She said, “It is not well! Cheating is a violation that is so deep and a reflection of a deep disconnect with where you should be spiritually
“When you cheat and you are in a moral position, you must step away from the Ministry! You have to! And also it’s so important to hold yourself accountable and confess. When something is in the dark let it come to the light so that there is healing!
*Yes he did a horrible thing, and now he has made steps to restore and heal. You can’t be cheating and still be ministering even if you have repented.
“Leave the ministry and go and ask yourself why you were cheating. Find the foundation of your relationship with God before you lead others.”
