Prophet T.B. Joshua And The Sale Of Ordinary Paper Sticker For N5,000

MY GOD! I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS HAPPENING IN CHRISTENDOM TODAY!

Text: Matthew 10:8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.

Proverbs 23:23 Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.

Although I am aware of the rottenness in today's Christianity, in regards to the ways and manners in which the pastors of today uses to lure the unsuspecting Christians, particularly careless and miracle seeking Christians into their prison of spiritual enslavement by their supposed God given grave and endowment, thereby diverting the attention of these sets of believers from Jesus Christ to themselves, which of course is now a normal and a daily routine in Christendom today.

In considering our text above, it is very obvious that the pastors that are now monetizing their spiritual gift and ministerial ability for earthly gains are ignorant of the purpose that God empowered them in the first place. Today, it is a common sight seeing and knowledge that any pastor that does not perform miracles, prophesy or made some ‘the Lord said’ remarks in their ministration will be termed fake. This is a clear diversion from what the body of Christ was made to be.

On the long run, the believer who is running after these pastors are not just endangering themselves but they are equally dedicating their unborn generations to satanic manipulation, due largely to the fact that the true Spirit of God may have long left these men unknowingly whereby their operations is now being influence by satanic ministers of the bible. I hope you remembered the case of Saul in 1 Samuel 16:14-16, 18:10, how evil spirit from God took possession of him and yet, he was still a prophet. Therefore, you must be very careful now.

By the grace of God, I was recently promoted in my place of work to the position of a Supervisor. This promotion brought among other things a new office for my daily operations. And by the grace of God, I am now using this new office, while the former occupants were relocated to another building within the same area. My experiences in this new office necessitated this post right now, which I am believing God that, it will bring deliverance to the people of God that are now captives of the mighty Isaiah 49:25, in the hand of those that calls themselves pastors, prophets, senior pastors, general overseer, pope, bishops, archbishops or whatever title they choose to bear today. May the blood of Jesus Christ set you free today in Jesus name. Amen.

Now, while I was taken possession of this new of office, I saw a sticker of Prophet T.B. Joshua, of Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) pasted on the wall. I didn’t border to look at the sticker whatever was written therein due to the fact that I personally don’t fancy the pasting of stickers of whoever pastor within my abode. So, without any second thought of whomever the sticker may belong, I pulled it out from the wall and then trashed it in the dustbin. This is where I became furious in my spirit when the person that owns it came back to ask for the sticker.

Therefore, three days later, the owner of the sticker came back to the office to ask for the sticker. I frankly told him that I was the one the removed it and moreover, that I had trashed it immediately. He was saying I should have asked before doing so but I apologized to him and pleaded that, I just did it because I don’t really know who owns it. We both tried to locate it from the trash basket but to no avail. I begged him that I am truly sorry and he accepted my apologies. Thank you Lord Jesus, for allowing peace to reign between me and my colleague, who was the former occupant of my new office. However, he told me that the sticker I had trashed actually costs him N5,000 (about 32 dollars) from T.B. Joshua’s church.

Children of God, when our pastors today are now inventors and distributors of some perceived miraculous materials such as stickers, aprons, anointing oil, handkerchiefs, soap, books, wrist bands, keys, sponge and other things they termed anointed, this will ultimately turned the attention of children of God to these pastors. This is the more reason today that, churches that feeds on the biblical ignorance of the supposed children of God are on the increase. Today, any person who is hungry and jobless for so many years after graduation is now champions of anointing carriers. Their mushroom churches of yesterday are now solution and miracles centers to these ever growing communities of Christians that want others to do it for them instead of doing it themselves.

Jesus teaches us in John 14:12 VERILY, VERILY, I SAY UNTO YOU, HE THAT BELIEVETH ON ME, THE WORKS THAT I DO SHALL HE DO ALSO; AND GREATER WORKS THAN THESE SHALL HE DO; because I go unto my Father. If you truly understand your position as a child of God, nobody will be tossing you up and down with one form of supposed miracle material. So, how will you allow these rogues, ravenous wolves in sheep clothing called pastors to blindfold and mesmerized you this badly? May you be delivered today in Jesus name. Should you open your eyes now, you will surely see that you have been abused, used and dump by these so called pastors.

