Many Men Of God Have Deviated From The Truth by kelao: 9:58pm On Nov 08, 2011
WARN YOUR PASTOR: Our Apostle Paul has laid a curse on any minister who preaches any other gospel contrary to what the Apostles have preached (Gal. 1:6-9). Many preachers have gone out of the Bible and are preaching all manners of heresies.
Nevertheless it is written, preach the word, be instant in season, out of season, for the time has come when Church goers are not enduring sound doctrine but after their own lusts are heaping to themselves teachers with itching ears and are turning away their ears from the truth unto fables (2Tim. 4:1-5).


God desires gallant Ministers who will stand for the Truth even if it will cost them their financial support, popularity and friends.
WARN YOUR PASTOR: He should stop making merchandise of you (2 Pet. 2: 1-3). The gifts of the spirits are freely given and Pastors are to minister freely to God’s people. The gifts are not for making money (Matt. 10:1&cool. It is contrary to the scripture to trade with the gifts.
WARN YOUR PASTOR: It is insult to the Christian faith for any Church to encourage their sisters to participate in fashion parades or beauty contest. (Deut. 23:17-18; Num. 25:1-5). These are worldly activities that have no spiritual significance.
WARN YOUR PASTOR: It is wrong to collect Tithes, offerings and vows from members of the congregation who are involved in shady deals e.g. Fraudsters, Prostitutes, Ritualists, Corrupt Money Bags, Bribe takers etc. If the Pastor is sincere, let him tell this to the people during every offering. It is an abomination (Deut. 23:18). By the number of offerings taken during each fellowship you know the purpose of setting up that Church.


WARN YOUR PASTOR: It is wrong, warn him to stop lying that God told him that a certain number of people should bring a specific amount of money for a particular Project in the Church, when God did not say so. Such a Pastor is under very serious judgement. 2 Cor. 9:7, Deut 16: 16-17 tell us that offerings should be made willingly and as able. The practice of stating the minimum amount and even waving your offerings so that people will see how much you are offering are all unscriptural. Offerings are done in secret (Matt. 6:1-4). Even in the building of the temple, the people gave willingly and not by task (1 Chron. 29:6-9). Ministers must follow the admonishment of Paul for the need to maintain their integrity before God and the congregation (1 Thes. 2: 4-5, Acts 20:33-35).


WARN YOUR WOMAN PASTOR: She is carrying out a responsibility that is not hers. She is not in the will of God no matter the anointing. God has placed every believer in a specific position to serve Him. Apostle Paul thus set the Church in order and thereby forbids woman leadership in the Church. He even gave the reason in 1 Tim. 2:11-14 and told them concerning any matter being settled in the Church, women are to keep silent and find out from their husbands only at home. (1Cor. 14:34-38) This was not written only to the Corinthians as some renegade Pastors teach. Paul said it was to all Christians in all Churches till Jesus returns. (1Cor. 1:1-2) The positions of authority in the Church are Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Teachers and Pastors as in Eph. 4:11-16. Deacons are Church Wardens whose qualifications are given in 1Tim. 3:8-13. none of these offices belong to the woman. The Revised Standard Version (RSV) in Rom. 16:1 referred to Phoebe as a deaconess. This is an unscriptural term injected into the scriptures in 1950 by Satan through unrevelated translators. In the KJV she is called Servant of the Church and her duty was to carry Paul’s epistles from one local Church to the other. The Bible says that the deacon should be the husband of one wife. Nowhere does it say that deaconess should be the wife of one husband. (1Tim. 3:12) When God has set a standard let no man revise it. No woman liberation movement in the Church. The woman lost the equality position- wise since the fall in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:16) Do not misconstrue Paul’s meaning in (Gal. 3:28) Yes, we are all one in Christ Jesus being all redeemed by the same Blood. But when it comes to leadership offices as servants of God, to take care of the Sheep and the Pulpit, Paul says woman should keep silent and not usurp authority over the man. The woman should not give instructions to the man either at home or in the Church. The Bible has no room for woman Evangelist, Deaconess, Ushers and woman Pastor including the Pastor’s wife if she is one.


WARN YOUR PASTOR: Remind him that Heb. 13:4 is still effective today. It is wrong to wed any couple that have defiled themselves before the wedding date, by sleeping with each other or where the woman is already pregnant before the wedding date. They have sinned and must be told to repent and not celebrate their sin. God is against all ungodly fashion trends in the Pentecostal Churches and their new generation Pastors who permit micro- mini, back dresses, tights, Shaba, see through, low neck and show blouses, form fitting dresses, body hugs, hot pants, etc. Women who wear such commit adultery each time a man lust after them. (Matt. 5:28). Christian couples have no right to even kiss each other until they are pronounced husband and wife by the Pastor. It is abomination. A Church that stands for holiness will not encourage that. Tell your Pastor to stop kissing other men’s wives and single sisters while claiming. 1Thess. 1:5:26 to justify his action.


WARN YOUR PASTOR: Ask him where he got these titles from: Rev (Dr.)Mrs., Rt. Rev., Most Senior Apostle, Arch Bishop, His Eminence, His Holiness, Commander, Pope, etc, Who made him God’s General? The Apostle who brought us the gospel told us they are our example. What title did they bear? Jesus himself warned us of this Spirit- please read Matt. 23:1-2 and if you are sincere you will not take any title that is unscriptural. Drop them now and humble yourself. Jesus Christ, your master was so common even among the twelve Apostles that they needed a Judas to identify Him to the enemy. Pastor, remove that special seat you kept and decorated for yourself and your wife in the Church. Remove that special robe that distinguished you and your wife from the members of the Church. As we see today so- called Pentecostal Bishops wear crosses hanging in front of them like their Catholic masters. That was not known with the Lord Jesus and His Apostles. The Pastor is now too big to even carry his own Bible. He has employed someone to carry it for him when he goes to the pulpit. By this he simply tells the congregation that he is bigger than the Bible or it is too heavy for him to carry. That is pride, God hates it (Pro. 6: 16-19).


