One thing we need to address is that Pastors are not celebrities. You should have access to ypur pastors not kowtow at their appearance like they are gods. It should not be easier for Elumelu to see your pastor than it is for you.
In Moses' time, everyone had access to him. He was attending to everyone's need himself before his father in-law advised him to raised leaders from among them so the burden is shared. Anyone beyond them, they bring to Moses.

As for Jesus, he was always focused on the poor, suffering, nondescript and children. Even the rich had to find a way to get to him. Contrary to what paintings portray, Jesus was dressed like his disciples that was why the killers of Jesus could not identify him from his disciples. They asked Judas, how to identify Jesus and he said and I quote "The one I would kiss." That is why we say Jesus was betrayed by a kiss. Prior to that time, Jesus had escaped many attempts to capture him. Jesus also treated his followers as friends and that is also why it was difficult to tell who he was from them.
In any church today, you can tell the senior pastor from the other pastors by where he is seated, how he is dressed and how they relate with him. Many junior pastors live in fear of the senior pastors. Is it members that won't be afraid? There is this awe and fear I see in people when it comes to their pastors and it is embarrassing. People literally worship their pastors. LOL
That is because you put your pastors on pedestal, make them rich, don't hold them accountable or even question what they teach through the scripture. They are celebrities and gods of men. See less