Meanwhile, though I know that people get stickers, anointing water and other things from T.B. Joshua church, but I have never thought that ordinary sticker made out of mere paper can be sold for as high as N1,000 not to talk a whopping N5,000. This is craziness I must confess to you right now. For God sake, can handkerchief, anointing water, sticker, poster, calendar, customized shirts, aprons, soap and other useless things they so value now save you? Are these things what is needed for you to make heaven? Brethren, the bible warned us to be wise Matthew 10:16 but, you choose to be foolish instead Matthew 25:3.

LET’S CONSIDER THIS FOR EXAMPLE

T.B. Joshua has about 854,241 likes on Facebook right now https://www.facebook.com/tbjministries and about 84,853 followers on Twitter https://twitter.com/SCOANTBJoshua bringing the total to around 939,094 fans on social media alone. This is excluding his church members and admirers that neither use Facebook or Twitter worldwide.

Let’s say only 20% of these fans (187,818 fans) purchased the sticker at N5,000 (about 32 dollars) i.e 187,818x5,000 = N939,090,000 million naira. This is approximately N1billion naira in excess of gain.

Therefore, if on a weekly basis T.B. Joshua is helping people to the tune of N10,000,000 this will mean that he will still be making a profit of N8,059,423.07692308 weekly. This will amount to N96,713,076.92307696 in a year. Remember, this calculation is based on 187,818 out 939,094 online fans he currently has. What do you think the picture will look like if all these online fans and his entire church members purchased this ordinary paper sticker? Again, Jesus Christ will deliver you out of the hands of those pastors killing you today in Jesus name.

From the foregoing, why will there not be more fake pastors today than the real called ones. Now that the church issue has turned a lucrative business and a faster avenue to make illegitimate money legitimately, why will there not be millions of church denominations, struggling to outdo each other on the field, and competing with the world in fame and glory?

Brethren, this is the primary reason today that the church Jesus Christ died for has been turned upside down with fake pastors.

Who will rise up today to flush out these moneybags pastors from the altar of Jesus Christ? You, the one that is reading this right now, Jesus Christ is counting and depending on you to deliver His church?

Will you accept the challenge? Remember, your service is needed by the LORD Jesus Christ now!!!

Rise up and appreciate the LORD, for opening your eyes to black practices of these wolves calling themselves pastors today.

Shalom!

MY DEAR READER THE BITTER TRUTH IS THAT NO CHURCH WILL TAKE YOU FOR HEAVEN, BUT A GOOD CHURCH WILL ALWAYS SHOW YOU THE RIGHT WAY TO HEAVEN.

• Just like a good teacher that will never sit for your exams but will always teach you the entire syllabus, A good church will never tell you “IT DOES NOT MATTER” on any thing the bible speaks against.

• No pastor can influence God’s judgement on you after death but a Heavenly conscious pastor can influence your decision in living your life on earth via the undiluted gospel to make you please God and make Heaven.

• God will not delete some verses in the Holy Bible so that you can gain admission in heaven neither will he will bring down his yardstick of holiness so that heaven can accommodate you.

• Achieving 99.9% of God’s standard will take no man into heaven (unless God’s mercy prevails) - For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. Romans 9;15, Ex 33:19

• No wonder our Lord Jesus said not even every one that strives to enter heaven will make it “BUT STRIVE” he advised.. -Luke 13:24 Strive to enter … for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able

• Totally give your life, body, spirit, soul, mind and consciousness to Jesus Christ. Only he can reconcile you back to God and not that “IT DOES NOT MATTER” someone is twisting the bible to brain wash you so that you can be his member instead telling you the truth and make you a Heavenly citizen. –

-1st Timothy 2:5 “For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all-

• Do not let any preacher on earth infuse the spirit of self righteousness in you because that preacher is not in custody of the Heaven’s book of life to know if that your righteous life pleases God else you will be shocked on the judgement day -Prov 30 vs 12 . There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness.(sins)

• Please do not be carried away by the various titles, positions or committees you head in your local church which you think automatically makes you a heavenly candidate because it will not count on that day. prov 21 : 2 Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts.

• Because your pastor uses you to set a good example to other members because you donate most in tithes & offerings does not mean you are recognised in heaven
-luke 16 vs 15 And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.

