Modern Pastors And Our Sorry Religion by appishani1(m): 1:01pm On Dec 02, 2023
In recent years we have witnessed scandals and massive inflow of money, money pastors into the ministry of Jesus Christ, these pastors prey on their quillible followers to enrich themselves.
These people had overtime also become arrogant, careless,flashy,proud, uncouth and vulgar, their lavish lifestyle reveal a story of a people who have grown from grass to Grace, rags to riches, thanks to a guillible congregation and the growth of the expanding evangelcal Christian industry.
Success today is often measured by the accumulation of material possession or the size of your bank balance rather than who you are and what you stand for.
Sadly, this same attitude validating the love of money is now evident in the modern church.
Through televangelism and the rise of personality-based religion some pastors and ministers look more like rock-stars than the humble servant of God. They flaunt the excesses of a material lifestyle and use slick marketing to "sell" Jesus like some commodity rather than giving the praise and honour due to the son of God.
The wealth and health pastors funded their lavish lifestyle with the tithes and offerings of their guillible followers.
In Micah 3:5"Thus says the Lord concerning the prophets who lead my people astray, who cry "peace" when they have something to eat, but declare war against him who put nothing into their mouth". They consistently pressure their members to give,give,give and threatened those that didn't give with failure and misery.
These people made their members to believe that monetary gain equated to spiritual growth, which is utterly wrong.
Money is not of or from God.
It is a medium of exchange developed by the world.
God is not seeking your money; he is seeking you.
Due to their vile hunger for power, these people have now resort to killing and even kidnapping.
They lack the patience and consistency to wait for the holy spirit, they are rushing to be rich.
And the few of them who manage to succeed in the ministry are buying private jets, driving costly cars and sending their children to study abroad. They neither care nor have any compassion for the poor, they extort money from anyone who came their way.
Their evil desire for power is second to none, they deliberately ask for power, they ask for public acknowledgement, they want their name to be heard, they want to be famous, they want to trend.
If you want to be getting opportunity to speak on their pulpit, you have to continually pour praise on them not God.
The people giving testimony are no more thanking God for the miracle that happened in their life, they are now thanking "mummy" and "daddy" of the house. Their members are brainwashed, they are innocently going to hell, due to their ignorance.
I call on my fellow Christians whose love grow cold by these people's action.
I call on those who are being discouraged always by this people to know that, they shouldn't give up on Christ because of these money grabbers.
The only purpose they are in our religion is to drive many people away by destroying the good reputation of our religion that Jesus gave his life for.
These people are doing all manner of evil in our religion, they are rapping, killing, kidnapping, collecting bribe and doing unthinkable things.
Pastors are now being excorted by fully aim to the teeth law enforcement officers, they are now driving cars worth hundred of millions of naira and living in the most classic houses you can imagine.
Where are they getting the money?
Is that house they supposed to spend money?
What are these people after?
These are the people that supposed to keep and practice what Jesus order or advocate through out his whole ministry and life.
One of which is for people to focus on things that are above not beneath, Jesus repeatedly told people to sell what they have and give alms, these people are worst than the Pharisees.
We now know by their fruits who they really are, wolves in sheep clothing who are only here to devour and we are not going to let that happen.
We are more than ready to rescue the reputation of our religion.
All these brethren who are been negatively affected by these people's action should never give up.
I call on you to be courageous and stand firm.
WE KNEW WHO WE SERVE AND THAT'S MORE THAN ENOUGH FOR US.

Jesus is an invention of the Roman empire.

The TRUE Messiah in the Old Testament has not yet come, when he comes born of a man and woman, he will bring true righteousness to all nations.
