One grievous sin is that of homosexuality from which we get the word sodomy. This unnatural act is an ABOMINATION before God hence God had to judge this sin on the basis of his holiness. Today many here in Africa are shocked and amazed at the gradual but sure growth of this behavior in Africa. Arthur Owiti

Comment
Bro.Arthur Owiti was a couple of
years ago very passionate about the true gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. He
was very critical of ecumenism, the prosperity gospel and the preaching of unsound doctrine in today's pulpits. I posted
some his good articles on my blog. As I write now, he has fallen away. On his
face book page , he is very passionate about lust and homosexuality and silent
about the gospel. He used to preach the gospel at the university but now those Christians
who knew him for preaching against the heresy of
today’s prosperity gospel and the need for sound doctrine are wondering what happened.
The devil is wicked and like a roaring lion, he is always looking for whom to
devour. Let us keep on guard. I pray that this bother repents and turns back to
the savour Jesus Christ.

GLOBAL SODOM

Posted in FALLING AWAY, INIQUITY ABOUNDING
08 Monday Mar 2010
≈ Comments Off
A glance made on the global conditions on the world is proving one thing;the whole world is actually one, thanks to globalization. This globalization is making the world one in all its affairs and in religion. All these are mentioned in the holy scriptures.
This whole mix of conditions can lead one to call the so called one world a Global Sodom. Sodom was known for commiting very grievous sin before the Lord that in the end he judged it with brimstone and fire.
Genesis 19:24 Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;
One grievous sin is that of homosexuality from which we get the word sodomy. This unnatural act is an ABOMINATION before God hence God had to judge this sin on the basis of his holiness. Today many here in Africa are shocked and amazed at the gradual but sure growth of this behavior in Africa.
Before it belonged to the abode of the West but now India has legally protected the rights of Gays and there are many of their advocacy groups rising worldwide,hence the spread of Sodom in the whole world .But is this the only thing that made Sodom , Sodom ?
Ezekiel, Jeremiah and Isaiah give us more insight of what took place in Sodom. Isaiah castigated Israel for declaring her sin openly like Sodom .
Arrogance and utter unrepentance of sin is what made judgment right for Sodom,hence Israel same arrogance and hearted hardness was judged like God had judged Sodom though a remnant was saved in Israel .
Isaiah 3:9 The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves.
As for Ezekiel he shows the iniquities of Sodom ;
Ezekiel 16:49 Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.
A sober look of our world reveals today the same things that were present in Sodom are present in every part of the globe.
PRIDE
This where the love of self takes center stage in the lives of people.The capitalistic system has made people love self to extremes where people become selfish and feel good about themselves even when they are on the wrong.This self love exalts itself against the love of God which does not puff up itself.
Moreover religious pride has been seen in the form of denominations and false doctrines and the exaltation of ministers in Christendom. Through amassing wealth and fame many have become so exalted that they feel untouchable and too high to repent of any sin which grips them.
Pride is very deceitful hence blinding,where someone does not realise his real state of utter hopelessness without God. Hence repentance cannot exist where there is pride;it has to come down because God only gives grace to the humble.
But the global world is driven by pride or self will,nations want to do what they want and show off their supremacy.It is vanity on a global scale.Yet this pride is also exuded in Christendom in its showing off of
success in the world…celebrities and merchandising of Christian minstry.
FULNESS OF BREAD
Again Capitalism has made the world divided into classes of rich middle class and poor in dynamic ways. One phenomenon borne out of this worldwide system is consumerism.
All nations have a consumerist population that is growing with the so called capitalism.This behavior has spurred the super rich to great heights of profit hence their out sourcing tactics and global companies.
This growth and development is a sign of bread in abundance. However in the midst off it the poor are present globally starving for lack of finances to gain that same bread that many have in abundance.
Ezekiel is showing that Sodom despised the poor and it is evident today that global capitalistic system which has gripped the whole world has despised the poor .It is ironic that people can throw away stuff that can actually save another within their country.It is greed on a global scale.
Yet this greed is being sanctifed by false doctrines of Political Christianity and Prosperity gospel in global Christendom.
ABUNDANCE OF IDLENESS
With bread in plenty and life in good shape,the world or those who are enjoying its riches get idle hence feed idleness with Entertainment.To be in sync with the words of Paul in 2 Timothy,it is amazing how the love of pleasure as escalated in these perilous times.As wars go on the other part of the world is in bliss having fun through entertainments of the world such as football,movies and music.Entertainment is one of the top profit earners in the world today.In fact some developing nations are beginning to call it a need.
This Entertainment thing has also hit Christendom.With lack of firm admonition of the scriptures Christians are busy entertaing themselves while they are in apostasy and false doctrines.The media which is now global is encouraging greed and self love through Prosperity Gospel and Purpose Driven Life.
So called Christian music is now big business( has ministry ever been business ? ) and many Christian celebrities are being born.Christian movies having premieres just like their Hollywood counterparts.Everything looks glassy but it is just a facade; false and deception.
Books that encourage Christians to love the world and be at ease in this wicked world instead of fighting sin and walking in Love are what matter. Look at the so called Chrisian Best Sellers on the New York Best seller list, what are they talking about? None are talking about building true faith all talk about building this fading world and being big in this world.,..the love of the world.
In the midst of such a drunk world as Sodom the righteous were present.This is seen in the figure of Lot who was vexed by the wickedness in Sodom. We as pilgrims in this world are also vexed by what we see but ours is to keep the faith and witness for our righteous Lord in deed and truth.
GLOBAL BLINDNESS TO GOD’S JUDGMENT
Yes the love of this world was raging in Sodom and that same love is raging globally but God being righteous has to reveal his wrath to such society where lawlessness is called liberty and bondage is called freedom.
When the angels were rescuing Lot from the sodomites, they struck all the people there with blindness until the brimstone and fire rained down.
Blindness today can be seen where people are ignoring the Lord’s judgment on the earth for her inquity.Moreover Christendom is part of that blindness by refusing sound doctrine hence bearing the love of this world.No wonder it is giving way to the works of the flesh and the works of the devil.
GLOBAL SPREAD OF INIQUITY
When discussing with one about the current state of the world we concluded that the state of the world is like a network of computers.If one computer in that network gets a virus,the other computers will get it to and they will all come crashing down.
The rot in Western Christendom is spreading to the whole world because of the one network connection it has with the other parts of the world through globalization and one world system. This fro example in Anglican circles why the homosexual sin in England and US Episcopalian church is also raging in Asia and African communions.
Evangelical sodomy in America where top leaders have been implicated have been proved to be in parts of Evangelical Africa .Why ?Not because the Asian and Africans have left their values but because they are communions. So long as you are connected you will get the virus.
Sin has power and is spiritual and one has to walk in the spirit to overcome its power,not just by talking words or excusing it.That is why Jesus came,to destroy such works of the devil.
This sin and blindness is cured with the Light of the glorious gospel of Christ where true Christians defend the gospel in truth and deed. Maintaining that God will judge and reveal his wrath from heaven against the ungodliness of men who hold the truth in unrighteousness.
God will judge the whole earth as iniquity and ungodliness is now not just confined to the West but the whole world, not just Western Christendom but Global Christendom which needs to repent or face judgment from the Lord God against the Global Sodom.

