Offences must come, but woe to those through whom those offences come.
We see preachers of the gospel, both the orthodox and Pentecostal preachers, getting involved in different sex scandals. We keep talking about them whenever they fall, without remembering those who lure them into it.
I know some preachers are exceptionally randy and without self-control, but there are some who are disciplined and dedicated to their calling. The randy ones are all over the place looking for vulnerable women and men to take advantage of.
I am going to start with those reckless ones who use their positions to destroy people. When I talk about preachers, I am talking, not just about the male pastors and reverend fathers, but also the female preachers. The female preachers have become more desperate and gullible than the men. I donâ€
This same bishop took a memberâ€
Now let me go to the male folk because this article is meant to warn you and open your eyes to their antics. As usual, many are going to kick against this but I donâ€
We go to church most times with a good heart to serve God, but the fact is that truth is far from many places of worship. I have come to realise that many Nigerians today go to church just to please their priest. We are no longer after God, but the priest. This has left us struggling so much and destroying others just for manâ€
Now, let me go back to the main issues for today. In the midst of these wolves in sheepâ€
Like I said in the conference I had with youths last Saturday, it takes a devilish seductress to turn a man to a piece of bread. Look at what is happening in the world today; Dominique Strauss-Khan, Bill Clinton, Jimmy Swaggart, Arnold Swarzenegger, Tiger Woods and lots of them. It didnâ€
As I said, there are men who are sold out to the service of God and they follow God in all sincerity. These ones devote themselves to their calling, but I have also seen a good number of them destroyed by women. I remember the man who God used to change the life of my father as a youth. This man spent so much to preach the gospel. He gave scholarship and renovated houses for people just for them to leave idol worship for the church.
I am always careful when it comes to all these televised miracles we see on television because they are not all real. Donâ€
The devil is wicked, so we say it and he really is. This manâ€
A day came that the secretary went into this manâ€
The news of her pregnancy was soon all over the place. The congregation scattered, he left his family and relocated to Japan with the evil woman and her child. It was a very tough time for the poor woman and her children. After about seven years of life with his strange woman, he came back to his senses after a long period of talk and prayers from my dad. He is back to his wife and children, but the ministry is gone.
This is just an example of what women do to great men. I remember seeing dedicated single girls in church secretly become wives to some Catholic priests. These ones are always present in every church activity and belong to every society in church. Majority of them are there as agents of darkness to pull the priest down.
They are more desperate in the Pentecostal churches especially here in Lagos. One thing that has aided their operations is the inability of the pastors to curtail the excesses when it comes to dressing. Sometimes it looks like some of our pastors enjoy seeing naked women around them because I donâ€
I donâ€
What about the choristers? They have suddenly become houses to the devil and his agents. These ones sing and do their acrobatics so well that everybody thinks they are slain in the spirit. The truth is that a good number of them do those things for the pastor. Havenâ€
You may not believe this, but these pastors go through a lot of pressure from women. I am not talking about single ladies alone, the married ones are worse. A pastor told me how a married woman with five children entered his office and looking straight into his eyes said, “I must sleep with you whether you like it or notâ€.
When you see them very committed in churches, they know exactly what they were sent for. Their mission is to pull down the preacher.
Ladies, I know some of us get carried away and suddenly you find yourself falling in love with him. I know some are lured into it by these fake pastors and priests who use the name of God to perpetrate evil. I know we have a lot of dogs in the house of God. But that doesnâ€
Ladies, please stop wearing those things you wear to church. Please stop going to kneel for communion when you know your boobs are falling out of the covering with some tattoos printed on them. Stop sticking out your tongue to them while they preach. We donâ€
Some of you get these pastors to raise unnecessary offerings just because they must pay your bills. We keep crucifying their wives for being greedy, but the truth is that some of them donâ€
If you are an agent of darkness, Godâ€
I think Muslims understand this better than Christians. I am not saying we should start covering ourselves to the face. I know your job makes you dress like a common prostitute because you must get a customer or be sacked. I know you use your painted eyes to lure men into it and then get them to deposit all with you. Please reduce the make-up when itâ€
Let us help our pastors and priests to serve God better and be more useful to us.
