Sometime last year a young man called me from Malaysia and asked me to Pray for his business to breakthrough...

This guy was into Internet fraud (Yahoo Yahoo)...and yet he believed in the power of God bringing breakthrough via prayers.

He said this to me in pidgin English:
"Pastor abeg pray for my business to blow, many Pastors dey pray for us and when maga pay we dey settle them..."

I was in great shock when i heard this from the young man that some pastors pray for fraudsters and expect returns from them at the end of the shady deals, and I told him plainly that i won't pray such prayer for him...

I told him I would rather pray for his repentance from sin and eternal hell.

This young man got offended with my words but it was too late for him to stop my utterances because the sword of Truth from my mouth had already pierced him...

After some moments of preaching to him he began confessing many things to me, which I choose to talk about another time.
I did lead him to Salvation in Christ after that talk.

Just as God is strategically raising men (vessels of honour),
Satan is also busy raising men to counterfeit the face of Christianity (vessels of dishonour)...

Beloved, money is good, but the love of money, fame and power is the root of all evil, even in the Ekklesia (The Church).

Yes, the ministry has needs and it's not easy to run, but when we are quick to receive money from any quarter, our voice may soon turn into an echo (making noise)...

As preachers and kingdom representatives, may we never trade our moral conscience for a morsel of meal as Esau did and was rejected by heaven.

Receiving tithes and offerings for Kingdom advancement is good, but may we never sell the Messiah for 30 pieces of silver like Judas did.

MAY THE LORD HELP US TO BE MINISTERS WITHOUT BLEMISH IN THIS GENERATION IN JESUS NAME:
