The greatest threat to the existence of the Church is Jesus Christ Himself. Seriously. All other problems pale in comparison.

Observe, if the church has abandoned her first love, her lampstand of testimony will be removed by Christ. To a church who holds to the demonic delusion of Prosperity in its greed for gain, Jesus will make war against them with His sharp two-edged sword.

And that’s not all. To a church that tolerates false prophetesses of immorality and idolatrous traditional practices, Christ will cast those spiritual adulterers into great tribulation and kill their children with death.

Alarmed yet? You should be. But He is not finished. To a deluded church who imagines they are alive in their outward religious propriety but are actually stone-cold dead within, Christ will descend upon them like a thief in the night.

And to crown it all, to a lukewarm nauseating congregation of affluent and complacent self-satisfied fools, the Lord Jesus Christ will vomit them out of His mouth.

I’m not making this up. Read it for yourself in Revelation 2 & 3. It’s there. Christ Jesus the Lord is our greatest threat to the continued existence of the church in Nigeria.

Lacking fervent devotion to the Lord Jesus Christ, prostituting herself with lusting after Prosperity, and tolerating prophetesses of immorality while absorbing traditional thinking and practices: is it so small a matter?

Yet the church proceeds in its delusion: unconcerned, shameless and without regret. She continues to boast of being alive as week after week her performing pageants are re-enacted though the stench of death hovers over it all.

The sows wash themselves, mask their foul odor with perfumes, enter magnificent pigsty cathedrals, and perform according to the dictates of the General Overseeing Hog, grunting along upon his every cue. When this travesty of “worship” has ended, the sows find their way back to their own mud-holes and return to wallowing in the mire until the following Sunday’s charade.

Do you protest at such a revolting and insulting indictment? You may register your complaint with the Apostle Peter: “With eyes full of adultery, they never stop sinning; they seduce the unstable; they are experts in greed – an accursed brood! For by speaking great swelling words of emptiness, they entice through the lusts of the flesh, by sensuality, those who barely escape from those who live in error.

“Although these false teachers promise them freedom, they themselves are slaves of corruption. For if, after they have escaped the filthy things of the world through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and are again entangled in them and overcome, the last state has become worse than the first.

“It has happened to them according to the true proverb: ‘A sow, after washing, returns to wallowing in the mire.’” You can send your complaint to: 2 Peter 2:14-22. Jesus Christ Himself will answer you.

“You are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked!” –Revelation 3:17.

“It is time for judgment to begin with the house of God” –1 Peter 4:17. The only ones spared are those who “sigh and groan over all the abominations which are being committed in its midst” –Ezekiel 9:4. “And you shall begin at My sanctuary” –Ezekiel 9:6. Jesus Christ is our greatest threat.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think we are lost. We are preaching a Doctrine of Demons, pursuing it by Satanic Means, while Praying to the Devil. Yeah, we’re definitely lost. Deception could not get any more thorough than this.

Observe, if we imagine that “godliness” is a means to financial gain, we’re definitely lost. “Men of corrupt mind who are destitute of the truth think that godliness is a way of making profit” –1Timothy 6:5.

Becoming religious to become rich: Now that’s decidedly demonic. Didn’t Jesus drive those out of His Father’s house with a whip of cords? Pretty sure He did. If Prosperity has its hook in your heart, you’ve already swallowed this Doctrine of Demons hook, line, and sinker: Utter ruin and wrath await.

“Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a snare and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in ruin and destruction. For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil, and some by longing after it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows” –1 Timothy 6:9,10. Thinking, wanting, lustfully desiring, loving: these are all matters of the heart.

“Breakthrough, Promotion, Divine Destiny, Uplifting, Success, Hundredfold Return, Prosperity:” all qualify to pave your way to Hell. Yet we still preach Prosperity, but it is a Doctrine of Demons.

And we avidly pursue it by the Satanic Means of Positive Confession. Satan is its inventor. Yes, Positive Confession is devilish, even from days immemorial. “O Lucifer…you said in your heart: ‘I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God…I will sit on the mount of the assembly…I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the Most High’” –Isaiah 14:12-14.

That is the origin of this Satanic Means of Positive Confession. But it didn’t work then and it doesn’t work now. Here is the Lord’s reply to Satan’s positive confession: “The Lord has broken the staff of the wicked…you have fallen from heaven…you have been cut down to the earth…you will be thrust down to Hell, to the sides of the pit” –Isaiah 14:5,12,15. Nevertheless, the devil still uses it, even against the Lord Jesus. “Since You are the Son of God, Command that these stones become bread!” –Matthew 4:3.

“Command, Decree, Confess, Claim, Speak the Word of Faith, Prophesy into your life:” These are Satanic Means. Believing that your spoken word has creative power is devilish. But it is what we do.

The final crown of dung in this trilogy of demonic delusion is that we now Pray to the Devil. “I want you to come against every principality and power; begin to take dominion in the spiritual realms.” And then like one monstrous machine, grinding and groaning, hundreds of heads begin to shake and the auditorium breaks into a cacophony of pandemonium as warriors raise their battle cries.

“I bind! I cast out! I destroy! I come against! Every witch and wizard: every principality and power: Die! Die! Die! Holy Ghost: Fire! Holy Ghost: Fire!” And the acrobatics repeat meeting after meeting.

The devil isn’t bound: “Your adversary the devil prowls about like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour” –1 Peter 5:8. Witches and wizards are still flying. Fornication has not ceased. We are deceived.

We no longer pray to the Father in heaven; we have turned to shouting at evil spirits. With crowns of tinsel and swords of straw, we take dominion in our shadow kingdoms of sand. But the Sword of the Spirit, the Word of God, lies rusty, unused, under mounds of rubbish in our homes and sanctuaries.

And the devil is amused while heaven weeps. That’s where we are. We are lost.
