2Tim. 4:3-5

For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.
4 They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.
5 But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry.
......................................

Many people don't have love for the truth (God's word) hence they end up believing the lies that is being speed.

2Thessalonians 2:11,12 :

For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie
12 and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in righteousness.

1tim. 6:9-12 :

Those who are determined to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction.
10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.
11 But you, O man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness.
12 Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.

Yeah!
That ^ explains a lot.

A closer look at them says a lot about who and and what they are even their sermons.

"Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work lawlessness." (Matthew 7:22-23).
.........................

From the above, it is obviouse that the use of Jesus name is no prove of acceptance by God.

Yes, they said the did all sort of powerful works using the name of Jesus Christ. Hence, they did mention Jesus name.

From that ^, we can deduce that the use of Jesus is not a mark of approval.

Entering anywhere bacause they call the name Jesus is a recipe' for desaster as Jesus put it:

"Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? " (Matthew 7:22).

All should Shine thire eyes unless they are a direct beneficiary from the loot.

When people refused to work as the bible say Christians should, they become a reproach to the name "Christian".

lots of people saying they are Christian pastors or christians are not into it for the love of God but for the hope that they will become rich via miraculous means, as such, to satisfy that intention, they get themself involve in all sort of extortions to be rich.

If people should keep simple eyes, it is then and only then that their minds will be clear to see and free themselves of the exploitation of "wolf".

Matt. 6:22,23:

The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are simple, your whole body will be bright.
23 But if your eyes are wicked, your whole body will be dark. If then the light within you is dark, how great that darkness is!

A wicked eye is a greedy eye, when a Christian now has a greedy eye, what else do you expect ?

Revelation 22:11,12 :

Let the one who does unrighteousness continue to do unrighteousness; let the wicked person continue to do wickedness still; let the one who practice righteousness continue to practice righteousness; and let the holy person continue to be holy."
