Preacher vs. Gangster

What's the difference between a preacher and a gangster?  Nothing...they a both notorious hustlers all about the dollar bill and both of them will get their paper at all cost.  I think the only slight difference would be is that gangsters hustle the street while preachers hustle the word of God and the people of God.  I have never in my life seen preachers capitalize off of their relationship with Jesus Christ like they do now.  And I now some may consider me to be a hater.  But let's be clear, I see absolutely nothing wrong with the preacher or preacherett prospering.  I just have a problem with them rising to the top while most of the congregants stay at rock bottom.

What is the cause of this epidemic?  At what point did we lose sight on what church was really about?  The people of God must understand that you do not have to be apart of a corrupt and broken system.  If you are like me and you have many questions about churches today's structure please believe that you have every right to ask questions.  And If you don't get the answers you need then you have every right to change the structure.

I don't know why volunteers think that they have to stay somewhere to be mistreated, abused, and manipulated in order to stay save and in the good graces of God.  Most people stay in a corrupt and broken system because fear has gainfully been instilled into them.
What I mean by that is preachers these days spend more time bullying people and leading them to feel as if following them and them only is their only road to destiny ville.  And if they stray, they will either wind up dead or the will "miss the destiny" and for the record none of these thing are true.  If you leave your church you will not die and if you leave the church you will not miss your destiny.
For most of us we are marketplace prophets called outside the four walls to minister to the people that won't step foot into the church.  But church leaders do not care about this because if you are called to the streets then not only does that shorten church attendance but it may as shorten their offerings as well.

So they don't care about the ministry brewing inside you, they only care if it benefits them.  And they love to tell people that they helped you when they finally do and then they take some of the credit for your hard work and success.  When Jesus healed a man in the bible he told him to tell no-one but the man went and told everybody not Jesus.  There was also a story about Abraham where a King was trying to help him and he told him No because he did not want him going around telling people that he had helped him.  Abraham knew the man's character and he declined his offer.
People of God we must not continue to allow Pharaoh to keep us in bondage.  Pharaoh used slaves to build his kingdom, slave owners used slaves to build their fortune by forcing them to do free labour.  Even though the church uses volunteers to build the pastors empire by way of free labour, giving, and by also using mental and emotional bandage, yet and still nobody is forcing you to do so.  You have every right to be happy in ministry, you have a right to be fulfilled by doing the work of the Lord and just like your preacher you have every right to do what's in your heart to do while being productive and prosperous at the same time!
