Light in the Darkness (Exposing Wolves in Sheep in Clothing) - 1
The controversy of false ministries and false ministers
Many Christian believers' faith is growing cold because of false ministers. The rise of false ministries has empowered the unbelievers to break into our churches. As a leader in the body of Christ Jesus, I felt the Holy Spirit telling me to write an article on this topic. I discussed with Eric Jay Miller about false ministries and ministers. You can check the video out on my youtube channel for more profound revelation.
I read his book, The Failing Light.
It’s a powerful book. However, I disagreed with his point on women not taking
leadership positions. Aside from that point, I agree with his book. I gave his
book a four-star review on Goodreads.
I also had an audio
discussion with him. Please check out my podcast (Isaiah discussions) for more
profound revelation. People often fear corrupt leaders because of ignorance.
As Christian believers, we
are supposed to honor people. However, some ministers and leaders are using
their power to abuse their members. Most often, you will hear some ministers of
God saying touch, not the anointed.
Some “ministers of God”
use curses to create fear in their members. By God’s grace, I have worked with
some ministries. I have worked as an evangelism coordinator, prayer leader,
shepherd, and personal assistant in several churches.
I have also started
ministries with students in tertiary institutions. However, the Holy Spirit
keeps telling me to move to different locations. I have been a victim of false churches
and false ministers.
Keep reading because I
will share some of my experiences and visions with you. We live in a dark
world. Ignorance can enslave you. I honor ministers of God and their
ministries. By God’s grace, the Lord has given me special revelations
about the Holy Spirit, the anointing, the Church, and the ministers of God.
I am writing from my
experience. Secondly, I will use the Holy Bible as my foundation. The Word of
God declares that we should not touch ministers of God (see Psalms 105:5). However,
some ministers misinterpret and use this Holy Scripture to abuse their
ministerial associates.
Some have fallen from the
Christian faith. Some, too, have joined strange religious groups because of
spiritual abuse. As a matter of fact, I want to correct this error with the
Holy Scriptures, the visions received from the Holy Spirit, and my personal
experience.
Don’t let anyone deceive you.
We must expose false ministers, churches, and leaders. As stated, I respect
and honor the servants of God with all my heart. You will hardly find me
criticizing a minister of God and his ministry.
However, it is time we
speak. It is time we expose the works of false ministers and false ministries. Innocent
souls are living in bondage because of ignorance. The devil is using false
ministers and satanic leaders to initiate innocent souls.
People are living in
bondages in the spiritual realm because of ignorance. We cannot allow false
ministers and demonic ministries to deceive innocent souls. We cannot allow
false ministers and churches to taint the faithful ministries and genuine
ministers of God. Christ Jesus stated that false ministers will rise in the
last days.
The rise of false ministers and their fruits
And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
Matthew 24:11 KJV
Christ Jesus talked about
the last days. In his speech, he said false prophets shall rise to deceive
many. As we can see, we are in the last days. False ministers are deceiving
innocent souls. They use evil powers and dark psychology to control their members.
These ministers take over
the assets of their members. We are in the last days. In these last days, false
apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers will rise. False
Christian believers will increase to destroy the sheep.
This is a decreed
prophecy. This prophecy should alert us that false ministers and ministries are
working. These ministers and leaders seduce their members. They fornicate with
the members and use them for sacrifice.
These ministers are
charlatans. We cannot allow false ministers and satanic leaders to corrupt the
Church. We are in the harvest season. We are the reapers because the Holy
Spirit lives in us. The Holy Spirit will give us the wisdom to separate the
tares from the wheat (meditate on Matthew 13:24-30).
What does the Holy Bible say about false prophets?
For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew
great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall
deceive the very elect.
Matthew 24:24 KJV
Christ Jesus stated that
false prophets will produce great signs and wonders in the last days. However,
there are genuine ministers of God working miracles. False ministers create
fake miracles.