TBN WATCH…. JESSE DUPLANTIS AND HIS MANSIONS ON EARTH
05
Wednesday
Jan 2011
Matt 21:12-13 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them
that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the
moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, And said
unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of
prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.
By the way ,didn’t Jesse Duplantis say he went to heaven and saw mansions ?..is the mansion below a replica of the heavenly mansions, or we need to pay him another 25 dollars to get the blueprint for the mansions.? LOL
Jesse Duplantis has a mansion built by Jesse Duplantis Ministries.
Since Jess Duplantis Ministries is a 5013C organization,therefore State
Property, it is tax exempt. Why is this an issue of tax important?
If the 3 million dollar property was Jesse Duplantis’ he would have to pay about 30000 dollars a year of tax.But since the mansion does not belong to him, but the ministry ,they will not pay anything.Thus he goes home with 30000 every year.Talk about social security and retirement benefits.
Moreover some may come in the defence of Pastor Duplantis by saying that the believers are building the mansion for him: WRONG.
It is Jesse Duplantis Ministries ,not the partners.The partners just fund the ministry , but Jesse is the head of the ministry.So Jesse is building a mansion for Jesse.Thus the partners money many of which come from as far as Australia and from poor countries like Zambia and East Africa to Americans struggling in the Depression should know that their sweat is adding to the bricks to Duplantis’ mansion.
The most profound difference is that Jesse Ministries is an Eternal Jesse according to the Law because it is a corporation, and legally, CORPORATIONS NEVER DIE and the other Jesse is MORTAL and he will die one day but the corporate Jesse will still own the house .He has killed two birds with one stone !!
This is just as the other Rod Parsley story where the jet belongs to the church but the pastor uses it at the expense of the church .
This cruel reality must hit Christians in the face. The Churches today are DENS OF THIEVES AND ROBBERS AND NOT HOUSES OF PRAYER.
Actually Televangelists are gaining reach like the Roman Catholic church has reach on the ground, through television and the internet that has made them make BILLIONS in just 20 years.Technology has truly aided the greedy.God is not interested in the billions, he is interested when it is done in his name because that is blasphemy..God is Holy and not a money making
venture which TV Evangelism has made of him.
It is a shame and wrong for someone to fund their personal luxury in the name of God.Our Lord Jesus had compassion for the people and not passion for worldly mansions like today’s pastors who live contrary to the teachings of the one whom they claim to serve
One can build such a mansion for the poor next door .How many of them will get saved after doing such a gesture.Some Pastors who like to defend their love for luxury will say ” but i have already given to the poor and built an orphanage “
Then do more , give to more people and more will be blessed
However what most of these ministers do is give to the poor as plastic charity but give their life and all the church expenses for their personal riches and comfort.This is hypocrisy.
The Lord Jesus whom these minsters claim to serve said you cannot serve God and Money at the same time.The Antichrist teaching of these minsters is that you can serve God and money at the same time.IMPOSSIBLE
Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and
rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But
lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust
doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Matt 6:19-21
Friends this is not a suggestion,this is a commandment from the Lord Jesus that we should not treasure the things of this world ,but the things of God.Yet Prosperity Gospel wants us to treasure the things of this world more than God and to treasure money more than the Word of God.. DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THESE “SALESMEN” CALLED PASTORS WHO USE THE NAME OF JESUS TO HIDE WHERE THE HEART IS…IN THE WORLD NOT HEAVEN WE YOU AND ME WANT TO GO.
WATCH OUT AND KNOW that these TBN ministers and other Prosperity Ministers , Charismatic Pastors see the church as a business and we know what Jesus did to the businessmen in the temple.They provoked his wrath the most.
Matt 21:12-13 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them
that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the
moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, And said
unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of
prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.

STORY FROM http://www.fox8live.com/news/local/story/Lee-Zurik-Investigation-Duplantis-ministry-is-big/5TMO1FgNkEK0Lfr3o4HMTg.cspx
Lee Zurik Investigation: Duplantis ministry is big business
Ole Anthony’s been investigation religion since the mid 1980’s.
Anthony said, “There’s more fraud committed in America in the name of God than any other fraud. And that’s is just not right.”
Anthony heads the Trinity Foundation. It’s a Dallas based not for profit.
“Many of these ministries we investigate at the top are spiritual snakepits,” Anthony said. “And that’s sad.”
Trinity Foundation has worked with the FBI, IRS, even the U.S. Senate.
“Believe it or not, we are the only group in America that routinely investigates religious fraud,” Anthony said. “Why? Because these guys are terribly litigious. I’ve been sued so many times I can’t count it anymore.”
One of the televangelists Anthony is investigating is based in St. Charles Parish.
Jesse Duplantis is charismatic. He also has a worldwide following.
But Anthony says greed motivates Duplantis. And Anthony says that is apparent by his luxurious lifestyle.
Duplantis is building a mansion in St. Charles Parish. It’s reportedly one of the largest on the East Bank of the River. Construction began in October of 2008. The house has 35-thousand square feet of covered space. It has 22,039 of living space. The garage and other covered area totals 12,947 square feet.
Inside, there will be 5 bedrooms, more than 7 bathrooms, and a home theatre. Parish records show the cost at 3 million dollars. The owner of the house is not Duplantis, but his ministry, Jesse Duplantis Ministries.
Pete Evans leads the investigations for the Trinity Foundation.
Evans said, “Donors expect the money they donate to the church to go to the poor and needy. Not to build mansions for the pastor.”
Evans says Duplantis teaches the Prosperity Gospel.
“If you give x amount of dollars, you are going to get that multipled and get that back to you,” Evans said. “It’s a heavenly Las Vegas in some sense.”
According to Duplantis, the gospel has worked for him.
In a television interview Duplantis said he was, “driving down highway 167 going towards Lafayette. And a citation jet flew over my head. And the Lord said look up. And he said I am going to give you one like that.”
Duplantis says the lord told him he would get his own private plane.
“I’m figuring how am I going to pay for this. How am I going to sustain this,” Duplantis said in that interview. “Lord said Jesse – I didn’t ask you to pay for it. I asked you to believe for it.”And years later, Duplantis got that plane.
Duplantis blocks his flight records, but Fox 8 News managed to get a copy. Since 2000, .Duplantis has used his plane nearly 2500 times. A plane owned by his ministry.
“It appears as though on the surface that Duplantis is using his jet to go on vacation from time to time,” said Evans.
In 2009, Jesse Duplantis Ministries plane took a 17 day trip to Hawaii. The plane hopped from island to island. We spoke to one airplane operator who has the same jet as Duplantis. By his calculations, this Hawaii trip cost his ministry $40,000. That includes the cost of gassing up, flying, and storing the plane in Hawaii for 17 days.
Records show, in early March, he took an 11 day Hawaii trip this year too.
Jesse Duplantis Ministries jet has also taken 11 different trips to Las Vegas.
And the plane’s also been to Canada and England. But the majority of his flights to appear to be for church work.
“If a CEO of whatever needs a plane that is fine,” Duplantis said in a TV interview (not with Fox 8). “So if a CEO of a ministry needs to preach the gospel and get back to his church, that’s ok with me.”
Duplantis’ congregants say his big house and private plane don’t bother them.
“That’s his personal business,” one congregant said.
Another said, ”I think god is blessing him. He gives to people and he gives back. Whatever you give you get back.”
While the church is paying for the house and plane, his congregants say they don’t believe their donations fund his lifestyle.
“I don’t think church money is going towards that,” a congregant said. “But I’d love to give to it. Because whatever you sow is what you receive. So I’d love a big beautiful house and a plane too.”
The Trinity Foundation says there’s no truth behind the prosperity gospel. They say Duplantis’ actions mirror many televangelists across the country.
“Unfortunately this is becoming more and more common where preachers are using at best suspicious business dealings to hurt the church and benefit themselves,” Ole Anthony of the Trinity Foundation said.
A huge home and a plane that’s sometimes used for personal use – all benefits the Trinity Foundation say shouldn’t be possible for a man of god.
“He doesn’t believe in the Holy Trinity. He believes in the holy quartet. Father, son, Holy Spirit and him.”
Anthony said he knows that will offend a lot of people who go to his church every week.
“I know. Talk to them in five years after the promises didn’t work.”
But one congregant said: “If anybody wants to put him (Duplantis) down, you are going to have to put the congregation down too.”
We tried to get an interview with Duplantis for this story. He never returned our calls.
that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the
moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, And said
unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of

By the way ,didn’t Jesse Duplantis say he went to heaven and saw mansions ?..is the mansion below a replica of the heavenly mansions, or we need to pay him another 25 dollars to get the blueprint for the mansions.? LOL
Who
is building Jesse Duplantis a Mansion? Jesus said there are mansions in
his Father's house for those who follow him ; the faithless build
mansions for themselves,the faithful have their mansions built by the
Lord God.
If the 3 million dollar property was Jesse Duplantis’ he would have to pay about 30000 dollars a year of tax.But since the mansion does not belong to him, but the ministry ,they will not pay anything.Thus he goes home with 30000 every year.Talk about social security and retirement benefits.

