How To Identify Scam Churches And Why You Should Stop Attending Them by PaNnamdi: 2:19pm On Sep 03, 2023 |
Anybody with a deep understanding of human psychology will easily figure out that most pastors today including majority of the most highly placed ones are using the Name of God to enrich and make fortunes for themselves. majority Of people still find it extremely difficult to boldly identify a fake pastor,but I would be spilling out their secrets openly here so that u can now analyse your own pastor if he is genuine or not. HOW FAKE PASTORS OPERATE Below are some of their identification signs. THEY CANT GIVE A PINPOINT AND ACCURATE PROPHECY OF EVENTS TO COME This is because they are just humans like you and me.u can't see the future but you can guess based on events happening today.They can't say boldly for example say that "Mr madueke will get a job on February 15th 2023",rather they always say the lord told me that a man sitting in this church would soon get a job.This is a net thrown because there maybe 20 people in the church that would get employed within that month or year and they would all believe that it was the pastor prayer that gave them the job.its a psychological trick.If your pastor is found of giving prophecies like this my brother,you are listening and believing a fake pastor. THEY TRY TO MAKE THE BIBLE APPEAR MYSTERIOUS This is another trademark of fake pastors.They use terms like annointed,mysterious ways of God and so many more to convince people that only them can pray and speak to God.some even claim that they speak to angels on daily basis my people,if u have your Bible and read it while keeping yourself morally clean and pray to God,you are already a man of God because the holy spirit of God will be upon you.Abraham didn't Go to church before God choosed him,but God choose him because he was upright,mind you, Jesus Christ have died for us and anybody that believes in him is his vessel. THEY CANT DO MIRACLES IN MIDST OF CROWDS OR IN THE PUBLIC This is another common identifying mark of professional motivational speakers who claim to be highly placed men of God.You can't see them doing live healing sessions in hospitals,along the roads healing,rather they either do scripted healing on TVs,arranged healings in churches maybe once in a while while making their followers believe that they have supernatural powers.When Jesus and his apostles where on earth they were healing people in numbers along the roads and in public.Thesse fake men of motivational speakers will say that their healing is based on faith.Tell me,so many people flocking their churches,attending their programs,paying tithes and believing these pastors even to point of death don't have faith? severely sick ones that loyally believe that they will be healed,l by these men don't have faith?This is hilarious.These scammers can't heal them because there aren't doctors. If they had the power the claim they had, Nigeria hospitals won't be as congested and overcrowded because they have so many of their sick and diehard members languishing in the hospitals alongside with so many other Christians who have faith.but can these fraudsters heal them?the answer is no. If you attend a church with these characteristics after reading this and still believing a pastor with this features,sorry to say YOU ARE A FOOL. Have a nice day. |

Pastor Chris Oyakilome should step out of his confort zone and start a nationwide healing outreach.He should start healing people in hospitals across Nigeria.let him stop doing abracadabra on TV. Nigeria hospitals need him |

Yes you are right... most of this pastors are only after there stomach.... they weren't called by God... they called themselves.... how can a pastor build a school with congregation money and only the rich can attend... how can a pastor tells you God is your shield and himself is been guard with police escort... Only God can save us in this country |

nifemi25:My brother this is the truth but just as nnamdi kanu scammed Igbos to believe him that he is bringing Biafra not knowing that he was enriching himself and he didnt have any any connections he claimed,these pastors are a million times worse than kanu.Nigerians had really been so exploited due to bad government. |

Do not generalize your statements. There are Pastors called by God with proof.Their mode of operations different from the so called acclaimed pastors. |

You should be focused on "how to identify non-scam churches" because truth be told, most are. The first step is knowing Jesus Christ Himself and the word of God. So that another man will not be scamming you. |

correctguy101:Oga I did not say worshipping god is bad my post is to enlighten those who had been so confused by pastors who claim to have supernatural powers.u see if there is no pastor with these powers that means pastors should advance the kingdom message and stop claiming to offer what they can't.na the scam be that.u don see Muslims even though they are a religion of akabomb sorry a religion of piss?dey claim healing Make pastors stop to dey do pass themselves because in they process they end up knowingly or unknowingly scamming the public. |

RoxyBrownAutos:Oga u are talking to a man who have lived in this life for over 40years. If any pastor exhibit the traits stated above forget it he is a scammer and a professional motivational speaker. Genuine Pastors forward the kingdom message and don't store up earthly riches. Well no be everybody go wise sha.u can believe whatever u choose to buy with regards to religion of Christianity Na the truth I don post about am be that. |
