6 WAYS HOW TO KNOW FALSE & PERVERTED PREACHERS
"Therefor by their fruits you shall know them" Matthew 7:20.

EARTHLY MAJOR
These preachers majorly focus on your earthly well-being than your spiritual well-being. They focus on your financial, material progress than your spiritual progress; it’s majorly about prosperity than purity. Such messages may be sweet, calming and lovely to you by your lovely preachers, G.Os or Bishops, but the bad news is that they are poison to your soul. Though such messages may psych you, make you scream, shout or shed tear, but they are lovely packed poison. Proverbs 20:17, "Bread gained by deceit is sweet to a man, but afterward his mouth will be filled with gravel."

RIGHTS WITHOUT RESPONSIBILITIES
Perverted messages center on promises of the Bible without responsibilities and commands of the Bible. Because they want to lure and psych you, they tell you half-truth of sweet, lazy aspect that will cost you no self-discipline, just claim and cash! They tell you grace without truth, faith without work, justification without godliness, heaven without holiness, power without purity, and God’s promises without godly relationship. They say, “You should know your rights in Christ, you have authority, all promises for you…” But they rarely challenge you to your responsibility to live blameless life of holiness, to deny sin and self as a child of God. Such rhetoric of “your rights” without repeating “your responsibilities” are poisonous to your soul.

PRAISE WITHOUT PURITY
If you hear any preacher saying what you need majorly to please God and get blessing of God is to just keep praising God, without first telling you about purity, such preacher is a perverted preacher of the enemy of the cross of Christ, such message is erroneous. Praise without purity is ugly and unacceptable to God, no matter how sweet your voice is, and no matter how seasoning the musical instruments are; because the beauty of praise is holiness, and your praise without your life of holiness is ugly, empty and poisonous. 1 Chronicles 16:29, “Oh, worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness!”

GRACE WITHOUT GODLINESS
Beware of messages that talk about grace without godliness, they are end time Snake Venom! The grace of Jesus Christ produces godly life. We are not saved by our own works of righteousness; we are saved by grace for godly works not for ungodly works. After salvation, the grace of God produces righteous living in us. Grace and ungodliness never meet together – you can’t continue in sin and still have God’s grace in you, and you can’t continue in grace of God and still continue in ungodly living. Romans 6:1-2

TITUS 2: 11 For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, 12 teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age.

GIVING WITHOUT GODLINESS
These perverted preachers peach that anybody can give to God, both saved and unsaved, to attract the blessing of God. That is the reason they make public demand for contribution for their so called “God’s work” They collect offerings without caring if you have genuinely offered your life to Jesus Christ. Their preaching from January to December dwell more on giving than godliness. They can biblically proof that giving gives rooms for God’s blessing, but seldom making you to know that ungodliness open heaven for God’s judgment. They have different types of giving gimmicks.

FIRE BRIGADE ALTAR CALL
The perverted preachers, wanting to justify their defiled conscience and to pretend as if they care for salvation of souls, after preaching on earthly things for 56mins, and when it remains 4 minutes to round off, they begin to ask people to come out for altar call, saying, “If you have not given your life to Jesus Christ, you cannot enjoy all these earthly blessings”. I have watched a Christian program on TV where their G.O saying, “Before I count 10, run to the altar because we have many other important things to do” These perverted preachers spend more time to preach on earthly blessings and few minutes to make altar call without taking time to explain what salvation really means to the people. Those who answer their altar calls are given false hope that they are saved, and they also give themselves false impressions that they are still leading people to salvation. That is how the church is breeding goat Christians by their perverted preachers today.

If you are born again, but no evidence of holiness of life, if you still rise and fall into sin or some ungodly lifestyles still persist in your life, you need to rededicate your life to Jesus, and deliver yourself from poisonous messages, preachers and churches before you are doomed forever. Escape for your life!

Are you ready to rededicate your life to Jesus now and start a new life? Then repent! Confess all your sins, forsake them all and ask Jesus to forgive, cleanse you and save you.