• Because he preaches about the good side of life only without reminding you that your soul must end somewhere, My dear it does not alter the way God sees you :

A MISERABLE MAN

1st corin 15 vs 19- (If we have hope in Christ because of all the wealth, mansions, fleets, family, job and Money we expect from him in this life , then we are of all men most miserable)

• Just like it is risky to go into an exam without covering all the syllable any thing you are told will not matter today will matter the day of judgement (as long as the bible condemns it) -Eccl 12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.

• Your standard should be God’s standard and not that of any one person on the face of this earth because you do not even know if that Prophet or Bishop u are imitating still has his name is in the book of life.

• Remember Your pastor nor his wive’s standard is not equally God’s standard. You need bible standard to make heaven - prov 16 vs 2 All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the LORD weigheth the spirits.

As a lady believer, you will be judged by God if any man defiles his body by mere seeing the Jezebeelic colours, peals & Dresses your Mummy in Christ encourages you to put on. These are satanic ways of trapping Genuine Christians ignorantly.

Because your pastor’s wife encourages you to bath with these ornaments will not delete what God commanded in Exodus 33 vs 5 (….Now take off your ornaments!!!),nor tear off the page of the scripture in Prov 7: 1-27

And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot …. Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.

These verses will surely pop up on your day of judgement (by then she would not be there)

If you die before her you will go to hell while she may have an encounter with God, change her apparel and make heaven thereafter. Who is now the fool…?

• Donot let any one fool you. Is it not the same Bible both of you are having ?’

• Never partake in any assembly that encourages you to bow to any image – There is no where in the Holy Bible that God asked you to bow to any image, even that of Christ, his mother, angel, or pray with any object appart from believiNg and praying in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ
Exodus 20: 5 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or ANY LIKENESS of any thing ... Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them……

No priest nor pope will delete this scripture from The Holy Bible until we all leave these earth no matter the nomination You belong to.

• Though your church may use its own satanic written bible that preaches that there is no Hell, It will not obliterate what Our Lord Jesus Christ who will judge the living and the death said in -Mark 9 vs 47 it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into “HELL FIRE” ….

• Please let your standard of holiness while on earth be patterned to what God told us in the bible

• Eccl 12 vs 14For a day is coming where … GOD SHALL BRING EVERY WORK INTO JUDGMENT, WITH EVERY SECRET THING, WHETHER IT BE GOOD, OR WHETHER IT BE EVIL. (ECCL 12:14)

Note; WITHOUT HOLINESS…NO HUMAN BEING ON EARTH WILL SEE GOD.

PLEASE DO NOT DOUBT THESE AS YOU MAY DISCOVER IT RATHER TOO LATE…. INSTEAD ASK THE HOLY SPIRIT TO CONFIRM IF WHAT YOU HAVE JUST READ IS TRUE…BECAUSE CRYING FOR MERCY IN HELL IS M-I-S-S-I-O-N I-M-P-O-S-S-I-B-L-E

Don't Be Deceived By The Mere Appearance Of Holiness Of Men

Does Not Using Jewelries, Makeup And Wearing Trousers Means Holiness? This message was dropped in my spirit some few days ago.

Text: James 2:19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.

Many a time, a lot of us Christians are quick to conclude that, a brother or a sister is a born again Christian, judging by their physical appearance of not using jewelries, makeup, attachment, weave-on, mini skirt, spaghetti, high heels, and wearing trouser as a woman. If this is your definition of being born again, I am sorry you have a very big problem in your hand. Look, unless the Master Jesus Christ steps in to help you, you may be destroyed in your ignorance. Be wise.

Our text declared that "the devil also believe" that there's one God. Brethren, this goes to show us that, some of the people you are calling brother and sister in the Lord, based on their outward appearance of being free from worldly look may be devil's incarnate without you knowing it. This is why it is very important and necessary to be filled with the Holy Spirit at all times, so that you will be able to discern pretending Christians (goats) from the TRUE CHRISTIANS (sheep) Matthew 25:31-33.

