Rev. Teddy Parker, a Macon, Georgia pastor killed himself a few days after telling his congregation at his church that God was not hearing him and no longer felt a connection to God.
"I try to pray but I don’t feel like God is hearing me,” Parker said to his congregation “I try to serve but I don’t feel like God is using me. And
there are times in your life when God purposely withdraws from you, he
doesn’t withdraw for the sake of leaving you but he withdraws so you can
grow and mature.”
Rev. Parker, a father of two, shot himself in the head with his own gun following Sunday service at
Bible Mount Zion Baptist Church while his family and congregation were still at his church waiting for him for the next service..
"When he didn’t show up they went looking for him,” a church member, Russell Rowland, told the Post.
“I’m very surprised because he didn’t preach that. He preached totally
against it. It’s something that the congregation don’t really
understand.”.

Na wa o..Lord v mercy..linlin post my comment o..1st to comment??
That's serious...it doesn't sound right too
Hmmmmmmm!
Some news are quite unheard of
That's the problem of living life based on feelings. The bible says we should walk by faith and not by sight (or physical impulses). There's no way to "feel" that God is hearing you, or "feel" used by God, or any such nonsense. If the dolt had read his bible, he would have known that God hears him whenever he prays, whether he feels like it or not.
Devil dey try sha. Why on earth will a preacher want to take his life?
This life sha....
Nonsense he has lost it all

#lordhavemercy
I will never worship in man made church. Man made church.... Forever a catholic for life. So sad. He who takes life that he cannot create will certainly hv God to answer to....
What a world, Chidinma sex tape leaked RIP
Had to Goggle the story to be sure..Its 110% True..Well he gets to see God and explain His Self IF he actually committed suicide cos I aint jumping into conclusions..But then again this World is getting Sicker..#DIZZY
He knows what he did to cause his problems...

Gbam! Y must he kill himself? Hmm dis oyinbo people self. On my to......
He's lost it in that area and the devil took advantage of it.... The bible said "I will be you even to the end of the world" you don't have to feel anything to believe it friends.
I'm speechless
He has a lot of questions to answer God when he faces him. It's really sad the extent at which people take things.
Mayb he's drunk. Pls update us abt chindima sex tape
That silent period can b frustrating buh he shoulda held on jst a lil longer
Omg! What is this world turning to.he should have cried and call on God to have mercy on him and dwell in him.our God is a merciful God.this is so sad.the worst thing someone can do is to take his or her life.
Things dey happen o. Una sure say na e clear eye?

This is manipulation.
very much unlike a Pastor!

Y na
What rubbish!!! God is not hearing Ÿ̲̣̣̣̥ø̲̣̣̥u̶̲̥̅̊ again, well he go αη∂ meet God 2 ask why????? Lol!.....
~ALATISHE say so~
end time stufs, first to comment shaa
It becomes a thing of worry when the people you look up to for strength and assurance prove to just be human like you.
this is very much unlike a Pastor!!!
Oyibo don wise up...most murderers now hide under suicide. They kill people and make it look like those people commited suicide
this is very much unlike a Pastor!!!
this is very much unlike a Pastor!!!
He should have checked himself to know why God was not hearing him.suicide is out of it.
Go nd look 4 him ursef nah
Man made church??? I bet u are against pastors living well. I know who you are. Mr. A, Your sabi sabi and pride will be your downfall.
Straight to Hell
I don't believe he killed him self, it could b a setup
Wot? Hmmmm...datsnot d action he should hav taken..wait on d Lord let his will not yours be done!
He should have tried Islam before calling it quit. #posthisLinda
What a life.
I amm currently depressed. It's easier to judge people when you are ok. DEPRESSION is a deadly disease. I feel like ending it now, and I am not joking. Sometimes it is hard to hold on to HOPE. I believe that the best is yet to come, but WHEN? I need help.
OMG!unbelievable!!
For me I dnt think he killed himself bcos he actually felt dat d connection btw God and him is somehow and he is still d same person dat said if dat kind of think happen it doesn't mean God had left you bt want to you to grow. He was killed. Soon we will soon hear anoda story dat afta he was killed d gun was placed in his hand so his finger print will reflect on d gun. And is some1 dat is closed to him will actually do dat bcos his gun was used.
What a pity, God is faithful and just
RIDICULOUS!!!!!!

