The truth of Christ is rare in the mouths of Pastors and Bishops because they want to remain in Moses’ seat.
“Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to His disciples, saying: “The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. Therefore whatever they tell you to observe, that observe and do, but do not do according to their works; for they say, and do not do. For they bind heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers. But all their works they do to be seen by men. They make their phylacteries broad and enlarge the borders of their garments. They love the best places at feasts, the best seats in the synagogues, greetings in the marketplaces, and to be called by men, ‘Rabbi, Rabbi.’ But you, do not be called ‘Rabbi’; for One is your Teacher, the Christ, and you are all brethren. Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven. And do not be called teachers; for One is your Teacher, the Christ. But he who is greatest among you shall be your servant. And whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted. “But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men; for you neither go in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. Therefore you will receive greater condemnation.” Matthew 23:1-14 NKJV.
The question believers in Christ should ask the Holy Spirit is Why did Jesus curse the Scribe and the Pharisees instead of imitating them?
Jesus says, “For they bind heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.” Matthew 23:4 NKJV.
For example, Pastors and Bishops will tell their members the following:
• “Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, That there may be food in My house, And try Me now in this,” Says the Lord of hosts, “If I will not open for you the windows of heaven And pour out for you such blessing That there will not be room enough to receive it. “And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, So that he will not destroy the fruit of your ground, Nor shall the vine fail to bear fruit for you in the field,” Says the Lord of hosts;” Malachi 3:10-11 NKJV.
• “Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.” But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.” Matthew 19:21-22 NKJV.
However, what today’s pastors and Bishops are doing is contrary to the mind of Jesus Christ; they are investing believers’ money in businesses in conjunction with capitalists for wealthy individuals and hoarding the dividends in foreign banks. Believers in Christ must refrain from listening to Pastors’ and Bishops’ erroneous, business-minded teachings if eternal life in Christ is their goal.
IT IS A MUST FOR BELIEVERS IN CHRIST TO REROUTE FROM PASTORS AND BISHOPS’ BUSINESS MINDS’ TEACHINGS, OTHERWISE THEIR SALVATION IS UNDER THREAT AND THEIR ETERNAL LIFE WITH CHRIST IS IN DANGER.