THE RICHER YOU GET , THE MORE IMMUNE YOUR ARE TO THE END TIMES
THE ANTICHRIST PROSPERITY GOSPEL
The Pew Research Group did a holistic survey of Religion in Africa .Among the many questions that were asked was the issue of the second coming of Jesus Christ.It was interesting to note that countries that are growing economically had a lower expectation of his return happening in their lifetime.
The question:
When one looks at the Christan list, one sees that war ravaged Congo is leading in believing that Jesus will return in their lifetime.
The somewhat averagely fair expectancy of Jesus return should have be attributed to the False Pre tribulation Rapture or Fly away doctrine.The Bible is clear that Christians will see the Antichrist rule and be persecuted by it before Jesus comes. First, the revelation of the Antichrist then the revelation of Jesus Christ…2 Thess 2
Oil Rich countries like Nigeria and Ghana and also Southern African countries seem not to be so concerned,though there is a considerable number that is expectant.
What this proves is how prosperity is a sure killer of one’s faith in the Lord Jesus.
PROSPERITY GOSPEL KILLS THE TRUE GOSPEL OF SALVATION AND SANCTIFICATION
The Prosperity Gospel is as old as the sun in the book of Deuteronomy we see how the Lord warns Israel of the dangers of prosperity and how it sways one away from God.
PROSPERITY = PRIDE = SELF IDOLATRY
Deu 8:10-18
When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the LORD thy God for the good land which he hath given thee.
Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day:
Lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein;
And when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied;
Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the LORD thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage;
Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness, wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there was no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint;
Who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end;
And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth.
But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.
PROSPERITY = PRIDE = IDOLATRY = SIN …. THE PROSPERITY CYCLE/SPIRITUAL POVERTY CYCLE
This cycle has occurred in the Western World where after being very rich and developed they got so proud that they forgot God and started worshiping their gods of self, entertainment, technology and many other gods and now spiritual poverty to the point of rejecting Jesus and his second coming.
Now Pew Research has proved that the same thing is happening in Africa especially rich countries or Oil rich mineral rich countries.
Countries like Kenya and Nigeria while hosting MTV Awards prove to all that Western civilization is the order of the day , a civilization that glorifies wealth as security and not God.
The issue is many people love money more than God that everything
they do is about money.Their prayers are financial, therefore their
sermons are financial.
Their dreams are financial therefore they make friends on financial terms.
Their thoughts are financial therefore they serve God on financial terms.
Blessings are only deemed financial therefore a financially stable country is a blessed country .One wonders whether such an one has read Rev 18 where God destroys the rich nations and cities of the world .That scripture clearly shows how ungodly gain is abominable to the Lord.
Jesus has warned us that in these last days we should not be drunken by the riches of the world nor by the worries that we do not have riches .
Let us daily walk away from the Prosperity Gospel which is bound to crash with the coming global economic and social collapse and stand in the true faith that seeks first and earnestly waits for the Kingdom of God loving God by keeping his commandments and his word.

THE ANTICHRIST PROSPERITY GOSPEL
The Pew Research Group did a holistic survey of Religion in Africa .Among the many questions that were asked was the issue of the second coming of Jesus Christ.It was interesting to note that countries that are growing economically had a lower expectation of his return happening in their lifetime.
The question:
When one looks at the Christan list, one sees that war ravaged Congo is leading in believing that Jesus will return in their lifetime.
The somewhat averagely fair expectancy of Jesus return should have be attributed to the False Pre tribulation Rapture or Fly away doctrine.The Bible is clear that Christians will see the Antichrist rule and be persecuted by it before Jesus comes. First, the revelation of the Antichrist then the revelation of Jesus Christ…2 Thess 2

It is expedient for us all to come out of the teachings of Prosperity Gospel and Dominion Gospel that loom different but have the same goal: GAINING THE WORLD, THE LUST OF THE EYS , THE LUST OF THE FLESH AND THE PRIDE OF LIFE.

This love of the world has led to IDOLATRY OF MAN .
1. People worship their pastors not Jesus

3. People defend these false shepherds because they are saying what they want to hear.
Here in Africa and also the whole Ancient world people kept their idols very safely in a special room of the house.Though some still hold this practice ,this evidence of how peole value their idols.

PROSPERITY PASTORS FOR HIRE…TITHE ,NOT THE HOLYSPIRIT, INSPIRES THEM
07
Thursday
Oct 2010
The tithing law is the bane of the Prosperity Gospel and is
similar to the Catholic indulgences that led to the Protestant
Reformation.The same winds of reform are going to hit the Church again
as Christians reject to be under the Levitical order because they are
under the order of Melchizdek ,Jesus Christ being High priest of the
tribe of Judah.
These prosperity pastors and state churches are mere civil servants who collect tithe but refuse to pay taxes because they are serving the Caesar government.Why give to Caesar what belongs to God(that is the church belongs to God) ?

TITHING: A MERE PROSPERITY GOSPEL HOAX
Tithing: A mere Prosperity Gospel Hoax
Kizito Michael George
Dear editor, of late Ugandan Christians have come up openly to challenge the tithing heresy in newspapers, yours inclusive. Prosperity pastors are now trying to defend the heresy because they know that their prosperity ‘ponzi’ scheme is about to collapse like a sac of rotten potatoes. In the 3 –October -2010 edition of the Sunday monitor, one APOSTLE EDWARD SSEWANYANA ridiculously defended the tithing heresy. His defense echoes knowledge of ‘striptures’ instead of scriptures.
He first of all argues that Christians should tithe because Abraham and Jacob tithed. His arguments fail to take cognizant of the fact that the tithing of Abraham and Jacob is different from the tithing of Christians today. To begin with, Abraham tithed on war loot. He tithed 10 percent of this war loot and retained nothing. He never tithed money. Secondly Jacob’s tithing was conditional, he said he would only tithe on condition that God blesses him. Today, pastors tell the flock that tithing is compulsory and if you do not tithe, you receive curses. This is a very serious disconnect.
Secondly, he categorically argues that since the New Testament regards Abraham as, “the father of us all” (Romans 4:16), born again Christians should emulate his tithing lifestyle. This is a very weak argument because one could as well argue that since Abraham practiced circumcision of the physical body, born again Christians should also circumcise their bodies. He also argues that Abram or Abraham’s financial prosperity can only be traced to his tithing lifestyle but fails to back up this with scriptural evidence. Can he give us examples in the bible where Abraham did not tithe on war loot. Or where he tithed 10 percent and retained 90% . God promised in Genesis 12:2-3 that he was going to bless Abraham even before Abraham tithed in Genesis 14:20. God never said I will bless you if you give me tithes. Apostle Ssewanyana further contradicts himself by saying that Abraham was rich even before tithing(Genesis 13:2).
He also reiterated that the tithe should be given to Jesus Christ, the new Melchisedec . The million dollar question to him is ‘’How can Jesus from the tribe of Judah receive tithes’’? He fails to provide scriptural evidence to prove that the Early Christians tithed. Isn’t it surprising to note that tithing was not an issue at all in the Jerusalem council of Acts 15. This council resolved whether gentiles should keep the mosaic law. Among the resolutions tithing is conspicuously absent. Apostle Ssewanyana also ridiculously argues that Apostle Paul supported tithing.
He does not seem to know that Apostle Paul never told people to tithe but to Give. Giving and tithing are two different concepts. In fact in 2 Cor.9:7, Apostle Paul says categorically that giving must be from the heart and should not be coerced. It should be noted that today‘s prosperity pastors coercive people to tithe. We need to remember that the New Testament is a covenant of the heart and not of the flesh. That is why circumcision according to the New Testament is an issue of the heart.
There is absolutely no scripture in the bible where Apostle Paul or Jesus Christ told born again Christians to tithe. Christ taught giving (Luke 6:38). In Mathew23:23 Christ was taking to Pharisees and not Christians. Yes, they ought to have tithed because they believed in the Mosaic Law. Secondly, they ought have tithed because the New Testament period of grace had not come. Apostle Ssewanyana does not know that according to the New testament God no longer dwells in temples made with human hands(Acts 17:24). Born again Christians are the true temples of God(Corinthians 3: 9, 16 ). How can a temple of God pay tithes?? In addition the New Testament calls all born again believers priests (1 Peter 2:9, Rev. 5:10). How can a born again priest pay tithes?
Many pastors are knowledgeable about striptures (they read bits and pieces of verses that promote their greed) instead of scriptures. They have turned the gospel of grace into a gospel of greed. This tithing heresy is being perpetuated because of the failure of born again Christians to search God in his word. This heresy aims at sustaining the greed and luxurious life styles of prosperity Pastors. The tithing heresy is the foundation of the exploitative prosperity gospel. Once born again Christianity reject this hoax, the whole prosperity edifice will come crumbling like a sac of rotten potatoes.
Did you know that formerly tithes were eaten by the tither(thithing person) in the temple(Deu: 14:22ff). However, this temple was destroyed in 70A.D as predicted by our Lord Jesus Christ (Matt 24: 1-2).Therefore according to New Testament Christianity God no longer dwells in temples made with human hands(Acts 17:24). Born again Christians are the true temples of God(Corinthians 3: 9, 16 ). How can a temple of God pay tithes?? Lastly according to the Old Testament money was not tithaible (Deut 7:11ff) therefore churches that tell people to tithe money are lying to you. Some pastors argue that according to the Old Testament people tithed the fruit of the trees, corn etc because there was no money back then. This is a lie, there was money back then, remember Abraham bought a field where he buried Sarah at 400 pieces of silver(Gen 23:13-16), do you also remember that Joseph was sold by his bothers for 20 pieces of silver(Gen 37:28). So, there was money back then. Therefore tithing money is just another big lie.

Tithing in the New Testament is not optional

I fully believe that Christians are not justified by the Law of Moses and should not lean on it for salvation. However, tithing as a principle was practiced even before Moses received the commandments or Laws on Mount Sinai.
Abraham was the first example of a tither. Hebrews 7:6 mentions that Melchisedec, the priest of the Most High God, “received tithes of Abraham.” Though only one incident of Melchisedec receiving tithes from Abraham is mentioned (Gen14:20), we cannot rule out that Abraham gave tithes on other occasions too.
Abraham’s grandson, Jacob could not have come out to make a commitment to tithe on a consistent basis to the Lord if his grandfather only tithed once and stopped there. Jacob made a lifelong commitment to tithe when he told God that, “of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee,” Genesis 28:22.
Abraham and Jacob lived approximately 400 years before Moses the law-giver was born. Their tithing lifestyle cannot be ignored on the pretext that they were under the law since there was no law at that time at all. Since Abraham was the father of us all, as born again Christians, we have to emulate his tithing spirit. One of the benefits that Abraham received from his lifestyle of tithing was financial prosperity – “Abraham was very rich in cattle, in silver and in gold” (Genesis 13:2).
Since the Old Testament tithing system changed with the establishment of the New Covenant, the recipient of the tithe also changed. Someone else took up the office of the priesthood of Melchisedec, “Even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec” (Heb 6:20). Jesus now continues to receive the tithe from Abraham’s children, those who have believed in Jesus Christ for salvation (Heb 7:8).
In a practical sense, the tithe is received by Jesus Christ through the Church and especially through the church leadership that includes the apostles, prophets and pastors (Eph 4:11). Just like the Levites ministered in the temple and received tithes that were brought to the temple, that same right belongs to the church leadership today.
In Matthew 23:23, Jesus rebukes the Pharisees for neglecting judgment, mercy and faith but at the same time commends them for being faithful tithers. Jesus clearly says that tithe is one of the things that a believer ought to do.
Behind the mask of being the “gallant defenders of the faith”, those who oppose tithe are actually bound by a selfish, miserly and stingy spirit that is inconsistent with the generous faith of the New Testament (Acts 4:34, 2 Cor 9:6-7). The motive that ought to prompt liberality in tithing as a service to God ought to be greater now than in Old Testament times, hence Christians ought to go beyond the ancient Hebrews in consecrating both themselves and their substance to God.
A Christian who does not tithe is not a non-believer but is a disobedient child of God who is actually opposing the spread of the gospel of Jesus Christ through withholding resources over which God has made them stewards to further the preaching of the gospel through the church.

These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the midst of darkness is reserved for ever.(2 Peter 2:17)

AMERICA, AMERICA WHY HAVE YOU DONE THIS TO AFRICA???
From 24-25 July 2010 Apostle Dr. David Karanja preached at three day conference at Cross point international ministries, Kawempe. The main theme for the conference was Africa must be saved. I went to this conference because I wanted to see, whether an African PhD pastor from America was a bit different from the likes of creflo $$$ , Benny Hinn etc. I was greatly disappointed. I could not believe that this young preacher has been so much brainwashed by the American gospel . The guy preached for three days but rarely did he talk about repentance, purity, holiness and righteousness. He came with young men from Kenya , one of these young men had palmed hair, the other had an ear ring . It was amazing to see how the world had eaten these young men. As Dr.Karanja preached the christians shouted with joy and virtually every body was convinced that this was a great conference.

A SCRIPTURAL REBUTTAL OF THE PROSPERITY GOSPEL
http://watchmanafrica.blogspot.com/2010/07/scriptural-rebuttal-of-prosperity.html
What pastor David Karanja told us?
Dominion thelogy and Pure Blashemy?
He told us that the word church comes from the Greek word ‘’ekklesia’’ which means a group of senators . He told us that we are members of Parliament representing God’s interests on Earth? He told us that heaven is controlled from earth. The theatric Doctor said that out of ignorance we think that we should call on heaven to intervene in our problems yet we have been given authority from heaven that whatever we loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. He said that all problems in Africa and in the world should be blamed on born again christians who have not used their authority of loosing and binding. He told us that we are gods(Psams 82 and John 10:34). He said that he hates the verse in Pslams 82 which says ..but you will die like mere men. He implicitly said that we should ignore this verse because we are kings destined to rule and dominate.
He told us that Jesus came to give us ubandant life(read John 10 and compare with I John 5:11). Abadant life according this eloquent doctor means we should sleep in the best hotels in the world, drive the best cars, own the best planes, eat the best food, own the best houses etc.(Note that the abundant life Jesus was talking about in Jon 10 is basically eternal life. Simple logic shows that this life of eating , driving etc can not abadant because it ends at physical death). He told the congregation that all their problems have persisted because they do not believe. He said that Jesus healed us long time ago and therefore if you are sick, blame your self. He gave us the keys we should use to open our blessings ie the key of Authority, the Key of Acess, control etc
Dr. David Karanja told us to copy the Nigerian example. In Nigeria the pastors have learned how to use the different keys of success, no wonder some pastors in Nigeria have two planes. He in fact told us that he will one time buy his own plane. As he preached I almost wept at the ignorance of the congregation. Many were so naïve to know that the young doctor was giving them poison. I could see how the Ugandan Pentecostal church has been totally shallowed by the American anti-christ gospel.
Dr. David Karanja contradicts himself
He told us that heaven is controlled from the earth and then quoted a verse from chronicles which says if my people humble them selves and pray and forsake their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and heal their land. Many foolish Christians in this congregation could not dicern that according to this verse, it is clear that heaven is in control.
Pastor Karanja told us that we are priests and kings(Rev.5:10) and therefore we should start behaving like priests and kings. It is however interesting that he believes in tithing in this new era of Grace. If believers are priests, how can priests pay tithes?
The million dollar question in my head
As Pastor David Karanja preached all this poison , I asked my self a question , What if this guy drops dead at the pulpit , would he go to heaven or hell??? Dear Pastors and preachers, have you ever asked your self, supposing I drop dead after preaching this message, would the message condemn me to hell.

Christians should not tithe, they should give
http://www.yesumulungi.com/index.php/apostasy-watch/359-pastor-namutebis-theology-the-forbidden-in-tree-in-genesis-was-the-tithe-.html
Dr. David Karanja told us that we are destined to walk in devine health and therefore we should never get sick etc. Note:It is written that Elisha had a double portion anointing (2 kings 2:9), but how comes this greatly anointed man of GOD died of sickness (2 kings 13:14). These prosperity parrots are teaching that a christian should never get sick, should not be poor etc . Pastor Frederick K. Price has actually taught that if you are sick, the Holy Spirit can not live in your sick body. These pimps are saying that Africans are poor because of their stupid ignorance. They are hiding the fact most of the poverty in Africa is fundamentally structural. They do not want you to know that their favoutire Babylon USA has and is still supporting policies in Africa that keep people poor.
The strong delusion
Be ware that church in Uganda and else where has been infested with the strong delusion of 2 Thesa. God has allowed these haters of truth to believe a lie. Many Christians have totally forsaken the bible in favour of their flesh and particularly their eyes. Christians at Kawempe fell prey to the lies of Pastor David Karanja because they trusted in his expensive suits(the guy changed a suit in every session) and theatrics instead of the word of God.
Apostle Dr.David Karanja’s incredible theology
He believes in dominion theology, tithing, generation curses, material prosperity and all that TBN junk. He actually told us that if Jesus lived during our time, he would be owining a plane.
My dear brother and sister in Christ, satan has come out with incredible ministers, signs and wonders. If you put your trust in your flesh instead of the word of God, there is no doubt you will be deceived.

About Apostle David Karanja
http://www.christharvesters.org/visionary.htm
Apostle Dr, David Karanja, the leader and the visionary of Christ Harvesters Ministries International was born in Ngecha village in Kenya. He accepted Christ in April 1986 while he was still in High school. Since then, he has been committed and faithful to his walk with Christ. He is married to Sister Teresiah Karanja and together has been blessed with four children Lucy, John, Stephen and Benjamin.
Apostle Dr. David received a call to ministry in 1989 while pursuing a career in accounting. Having heard the voice of God, he knew that his future was not in accounting but in ministry. He immediately obeyed the call and became a Pastor of a congregation of less than a 100 members in Kenya. Even though God was touching and changing lives in Kenya through him, he knew that God had a great future for him. He left Kenya in 2001 to pursue the desire and a dream that God had put in his heart. He joined Beulah Heights University in Atlanta Georgia and graduated in May 2005 with a BA in Leadership and Administration. In April 2007, he earned a master’s degree in Church Leadership at Southwestern Christian University in Bethany Oklahoma. On June 26th 2010, he graduated with a Doctor of ministry degree.
In 2004, he started Christ Harvesters Ministries International with only 7 members including his family. Under the leadership of Apostle David and First Lady Teresiah Karanja, this ministry has grown from 7 to more than 1000 members in a span of 4 years. He has led the church from a mobile home to owning a 12 acre property in Dallas Highway, Marietta, Georgia. Christ Harvesters Ministries International has grown in every area providing ministries and services that impact every area of life.
The desire of Apostle Dr. David is to see many individuals delivered, healed, restored and walking into their God given destiny. In May 2005, He received a mandate from God to take over this territory. Since then Rd. Apostle David and Teresiah Karanja , along with the entire Christ Harvesters Ministries International family has endeavored to fulfill this mandate. The taking over this territory for Jesus has been a spiritual journey that has seen many lives touched and transformed. Some have given their lives to Jesus; others have been delivered and restored to walk into their God ordained destiny. In addition, Apostle Dr. David has been used by God to touch lives in more than 24 nations all over the world through the free DVDs outreach.
Apostle Dr. David believes that greater days of ministry are those ahead. He is determined to pursue what God has put in his heart and to walk many into their God given destiny. He has a divine call to mentor other leaders into their calling through a ministry called “The Fathers Heart.” He has been a catalyst of change for many leaders by inspiring them with his wisdom and knowledge. More to being a dynamic leader and a mentor, he also operates under the anointing of an apostle, a pastor, a prophet as well as a teacher. His Leadership in Christ Harvesters Ministries International is raising a generation that will shake the world with the uncompromised truth of the gospel.
What the Bible says about giving
http://www.christharvesters.org/biblegiving.htm
It is our desire that you be informed about the biblical and theological call for us to be a giving people. Indeed, we feel that the Christian faith, in so many ways, is all about giving. God gave his only begotten son and that son, Jesus Christ, gave his own life for our salvation from sin and eternal death.
THREE TYPES OF GIVING
A) Offering
B) Firstfruits
C) Tithe
WHY DO I HAVE TO TITHE?
In Mathew 4:5-6 the devil tried to trick Jesus to violate a certain principle. He wanted him to throw Himself down from the pinnacle of the temple. Which principle was this? The principle of gravity! Jesus knew by breaking it, the consequences would even mean aborting his destiny through premature death.
Tithing is a principle that has consequences when violated.
When we violate the tithing principle, these are the consequences:
1. We walk under a financial curse, Malachi 3:9, “You are cursed with a curse, For you have robbed Me, Even this whole nation. This means that no matter how much we earn we will still struggle.”
2. The devourer is allowed in our lives. Devourer are those things that are allowed to destroy our families, health, finances. etc. Examples of devourers are court fines, hospital bills, unnecessary car breakdowns, rebellion/ breakups in families, struggle in business, unfruitfulness; spiritually and materially.
What are the benefits of a tither?
- God open for you the windows of heaven and pour out blessings, there will be no enough room to receive. Malachi 3:10, “Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, That there may be food in My house, And try Me now in this,” Says the LORD of hosts, “ If I will not open for you the windows of heaven And pour out for you such blessing that there will not be room enough to receive it.”
- God rebukes the devourer for your sake, Malachi 3:11, “And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, So that he will not destroy the fruit of your ground, Nor shall the vine fail to bear fruit for you in the field,” Says the LORD of hosts;
- God commit himself to deal with anything that:
- Destroy the fruits of your ground, the fruits of your ground may be your family, health, paycheck etc.
- Nor will the vine fail to bear fruits in the field. God has guaranteed to protect your harvest e.g
- Any business you do will bear fruit
- Your Christian life will bear fruits etc
3. And all nations will call you blessed, Malachi 3:12. When we tithe the blessings of God will manifest and the nations will testify. Helpful resources on giving: Genesis 14:20, Leviticus 27:30, 2nd Chronicles 31:5 Nehemiah 10:37, and Hebrews 7:5

American Based Kenyan Prosperity theatrician, Apostle Dr. David Karanja spews Prosperity Venon at Cross Point Church, Kawempe- Kampala
These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the midst of darkness is reserved for ever.(2 Peter 2:17)
For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the fresh… .(2 Peter 2:18)
14Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch. (Matthew 15:14)
AMERICA, AMERICA WHY HAVE YOU DONE THIS TO AFRICA???
From 24-25 July 2010 Apostle Dr. David Karanja preached at three day conference at Cross point international ministries, Kawempe. The main theme for the conference was Africa must be saved. I went to this conference because I wanted to see, whether an African PhD pastor from America was a bit different from the likes of creflo $$$ , Benny Hinn etc. I was greatly disappointed. I could not believe that this young preacher has been so much brainwashed by the American gospel . The guy preached for three days but rarely did he talk about repentance, purity, holiness and righteousness. He came with young men from Kenya , one of these young men had palmed hair, the other had an ear ring . It was amazing to see how the world had eaten these young men. As Dr.Karanja preached the christians shouted with joy and virtually every body was convinced that this was a great conference.

A SCRIPTURAL REBUTTAL OF THE PROSPERITY GOSPEL
http://watchmanafrica.blogspot.com/2010/07/scriptural-rebuttal-of-prosperity.html
What pastor David Karanja told us?
Dominion thelogy and Pure Blashemy?
He told us that the word church comes from the Greek word ‘’ekklesia’’ which means a group of senators . He told us that we are members of Parliament representing God’s interests on Earth? He told us that heaven is controlled from earth. The theatric Doctor said that out of ignorance we think that we should call on heaven to intervene in our problems yet we have been given authority from heaven that whatever we loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. He said that all problems in Africa and in the world should be blamed on born again christians who have not used their authority of loosing and binding. He told us that we are gods(Psams 82 and John 10:34). He said that he hates the verse in Pslams 82 which says ..but you will die like mere men. He implicitly said that we should ignore this verse because we are kings destined to rule and dominate.
He told us that Jesus came to give us ubandant life(read John 10 and compare with I John 5:11). Abadant life according this eloquent doctor means we should sleep in the best hotels in the world, drive the best cars, own the best planes, eat the best food, own the best houses etc.(Note that the abundant life Jesus was talking about in Jon 10 is basically eternal life. Simple logic shows that this life of eating , driving etc can not abadant because it ends at physical death). He told the congregation that all their problems have persisted because they do not believe. He said that Jesus healed us long time ago and therefore if you are sick, blame your self. He gave us the keys we should use to open our blessings ie the key of Authority, the Key of Acess, control etc
Dr. David Karanja told us to copy the Nigerian example. In Nigeria the pastors have learned how to use the different keys of success, no wonder some pastors in Nigeria have two planes. He in fact told us that he will one time buy his own plane. As he preached I almost wept at the ignorance of the congregation. Many were so naïve to know that the young doctor was giving them poison. I could see how the Ugandan Pentecostal church has been totally shallowed by the American anti-christ gospel.
Dr. David Karanja contradicts himself
He told us that heaven is controlled from the earth and then quoted a verse from chronicles which says if my people humble them selves and pray and forsake their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and heal their land. Many foolish Christians in this congregation could not dicern that according to this verse, it is clear that heaven is in control.
Pastor Karanja told us that we are priests and kings(Rev.5:10) and therefore we should start behaving like priests and kings. It is however interesting that he believes in tithing in this new era of Grace. If believers are priests, how can priests pay tithes?
The million dollar question in my head

THE YOUTH
Apart from women being one group that has been targeted as an entity false gospels the youth is another group that is facing a major onslaught form not only prosperity gospel proponents but Mainline denominations which are faced with dwindling numbers.
As usual the onslaught is about Control, Power and Money.
One reason why the youth are a hot target is because they signify growth. When you have young people in your church ,you
have couples. Then you have marriages then you have families-that is the easiest and most stable way of multiplication in the eyes of the wolves.
Pastor Muriethi, Kenyan Pastor of Hose of Grace church used this tactic very well by teaching on his Sunday morning programs about dating and getting the right mate. Well you guessed it right …. the youth were attracted, at least a number. Next thing they had couples night ,that is enough to making the nuptial bells grow louder. Next you have families in your church.. marketing at its best.
What his program and others have shown is that most youth do not attend church.It has been stated that only 8% attend church on Sunday in Nairobi.Yet there are many hyped up youth churches. We shall consider this later.
Due to traditions of men in the church many youth became apathetic towards Christianity.
Historically, the youth were not considered religious at least in the early 50s until the 60s culture revolution ultimately led to the formation of the Jesus movement which gave Christianity a new lease of life among young people.
Once the Jesus movement cooled down, church leaders thought they got an idea what the youth wanted.
Instead of changing their dead man traditions and false doctrines of men, they opted to lure the youth to their institutions using culture. Culture entailed the Arts -music drama and dance and language.
This brought forth Contemporary Christianity and things such as Christian Contemporay Music. This form of Christianity spread fast thanks to the Vineyard Movement and TBN, PTL etc.Within no time, the TV and Radio were the new parents and new pastors since from these mediums the youth culture and op culture arose.
However from 2000 onwards the bait that lured young people back again to the institutions began to change shape. This was due to the Kirk Franklin revolution that brought out lyrics that challenged the status quo and styles that shocked the status quo.
This revolution exposed that the youth were still not satisfied by what institutional religion offered. But in the name of getting numbers the churches that sneered at Kirk Franklin’s style employed it into thei churches just to capture numbers.
In the mix of this came the Prosperity Gospel that spread like wildfire thanks to TBN. It could not have come at better time when the youth were desperate.
Young people make up the lowest economic class in society. Yet they are hopeful to make it the system of the world.
With visions of success and going to a higher level the Prosperity Gospel was food to the soul to many youth.
Thus Mainline churches also changed their sermons to fit into the chase for the numbers. Again the churches treat their members as prey and not as a family.
As if that was not all, the new preaching of Buddy Jesus was the order of the day and still is. Jesus was made a homey but mentioning that he hates iniquity and loves righteousness was considered to judgmental for the youth. This is what gave room to the Seeker friendly churches where practically everything that the members like is sanctified and used even if it is unscriptural and worldly.
This far have young people been carried away by such marketing gimmicks and sweets because they are seen as fodder and not as people who need to walk in the ways of Jesus Christ. The love of the world has made so many young people drunk
I always pray for shaking to shaking them from their stupor.
What the young gullible people do not see is that despite all the hype and the crackers, it is all about Obeying God-that what matters. The false notion of separating Jesus form his word to accommodate young people is just falling into the same dead man traditions.
Just because it sounds cool and hip does not mean that it is not dead. It is still poisonous when worldliness is baptized in the waters of Christian words. One still remains empty i the heart ,carrying the heavy burden of false Christian entertainment instead of the Yoke of Jesus, following him.
Either it is the word of God or following churches that are experts at entertaining but awfully poor at making you grow spiritually when that is the number one reason why people are supposed to fellowship. The youth are caught in the trap and they cannot see it.
In Christ Jesus,

