Happy Saturday readers how did your day go? I would like to know if you don't mind at all. It's been a long day and I feel like some effort isn't worth it when we know the true solution to it, why still trying to do it the same way that we do it, that's when I realize that we might know the solution but it's not always in our power to do it, the person in charge should be the ones that do or he should permit us to do it, in case you were wondering what I am talking about, it's the bathroom, haha.

Today I will be writing about why people believe false news or perhaps false prophets, I believe that is the title. In Africa and most especially Nigeria, the churches that we have here are x10 more than factories that can provide jobs, you will see a church will buy a huge land that was owned by some industry before, they will demolish the industry and build a very big church in it and people will come and be praying for jobs.

Africa has so many pastors and inside many fake pastors are posing as real because they will make you believe that they are among the true pastors, though some of these pastors do evil things behind and when they are caught, the members that have been soaked and brainwash by the pastor will come out and be backing the pastor up, some will even go to the extent of insulting others that call their pastor false, yes I said it, religion is indeed the worst virus that has affected Africa.

I know must be wondering how these fake pastors usually get members, well it's very simple, I said simple and not easy, you just have to play your cards right and not let yourself screw it up because once it happened, well, it is what it is, without taking much of your time, let's dive right into it.

False prophets usually catch members with fake visions, for example, they will tell you about yourself, the place you were born, and how you grow up, this one is hard to resist cause you will be so convinced that your only option will be to believe the false pastor, recently @Danika wrote an article about how a friend that his mom trusted and tells everything about in their place of work turned against her and told the retired boss that his mother is a bad person that always gossips with her with others.

You won't blame the retired boss because the lady must have told her some things that only his mom and the retired boss know and that will make her believe, that's how they say the false vision too, they will tell you something that only you and just a person know about and the person is not even in the state as you again, they will tell you the kind of food you like eating, how you like your coffee, the routine you normally and so on.

There was something I heard about a popular pastor in my country some time ago and the person that said it, know him very well because he's into ministry too, let me use the name Adam as the pastor name, according to the man, the pastor was invited for a program at a big church in one of the state, so they lodged in the hotel for his staying till the end of the program.

The first day, of the program, went well, there were prophecies and you will see the mover of God around, the pastor that came to preach can see the vision and he saw a lot of vision to some people, the church was so blessed, so the next day the organized visited the pastor in his hotel room, I don't know if he badges in or knot.

When they got into his hotel room, they opened the door and saw papers of people names of people and the organizers was surprised when they saw the papers with people's names and details about them, according to the man, the pastor will send someone to start asking the members some questions about their selves with code (without suspicion).

Though people do fall for the false visions, the women are the ones who usually fall victim to them, ones they hear about prophecy and vision of what happened some years back, automatically they will believe the pastor and say that indeed he was sent from God, there's nothing you will tell the women that will make them believe the pastor is fake, they will be convincing you to join the ministry of the pastor.

I would have like to write more, but unfortunately, I will need to end it here and hope to continue it sometime in the future, cause I don't want to write 24 minutes read, haha.

I don't know why it happens to me sometimes. When I listen to a pastor speak, my mind doesn't align with him or her. There are fake pastors everywhere and we need to move closer to God to be able to discern the right from the wrong one. We need to be careful because they will come to you, sugarcoating things about you and before you know it, you have fallen into their prey.

It's so sad how many people now believe the pastors more than they believe the word of God which they are supposed to know and serve. Miracle seeker will always meet fake pastors and more period.

Even when you warn them that the person is a fake, you fit chop slap on top because they will say you're disrespecting their prophet who hears directly from God. And how do they know the prophet hears from God? Because they told them πŸ˜†. Anybody can be a prophet, all I just have to do is to wear white garment and keep telling you that God said I should tell you that your enemies are after your life πŸ˜‚

Those who don't understand the ways of God and have a close relationship with Him would always believe so called Pastors. Your Pastors should only confirm what God has already told you in secret. He is to witness to what you have already gotten conviction on. I don't always fall for it because I know I have access to God and I can pray to accept or change whatever I want. No one has the sole exclusive access to God...it only depends on how we develop ourselves in the secret place.

Shame on that pastor that would gather information on people to make it sound like God is the one revealing them. God doesn't need our help. Being a pastor is now a get rich quick scheme for many and only those who know their God would stand.

Exactly, they will just take their pastor as their god and I don’t fully blame them though, cause most pastors know what to preach to them in the Bible that will bring fear to their mind be they will start believing everything the pastor said.

Yes, it boils down on them not knowing who they are in God, so they get blown away by the wind of doctrines.

They simply just play on people's minds. Telling them what they know they want to hear.

Some of these" men of God" are magicians. Sometimes one wouldn't know when they have been received and that's why you see their members defending them hook line and sinker

Some of them do use juju so they can see and the Bible warned us against false prophets that they will come and do miracles and wonders and said that they are from God, so we have to be careful

People so much believe in miracles than praying by themselves so once they hear the lord sent me to you like this, they will be totally disturbed and be unstable. Miracles blind their eyes to see the truth.

Specifically, here in our little barrio, we have three religions. Each of the religion, believe in God, but about Jesus Christ, I really don't know if they believe that He is the Mighty One and our Saviour. But I do respect that..

I think some people do not believe so much in the God they worship so they are always waiting for a prophet to come and tell them shat will happen in their life. And they'll keep spending money unnecessarily

I was intrigued in this article. Hehehe. Same also here in our country, lot of Christian denominations were established, believing one God, believing JesusChrist but teaching different doctrines.
