Ghanaianas Asked To Be Wary Of Fake Pastors ( A Re-emphasis)

Your publcation on the above topic on Tuesday the 23rd where you relayed the advice of ACP Kwaben Gyamera-Yeboah to the people in an interview in Koforidua was well read & has attracted 93 comments. I wish to write a re-emphasis of the ACP's warning from a christian perspective and state as folows especially the importance you accorded it and republished it on a Sunday

When things like these happen my heart bleeds because I am a Christian. I thank the individual who made that comment that lack of knowledge has destroyed many and has expose them to the hands of those Jesus our master & savoir called wolves in sheep's clothing. But let me clear up this issue here; I have read the comments of many who are advocating abstinence from the house of God and also not going to pastors to pray for them and I will rather say this because some pastors did wrong will not make us to run away from the house of God after all Heb 10:25 said; 'not forsaking the gathering of ourselves together as the manner of some is ..... when you finish this verse of the scripture u will see that fellowship is commanded so let no fake pastor's conduct make us to disobey the Christian injunction to go to church. Anything that has several imitations means there is the original and the original is of sterling quality. They will pay for their sins if they fail to repent of their wickedness. They are not the Lord Jesus Christ who we Christians are his disciples so don't be discouraged because of any pastor's conduct from your worshiping God in truth & in spirit. Jesus is our standard, not any pastor.

Now let me come home, there is the acid test that the Lord Jesus gave us of how to know any true pastor or Christian & that is ; BY THEIR FRUITS YE SHALL KNOW THEM. subject any "Man of God' u want to visit to this test. Ask questions about him. You will soon discover that irrespective of any big name he is answering, when he does not pass this acid test, he is therefore a fake. Even anyone who rises up & began to claim he could heal, he could do this or that over the radio and all that, just know that another fake might be at the corner, advertising because in many occasions when Jesus heals people, he will simply tell them not to advertise him, showing he was not a boaster.

Now u that sister going to pursue these men about for prayer, let me remind u that the bible said in the book of James 1:14 that every man or woman is tempted when he is drawn away of his own lust, can you that sister or woman raped, molested or done anything evil to by a 'Man of God' tell me why you should honor an invitation from any such individual in his hotel room in the guise of special pray? what were u anticipating? He will call down an angel for u to solve all your problems? If your boss makes such invitation to u wont you be wary? Tell us the truth men!, you already anticipate the obvious with him before you went for such visit and in such an isolated place with him where u were now found in compromising circumstance. Be sure u are not an agent of the devil commissioned to go and lure him into sin and therefore spread scandal about him and make people to speak evil of the name of the Righteous and Holy Lord our God and his few faithful servants. Be careful and repent. Judgment is coming. Read Ecclesiastes 8:11, also read chptr12:14

Sister or woman do not become one of those who Jesus our Lord is warning that if you make any of these little ones who believe in him to fall, it is better that a millstone be tied to ur neck and you be cast into the sea because of ur sexuality which u are flaunting all over the place. There is nothing special in doing it with a man of God rather it will earn u harsh judgment from the presence of his master who is the God of all flesh. Remember what Eli ask his children, if any man has quarrel with a fellow man, God can, through people resolve/reconcile them but what if you have quarrel with God himself, who will settle it? Fear God
