Why There Are Too Many Powerless Pastors In Nigeria by Orikinla(m): 8:40am On Jan 04, 2016 |
There are too many powerless pastors in Nigeria, because the majority of them are actually fake. That is why the faith of many is waxing cold and they don't receive answers to their prayers. (see Matthew 24:12 ). Our Lord, Saviour and Messiah Jesus Christ warned us of these wolves in sheep clothing in Matthew 7:5. So, if you know your Holy Bible, you cannot be deceived and fooled by these fake pastors who in many cases are ritual cultists and spiritualists using occultism for spiritualism to do their so called "miracles" to lure and trap ignorant and gullible people who don't have the Holy Spirit. Because, if you have the Holy Spirit you will have the gift of discernment to discern and test all spirits. Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. ~ 1 John 4:1King James Version (KJV) But in spite of all these clearly written and repeated warnings by Jesus Christ Himself, the fake pastors, ministers and bishops have succeeded in fooling and misleading millions of ignorant and gullible Nigerians who are too lazy to read the Holy Bible and who prefer lies to the truth, because true words of God expose their own hypocrisy too. So, they prefer pastors who will not admonish them for their unchristian lifestyles of conceit and deceit. So, fake pastors are deceiving the congregations who are also deceiving themselves by their fake Christianity. They have become what I call "garbage in, garbage out" churches. The Holy Bible is explicit on how to know fake pastors and preachers. 2 Timothy 3New International Version (NIV) 3 But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people. Fake pastors and ministers often shy away from preaching and practicing the commandments of Jesus Christ by avoiding God's emphasis on CHARITY which is the greatest calling of true Christianity. They skip preaching and practicing 1 Corinthians 13, which clearly addressed how best to believe, obey and worship God. You are wasting your time and money going to church, fasting, praying and worshiping God without Charity. For where there is true love, there will no crime and there will be no evil. That is why Jesus Christ said: So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets. ~ Matthew 7: 12. New International Version (NIV) 13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. ~ 1 Corinthians 13New International Version (NIV) That is why our Lord, Saviour and Messiah said to Simon Peter in the following verse that majority of Nigerian pastors, ministers and bishops don't like preaching and practicing today. Jesus Reinstates Peter 15 When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?” Photo Credit: http://bcaredfor.ca/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Elder-Abuse-Elder-Care-Beware-of-wolves-in-sheeps-clothing-Senior-Support-Home-Support-Services-Langley-Surrey-Abbotsford.jpg
