To the ordinary man, or a carnal man, pastors are servants of God. It will be a shock for d whole world one day to know that these men are anti-christs.

They have many tactics and strategy of making ppl beliv they serve the living God! But ironically they serve d devil. The following are their stretegies:

1. Hellfire: their most viable weapon is using hellfire as a bait. They lay more emphasis in d pain of hellfire than the love of God. They preach repent to avoid going to hell, as if Christ came to preach hell. Truth is there is no such thing as a concious eternal torment in hell, in death there is no pain or sorow, joy or happiness. Christ preached d kingdom of God, not hellfire!

2. Fear: another strategy is using the fear of d unkwn to scare their audience. They present d devil as very powerful and gr8, even to d xtent of comparing d power of God wit d devil. They will now give u anointing oil and holywater to lay by ur bed @ night, to avoid being killed or oppressed by d devil. Fear is a natural tin, these men just xploit it in order to gain followers.

3. Philosophy: some of these pastors are Ph.d holders, while some are highly philosophical. In a typical councelling session, they will make u say ur problems 1st, then after pouring out ur heart, they will use intellectual philosophy and psychology to answer u back, mixing it wit a few twisted scriptures. Wit a thrilling response dat will captivate d unsuspecting victim, a new soul have been worn! In all dey will make u beliv dey were inspired, actually dey are not, if atall dey are, its frm d devil!

4. Prosperity: dis is anoda viable weapon! Everybody wnts to prosper, especially financially. All they do is tell u what u wnt to hear!

5. Mystifying everything: to these pastors, evrytin is mystery! If u av sex in d dream, dey will say u have spiritual spouse, fly dey will say u are a witch, sweem in d dream dey will say u are possessd by mermed spirit, evrytin is just mystry! Is it really so? Once u by der lies, u will be turned into a devoted member!

6. De-emphasizing morality and righteousness: nobody wnt 2 always hear he/she is a sinner! Diz men knws dat very well! Dat is y dey allow all sorts of indecent dressing in der churches, dey even engage in imorality wit some of der female members, some even involve in gay! Diz men use dis freestyle tactics of ''it doesn't mattter'' to lure members!

Politics: u can hardly separate diz men frm politics. Dey are either frnds of highly place politicians or dey are d actual players. In der sermons dey like telling der members of der dealings wit d governors, presidents, senators and honorables, by doing dis dey become very influential and powerful, making der members look up to dem as a demi god!

The lis can go on and on, indeed der are still christians on earth, but definitely not diz men dat prey on ppls ignorance and weaknesses!

Soon their foot soldiers will land to berate you. Brother, those men are undercover agents of the devil.One of them in Aba, was boasting on television how he killed a man who attempted to attack a member of his church by prayers. When the members cheered him, he boasted that he was not yet done with the killing. He went further to tell them he would kill the person preparing charms for the attacker and all else involved in the attack! I took aback in shock. Clearly many present day christians in Nigeria have totally lost it. They follow these men foolishly without questioning them.The bible said that the devil can disguise as an angel of light. At a point in the ministry of Christ, he got fed up with the hypocrisy of the pharisees and the Sadducees that he kept attacking them openly when he preached. Christ had to turn the table of money changers in the temple.He wasn't a docile law-abiding citizen. He was a meek radical who strongly believed in 'non-violent change'. He had the guts to challenge the opinion leaders at his time. But not so with these pastorpreneurs.