The word of God declared "rend your heart and not your garment" Joel 2:13. God is more interested in the inside of the heart because, when a clean heart is created and a right spirit renewed within you Psalms 51:10, your outside will demonstrate it by bringing forth that which is good Luke 6:45. Moreover, the teaching of Jesus Christ in Luke 11:37-41, will bring you better understanding. 37 "When Jesus had finished speaking, a Pharisee invited him to eat with him; so he went in and reclined at the table. 38 But the Pharisee, noticing that Jesus did not first wash before the meal, was surprised. 39 Then the Lord said to him, "Now then, you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness. 40 You foolish people! Did not the one who made the outside make the inside also? 41 But give what is inside [the dish] to the poor, and everything will be clean for you." NIV.
The bible says "Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart", "And rend your heart, and not your garments" Joel 2:12-13. Now, due to the fact that the intentions and motives of the heart can easily be covered with a godly look outside, you tends to identify a wicked man in the inside as a righteous man on the outside. However, a heart that have been rend truly with the word of God cannot behave otherwise on the outside.

Although the bible classified the heart as "deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked" Jeremiah 17:9, "and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually" Genesis 6:5, "for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth Genesis 8:21, this same heart can also sort after God's own heart to fulfil God's will Acts 13:22. So, don't write off any perceived wicked man today as such a one can become the greatest asset in the hands of God tomorrow. Paul the Apostle is a typical example here 1 Timothy 1:15.

From the foregoing, it will suffice to make it clear that, if you are truly born again John 3:5-7, everything about you MUST CHANGE. From your language to your dressing, your friends to your likes, everything must change.
In 2 Corinthians 5:17, the bible says "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." Child of God, you can't be termed a new creature when your old sinful nature (flesh) have refused to die, so that your new man (Spirit) can take charge Galatians 5:16-17, Romans 8:5-9. There must be a visible and noticeable changes in your conducts and actions on a daily basis. The world's system will no longer become your fashion except you are pretending to be born again when you are truly BORN AGAINST IN PRACTICE. Examine yourselves now.

Over the years and in the churches, you find people who claims to be Christians wearing earrings, jewelries, mini skirts, bangles, light and heavy makeup, weavon, attachment, punking hairstyle, wearing trousers as a woman, necklaces, wedding rings, eyelashes, artificial finger nails, high heels, spaghetti, women opening their hair while ministering, and every other things and yet, they can preach, sing very well, prophesy, perform great signs and wonder, move mountains as a prayer warrior, usher excellently and do much more. Ordinarily, you may be confused and may even conclude that God may not be interested on our physical appearance after all. My brethren, any man, any woman that have these things on his/her body WILL NEVER MAKE HEAVEN, no matter how holy such a one may think he/she is in the things of God. If you have these things on you right now, please remove them from your bodies and destroy them for your own good. Don't say you weren't warn.

Nevertheless, never you make any mistake on this matter. If you like, cover your face with your head tie, wear long skirts, wear long sleeves shirts, don't plait or weave your hair, don't wear short knickers under your long skirts, wear only flat shoes, and other decent and godly dresses, THESE ACTIONS OF YOURS ARE NEVER A TICKET FOR YOU TO MAKE HEAVEN. This is only a sign that you have had an encounter with Jesus but, never a proof that you are truly born again. You can still land in hell fire when you harbours wickedness in your heart, while covering it with a godly form of dressing and appearance on the outside.

May the Holy Spirit interpret this teaching to your heart today in Jesus name. Amen.

Remember, Jesus Christ came to set you free from the cause of death. Therefore, don't die for the sins Jesus has already paid for in full with His own blood, when He died on the cross after declaring "It is finished" John 19:30.

God bless you.
Shalom!

A Man’s Life Does Not Consists Of The Acquisition Of Wealth – Jesus Christ

A MAN’S LIFE DOES NOT CONSISTS OF THE ACQUISITION OF WEALTH – JESUS CHRIST

Text:

Luke 12:15 “And he said to them, Take care to keep yourselves free from the desire for property; for a man's life is not made up of the number of things which he has”.

1 Timothy 6:7-8. 7 “For we came into the world with nothing, and we are not able to take anything out; 8 But if we have food and a roof over us, let that be enough.”

Psalms 49:17 “For at his death, he will take nothing away; his glory will not go down after him.”

Ecclesiastes 5:15 “As he came from his mother at birth, so does he go again; he gets from his work no reward which he may take away in his hand.”

