The Supposed Men and Women of God, Especially Those in Nigeria, Should Please Slow Down; You’re Ruining More Lives Than You Can Imagine.
Aspiring to become a “charismatic motivational speaker” may not be a bad idea if that’s your choice; however, if your religious business camp’s Bible classes subtly teach you how to lie in your messages to motivate your congregation, you may have an integrity problem right there.
For instance, what I am about to say is not to be arrogant, or to teach anyone to disobey constituted authority. However, if anyone has concluded that Jesus Christ’s way is the way they will follow for the rest of their lives, they also need to realize that there will be a time when they must courageously stand alone by what they believe, without expecting applause from the crowd.
Let us assume President Donald Trump issues an order requiring anyone who uses a name other than his signature name, “Trump,” to submit documents proving their citizenship. What do you expect a believer in Christ to do: obey Trump or lose their citizenship?
Believers in Christ, once the line of supremacy is drawn, you don’t need scripture like “wisdom is profitable to direct” to start writing an “at your service” poem to President Donald Trump for leniency, so he thinks that person is with him. That will be a waste of time. Why? Because Christians already know where God stands on every matter; what sensitive Christians need in such a situation is the courage and boldness to gather all of Trump’s documents and deliver them to whoever or wherever he has assigned for collection. BUT THAT IS PAINFUL, YES! IT WOULD BE, BUT YOU MUST ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT DOING THE RIGHT THING IS ALWAYS A HARD CHOICE AND PAINFUL, ESPECIALLY FOR CHRIST’S FOLLOWERS.
A passage in Matthew 10 came up in Jesus’ conversations; perhaps you are familiar with it. It’s a passage where Jesus Christ said, “Do not suppose I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have come not to bring peace, but a sword.” It was, and is, a strong statement that many people often try to water down when interpreting it; however, Jesus Christ meant what he said. Many motivational speakers intend to motivate people rather than speak the truth of Jesus Christ and allow God to intervene, and that stems from a love of money. Therefore, worldly people’s “sponsors” dictate the tunes. “If you tell us what we want to hear, in return, we will guarantee you our support to build your ‘Redemption camp and Canaanland business centers.”
Keep this in your conscious mind: the truth of God will not come out; that camouflaging of truth will not be threatened. For example, “Pastor, is homosexuality okay?” Yes or No? Your story of two helicopters that collided in Japan, with two men attempting to separate them to avoid answering a simple question, is not only comical but also deceptive and hypocritical. These are some of the attitudes of motivational speakers.
Perhaps you are a motivational speaker; good luck to you; however, once the motivated individuals leave your manipulative tithe-increment payment assembly and erroneous Isaac’s seed-sowing motivational conference camps and return to their respective destinations without the Holy Spirit’s conviction, be assured that the absolute truth will still confront them in the real world.
The truth is that delving into the truth is very dangerous to anyone’s calling, but there is no shortcut to answering God’s call. However, for anyone who has decided to continually stand for the truth of Jesus Christ by exposing long-hidden and antiquated lies, stepping on toes is inevitable.
“So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves… Jesus asked the twelve apostles, “Do you want to leave too?” Simon Peter answered Jesus, “Lord, where would we go? You have the things that give life forever. We believe in you. We know that you are the Holy One from God.” John 6
WERE THEY DISAPPOINTED IN JESUS CHRIST’S MINISTRATION? YES, THEY WERE. IF YOU ARE CHRIST FOLLOWERS, BE REST ASSURED THAT MANY PEOPLE WOULD BE DISAPPOINTED IN YOU TOO. HOWEVER, IF YOU STAY ON THE TRUTH, THEY WILL GET OVER IT.
Believers in Christ, it is better for people to be disappointed in you than for you to keep pampering them on their way to hellfire, if indeed you are on a mission for Christ. Listen: Jesus Christ has not called any of His disciples to be a motivational speaker. That may surprise you, because the “Pharisees” and the Sadducees don’t need motivation from your performances; only the Holy Ghost can convict them of their wicked ways. Moreover, as with the Pharisees and Sadducees, do not expect them to motivate you either, but to destroy your belief and eternal life rest. Therefore, Christians must focus on their assignment! When the Pharisees and the Sadducees saw the lightning, they finally said, “Truly he’s the son of God.” What do you say to that?
JESUS DECLARED, “THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS UPON ME BECAUSE HE ANOINTED ME TO PREACH THE GOSPEL TO THE POOR. HE HAS SENT ME TO PROCLAIM RELEASE TO THE CAPTIVES, AND RECOVERY OF SIGHT TO THE BLIND, TO SET FREE THOSE WHO ARE OPPRESSED.
If the above is your mission as a believer in Christ, the slave traders in religious business will surely persecute you too when you’re stepping on their toes. However, I have good news for you.
Jesus says, “Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so be shrewd as serpents and innocent as doves. 17 But beware of men, for they will hand you over to the courts and scourge you in their synagogues; 18 and you will even be brought before governors and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them and to the Gentiles. 19 But when they hand you over, do not worry about how or what you are to say; for it will be given you in that hour what you are to say. 20 For it is not you who speak, but it is the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you. Matthew 10:16-19
Are you ready to be reborn? I advise you to think twice, because the calling of Jesus Christ is not to store and build a real estate business center, hoard Cambodian private jets for “evangelism,” or amass other material wealth to taunt and flaunt to others in supposed Redemption and Shiloh camps.
SUPPOSEDLY MEN AND WOMEN OF GOD, ALWAYS REMEMBER THE FOLLOWING: IF YOU SURVIVE YOUR RELIGIOUS SHENANIGANS HERE ON EARTH, UNDOUBTEDLY YOU WILL NOT SURVIVE IT IN ETERNITY, IF YOU DON’T REPENT.
