It is with a very heavy heart that I write this article, but unfortunately the secular world has entered the body of Christ defiling it in the most hideous manner. I am literally appalled to read some of the words, curses and other blasphemies some of the websites get. These websites expose the errors within the Church. I am grateful for that and I find them very courageous to go out there exposing themselves. But these are the true warriors for Christ, who get hid, maltreated and backstabbed. Many Christians agree with them but do not dare to utter their opinions for fear of getting the whole load of criticism.
Dear friends, we need to realize that NOT every ministry that portrays itself to be “Christian” is Christian indeed. Many people only utilize Jesus and His Word to get to the big bugs, because whether you like it or not, evangelism is big business today! And Mammon has entered the Church for good, not going to leave it. I myself have had such an encounter not long ago. I ordered a set of books some months ago, which I had to pay in advance but have not been delivered up to this day. And when you complain to this so called Christian Ministry they get very offended. They are wrong but you get the blame.
Needless to say that this ministry is not complying with my order and that my money is gone. This is just one of the many examples out there of dubious ministries who sell all kinds of so called Christian goods but do not give the right example. When you complain you get expulsed, when you tell them your opinion they get offended. Why? Because their motive is wrong! Their only motive is Mammon. Many Christian Ministries are out there to get hold of your money. Many claim to be experts at Spiritual warfare or at Freemasonry because the truth is those are the items within Christian Society that are hot and thus sell. But not all the items are Christian! Not all the teachings they give is Christian! Remember that.
A powerful weapon that has entered the Church today is witchcraft. Not only in the literal form but also spiritual witchcraft such as rebellion, idolatry etc. The hunger of these pastors is such that they are never filled. Many churches today suffer due to these kinds of people who only want power and money. How many churches are not contesting between each other to be the biggest, the most popular or to be the one that goes on TV? Countless! In the process they destroy not only themselves but the whole congregation. Christian fundamentals are easily forgotten when greedy people enter the Church. Many people within the Church do not make much effort to read the Bible and are thus easily deceived.
There are and I have to say to my great pleasure more and more honest Ministries arising that are exposing these kinds of heresies within the Church. They do not do this to hurt the churches but to expose their lies and in this way trying to protect you. We need to understand this. They are not out there to discredit anybody, they are out there because of a true sincerity of heart to expose the lies within the Church. Jesus himself told us:
“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”(Mt 24:24)
Friends, these ministries are only doing what Jesus told them to do. Expose the lies and the wolves that would be within the Church! That is what all Christians should do, because these kinds of ministries bring shame to the body of Christ. They defile it with their wrong teachings and their wrong handlings. Instead of teaching Christian fundamentals they are exposing themselves as part of Satan’s kingdom by offensive behavior, unforgiving behavior and many by using witchcraft to place curses on their exposés. That is utterly un-Christian! To my dismay I have found many, many Christians cursing these websites in a totally un-Christian way! Did you not know what Jesus himself taught us about this practice?
“But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you”(Mt 5:44)
What are you then doing by placing curses on these websites? Have you not read your Bible? Do you not feel shame to call yourself a Christian while cursing another Christian? Why are you so offended by what these people write? As a Christian you ought to forgive, slow to anger and ready to forgive. Every person has the right to their own opinion, you do not need to accept that if you disagree with that opinion. But to curse?! That is utterly wicked and un-Christian. Did you know that you are actually using Satan’s weapon against a Christian? Do you know that on Judgment Day God will judge you for that? Everybody is entitled to their opinion, but nobody should get cursed because of exposing their opinion! How can we effectively enhance the Kingdom of Heaven if we are so divided within the Church, showing the secular world what kind of fleshy Christians we really are? Have you thought about that?
As Christians, as followers of Christ, we ought to honor Him, for it is Him that we are representing. Every time we curse, or place a curse or hate, or cheat on each other we shame ourselves and we disgrace His precious gospel. How will we ever evangelize successfully if the secular world can point at us and accuse us of greediness, hatred, slander, etc? Think about that for a while. Another point of consideration you ought to have is this. Not every ministry is what it portrays to be! Not all are Christian, and these people are putting much in line here to expose these ministries for your benefit. Jesus said that many false preachers would enter the Church in the last days, and many, even the very elect would be deceived.
Now here is something that you should consider. Ministries that promise you increase (30,60,90%) whenever you tithe into them, are wrong! These are the principles of witchcraft. Only God can multiply and a minister can never multiply nor manipulate God into doing what he is selling to his audience. Think about it. Have you ever thought about why these people go on about tithing into their ministry on an endless basis? Every time you hear them, the subject comes up. Simple, because they do NOT trust God to provide for them. These ministers claim to know the Word of God that says “But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus”(Phil. 4:19.
Don’t you agree with me that it is of utter importance that these are exposed? For you to be saved? For you to walk with God as God intented it to be? Even though you do not agree with them or with me for that manner, you ought to pray for them and respect them. Love them for they are your brothers and sisters in Christ. If you are a true Christian do what Jesus told you to do. Do not let the devil get a hold of you and curse these sights. You only bring disgrace and shame upon yourself!
Have you had an experience with Christians treating you badly or cursing you? Write to us, we would like to hear from you.