Job 1:21 “With nothing I came out of my mother's body, and with nothing I will go back there; the Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; let the Lord's name be praised.”

Proverbs 27:24 “For wealth is not for ever, and money does not go on for all generations.” (All scriptures above are taken from Bible in Basic English BBE).

Considering the various passages of the scriptures above, do you think our pastors of today who are so engrossed with acquiring wealth and fame here on earth, are ever mindful of these passages? Well, my master, Jesus Christ has instructed me in His word when He declared “But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal” Matthew 6:20. (KJV).

Very often, I do imagine how people of today especially pastors stress and teach on the acquisition of wealth as the basis of being a Christian. Some have actually interpreted Christianity to mean prosperity. This is why a lot of the preachers today have deviated from soul winning pastors and now have turned into motivational and prosperity pastors.

Wealth is good. After all, it is God that give power to get wealth Deuteronomy 8:18. It should also be noted that Job was the richest man among the men of the east and yet, he was a Christian Job 1:3. Isaac, even though a Christian, the bible declared him very great (wealth measurement) Genesis 26:13. Again, the bible speaks about David who though being a Christian, was able to lay down great wealth and the architectural master plan for his son Solomon, to build the temple God disallowed him to build 1 Chronicles 28:1-21. Solomon on the other hand was the richest man of all men at his time. Imagine a man that could offer a thousand burnt offerings in one offering alone 1 Kings 3:4, and married seven hundred wives, including three hundred concubines totaling one thousand wives 1 Kings 11:3 and yet, he declared that all was vanity Ecclesiastes 1:2. Abram, though not a Christian at the time, who later became Abraham after his encounter with God was also very rich Genesis 13:2.

Considering the vigour, interest, passion, strength, love and intensive study that our pastors of today are embracing to speak about wealth acquisition in their churches, it will lay credence to the death of true spiritual messages from their pulpit these days. No pastor today are ever bordered about the damnation that awaits the unsaved souls in their congregations, they are instead interested on the amount of money you will sow into their pockets. With the absent of the Holy Spirit in all their operation, they have now turned into motivational speakers, forcefully collecting money from their members in the name of sowing and supporting their ministries. Others have simply buried the gospel truth in their churches with the miracles, signs and wonders they are performing in drawing souls away from the Lord Jesus Christ to themselves. No wonder the church today have been described as “a business venture” by the unbelievers due largely to the high rates of pastor’s abuse of their God given grace, by turning their downtrodden members into Automated Teller Machines ATM.

Today, these pastors are now experts in economics, banking and finance, foreign and local exchange dealers in the church of Jesus Christ. No message you will see them preach now without monetizing it for their own selfish gains. They are very heartless men I must confess. Meanwhile, you can hardly hear messages from the pulpits of these pastors centered on holiness, righteousness, faith, the fear of God, purity, heaven, hell fire, rapture, virtue, sin, obedience to the word of God, evangelism/soul winning, forgiveness, restitution and other true Christian teachings. They are today concerned only about their belly, hence their continuous prophetic declaration on their members, even though these members of their have no form of relationship whatsoever with God. On Sunday morning, they are in the church appearing like saints and behaving as one. However, between Monday and Saturday, they are in the beer palours, hotels, drinking joints, entertainment centers and what have you. All these are the results of not being groomed and trained in the word of God. May God deliver you today from self seeking pastors in Jesus name. Amen.

In considering the position of God in relation to riches and wealth, the bible says “But if we have food and a roof over us, let that be enough.” 1 Timothy 6:8. (BBE). This goes to show that God is both interested on we His children getting rich but, to always be content with what we have hence 1 Timothy 6:6 “But godliness with contentment is great gain.” (KJV).

You must however remember that, those treasuring their wealth up here on earth are truly never pleased when they are told to give up for the sake of making heaven. A practical example is the reaction of the rich young man in Matthew 19:16-22, that Jesus told to sell his goods and take up his cross and follow Him. The bible said “But hearing these words the young man went away sorrowing: for he had much property.” Matthew 19:22. (BBE).

This then bring to the fore why those with great wealth whether as a pastor or any other person in the church will be very difficult to make heaven. Hear the words of Jesus Christ in respect of this citation. Matthew 19: 23-24. (BBE).

