FAKE PASTORS OF PROSPERITY.

After he preached, money was dropped all over the pulpit. Some people were removing their gold necklaces and wrist watches and were dropping on the pulpit. Some removed their SIM cards and dropped their expensive phones.

Another man of God came to preach to the same people. The same people who dropped their car keys ran back home and brought out their juju and surrendered to the altar.
And were crying to God for mercy. Some brought the guns and masks they use for arm robbery. While some brought out their phones in front of the church and were destroying their SIM cards which they used to dupe people.
You could hear adults crying like babies.
Begging God for mercy.

What did the first preacher preach that made them ran back home to bring their money and didn't make them drop their charms?

The difference is in the burden of the preacher.

How can we see the people who are trooping to hell. Their prayer lives are dead. And all that we are after is their landed properties and car keys?

To me, nothing is wrong with people coming to give offering when a preacher is preaching.

But Lord, help my life. I don't want to join those that are entertaining this generation to perdition. If people hear me and drop their money without dropping their charms, it means I have failed.

Man of God, this month, Ask God to give you fresh burden for the lost. If you can, cry to Him to impact you once again with the passion for souls.

If not, people will look for you and will not see you. You may be all over social media, television, billboards, radio etc. Yet people that use to know you will start asking where you are?

The reason so many Pastors have gone to bow to mami water for power to grow their ministry is because God's grace have left them. They started very well. But along the line, they started making merchandise with the anointing.

God lifted His Hands from them and they became shadows of themselves. Instead of them to cry back to God for realignment, they went down to Egypt for help, So as to maintain their crowd and their fame.

Today, forget the laughter on their faces.
They are in trouble. Without fleets of cars and crowd in your church, you are still better than them. There is an Angel wearing my face to tell you this now. This minth, go back to where you dropped your burden for souls...
Go back to those days when you use to pray and groan in Gods presence before the program for God to give you souls as you go to preach. Remember the days when you use to celebrate anytime sinners were running out to surrender to Christ..

Go back to those days, sir. Money will come.
But let's not lose what money cannot buy while looking for money. Tell your host to make arrangements before inviting you to preach.
Let them not mount pressure on you to raise funds to cover the hotel bills and recover publicity cost.

This is a generation that packs sinners in crusades and start raising funds from them without leading them to Christ. A generation that organizes revival meetings where no one receives the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
No one was reconciled to Christ. Yet, everyone sowed dangerous financial seeds.

And we don't care. God is about to move in the land. He is about to silence many who are using Him to rob people and to give volumes to voices of men who have been carrying His burden genuinely....
If you are accepting preaching engagements this year, let it be for God to use you to reconcile people back to Him...
If not, you are declaring to heaven that you are no more useful in this on going end time revival and global harvest ...
Oh....
May God not raise another man to do what He anointed us to do for Him...

Christianity EtcHow To Offer Warfare Prayers With Results Assured by lightblazingnow(op): 8:08am On May 12, 2019
Most of you just open your mouth without making a statement of facts.


The Almighty God and his son are the same Spirit.

John 10:30 I and my Father are one.

If you don't know his son CHRIST JESUS you will never know his father God Almighty.

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. 14:7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.


Since you didn't pay attention to detail, you are found saying words instead of prayers which for ages has determined the structure of development the word over.

John 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.


Without the saints speaking out the prophetic, the word from the mouth of God Almighty, because you should know that no one has seen God Almighty physically at any time, but if we love one another God Almighty's love is dwelling in us.




How then do you make spiritual warfarehuh?


Never forget that our wrestling isn't with flesh and blood, or any known mortal adversaries.



Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.


Now you have been given ancient word, he's in your mouth and even in your heart that if you shall speak with boldness you will experience.

Romans 10:8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;


When you speak the original word of God Almighty in the spirit it is like the sharpest knife ever to be discovered, it cuts the chains and prisons of the principalities and Powers and destroy the rulers of this evil selfish world and the spiritual wickedness and put them on the run.

Revelation 19:15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.



But then when you are ignorant of the facts, you destroy yourself and those loyal to your rash words..


Proverbs 12:18 There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health.

12:19 The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment.
Christianity EtcHow to know if your is dead and an active spiritual intelligence by lightblazingnow(op):
Romans 8:5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. 8:6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.


8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 8:8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. 8:10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.


8:11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. 8:12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.


8:13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.



8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

8:17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. Amen heaven and earth says right now Oh Lord God Almighty and CHRIST JESUS
Christianity EtcThe difference between going to church and going to heaven by lightblazingnow(op):
There are so much cash in the bank yet men are restless and sick, weak and burden with one worry and as many affliction as well as pains and spirit break. When is man going to realise that...

Psalms 27:1 The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?


Your money, your connections, your degrees and your doings are no where close to life. You must listen and do as Christ specifically instructed his disciples to pass on to us...

John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.




You haven't agreed with your maker, the moment you say.....


Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 10:11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 10:12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.



There is no difference...


You can personally know your creator and founder CHRIST JESUS. Some said God created all things, yes through his beloved Christ Jesus.


Colossians 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 1:17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. 1:18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. 1:19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; 1:20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
Christianity EtcEmpty Wisdom Or Words Of Power Which Do You Prefer??? by lightblazingnow(op): 4:34am On May 12, 2019
These days we here folks saying what they can never be able to accomplish, false alarm, unfulfilled promises on the earth, stirring up the pride of the waters, and oh for the strong everlasting promise of the most high God Almighty not to destroy the earth again with the flood..... How, where will they could have been saved, oh his promises, how he, the Holy Ghost Cherishes them, the promise of love.


Genesis 9:9 And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you; 9:10 And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth.


