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?
With gambling I cannot give a particular judgment because even in the circular world where political leaders are been picked they make sure you aren't involved in such habits as it endangers the entrustment of public funds with you as a leader but then there are still some personal preferences around it but as it has to do with trading, I don't there's anything wrong with it, provided he's skilled enough and has the wright knowledge needed to trade, he can make good profits off the market which will in turn be used to further his ministries without having to put the burden on his congregation.
