Fake Prophets Be Like....
This video on instagram… both
hilarious and truth laden! Got me laughing and got me pensive.
People are so desperate, and
desperate people run from the simple solutions to the complicated, because less
is more is a farce, but more is a more convincing truth and we have people who
have risen to the occasion to take advantage of this situation, preying on the
poor poor humans. The self-acclaimed prophets with the same job description as
the psychics. We look for a quick fix, ‘magic’
in church that we run from the main deal… The word! We run to the sideshows,
the circus houses where ‘magic’ is displayed and as long as there is deliverance
‘drama’ playing out, we’re good. We
don’t care to discern if the Spirit of God resides in that house, because we
can’t discern in the first place because we have refused to know the word for
ourselves. We’re sold to the prophets who can tell us our eyes are brown and
our mothers are females.
We’re in the last days talked
about in the bible “in confusion, the
lying preachers will come forward and deceive a lot of people” Matthew
24:11(MSG)
The other day I read a story
of a preacher in SA making his congregation eat grass, the same preacher who
stomped on their backs, who made them eat pieces of clothes and the same who
made some swallow a live snake. I ask why would they go there? Because the magic
that happens there is enough to captivate them and convince them that they
should do what he says, because he prophesied that they have eyes to see, or
something as captivating as that.
Right here in Nigeria, most
houses have their TV tuned to a certain prophet 24hrs. I’m not judging, I have
people close to me sold out to this psychic/prophet. Do I hear the word been
preached and when I do, do I HEAR the word been preached? Do I see a Spirit
filled man? No, all I see is drama, drama so intriguing, that even with my
stance as a Spirit filled woman, I get drawn into the show… where the demons
entertain us real good with stories that touch, and members of the congregation
left intrigued and clapping profusely. Nollywood, watch out for part 5!
Driving into Abuja, you see
all sorts of billboards of prophets, and right beside their shinning smiling
faces are Nollywood stars… Okon, mama G etc to add flava to the service of the
day, those handbills and billboard cement the fact that you’re in for one hell
of a live Nollywood show. These churches are filled to the overflow… why are we
so easily swayed?
Why do we let bad dreams make
us foolish and afraid? Why can’t we pray against them? What happened to taking
authority? Because we haven’t read the word to understand just how powerful we
are. We need our pastors, but any pastor who makes you dependent on him is a
suspect. If he doesn’t try to stir you towards maturing in your walk with
Christ, and always has a prophecy for
you, then….
Suya nights and koboko nights
are not going to kill your enemies/afflictions…
Telling you that someone tied
your womb isn’t going to give you a child… the word of God is! Jesus is the
answer, so even if your prophet is a professor of prophecy, is he isn’t giving
you a solution in the word to the said problem? Or is he demanding a fee? If
yes, then you’re just in a magic show house, a circus ring, and a clown in the
drama unfolding for the congregation. O, and if you have to pay for every
information of doom to be spelt out for you, with no solution, I’m so sorry darling,
so sorry that your mind had to be so washed up. Wake up from this sleep
sleeping beauty. Let Jesus kiss you awake, and be awake to His word, to the
life found in the word. Wake up and break free from this deception.
insightful post. Nice one!