23 “And Jesus said to his disciples, TRULY I SAY TO YOU, IT IS HARD FOR A MAN WITH MUCH MONEY TO GO INTO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. 24 And again I say to you, It is simpler for a camel to go through a needle's eye, THAN FOR A MAN WITH MUCH MONEY TO GO INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD.”

As much as you desire to be rich in this world, please remember that your riches is valueless and nothing important as compared to the saving of your soul. This is why Jesus Christ our LORD asked in Mark 8:36 “For what DOTH IT PROFIT A MAN, TO GAIN THE WHOLE WORLD, AND FORFEIT HIS LIFE? 37 For WHAT SHOULD A MAN GIVE IN EXCHANGE FOR HIS LIFE?” (AVS). This is in addition to the fact the bible exposed again in 1 Timothy 6:10 “For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, FOR WHICH SOME HAVE STRAYED FROM THE FAITH IN THEIR GREEDINESS, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.” (NKJV)

Nevertheless, don’t misconstrue my position here. In 1 Timothy 6:17,the bible says “COMMAND THOSE WHO ARE RICH IN THIS PRESENT AGE NOT TO BE HAUGHTY, NOR TO TRUST IN UNCERTAIN RICHES but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy.” (NKJV). What is required of you that is very rich now is never to behave yourself as if your power brought you the wealth. You should rather be appreciative and be thankful to God that give you the wealth in the first place. If you are haughty and putting your trust on your riches, it is very obvious that destruction is close by at your door Luke 12:20.

As a rich Christian, Jesus expects you to allow your wealth to be felt by those around you and never to be conceal all by you Matthew 19:21, Mark 10:21. Even Zacchaeus, a tax collector in Luke 19:8 demonstrated that, the poor around him are accommodated in his budget. So, do you consider the poor around you as a rich pastor or your wealth is just for you, your wife and your children only, even though the very poor people in your congregation today are the ones that brought you to your current position and fame.

You are now flying over their heads in private jets and yet, they can’t even afford a bicycle tire. You are now residing in porch houses and mansions but they are still being choked up in a single room with 4, 5, 6 children. Today, the gates of the university you build with their money have been locked against them, due to the fact that you have never consider them before charging your exorbitant fees they can’t afford. You are feeding sumptuously today just like the rich man in Luke 16:19 with varieties of assorted drinks and delicious food and yet, these poor members of your congregation are daily going to bed with empty stomach. You are now one of the richest and most influential people on earth and yet, your poor members that made all these things to be possible are wallowing in abject poverty. You now accommodate a wardrobe lager than these poor members’ living rooms and yet, they are dressing tattered to your churches every day. Pastor, what do you think you doing? Unless you change your ways right now, God will judge you grievously.

As a child of God, understand that your God is rich in mercy Ephesians 2:4, and He have all things in His disposal to give whosoever that ask Him Matthew 7:11. Trust him to bless you and I assure you, you will truly be blessed with His blessings that add no sorrow Proverbs 10:22. However, YOU SHOULD NEVER FORGET THAT THE DECEITFULNESS OF RICHES CAN DESTROY THE WORD OF GOD IN YOU,hence Matthew 13:22 says “He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.” (KJV). That is the more reason the bible says we should be careful for nothing but to always make our request to God through thanksgiving Philippians 4:6.

Remember, you must have a relationship with Jesus Christ, the giver of life 1 John 5:11 and also allow His word to remain in your heart daily, in order for you to have good success Joshua 1:8. Should you delight yourself in the things of the LORD today, blessed you will be called and prosperous shall ways become Psalms 1:1-3.

God bless you today.

Shalom!

A Man’s Life Does Not Consists Of The Acquisition Of Wealth – Jesus Christ

A MAN’S LIFE DOES NOT CONSISTS OF THE ACQUISITION OF WEALTH – JESUS CHRIST

Text:

Luke 12:15 “And he said to them, Take care to keep yourselves free from the desire for property; for a man's life is not made up of the number of things which he has”.

1 Timothy 6:7-8. 7 “For we came into the world with nothing, and we are not able to take anything out; 8 But if we have food and a roof over us, let that be enough.”

