It doesn't...... their Rewards is the people that they inspire to come to God.and also thier reward will be in heaven. when a preacher or pastor gets paid, it's just the church's way of thanking him. so they give him/her money for personal or church uses
hope this helps

its does not delibrately say that. It is made through accusations whether this is false or not, prophets have not been able to discern it, he said he will provide for the preacher, for ex. giving them food house and prosperity. But no in the bible it is not directly staten, it depends on what religion.....

Preachers/pastors do a job. The Bible says "Let a man be paid his worth". There are many corrupt religious leaders out there who take advantage of their congregations and are greedy. They take money that belongs to the church and its ministries. Those people will ultimately pay the price for their greed. However, there are many other pastors/preachers who provide a genuine service. They hold no other jobs. They go to the hospital when someone is sick, counsel people who are having troubles, they are active in ministries such as feeding the poor, orphanages, etc. And most have families of their own. They need to be paid as well. Since they work for the church, that is where they are paid from. A truly open and honest pastor will have a SET salary that is not based on how much the church receives in tithes, but it set by a board of directors or leaders in the church. He/she should not deal with the money themselves, but receive a paycheck on a regular basis like the rest of the working world. And I'm sorry, but it is wrong that most religions don't believe in paying their leaders. How else should they survive? Buy food? Pay rent? Only large denominations like the Catholic church or Anglicans provide homes for their pastors. Most pastors must provide for their own care and families. So it might seem wrong to "pay" your pastor, but his JOB is pastoring. Its only wrong if that paycheck turns into something more, something greedier. I'm sure you've seen those people and are smart enough to know who they are and when to avoid them.
I believe it can be found in Lamentations in the Old Testament. I'm sorry I can't remember the chapter. I'll check. But Lamentations is an interesting book - its all about work and discipline and being a faithful worker.

It is against most religons for Preachers to get paid.
If they were getting paid it would no longer be serving God but a religon.
Most Pastors or Preachers live in a House owned by the Churh and are given allowances.