NOTE: That today before you can be crowned a Pentecostal Bishop, you must have built a big auditorium and has paid a deposit of at least N2.5m to their organization. In the Bible, a Bishop is a mere preacher or an elder. Every member of the five fold ministry (Eph. 4:11) is a Bishop or an overseer. There can be more than one Bishop in one local Church (Philippines 1:1-2). This is the apostolic practice. To put one Bishop over many congregation as they do today is anti-Christ; a carryover from the Roman Catholic Church which the Bible called the mother of harlots (Rev. 17:5)


WARN YOUR PASTOR: It is no longer the Church of Jesus Christ when he sets up the Church as his business empire i.e. the husband is the general overseer (chairman), his wife assistant overseer (managing director), while the children or relations are in charge of their financial collection (business proceed). (Acts 6:1-6) tells us the ministers should have no business with welfare and finances of the Church. Deacons are to be elected by the Church to take care of that. Your Pastor has no business being the signatory to the Church account though he oversees and coordinates the activities of the entire Church. What was the position of Peter’s wife in the Apostolic Church? But we all see how Church leaders are cleverly grooming their wives to take over the “business empires” when they die. The true Church of Jesus Christ does not run as a family business.


WARN YOUR PASTOR: To stop teaching people how to speak in tongues. Nobody taught disciples how to speak in tongues on the day of Pentecost (Act 2:4) nor did Peter teach Cornelius and his household how to speak in tongues as the Holy Spirit gave them utterance not as the Pastor taught them. Speaking in tongues is only one of the gifts of the Holy Spirit (1Cor. 12:1-11).
Also, 1Cor. 12:27-31 tells us that all cannot speak in tongues. 1Cor. 14:23, tells us that if a stranger enters the Church and hear everybody speaking in tongues he would think the people are mad. The Church order for operating the gifts is clearly given in 1Cor. 14:1-33.


If there is no interpretation then speak it to yourself in your closet, not in the Church. (1Cor. 14:10) warns against just speaking of what you don’t know because you may be cursing God without knowing. Don’t you know that Demons also speak in tongues and even prophesy? Be sure your gift is not the one your Pastor gave you but the one you received supernaturally by the Holy Spirit. And every true gift will line up with Bible irrespective of what the Church believes.


WARN YOUR PASTOR: A church with a headquarters, with branches all over, having appointed and paid ministers to watch over these branches, sending tithes and offering to the headquarters is not scriptural. All local assemblies are sovereign and responsible to the leadership of the Holy Ghost alone and not receiving instructions from any headquarters on what to preach etc. The Church must be run the apostolic way. When through evangelism a local Church comes up and an able ministers prayerfully selected is ordained to oversee that assembly, he is not to be taking instructions from any headquarters but only liaised with other ministers as the need may arise. He is independent. Pastor Tunde Bakare of Latter Rain Assembly caught this revelation and granted independence to the branches recently. Every true Pastor must also do the same. There is no denomination in the Bible.

Dear Reader: Note the following Prophecies: 1 Tim. 4:1-2, 2 Tim. 3:1-9, 2 Tim. 4:1-4, 2 Pt. 2: 1-3, Jude 3-23, Tit. 1:10-16, 2 Cor. 11:1-15, Rom. 16:17-19. (Please read these scriptures thoughtfully). They all speak of the conditions of the Church at the end time. You and I know they are fulfilled now. People have departed from the faith. The grace of God has come down with a message of RESTORATION of the Church back to the apostolic doctrine and faith. Isaiah 48:20; 52:11; 2 Cor. 6:14-18 and Rev. 18:1-4 are crying out to true believers to come out of the erroneous assemblies and faiths and return to the word.
This is our sincere attempt to draw your attention to some of the abominations that have crept into the Church, as was the case in Israel (Is. 28:8-10). These self-called Pastors are fulfilling Prophecies; therefore do not fear to change your Pastor or Denomination, if necessary. You are to run for your life.


And damn the consequences in standing for the truth. God started the Church with RECONCILIATION MINISTRY and because of what heresies have done to the Christian faith; God is ending the programme with the RESTORATION MINISTRY. He planted a pure word based Church at Pentecost as seen In the New Testament. If that Church brings out a branch, it must look, believe and teach the same. We are that branch and the harvest is near. Be restored to the Bible truth of the hour.

What the church needs is not revolution but revival.

My brother, pls note that Christ did not come to create a church or religion for that matter. He came to redeem the sinful world and reconcile us back to God. The church is meant to prepare us for His coming but alas, satan is seriously fighting against it, but, he will not prevail.

To grow as a born-again christian, you need to fellowship with saved souls - souls that are thirsting for the coming of the Lord. Find such around you and fellowship with them; they are very few, but they're still out there. Go go a bible believing church andd learn the word of God. Buy christian books written by true children of God and these will help you. remeber, you'll have no excuse on the judgement day. "work out your own salvation with fear and trembling". Phil 2:12

@Kelao

The title of your post makes sense; you exaggerated some of your points even though you quoted scriptures to back them up.

Its true there are many false ministers, but your main focus should be to advise christians to beware by Spending time with God's Word through the guidance of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 3:6), so that they can also confirm what they have heard from the Word of God (Acts 17:11) & more IMPORTANTLY, so they can win more souls for the Kingdom
