PENTECOSTAL/CHARISTMATIC CHURCHES! Things have really fallen apart and the center can no more hold. They used to be centres of revival. Places of worship where men and women, boys and girls go to encounter God, receive salvation and then be filled with the Holy Spirit. In those days, carnal men fear to go there because they do not want their sins to be exposed. When we were younger we referred to them as 'Ndi uka mbe akwa '(churches of people who cry a lot) This was because sermons and messages from their pulpits were gotten directly from the.presence of the Almighty and preached by men who have truly had encounter with Heaven. Sermons and messages preached by holy men who have abandoned the 'world' and it's system. Then believers were ready to follow Jesus and damned the world. Ready to suffer for their faith than to enjoy the pleasures of 'Egypt' for a season. Then material things did not preoccupy the hearts of believers. It was let us serve the Lord, die and.go to heaven.
It was like this until,
'Men of god entered into the arena
These were men with charisma but without character. Men with anoiting but without holiness and righteousness. Men with certificates but without sanctification and integrity. Men with good grammar but without grace. Men who coveted power but without paying godly price. Men with followership but without divine fellowship. These men entered and everything changed.
Today, many Pentecostal/charismatic churches are more of houses of demons than houses of Worship. We now have in such centres men who have entered into covenants with strange spirits. They now use shamanism, threats, magic, deceit, psychology,, tricks and other means to hoodwink people.
Their emphases have since shifted from building up spiritual and godly.men to building mighty cathedrals, buying modern aircrafts , mighty centres of academic learning with exhorbitant school fees which the poor cannot afford, fleet of expensive cars, designer cloths and so on.
In those churches, these 'men of god position themselves before their followers in such a way that they are even regarded more than Jesus Christ. Their followers fear them more than they fear God, they talk more about them more than they talk about God. They honour them more than they honour God. Their members are nothing but slaves in the hands of spiritual taskmasters.
Beloved, there are still geniune pentecostal/
charismatic churches. But you need the gift of decernment and wisdom
Shalom.

Well according to the Bible.... Posting about the problem will not solve it.


Get into your closet and INTERCEDE fervently for the church.

Posting is not a ministry but intercession is.