THE HUMAN PREY OF POLITICAL CHRISTIANITY AND PROSPERITY GOSPEL
1.WOMEN
One interesting population that is being abused in Christendom happens to be women.
Women happen to be the leading faithful attendants of Christian activity,surpassing men, at least here in Africa.
However a dangerous power is using women for the selfish goals far away from spiritual goals.It is sheer kidnapping dressed in religious language.
Since the church has been invaded by politics and businesses,the prey happens to be the members of
the gatherings.And since the members are mostly women, tactics that easily capture women are employed
to make the prey fall into the trap.
Politics needs numbers ,Businesses need numbers and the church has been the most safe place
to gather numbers at a go because of the religious inclination of people.
Today women have suffered the brunt of a society marked with a lot of financial strain and unjust economics.
The number of widows and single mothers is astonishing.Many have worked hard and managed despite
the hard condition of absent men.
On the other side ,the same economy has created a new class of educated rich women who have ‘made it’
and seem to be the drivers of their lives.Though most of them still get married.
HOW ARE WOMEN USED AS HUMAN SHIELDS- THE TWO ISSUES
Of course most of the churches hold conferences and have ministries that cater for the needs of women .
Sadly due to prosperity gospel, most are attending church to hear feel good messages instead of getting the whole counsel of God’s word.
Politically and Socially , the population of women is higher than that of men at least in Kenya and Uganda.
The ramifications of such a number politically is to appease and use the biggest group so as to employ it for political gain .Laws that favor women, or promise women benefits are seen to be goodies that are used to attract women to the side that is offering them.
One tool employed is Women Role models , who happen to be” born again Christians” showing how they are an example for the women to follow.For example First ladies who profess Christianity are a good blanket for any political group that wants to gain the votes of women.
Another tool is using God’s name.Because God’s name is very holy and revered by all God fearing people, when Christian leaders use it to sanctify a political goal,it scares the followers to do what they are saying even when it is wrong.
The current Constitution referendum campaigns have forced Christian leaders to invoke the name of God to scare Christians to do what they are saying .In Christian Politics, arguments are shut down with the “Your leaders are on God’s side,therefore it is the right side.”
Actually the current political battle is going to reveal whether Kenyans are political or religious.However I predict that most women will follow religious leaders while the most men will vote for the proposed constitution.In reality Christians are called to be prophetic and not political
The question is not about who supports who but who will win.I wonder whether they have given the options available if the vote becomes a tie ?
From the looks of things the women vote can be used as an excuse for not passing the law hence breeding chaos in Kenya.
Educated women are also good bait for many rising cults and false prophets.Many of these educated women have learnt the falsehood about today’s Christianity and the historic deceptions of mainline denominations.
They are now being nabbed by dangerous false teachers and led to overthrow their faith.
We pray that God protects these lambs who are seeking truth.It is however a fulfillment of the words of Jesus that wolves dressed in sheep clothing will devour the innocent sheep.
Women should only submit first to the Lord in spiritual matters and not a man or other woman who claims to be the anointed one lest they shall be deceived and abused and misused.

1.WOMEN
One interesting population that is being abused in Christendom happens to be women.
Women happen to be the leading faithful attendants of Christian activity,surpassing men, at least here in Africa.
However a dangerous power is using women for the selfish goals far away from spiritual goals.It is sheer kidnapping dressed in religious language.
Since the church has been invaded by politics and businesses,the prey happens to be the members of
the gatherings.And since the members are mostly women, tactics that easily capture women are employed
to make the prey fall into the trap.
Politics needs numbers ,Businesses need numbers and the church has been the most safe place
to gather numbers at a go because of the religious inclination of people.
Today women have suffered the brunt of a society marked with a lot of financial strain and unjust economics.
The number of widows and single mothers is astonishing.Many have worked hard and managed despite
the hard condition of absent men.
On the other side ,the same economy has created a new class of educated rich women who have ‘made it’
and seem to be the drivers of their lives.Though most of them still get married.

HATRED -OF GOD AND MAN-THE HEART OF PROSPERITY AND DOMINIONISM /POLITICAL CHRISTIANITY GOSPELS

Dominionist/False Political Christian Project SEE'S vengeful reproving of sin- GEN 9:6 verse is in Swahili
When one turns to Christian Media, a lot is said about the vanities of the earth, such as riches and politics.Little is mentioned about whole truth as half truths litter the airwaves and blogosphere.What all should know is that these half truths exude nothing but love for this world which is hatred of God and fellow man in the end.
The Word of God is clear that love of the world or being a friend of this world is enmity with God Yet we are perfected by the love of God when we die or are separated from the world yet in the world.
The World includes the things it has to offer such as money, riches, possessions, positions, fame and many other man made trappings .
It is not that we are not to have these things ands share with others nor is work an evil thing. It is that pursuit of these things can blind and destroy one’s walk and relationship with God. You cannot serve both God and Money.
Sadly this what most modern false gospels are saying_ that you can serve both God and the world at the same time. This is impossible because you will definitely hate one and love the other. When you love the world the Love of God is not in you and what remains is hatred for God and then hate for your neighbor.
PROSPERITY GOSPEL _ BREEDS HATRED OF GOD AND MAN
This one gospel pumps one up to desire the riches of this fading world.”Get the best for your life now !”-the dream car, promotion, dream houses.Yet the audience or congregation that is hearing such sweet things has more than enough of those worldly possessions.
No contentement but greed enhanced among people who are supposed to be content and sharing with those in need around them.
This gospel spreads hate for God as one seeks the things of this world instead of seeking God in truth. Yet we love God by keeping his word and his commandments are summed in love for Him and love for our neighbor. Prosperity seekers end up ignoring God’s word to listen to smooth words of sweet liars.
The love of the things of this world breeds selfishness and jealousy. All you think about is me , myself and I;My stomach, my hair, my next car, my second house, my looks. This subtly creates the hate for fellow man ,how ? well it is all about you and only you not about your fellow’s house yet he is homeless or his stomach yet he has no food to eat being a casual laborer.
Anyone that hinders your attainment of the things of this world is marked as and enemy. Envy, jealousy, bitterness(all works of the flesh ) arise because one is exalted in pride in pursuit of their best life in this world.
No wonder Christian book sores in Africa are sadly filled with books that are vengeful and filled with cursing of enemies in the name of protecting your wealth or removing the obstacles that hinder your breakthrough. Yet Jesus Christ the Lord of Lords commands us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute you.
DOMINIONISM OR POLITICAL GOSPEL- using Christian Morality and Laws to change People.
This false gospel that Christians need to take over government and make Christian laws and constitutions reeks with hatred for God and man.
It sanctifies false evil unions of church and state(through registration of churches ), church and bank, church and company ,church and scientist in the name of cleaning up the world for Christ. Yet these bodies are antichrist and not interested in the things of God. Yet God has given us everything we need to live for Him. How come these political Christians feel that we as Christians do not have enough.
This is idolatry , spiritual fornication that is also an abomination in the sight of God. This act of seeking other masters and lovers in the name of redemption is nothing but loving the politics of this world and money therein.
Moreover the hatred for man rises out from this gospel through the ’holier than thou attitude “ or Pharisee hypocrisy that is exhibited in the so called Christian laws and legislations that condemn prostitutes, homosexuals and abortionists amongst others.
Yes these are sins and abominations but also the accusers of these sins are not to preach hatred but repentance.Yes we are to expose evil and reprove the works of darkness but not with the aim of vengenace and in the name of making our countries Christian by force.
These Political Christians like Project See believe that laws are what makes holy or right before God.God is concerned about repentance and not laws especially when a country has declared itself secular.
How many times do we hear about the so called Dominionists shooting abortion doctors and some Christians leaders justify it. How about those who justify Guantanamo Bay yet it is well known that many do not know the charges held against them ? That is injustice, to imprison someone who has not commited a crime.This is injustice was endorsed by a “born again President” President Bush who also disallows abortion.If you do not abort but you injustly punish an innocent person you are also a transgressor.
SPEAKING THE TRUTH ABOUT SIN IN SOCIETY.
Yes we are to rebuke one another with te word of God when one is in error of God’s word.However we are not to use the word of God as the basis to make the laws of a secular state.That means the Church becomes the head of government which is evil since Jesus kingdom is not of this world yet he is the head of the church.
In stead of preaching the truth in love and the gospel of repentance, it is hateful threats and calls for war that emanates out of the so called Political Christians or Redeemers of Society.
What Jesus said is to be our final authority. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the only message of the church today to a dying world.
Constitutions and the laws of Men and University rules are not the word of God and therefore cannot change men and women even though they give as human order.This is why we have strict laws against theft and peole are still stealing and robbing.We have laws against abortion and ladies are still aborting.
So what is wrong is it the law or the people? And if it is the people how can you help them change ? Preach the word of God, the gospel of Jesus in truth and deed.That is the only word that can change a person.Christians ought to know better.
Yet Jesus said that where your heart is there lies your treasure. You cannot have your heart with God in heaven if it is focused on the best life now in this world with all the fading treasures of today ‘s world.
Those sugar coated TBN messages are messages are just love for this world’s politics and money .Hence if you hold such gospels and teachings you are inenmity with God because God is righteous and cannot hold the unrighteous things of this world which lies in the hand so of the wicked one.
Yet LOVE involves telling someone the truth.The truth is that there is a lot of immorality in Kneya and the world and Jesus said it would be and that it would increase in the last days .We cannot stop what has to be fulfilled.
This is not a call to fatalism but a call to understand the times and walk in the will of God. Using politics to exalt Jesus, using legislations to show that we are good Christians is not the way to go .
.Have we preached the gospel to these people we call “sinners”? And if they have rejected the gospel message we have nopower to shoot them down or wish them awya from the world.We also need to respect their choice.God will judge all.Forcing holiness through man made laws is hypocritical.
It is idolatry of politics or Law (also an abomination like homosexuality) because Christians are depending on Laws instead of Jesus Christ to bring salvation.
PREACH THE TRUTH OF JESUS CHRIST IN LOVE KNOWING THAT WE HAVE ALL SINNED AND FALLEN SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD.Warning evry man too get saved to be deliverd from God’s wrath.
Why should corupt polticians be applauded when they support anti abortion laws and anti-homosexual laws yet they have more than two wives, they have concubines, they sleep with university girls.Yet Christians want to use the same politicans to do what they want instead of alos calling the politicans who support them to repentance.
Politics did not die on the cross neither did money thus you cannot use those tools to change man.Preach Jesus and Repenatnce of sins that is what changes a man and if a man refuses leave gthem in the hands of the Lord .It is not for us to change man but man to allow God to sanctify him.We shall all be judged at the judgment seat of Christ every man for his deeds.

