"I hate being a Pastor's child. Everyone expects you to be perfect and fit into the perfect image they've created in their head for you. It sucks. I wish I was never one."
So I wrote something relating to pastors seeds/kids few days ago and this was one comment that got to me.
See people need to realise that not everything is automatic.
You grow into certain dealings.
Not everything is automatic!
Jesus the son of God had to grow.
Jesus had to increase.
Luke 2:40
And the CHILD grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.
Luke 2:52
And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.
If Jesus the son of God could grow , who are Pastor's kids not to grow?
The unnecessary pressure is more damaging in their early years.
Why shouldn't i play as a child?
I remember one woman that wanted to blackmail me as a child.
Anytime she saw me playing that year she'll be like "...and you're the Pastor's son".
5 year old me o.
Thank God I experienced ZERO pressure at home.
This is the reason why sadly, some pastors seeds live dual lives.
To please people on one hand and on the other hand to please themselves.
Serving God is meant to be enjoyed not faked.
Yes, I had to fast even at an early age.
I had to stay in church for long on Sundays and midweek service.
I enjoyed every bit of it because it wasn't geared to pleasing people.
I'm glad to be a seed of a pastor of blessed memory.
