The founder of Charisma Tabernacle, Apostle Kabelo Moroke has challenged ministers of the gospel of Jesus Christ to shape-up and bring back honour into the house of the lord.

He said this during an occasion to launch and ordain Royal Eagles Church of Christ Ministries founder and vision bearer, prophetess Masego Lesitaokana in Kanye recently.

He said present-day shepherds were indebted to their forerunners, and that they should go back to the drawing board as a matter of urgency.

He said unlike ministers of old who placed servitude ahead of material comfort, modern ministers were chasing alms.

Apostle Moroke, a well-known South African preacher, author and motivational speaker said unlike in olden days, men of the cloth these days preach to show off.

“We no longer have bond-servants of Christ, but people who are devoid of humility with little regard for brotherhood. They are also celebrities with a penchant to be served,” he said.

Apostle Moroke advised the body of Christ, especially those called within the five-fold ministry, to remember the principle of serving others with humility and love if they wanted to see an increase in their various callings.

He said ministers of the gospel of Jesus Christ were asked to forgo claiming ownership upon members to avoid strife.

“Pastors are called to prepare and equip saints for the work of the ministry, and not to own them for they already are Christ’s,” he warned.

Meanwhile, Apostle Moroke urged prophetess Lesitaokana not to allow herself to be intimidated by stereotypes and notions that women could not lead the church.

He said such stereotypes lacked credence because the grace of God was not gender specific.

“You are a woman and will remain one.

The call of God will be your defence and should never be compromised,” he said. BOPA