They perform fake
miracles to attract members. Christ Jesus stated that these false leaders will
claim to be the Messiah. They will take the position of our Savior and Lord Christ
Jesus. Another shocking truth is that these false ministries can deceive true
Christian believers and churches.
Child of God, it is time
to watch and pray because false ministers are in the system. Some are online.
They use fraudulent schemes to steal people’s hard-earned money. Their goal,
mission, vision, and purpose are to get your money and assets.
False ministers and
ministries have no pleasure in you. They are not concerned about you and your family.
These ministers don’t care about your eternal life. All they want is temporal
assets. Christ Jesus has warned us through the Holy Scriptures that we must be
watchful and prayerful (see Matthew 26:41). Keep reading; I will share some
visions I had about some ministers of God and their ministries.
How to detect wolves in sheep clothing
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but
inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or
figs of thistles?
Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree
bringeth forth evil fruit.
A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt
tree bring forth good fruit.
Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast
into the fire.
Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
Matthew 7:15-20 KJV
Christ Jesus stated that
we should be careful of false prophets (apostles, evangelists, pastors, and
teachers). These people act as angels of light. They pretend to be faithful
servants of God. However, they are deceivers (meditate on 2 Corinthians 11:14).
False ministers are
wolves in sheep's clothing. Outwardly, they pretend to be humble, loving,
joyful, patient, and faithful. However, deep within, they are wicked,
unforgiving, bitter, dangerous, poisonous, and disastrous.
I know them in the
spiritual realm. Some are actively working. We cannot associate with such
ministers and their ministries. Christ Jesus stated that we shall know them by
their fruits. In other words, we shall know false ministers and churches by
their teachings, followers, and close associates.
We shall know false
ministers by their words and actions. They use sweet words to lure women and
weak-minded people. Christ Jesus stated that we shall know them by their
fruits. A good tree cannot produce corrupt fruits.
In the context of the
Holy Scripture, the tree stands for the ministry and the minister. The fruit
stands for the personality of the person, place, and people. There is no way a
good tree will produce corrupt fruits.
Genuine ministers have
true friends and associates. True churches have numerous faithful church
members. However, false ministries are full of corrupt members and leaders.
False ministries have numerous carnal and religious members without fellowship
with the Holy Spirit. However, faithful churches have members who love the
Word, obey the Word, and associate with the Holy Spirit.
The behavior of deceptive ministers (wolves in sheep's clothing)
For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially
they of the circumcision:
Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things
which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.
One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The
Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.
This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound
in the faith;
Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn
from the truth.
Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are
defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and
conscience is defiled.
They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him,
being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
Titus 1:10-16 KJV
Apostle Paul wrote about
true and false ministers to one of his ministerial associates (Titus). In his
letter, he pointed out that many disobedient, deceptive wolves act as sheep
(pastors). Apostle Paul stated that we must shut them up.
These ministers teach
false doctrines (heresies). They give all kinds of spiritual directions to rub
people’s assets. These ministers prophesy falsely. They take advantage of the
rich and weak members.
Apostle Paul stated that
we must rebuke them strictly. Child of God, it is time to shut the mouth of
false ministers. We must rebuke and expose their wickedness, or they will
deceive innocent souls.
False ministers prey on
weak members. If we don’t expose and rebuke them, they will not repent. Failure
to shut them up will extend their errors and create religious unbelievers.
Innocent souls will perish in the lake of fire if we don’t expose their evil
works.
False Christians will
increase if we fail to shut down these false leaders, misleading innocent
souls. Why are you silent if the Holy Bible commands us to rebuke and expose
false ministers and ministries?
Get me right. I am not
endorsing enemies (unbelievers) who destroy the Church and God’s chosen
ministers with destructive criticism and evil powers. I am striving for
perfection. I may make a mistake.
However, it doesn’t mean
that I am false. Our responsibility is to correct faithful servants of God if
we discover they are deviating. However, some false ministers and ministries
intentionally create false doctrines to destroy the body of Christ.