O God wat kin of life is dis how can a pastor do such ting pls hav mercy my comment
SOoº° who made catholic?.....Mary?
U're right. May God have mercy
I strngly bliv dis pastor ws overtaken by demons.else hw can u xplain dis bizzare act by a man who knws d consequences of suicide
In a situation where a man of God is killing himself, wht will an ordinary worshiper do? Lord hv mercy.
Pls the money u use 2 get data, use instead 2 get an education, OR use ur online time wisely. Browse educational websites, you will be surprised what google has 2 offer.
Sucide doesn't happen only in America oo it's in our own very backyard. Wat u can take another person isnt strong enof to take. We see people.smiling everyday but deep down we don't knw wat der goin tru. Instead of insulting or castigating people we should learn to support each other. If u notice some1 withdrawing or being distant try to give a shoulder to cry on. E nor easy ESP in 9ja, but we only have God and ourselves.
Sad!!!
But interesting!!!!
Typical story of many a pastor!!
They preach what they don't do...
They preach against adultery, suicide, murder, thievery, homosexuality, etc....
But soon after service, they retire home and murder their children like Marvin Gaye's father; fuck other people's wives like T. B. Joshua and Biodun Fatoyinbo; rob their congregation dry like many of our bishops and pastors; sodomize young and old men like Tom Haggard, Eddy Long, Catholic priests, etc; and commit suicide like Teddy Parker...
They preach God answers all prayers only if you learn not to deny him your tithes and offerings...
But among them, the story of an aloof God is most exemplified...
Their wives are terminally childless; their children irredeemable drug addicts; their lives, paragon of frustration, etc...
The lives of pastors....a cocktail of ironies!!!!!!
U must nt comment nah,its rot nt route *thankmelater*
Who says its not the end time? this is one of the end time wonders. What will he tell Oluwa when he gets to heaven? pastor please say hello to my grand pa he will roja u one of his cars in hell..... lolz
Suicide?????. No one is permitted to take his own life for whatever reason. The law doesn't and God obviously doesn't. I hope he finds rest.
Route to where na? Its rot. U guy can grammatically kill somebody oh. Thank me now.
Omg,can sm1 pls tell me it wasn't true...am sure d man will a pracher in hell...lobatan
God have mercy on us all! Signs of end time we have 2 be very watchful!!!
Wonders shall never end... Free ticket to hell.all he had 2 do was to,still believe in God.
He was killed,its not possible for a man of God to commit suicide just like that ,they should investigate his death *Gracy*
Wetin we no go hear for this world
more to it watchout
Misconception. the pastor really missed it.this is sad news
Conspiracy theories at work
You are totally right. To be carnally minded or to be ruled by physically minded is death, to be spiritually minded is life and peace. We live by faith not by our feelings.
Wat if its murder and not suicide?????
I suspect murder by someone else. More investigations should be carried out
facethefact....he is not oyibo, he is black like all of ya...only lives in a civilized world whr everytn is at its limits...ppl get negatively overwhelmed. Whn the devil takes ovr somtn u will only need the grace of God to see u tru and u need that grace evry single minute of the day.
So surprising omg. Cant believe this. Rip mog.
*rot. By me a pillow later
Oga what is the diffrent wit catholic church... Is it not man dat make it,or why did gay started from?.
Amen to that... Please take note members of pentecostal, charismatic churches
Strange world,strange things happen. SHM
'When you believe in things you don't understand then you suffer' (Stevie Wonder - Superstition). All religion is superstition.
What was he even doing wit a gun in d first place?
Hope he will go to heaven after doing dis and not hell. Also hope God answers his prayers by force by fire in his grave#continuoshiss#
That's what happens when u give the devil 2 seconds of ur 'hear time', d best thing is not to give him room at all.
Hope thr is private jet on ground for us to fly in...Dwindling life it is..
Me too!
End time tinz!
Straight to hell! After all dis years of serving God ! Smh
Yeah! U r right on point...we r pple of faith.
Nawaoo
@Nora,so #HelpingAlhajaRemovePant has saved ur life countless times *gives u a standing ovation n a headbutt
Anonymous 4:30, God bless you for that question.
U need to get wisdom.....knowledge n understanding seriously.......uv actually not understood wot christainity is about. It appears u r still ignorant
For God sake why, he should have just fasted and pray more. http://bit.ly/1bBcrXm
He felt a void only Islam can fill.
Chai so sad. Must he route in hell he should road in hell
Nope. Pele
Wrong!!!! Take note "born again" Christians!
Mr Judge, where do u think u will go. It's always good not to judge especially when it has something to do with the spirit of the dead. Is hell real?
My advice is to take life a minute after the other. Dnt worry abt the next hour, it compounds the issue. Constantly confess to yourself that : i am strong, i am smart, i am happy, i have Joy and things can only get better, this shall pass and it shall make me a better, stronger person.
Try not to be alone most of d time, surround urself with pple that make u happen, when u are alone, play music, good songs, that u can dance tooo.... see your spiritual leader for counseling and ALWAYS bind the spirit of depression in Jesus name...that is if u are born-again.....God will deliver u from its claws....it is well with u IJN
Ion think he killed himself, In my opinion He was assasinated!#doctorbobby
Cant wait for dis strike 2 b called off...
What! So there α̲̅Ʀε̲ pple that don't believe in hell! I pity Ūя̲̅ life.
LMAO
Exactly my thought. God bless you for that understanding.
Maybe this guy didn't take his life, maybe he was shut in the head by an evil member of the church or competitor
Nothing like hell fire in d bible o
Ah! Oma se o
IF NA NAIJA PASTOR ATI TI ESE LE BO LOWO KAN!
