God Cannot Be Deceived

 God cannot be deceived.

Do not be deceived and misled by your fake pastors, bishops and GOs.
Until you see people through the eyes of God and not through the eyes of the world, you will never know or see God.
You are a fake Christian, fake Muslim or fake believer if you don't see people through the eyes of God.

Matthew 

The Beatitudes of JESUS Christ

1 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:

2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,

3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

The Poor Are The Largest Givers in Nigerian Churches, But The Most Disregarded

 I once took a homeless young man I met on the street to a nearby church I was attending for us to help him. The ushers frowned at me as I led him into the church. 

During the church service, I knelt down and closed my eyes to pray and by the time I opened my eyes after the prayers, I did not see him by my side again.

I asked the ushers for him and they said he had left.

"Why did you allow him to leave? He was feeling feverish from malaria. You should not have allowed him to leave. We should have cared for him," I said.

They just frowned and did not reply me.

If he had been a rich man, they would have led him to the front row in front of the pulpit to sit down as a VIP for the pastor or bishop to see the Big Fish they have caught in their net.

To the churches in Nigeria, the poor are liabilities with their poverty who cannot give large offerings and cannot pay big tithes. But the rich will give the church large offerings and pay big tithes for the pastors and bishops to buy SUVs and live in mansions and later buy private jets and become realtors of the largest estates in the country; but neglecting the poor who are often abandoned either as homeless destitute or living in  crowded ghettos.  But unknown to these worldly pastors and bishops, the poor majority in the church are actually the largest givers to Almighty God, because He calculates what we give by the percentage of what we have as our Messiah JESUS Christ showed us in the lesson of the Widow's Mite written in Mark 12:41-44:

"41 And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.

42 And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.

43 And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury:

44 For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living."

The Churches in Nigeria prefer the large offerings and tithes of the rich without asking for the sources of their riches, whether from human rituals,  stolen money from the public sector or fraudulent practices in the private sector.

Have you ever heard of or seen pastors and bishops picking up homeless destitute and giving them shelter like the Good Samaritan in the Holy Bible?

Majority of the greedy Shylock landlords and landladies and estate agents in Nigeria are among the regular churchgoers and best friends of the pastors and bishops. 

The most corrupt Nigerians are not the pagans, but those who claim to be "Christians"  and "Muslims"  who fellowship and worship in the churches and mosques. But they cannot fool Almighty God. For the Shepherd knows his real sheep and the wolves in sheep clothing. 

Who are the bandits and terrorists on rampage in Nigeria? They are the  underprivileged children of the poor destitute who the administrators of the government, pastors of the churches and Imams a of the mosques cheated, deceived and exploited over the years without good education, without good accommodation and without welfare.

When you maltreat even your dogs, they will one day turn around to bark and bite you 

For Nigeria, the Chickens have come home to roost.

The Scent of the Holy Spirit 1

The Scent of the Holy Spirit 1

The Holy Spirit is the essence of the existence of the Almighty God and it is supreme and infinite in space and time.

You cannot know God without His Holy Spirit. Anyone who claims or says he or she knows God, but does not have the Holy Spirit is a LIAR. 

Many of the so called pastors, bishops and ministers in Nigeria and the rest of the world are FAKE. But tragically, majority of their followers are also FAKE. 

Fake pastors have fake Followers.

Because, our MESSIAH JESUS Christ said as it is written in Matthew 7:16:

" Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?"

Matthew 22:1-14:

1 And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said,

2 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,

3 And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.

4 Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage.

5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:

6 And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them.

7 But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.

8 Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.

9 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.

10 So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.

11 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:

12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.

13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness, there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

14 For many are called, but few are chosen.

Pope Benedict XVI to Visit United States and United Nations

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ --

Pope Benedict XVI will come to the United States with visits to Washington and New York City on a six-day trip which includes an address at the United Nations.


The visit is slated for April 15-20.


Among venues during the visit will be the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, where Pope Benedict will meet with the Bishops of the United States.


"This is a blessed moment for our nation," said Bishop William Skylstad of Spokane, President of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). "Pope Benedict is not just the leader of Catholics, he is also a man of inspiration for all those who work for peace."


Cardinal Edward Egan of New York voiced the delight of the people of New York.


"When our Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVI, told me last July that he would be visiting New York this coming April, I was delighted with the news and shared it with the People of God of the Archdiocese of New York and the entire community of greater New York. The response of all was both rejoicing and thanksgiving to the Lord for the great grace of the presence of the successor of St. Peter in our midst. I have assured the Holy Father of a warm and prayerful welcome. We all look forward to his visit with pleasure and anticipation."


Archbishop Donald Wuerl of Washington spoke of "faith-filled joy and enormous enthusiasm" in the Archdiocese of Washington.


"Personally, and in the name of all of the clergy, religious and faithful of the archdiocese, I express our warmest welcome while renewing our sentiments of love and loyalty to our Holy Father. We all look forward to his visit as a time of renewal of our faith and pastoral ministry and an opportunity to confirm our solidarity with the Church universal made visible among us by the successor to Peter, Pope Benedict XVI," Archbishop Wuerl said.


"It is an enormous privilege for the Church of Washington to host our Holy Father. We pledge to do all that we can to make his presence among us a moment of true spiritual renewal and a vibrant manifestation of God's kingdom at work among us."


Msgr. Walter Rossi, rector of the national Shrine, noted the Shrine's importance in the nation.


"The Shrine was established by the Bishops of the United States as our nation's tribute to Mary Immaculate and so it is appropriate that the Bishops of our country meet with the successor of Peter in the house they established to honor the Mother of God," he said.


Information on media credentials will be forthcoming.
