Good day my country people, I observed something today which I felt I should share in the forum.
Well it's about a pastor who comes to me and some friends of mine to know little about trading, which my friends and I tried our best to give him the knowledge he can to start trading. But funny enough he's also interested in sports betting too , he's congregation has quite the number but he stills struggle financially, so he's ready to start doing anything legitimate for money.
But the thing is, is it really acceptable for a man of God as they do call themselves to indulge in things like this?
Pastors and spiritual leaders of a congregation are entrusted with a sacred calling. Their primary responsibility is to guide teach and nurture Thier flock and not to engage in secular pursuit like trading and gambling.
Please what's your take on this?
It is not wrong for pastor to look for a means of earning a living, but how hs goes about it is what matters a lot. Since you said that the pastor is having some financial challenges, gambling and trading is not the way out from financial challenges because they will worsen your condition the more. The reason why I said this is because gambling is done for fun, and losing is more often in gambling than winning. Which means that, he would lose out the little that he has to the casino. Trading is a not a way out, because it is very complex and not a get rich quick scheme, but a place to throw your money into before you can be a professional trader, if possible. The pastor chose the wrong ways to work for a living. Advice him and tell him more about the consequences of his involvement.