Psalms 49:17 “For at his death, he will take nothing away; his glory will not go down after him.”

Ecclesiastes 5:15 “As he came from his mother at birth, so does he go again; he gets from his work no reward which he may take away in his hand.”

Job 1:21 “With nothing I came out of my mother's body, and with nothing I will go back there; the Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; let the Lord's name be praised.”

Proverbs 27:24 “For wealth is not for ever, and money does not go on for all generations.” (All scriptures above are taken from Bible in Basic English BBE).

Considering the various passages of the scriptures above, do you think our pastors of today who are so engrossed with acquiring wealth and fame here on earth, are ever mindful of these passages? Well, my master, Jesus Christ has instructed me in His word when He declared “But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal” Matthew 6:20. (KJV).

Very often, I do imagine how people of today especially pastors stress and teach on the acquisition of wealth as the basis of being a Christian. Some have actually interpreted Christianity to mean prosperity. This is why a lot of the preachers today have deviated from soul winning pastors and now have turned into motivational and prosperity pastors.

Wealth is good. After all, it is God that give power to get wealth Deuteronomy 8:18. It should also be noted that Job was the richest man among the men of the east and yet, he was a Christian Job 1:3. Isaac, even though a Christian, the bible declared him very great (wealth measurement) Genesis 26:13. Again, the bible speaks about David who though being a Christian, was able to lay down great wealth and the architectural master plan for his son Solomon, to build the temple God disallowed him to build 1 Chronicles 28:1-21. Solomon on the other hand was the richest man of all men at his time. Imagine a man that could offer a thousand burnt offerings in one offering alone 1 Kings 3:4, and married seven hundred wives, including three hundred concubines totaling one thousand wives 1 Kings 11:3 and yet, he declared that all was vanity Ecclesiastes 1:2. Abram, though not a Christian at the time, who later became Abraham after his encounter with God was also very rich Genesis 13:2.

Considering the vigour, interest, passion, strength, love and intensive study that our pastors of today are embracing to speak about wealth acquisition in their churches, it will lay credence to the death of true spiritual messages from their pulpit these days. No pastor today are ever bordered about the damnation that awaits the unsaved souls in their congregations, they are instead interested on the amount of money you will sow into their pockets. With the absent of the Holy Spirit in all their operation, they have now turned into motivational speakers, forcefully collecting money from their members in the name of sowing and supporting their ministries. Others have simply buried the gospel truth in their churches with the miracles, signs and wonders they are performing in drawing souls away from the Lord Jesus Christ to themselves. No wonder the church today have been described as “a business venture” by the unbelievers due largely to the high rates of pastor’s abuse of their God given grace, by turning their downtrodden members into Automated Teller Machines ATM.

Today, these pastors are now experts in economics, banking and finance, foreign and local exchange dealers in the church of Jesus Christ. No message you will see them preach now without monetizing it for their own selfish gains. They are very heartless men I must confess. Meanwhile, you can hardly hear messages from the pulpits of these pastors centered on holiness, righteousness, faith, the fear of God, purity, heaven, hell fire, rapture, virtue, sin, obedience to the word of God, evangelism/soul winning, forgiveness, restitution and other true Christian teachings. They are today concerned only about their belly, hence their continuous prophetic declaration on their members, even though these members of their have no form of relationship whatsoever with God. On Sunday morning, they are in the church appearing like saints and behaving as one. However, between Monday and Saturday, they are in the beer palours, hotels, drinking joints, entertainment centers and what have you. All these are the results of not being groomed and trained in the word of God. May God deliver you today from self seeking pastors in Jesus name. Amen.

In considering the position of God in relation to riches and wealth, the bible says “But if we have food and a roof over us, let that be enough.” 1 Timothy 6:8. (BBE). This goes to show that God is both interested on we His children getting rich but, to always be content with what we have hence 1 Timothy 6:6 “But godliness with contentment is great gain.” (KJV).

You must however remember that, those treasuring their wealth up here on earth are truly never pleased when they are told to give up for the sake of making heaven. A practical example is the reaction of the rich young man in Matthew 19:16-22, that Jesus told to sell his goods and take up his cross and follow Him. The bible said “But hearing these words the young man went away sorrowing: for he had much property.” Matthew 19:22. (BBE).