These people do not teach
from the Holy Scriptures. These people use demonic powers to control the Church.
These are the people the Holy Bible commands us to rebuke with all our heart
and strength.
As stated, I will share
some visions with you. I will also share some of my experiences with false
ministers and their ministries to help you understand the works of these wolves
in sheep's clothing.
The works of false ministers and ministries
Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things
cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
Be not ye therefore partakers with them.
For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the
Lord: walk as children of light:
(For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and
righteousness and truth;)
Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but
rather reprove them.
For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them
in secret.
But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for
whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
Ephesians 5:6-12 KJV
In his letters to the
Church in Ephesus, Apostle Paul emphasized that we should not have fellowship
with false ministers and ministries. These ministers walk in darkness. They
have no connection with the Holy Spirit.
Apostle Paul wrote that
we should not partake in such ministries. Paul further stated that we should
rebuke them. Why are you endorsing false ministers and churches? Why are
fellowshipping with false ministries?
The Holy Bible states
that we should disengage from false ministries. Don’t partake in their
fornication, corruption, carnality, and wickedness. These ministers do wicked
things in the secret. They sacrifice to demonic spirits.
These ministers and
leaders operate on demonic altars. They worship mammon. They act like God
Almighty. They don’t want anybody to correct their errors. These ministers
fornicate with people’s wives and husbands.
In secret, they are
occultists, lesbians, gays, criminals, and killers. We cannot associate with
such ministers and their ministries because the Holy Bible commands us to
disconnect. The Holy Bible commands us to rebuke them.
We must expose their
wickedness so others will not fall prey. As a child of light, you should not
equally yoke with darkness. The Holy Spirit cannot fellowship with darkness
(meditate on 2 Corinthians 6:14-18). Are you associating with dark ministers
and ministries? Escape before you end up in the lake of fire.
The boldness to rebuke corrupt leaders
For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in
prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife.
For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.
Matthew 14:3-14 KJV
Herod bound John the
Baptist in prison because John the Baptist rebuked him. Herod was a Roman
leader. However, John the Baptist rebuked him for his wickedness. Today, some
people tag you as proud and disobedient when you expose the evil of corrupt leaders.
John the Baptist did not
fear Herod. He rebuked Herod for his fornication and wickedness. John the
Baptist knew the evil of Herod. However, he rebuked him. It is time to rebuke
corrupt leaders.
Rebuking an evil leader
is not pride. When we keep silent in the face of wickedness, the corrupt
leaders will continue in their sins. However, when we rebuke them, they will
repent. One thing about the human mind is that it can act strangely if not straightened.
Failure to criticize and
rebuke corrupt leaders and people of power can make them think they are
almighty (untouchable). If we don’t correct corrupt leaders, they will fall.
The people under them, too, will perish.
However, they will repent
if we criticize them for their error and wickedness. As John the Baptist
rebuked Herod, we must also rebuke wicked leaders. I can compare Herod’s position
to a president.
John the Baptist did not
fear the position of Herod. He rebuked him. Herod was wicked. He did not fear
God. However, John Baptist rebuked him. It is time to rebuke corrupt
politicians, prophets, managers, pastors, evangelists, apostles, and leaders
mismanaging the Church and resources.
If we rebuke them, they
will repent. However, don’t condemn faithful servants of God. Don’t rain your
bitterness on innocent ministers of God. Doing that can attract the judgment of
God. Be led by the Holy Spirit and the Word (the Holy Bible).
Do you know that Christ
Jesus rebuked the religious people in his time? Yes, Christ Jesus faced the
religious hypocrites to their face. He rebuked the corrupt Pharisees, Sadducees,
Sanhedrin, Scribes, Jews, and professing leaders for their errors. Why are you
silent? It is time to speak up. Speak if the vessel has breached the Holy
Bible.
Withdraw from corrupt leaders.