9:11 And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.

9:12 And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:

9:13 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.

9:14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:

9:15 And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.


9:16 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.

9:17 And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.


You may not care that you made a promise to someone, but listen carefully, the Holy Ghost cares and he's present.


His word is practical, he fulfills all of his promises, so if you are a scientist and you are forecasting the arrival of flood to the earth, never again, you could or may have witnessed scanty or some parts of the earth flooded, not the whole again as was in the case of Noah.




Can you rest your life on mere talking of men or on the rigidity of the everlasting life of God Almightyhuh?


This generation would have to answers to the Lord God Almighty, oh the heavens will declare his glory and the whole earth should show forth the praises of our God Almighty who delivered us from the captivity of the darkness and have translated us to his marvellous kingdom. The kingdom of his beloved, of our Lord Jesus Christ, the King of kings and Lord of lords.

They say it is destiny, yet it can be missed.
They say there is destiny, yet prayer is recommended.
They say destiny cannot be changed, yet people will still be judged and get punished.

Destiny is a wrong word used by ignoramus to create false hope and fake fear in the mind of ignoramus, since man in his ignorance need hope to live and fear to be a slave.

One thing is certain, We are all born to die.
If you like, quote all the Bible verses out of fear.
You will die and... All your so called fulfilled life and destiny becomes a reference for both spiritual con men and simpletons.

Where is the destiny and fulfillment of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Solomon, David... and even the beautiful Jesus that kept nothing for himself? They all died and vanish, except for the sticky stories about them, that has become a standard of life for simpletons.

Brethren, work to feed your belly, cover your unclothedness, and a space enough to put your head. The rest are inherited madness, a mob psychology, a rat race... the end of which we all know.

There is nothing to fulfill in what is obviously a fleeting illusion, don't waste your energy on things that are not sustainable; glory, honor, riches... all for identity and volatile feelings.

Are you a Christian?
Pay more attention to his parables forget all other rubbish written about Jesus or on his behalf. He was an awakened one with Jewish mind, and awakened ones I've read about have something in common irrespective of their background. No wonder he was better than the biblical God.

We all are sleeping and need to awake.




Didn't you hear that your thoughts are his thoughts and your ways hishuh Because you haven't heard you are restless and wandering...


Isaiah 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.

55:9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

55:10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:

55:11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

The book of Titus 2:11-12, says the GRACE of God that bringeth salvation has appeared to ALL MEN, teaching us that denying ungodliness and WORDLY LUSTS, we should live soberly, righteously and godly in this present world.
The gospel of Jesus is the grace that has appeared to all men irrespective of tribe, language, race, nationalities and colour. So if after you accept this free gift of love and mercy, you for whatever reasons decide to succumb to the selfish lust warring against the soul albeit having come to the knowledge of the truth, you will loose your destiny in Christ.
Note the father (God) has given us freewill, God has never and he will never force himself on you he will always allow you to make your own choice,on the contrary it is the devil that forces himself on us even where he is not wanted or invited. It therefore behooves on you to use this freewill of yours in diligent pursuit of his will in negation to whatsoever the tempter might present you with. Need I remind you that as humans we are tempted mostly by our secret desires i.e the flesh, the things of this world and finally the devil, it's your ability to withstand this temptation by the grace of Jesus which is always available that can help secure your destiny in him. Remember your conscience is always there to guide you. May the Lord be with your Spirit. Amen.
Grace and peace is multiplied to us in 10000000000000000000 folder

It will take the winner just to cross the set line, if you couldn't cross the set line at the stipulated time you lose the first position, you are born of the first and not the second, so strive to overcome.


How then do you lose your destiny in seconds??

Very simple, the scriptures explained who won and those who will be tormented forever and as we speak now folks love the darkness more than the light, They love hanging out with the darkness more than they have time to know and be free from errors, yet they never cared for liberty.



Matthew 5:13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. Surprised the word 'his savour is used and not its savour??

5:14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

5:15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.

5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.




How do you achieve all of this??




John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.



Won't you believe in the name of your savour, do you ever think you can or have made it without believing in the name of the only begotten?

what does that mean?? The sacrificial lamb of God Almighty, the smitten and punished son of God Almighty for our transgressions of the laws which you woefully agreed to keep, oblivious of the fact that the wages of sin is death. And CHRIST who knew no sin became sin, that we might be made the righteous of God Almighty.


Are you going to lose this for any lesser argument, little thinking or whatever? Are you ready for eternity, could it be that you are down on the busy road of excuseshuh



Run the straight race and don't get busy with trivities.

Folks seems to forget that nothing escape the eternal plan of the Almighty. The saints before this present time had been warned by God Almighty to rise and shine for their light is come and that the glory of God Almighty have risen upon them. Have these saints risen together with Christ Jesus, yes, do they know? No they don't.


The scriptures went further to say that darkness shall cover the whole earth, thick darkness shall overshadow the people. Wow, that's total darkness, complete ignorance.



Isaiah 60:2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.



What do you think is darkness, is it just darkness at night or there is more to it? Of course there is more, darkness symbolises ignorance of spiritual truth, the now word of God Almighty.

The scriptures did mention that the people will be so ignorant, they won't be able to tell their left from their right. And so these wolvies in sheep clothing will descend on them and tear them apart from their families, their jobs and everything that's important in their lives.


Watch out, for there will be more darkness, greatest ignorance of spiritual intelligence of our time and these folks will continue to feast on gulibility of these ignorant community to enhance their dynasty of propagating their branches.


But in the end they wil be judge and their judgement will be swift and wrathter.


2 Timothy 3:8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. 3:9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.




Revelation 22:6 And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.

22:7 Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.
