Priesthood Obligation "Marry A Virgin"-Rev.Tinashe Mahere

Rev. Tinashe Mahere that addresses the sanctity of the ministry and the high standards required for spiritual leadership within the "Message." Here are the key takeaways: The Sin of Jeroboam: Rev. Mahere explains that the "sin of Jeroboam" was not just idolatry, but the lowering of spiritual standards to accommodate men who were not qualified to be priests. He warns that modern ministers who compromise on biblical requirements to maintain large numbers are operating in this same spirit. Qualifications of a Priest: He emphasizes that a man has no right to stand behind the sacred pulpit unless he has had a genuine encounter with God, possesses the Holy Ghost, and lives in accordance with the Word. Marriage and the Priesthood: A central point of the sermon is the "Priesthood Obligation" regarding marriage. Rev. Mahere asserts that a minister must marry a "virgin" (someone undefiled) as taught by Brother Branham, and that those who have not married correctly should step down from their positions. The Importance of the Local Church: He rebukes the idea that one can be a Christian solely by watching livestreams or listening to tapes at home. He cites the biblical command to not neglect the gathering of the saints and urges believers to find and support a local "home church." The Fivefold Ministry: Rev. Mahere argues that spiritual perfection and the unity of faith only come through the fivefold ministry (apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers). He explains that faith comes by hearing a preacher who is truly "anointed and appointed" by God. Discerning the Real from the Fake: Using the analogy of currency, he notes that "fake" ministers can only exist because there is a "genuine" ministry to compare them against. He positions himself as a "real preacher" called to stand on the message without cutting corners to spare feelings. In summary, the video is a call for the restoration of high biblical standards in the ministry and a reminder to believers of the necessity of active participation in a local, Word-based congregation.
