected.
According to these critics, the pastors who take offerings and tithes should do more by donating food and relief items to their church and the needy.

Romans 8:34 and Hebrew 7:25, states clearly that Jesus is at the right hand of God pleading for us. Pastors are not needed at all to intercede or plead for humans but Jesus. That is why as Christians we pray through Jesus to God. In this times pastors are supposed to work to care for themselves. The Apostle Paul who traveled the length and breath of the known world at the time, worked as a tent maker to care for himself (read Acts 18:3 and Acts 20:34. Lazy Pastors in Ghana have deceived the masses. All pastors in Ghana do is to scare their followers with fake prophesies and extort money from them in order to pray for if these pastors do not repent from their evil ways surely God will call them to account. To all others be accountable to yourselves. Read the bible daily and pray to God through Jesus to grant you understanding and he will generously do so. Stop listening to fake pastors who prophesy lies. They will fleece you to death.
It isn't a shame, the congregant is an orphan, but as for the Pastors they were called by God, so He takes care of them.
