Pastors are not omniscient, neither are prophets, teachers, evangelists or any other office holders in the church of Christ.
That anyone would deliberately pretend not to know this in order to ridicule pastors is a cry for help
The ability to suspend reasoning in favour of folly
is a tragedy this generation is courting so blatantly
And I submit that those who deliberately do this needs serious help
I used to work as a PA to pastors, I worked with pastors of many denominations and yes I know that those around them lie to them often and they would have no
clue about the truth.
I have seen the children of pastors lie to their parents and get away with it almost all the time
This is not an indictment on pastors, they know only what the Holy Spirit reveals unto them.
Whatever is hidden from them cannot be known, did you not read this
in the scriptures? In 2 Kings 4:27, the Shunnamite woman found her way to Elisha and Elisha had no clue what was going on
Jesus had a disciple who was helping himself to the purse of the ministry and not once did we hear him talk about it throughout the scriptures.
David went to
Nob, he was on the run from Saul and had a price tag on his head. The priests of Nob eventually paid for this visit with their lives, and yet when David was with them they didn’t know he was a fugitive! (1 Samuel 21)
I agree that there are fake pastors everywhere, they are a
pandemic
I am very happy I am not a pastor and in case anyone is wondering, I am not a prophet or a Man of God. I am a Christian brother and I try to serve the Lord with the whole of my heart because that is my life and reality now.
I have chastised many fake prophets and pastors
I have rebuked many charlatans who claim to be what they are not
I have written petitions and seen many fake pastors thrown out of their denominations. In fact, I have intervened in cases where spiritualists went mad before.
I am not defending fake pastors or those who leech on
believers but I am saying quite clearly that Spiritual leaders are not omniscient! They do not know everything and sometimes they are not allowed to talk about everything they know.
Finally, I will say this clearly; Mocking our spiritual leaders is not supposed to be a past time
believer
You may sometime think you have seen all of them only for God to show up and defend them.
Shimei saw the downfall of David, he took the opportunity to confront the King and mock him
David said “Leave him, perhaps God will see this dragging and fight for me! 2 Sam 16:4-13
That a generation has gotten to the stage where they can drag pastors and spiritual leaders fearlessly on Twitter is supposed to be a cause for concern
Nobody can drag me! I am from above but I have to remind you that if you’re found of dragging others you will always be grounded
Exalted people do not drag anything, Eagles fly light!
You do not have to relate with any pastor or his ministry if you are not comfortable with such
I for one don’t want anyone near me who has no regard for God and his anointed ones.
Throughout the days of Jesus, he confronted
the Pharisees, the sadducees, the
Sanhedrin, the teachers of the law and so on but he did so based on merit. He didn’t drag them just to have some mindless fun. He was pointing them to the Way!
Bragging about making a fool of pastors is not having fun, it is foolishness and that
has to be said.
Again, I have my hand on the block button. I have earned the right to block anyone and associate with only those I am comfortable with.
I do not need anyone’s endorsement or sponsorship. I do not collect tithe and offering from anyone!
I am fulfilling my purpose
with grace.
So I will block anyone who didn’t read this objectively or who comments in a manner that I deem biased. I am the judge and the jury on my own timeline.
I am that blessed!

Hope we all learned something!

This lady chatted me up on Twitter, she has been separated from her husband for two years and their divorce was about to become final
In the early days of their separation and disagreements, she was so convinced she wouldn’t ever marry her husband again that refused all forms of
Intervention from family and the church
She was meticulous in her life exit, so meticulous that her husband didn’t know she had rented an apartment & stylishly packed all her stuff and the children’s stuff and also hired new nannies and all in secret
It was an inter-tribal union
The marriage had produced two boys
Both boys were born in America and she had two sets of birth certificate for them
The originals bore her maiden name as the surname for the children while the one she gave her husband had his name as the surname
She said she really didn’t want

We have now gotten to the roofing stage of this project. The roofing has to be done immediately because this is the rainy season and that is the only way work can continue when it rains. (we have prayerfully controlled the rain for some days)
Please we need your support at this
Point.
The estimate sent to us for this stage and the ceiling is about 3.5 million naira for both materials and labour. Unlike Nigeria, the hardware store in the Philippines is like a supermarket
The prices are fixed and we know exactly how much we need for this phase
That will be 224,500 Philippines Pesos.
The exchange rate is 1 dollar to 50 pesos and so it is easy for us to work out what that is in terms of naira
If the Lord has drawn you towards this project, I ask you not to hesitate anymore.
After the roofing, the other things we will do

We are making very rapid progress on this project. God has been very gracious unto us, blessed be his Holy Name.
I want to say a big thank you to everyone who saw the project and sent their love and other forms of encouragement. My God bless you abundantly
The project will be concluded in 18 days. As we can see from the video, this is a rural community that needed the basic structure of a place of worship where they can serve God ImageImageImageImage

Suddenly everybody is in a panic mode, a pastor called and said he had been stooling and his BP has outran a chariot at top speed, the same pastor’s wife called saying her husband got a heart attack when he heard the news
His older sister called and said “Take her for deliverance
Let her come to her senses, His mother said “Consider how long you have been holding on, remember to be like Christ and to bear it to the end”
His wife became extremely repentant, crying like a jelly Fish, “Give me one more chance, pls, one more chance” was her song of redemption
All he did was file for divorce after years of abuse, torture and pain.
That was his crime, refusing to take the abuse and the pain unleashed on him unrepentantly by the same woman who suddenly saw a shift in the power climate and started kneeling down like a frog at every given

Good morning, I have been asked by many people (believers) how to become supernaturally blessed
Some believe this happens when they give to pastors who claim they should come and sow seed and all
That never worked for me as a believer. I remember sowing seed of whole month’s pay
several times and remaining poor for several years
I once gave a pastor a bag of rice and I felt I had just been robbed, the feeling was so bad that I went to take my bag of rice down from his car and I took it back home
I know supernatural blessing is real but how do I access it
I went to the book of Genesis and over and over I discovered that those who built altars (a place of worship) to the Lord are uniquely acknowledged both in God’s book and in supernatural blessings.
The patriarchs were all altar builders and they prospered the exceedingly!

I was asleep around 1 am earlier today when I received a phone call from an old friend
This friend was my bunk mate in 1996 when I was thrown into the boarding school
We became fast friends then and over the years we have kept in touch
He said he needed help urgently and he was
sure God directed him to me
I laughed
Last week Sunday, he sent me a message while I was on my way to Lagos from Ondo State and I knew immediately that he would reach out soon and I would help him in whatever capacity was within my powers
Even my younger brother said so to me in
the car
He said “You have to help that brother, he needs help now more than ever”
I made a mental note of that
This brother had been thrown own of marital home by his wife’s family because they perceive him to be a leech trying to feed off their daughter
They didn’t know that a