Laodecian Christianity in Today’s world
How can one talk of exponential growth of the Christian population when it is said that 80% believe in Prosperity Gospel in Africa (in fact it is the reason of conversion ) ? How can one talk of the shift of Christendom in numbers to Africa when Western Christianity,the brand that is in Africa has turned the West into an agnostic society ?..Look at the recent Catholic church scandals…minsters have been serving sin and not God yet it is the biggest Christian church ?!! These are days of mourning,Godly sorrow not rejoicing in the success of man made gospel empires.
This irony or oxymoron proves one thing : THINGS ARE AWFULLY WRONG IN CHRISTENDOM AND MANY CHURCHES WHEN MANY THINK THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. Yes many churches in Christendom boast of abundant physical riches and money and assets.But poverty abounds in sound doctrine the word of God and the life and example of Jesus Christ and the early church.Yet this poverty leads to eternal destruction and weeping.
Christendom in the past 100 years ( very short time ) has amassed the largest amount of riches more than all the church ages combined. But these riches have not cured the biting spiritual poverty existing therein.The numerous scandals in Christendom are proof of DEEP SPIRITUAL POVERTY AMIDST PLENTY OF PHYSICAL RICHES.
Examples
Catholic Church Physical Riches
Land Property
Banks and Insurance Companies
The Roman Catholic church is an International Political body thanks to the Pope being the Holy See hence has international personality.
Schools and Univeristies, Seminaries etc
Orphanages and Homes for Disabled.
Radio and Television stations….the list of riches is endless
Recent Signs of Spiritual Poverty in the Catholic Church
Sexual Abuse of Children …. Germany, Kenya, Uganda, USA, Ireland,
False and Heretical Doctrines… Infant Baptism instead of Repent and Believe,Rosary, Easter Christmas.
Spiritual Fornication…Mixing with the world’s rich men and politicians making agreements
Anglican/Episcopal /Lutheran/ Baptist..Protestant Church
Land Property
Banks and Insurance Companies
Schools and Univeristies, Seminaries etc
Orphanages and Homes for Disabled.
Radio and Television stations….the list of riches is also endless
Recent Signs of Spiritual Poverty in the Methodist /Anglican/Episcopal /Lutheran/ Baptist..Protestant Church
Homosexuality and Transgendered ministers
Economic corruption through unjust pricing of services to people
False Doctrines of Unscriptural Religious Rites …some Infant Baptism, others Once Saved always Saved doctrine,..NO REPENTANCE AND ENDURING SOUND DOCTRINE
Ecumenism or unity of churches
Diversion from New Testament Church practices.
Spiritual Fornication…Mixing with the world’s rich men and politicians making agreements such as False Peace for Israel or Two State Solution, United Nations partnerships etc.
Evangelical Pentecostal Church ( also some End Time Remnant/Non Denominational churches )Physical Riches
Mega church buildings
Jets, Ships, assets and big profits competing with multinational companies
Pyramid schemes and Micro finance projects
Radio and Television kingdoms…. raking in millions on millions
Bible Schools and Universities
New York best seller books and gigantic Christian book market.
Big Entertainment industry..or the Church in Holly wood movement..Look at the millions CCM and Gospel music is bringing…DOLLARS NOT REPENTANT SOULS and Bible observing Christians
Spiritual Fornication…Political Lobby groups IN USA AND Israel..Politics of this world cannot solve Israel issue only the Word of God of which Politics of this world is against…. Partnerships with companies and other merchants of the world for money’s sake
Recent Signs of Spiritual Poverty in the Evangelical , Pentecostal Church
Many cases of Divorce, Adultery , Sodomy
Grand Theft…. lack of financial accountability
Diverse False Doctrines…. Prosperity Gospel, Political Domionism, False Revivals, Pre Tribulation/Left Behind end time teachings
Divisons and Competition like compnaies
Spiritual Fornication…Political Lobby groups IN USA AND Israel..Politics of this world cannot solve Israel issue only the Word of God of which Politics of this world is against…. Partnerships with companies and other merchants of the world for money’s sake
To add more salt to the wound, these churches call themselves champions of physical poverty,champions of feeding the poor, champions of entertainment industry, International Peace makers
but are Losing the real BATTLE AND WAR OF SIN, THE WORLD AND SATAN. Why ?
The above works are not the works of the Holy Spirit but the works of Satan.Yet through Jesus Christ the works of Satan are destroyed and even if we fall we are more than conquerors overcoming by the word of our testimony (hence mortifying the deeds of theflesh ) and by the blood of the Lamb.\
So it seems it is not the Holy Spirit who is teaching Christendom but Satan has taken over Christendom.The riches mentioned are unrighteous mammon and not the spiritual blessings and riches promised to the church first before inheriting the earth at the return of Jesus Christ.
It is sane to say that more money in Christendom actually led to more evil in Christendom and acceleration of apostasy not the Gospel of Jesus Christ
Some Christians are right in saying there is need of a complete overhaul of such powerless Christianity but how can that be when ;
There are more so called Christian denominations/heresies and sects than in Islam, (a false religion)
The number of false doctrines are innumerable and many are killing the spiritual lives of many,taking many to hell.
There are very many different English versions( or perversions ) of the Bible,yet God’s word is one and English is one language. Moreover the versions are corrupting the word of God..blasphemy.
There are different interpretations of well explained and open faced scripture yet the scripture is of no private interpretation as Peter the apostle stated. The so called various interpretations exalted in Bible Schools are sign of rejecting the Holy Spirit and proof of private interpretations…APOSTASY.
This is abundant proof that Christendom is one big Babel dom or home of confusion..a Religious Babylon for God is not the author of Confusion
Jesus truly warned of many Christs, many false prophets many being deceived but also promised that those who endure to the end shall be saved. This is endurance to sound doctrine by doing what the Lord says and abiding in his word no matter the cost.
The call of Jesus Christ is the same to all his flock…REPENT OR PERISH
Luke 13 : 5 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
Rev 3: 17 -19….Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
The above exposure is not denying the fact that Christians battle with the flesh .IT is an exposure of the losing battle in Christendom yet we have victory in Jesus Christ. It is irony to say you have Christ but the works of Satan are what are manifesting from such a testimony. No remorse ,no repentance or grief only excuses,justifications and covering of sin. Today’s Christendom is headed for dead end destruction because God is holy and without holiness no man will see him.
IT is time to return to the whole counsel of God’s word back to the basics; there is no excuse..the first church did it ..they worked out their salvation with fear and trembling..so the same goes for all of us in these days where iniquity is abounding.
