Idolatry is a practice that is highly detestable by God, because it arouses His jealousy (Exodus 34:14) and fury, which leads to very devastating consequences. The word "Idolatry" is very vast, as it encompasses all forms of worship with respect to things in heaven and on earth (Exodus 20:4) aside God, and the diversion of the glory meant for Him to things He created or things that were created through His creations.



The practice goes beyond paying obeisance to carved images, but also ascribing the honor, privileges, time, focus, trust and other exclusive rights of God to a cherished being or substance. This means that the value you attach to substances you cherish, if not properly weighed on a scale, might lead to idolatry. The resultant effect of idolatry has caused people to shift their focus from God, to worshiping things of a lesser nature.



However, in the world today, idolatry has taken many forms, with a growing concern in many quarters with respect to the way and manner believers reverence men and women of God. Sometimes, in a bit for believers to exhibit a high level of "humility" and respect for their preachers, they break the scale of moderation by reducing their value of son-ship through Christ, while clothing themselves with an appearance of slaves or mere beggars.



However, the failure by preachers to address this growing trend by either educating their members through the preaching of the gospel or open correction when the need arises, have left many in doubt about their sincerity, while some folks are of the notion that these preachers are just enjoying the show.

DO YOU THINK THAT PASTORS ARE ENCOURAGING IDOLATORY OR THE WAILERS ARE JUST OVER FLOGGING THE ISSUE?