If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even
the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to
godliness;
He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of
words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the
truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
1 Timothy 6:3-5 KJV
Apostle Paul wrote in his
letters to Timothy that we must not respond to false doctrines. Paul stated that
false ministers are proud. False minister’s sermons create confusion, conflict,
and calamity.
False ministers don’t preach the truth. They delight in money because they think money is the only way to increase. These ministers have no fear of God. They oppose the Holy Bible. Apostle Paul stated that we must withdraw from any man who does not teach from the Holy Scriptures. Don’t be overrighteous. The Holy Bible says that we must disconnect from leaders who teach doctrines not found in the Holy Bible.
- Why are you fellowshipping with congregations that do not preach and teach from the Holy Bible?
- Why are you fellowshipping with congregations that misinterpret the Holy Bible?
- Why are fellowshipping with churches and ministers who hate the truth (holiness, true salvation, righteousness, sanctification, and purity of life)?
- Why are fellowshipping with congregations that dine with the devil?
- Why are you fellowshipping with congregations that reject the divinity of Christ Jesus?
- Why do you fellowship with Churches that believe Christ Jesus is not God Almighty?
- Why do you fellowship with Churches that believe Christ Jesus is one of God's creation (angels)?
- Why are you fellowshipping with dead congregations?
It is time to dissociate
from false Christians who walk and live outside the principles of the Word (the
Holy Bible). Your salvation is important!
Some visions about some false ministers and ministries
I promised to share some
visions about some false ministers and churches. Before I share these visions
and experiences with false ministers with you, remember that the Holy Spirit
reveals hidden things.
You can download my
series of books for more profound revelations (the books
are free on my blog). The Holy Spirit speaks to us in several ways. One of the ways
he speaks to us is through dreams. Freely download and read my book on my blog,
How to Hear the Voice of the Holy
Spirit,
for
more profound revelations.
In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men,
in slumberings upon the bed;
Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction,
That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from
man.
He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by
the sword.
Job 33:15-18 KJV
Do not joke with your
dreams because the Holy Spirit speaks to us through this channel. As the Holy
Scriptures state, the Holy Spirit opens our spiritual senses in a dream. The
Holy Spirit speaks to us in the vision of the night. He speaks to us in a deep
sleep mood.
In the season of deep
sleep, we encounter the spiritual realm. I recommend reading my book, Understanding
the Language of the Spirit,
Visions of the Night, and other prophetic (visionary) books for more
profound revelation. You can also
connect with my teachings on dreams on youtube for deeper revelations.
The vision of the two gospel ministers
Let’s get back to the
visions. The Lord showed me in a dream two gospel ministers. One was from
Nigeria, and the other was from the United States of America (USA). Both of
them are fair in complexion.
They are very famous. One
of them has several branches across the globe. The one from Nigeria emphasizes
grace, while the other emphasizes the Holy Spirit. I have had some dreams about
them, and that was good.
However, this dream about
them was profound. I saw these two gospel ministers standing under a mountain.
They were smiling and conversing. Suddenly, I saw on a hill many bones
scattered abroad. This was the mountain the two ministers stood under.
Initially, I did not understand the dream. However, the Holy Spirit explained
it to me using the Holy Scriptures.
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto
whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full
of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.
Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are
full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
Matthew 23:27-28 KJV
The Lord said these two
ministers act like the Pharisees. They are hypocrites. Outwardly, they looked
holy and humble. However, within are full of iniquity. These men sin in secret
places. People under their ministries are perishing.
Until these ministers
repent and teach the true Word, they will perish with their members. By God’s grace,
I have had spiritual and physical encounters with over fifty ministers of God,
prominent leaders, and churches.
In the next article, I
will share some of my encounters and experiences with false ministers and
further prove from the Holy Scriptures why we must rebuke, restrict, and reject
false ministers and ministries.
Watch and pray because we are in the last days. Don’t fall prey to the wolves in sheep's clothing. Kindly share the link to this article so others can receive deliverance. You can connect with my teachings for more profound revelations.
