When Captors Masquerade As Deliverers.

By Ninyo Omidiji. 

A peasant who becomes wealthy through "ministry"/church planting or pastoring, and a peasant who turns wealthy through politics, are both birds of a feather. They are both parasites and leeches,  enlarging at the expense of the system they are supposed to help feed and build. 

They both leave victims/casualties in their wake. And their victims have many things in common. They have been deceived,  but they do not know it. They are ignorant, but they parade themselves as informed. They have been sold a dummy.  They do not even know that they are victims. 

 Sadly,  it is easier to fool a people, than to convince them that they have been fooled. History has proven this time and time again.

Wealth has never been the goal of doing ministry, not the ministry of the kingdom of God. Definitely not the gospel. Neither should you join politics to become rich,  but to serve. Anyone who becomes rich through politics is a thief, confirmed! 

The victims of these shenanigans are the most amusing and ridiculous in the same breath..... They spend their time,  energy and resources to defend the same villains that have turned them to victims.  The victims would rather quarrel and attack themselves than take on their vilians, stand toe to toe with them and declare "enough is enough".  

Meanwhile, their villians, the politicians and "pastor-prenuers" hardly quarrel. And if you are discerning, and you use your head dispassionately,  you would know that, as a matter of fact,  they are partners in progress. One is bringing tithe, seed and offering to the table,  the other is offering prayers. 

“Unspeakable! Sickening! What’s happened in this country? Prophets preach lies and priests hire on as their assistants. AND MY PEOPLE LOVED IT. They eat it up! But what will you do when it’s time to pick up the pieces?”
Jeremiah 5:30‭-‬31 MSG

This is the bane of the African continent.  This is the story of my country, Nigeria. This is why we found ourselves in this quargmire. 

Until people get enlightened and deliver themselves from these captors masquerading as deliverers,  Nigeria,  indeed the whole of Africa will remain a sorry sight.  

You shall know the truth,  and the truth will make you free.  But it will piss you off, first....

False Assertions About Sin. Part 6.

False Assertions Addressed By John.  (3.) "If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us."  1 John 1:10. This is the third false assertion about sin, which John the apostle dealt with. I know you must have heard some preachers/christians today teaching that the new creation man does not have a past; that the new creation man is not the man that Christ died for, that the new creation is not the redeemed for he never existed prior to his birth in Christ. I was once in a service in 2001 when a renown preacher/televangelist, in a bid to demonstrate and pass across this teaching, brought out two men, and put one of them infront and said that is the sinner, that is the man that Christ died for, the man that was redeemed; he can sing: 'Amazing grace...that saved a wretch like me'; he can sing the songs of redemption.  He then led the second man out and said that is the new creation man, the man who has no past; that is

Who Is A Man Of God? Part 1.

The Man Of God Or The Man Of Himself.  A very thin line exists between a man of God and a man of himself. Many today are called men of God but they are men of themselves or men of the people. They speak of themselves, represent their own interests and concerns, even in the things of God. It's high time we defined who a man of God is. The general tendency we have is to refer to people as men of God, simply because they carry the bible and preach or because they set up a religious organisation, and have a building where they use a microphone to speak to a congregation. There's also the tendency to think that those called into the word ministry like apostles, prophets, teachers, evangelists and pastors, are automatically constituted men of God. The appellation or designation 'man of God' was not carelessly used in scriptures, and should not be carelessly used by any bible believer. Scriptures scarcely referred to men as 'men of God', thus we should be c

GREATEST ENCOUNTERS FROM THE PAGES OF THE BIBLE.

GREATEST ENCOUNTERS FROM THE PAGES OF THE BIBLE.  By Dipo Ecclesia When I gave my heart to Jesus as a teenager and later staggered in faith, I became agnostic and showed complete apathy to the things of the spirit and I stopped going to church. I began to doubt everything about  Christianity and the bible and will try hard to argue the bible logically with anybody I see. After some years (Five years precisely), there was this strong and serious desire for me to seek God again (I actually embraced Islam at a point but just didn't practice). The desire to seek God was so strong and compelling that it became a struggle with me and the Lord before I finally yielded and bent to the will of the Lord and was restored. Back then I made up my mind that if there is really a Living God and since I HAVE JUST ONE LIFE, then I want to know Him myself before I die and not just what preachers have being telling me, in fact I asked God to show Himself to me and He did by some encounter
