GREEDY PREACHERS

Proverbs 22:16: He that oppresses the poor to increase his riches, and he that giveth to the rich, shall surely come to want (extreme poverty).

Experiences of ordinary people being sucked in then hooked on 'sowing a seed' to propagate the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Ban preacher Greed

Whore's days are numbered

Pay up - or else!

Many a minister of God today is no different than a robber without a gun.

He's off to the bank with your hard earned money.

“They (the Lord's shepherds) are as greedy as dogs, never satisfied; they are stupid shepherds, who only look after their own interest, each trying to get as much as he can from every possible source.” Isaiah 56 v 11

Robbery Religion

The Lord's own people are being treated like an overburdened mule forced to run a race with a heavy load on its back: the fat, pampered preacher is lashing at its flanks with a whip.

The scripture most cherished by these mean men is Malachi 3:9: Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.* * *Give US the tithe, they rant and roar, or God will send you to hell so fast you won’t know what hit you!”

The body of Christ is a fragmented, confused, downtrodden church, long been blown about by winds of strange “new” doctrines cooked up by deceitful ministers of darkness out for an easy living. Believers have been robbed of their rightful priesthood and position in Christ by those who elevate themselves high above the rest.

Members of Christ's Body designed to move in the power of the Holy Spirit to perform God's works on earth have been turned into dead appendages by “pulpit ministries” who tell them to shut up and submit and “lose their identities” in the name of a false submission to man made authority.

Humble members of the body of Christ are forbidden by their “spiritual overseers” to pass judgment on much of anything. Even the most blatant violations of God's Word are passed off as gospel truth, and timid sheep out in the pews are shamed out of rightly discerning the words that proceed from the pulpit to see whether they be true or not.

The Lord's people are intimidated out of judging the WORDS of “pulpit ministries” because they are told that to disagree with the “leadership” is a perilous sin of rebellion which brings terrible divine judgment. So they are effectively gagged from judging men of the cloth who violate Scriptural teaching which warns against peddling the Word of God for deceitful gain.

Jesus is being used not only as a slick marketing gimmick by peddlers of religious lies, but as hit men to enforce submission to so-called “God’s chain of command” in the institutional church. And what a chain it is! The “leadership” is closing ranks around THEIR altar and its ill-gotten gifts to make sure the laity doesn’t wise up and realise they are being duped.

Super-preachers in fancy suits see hard times coming. Their people are struggling harder than ever before just to keep food on their table and a roof over their heads. But these preachers of greed are getting paranoid with fear that hard economic days ahead are going to take a bite out of THEIR lavish lifestyle. So they are forging a chain link fence of lies to defend THEIR little kingdoms of greed and THEIR stash of cash from the intrusion of truth!

Many who once loved the God of creation have been so badly burnt by preacher lies and threats that they sadly turn their back on anything even remotely resembling church. They came to the conclusion that they couldn’t afford Christ anymore. Others lose all peace and much of their love for their saviour as they grudgingly write out a check for ten per cent of their hard-earned paychecks and grumble about the necessities they must do without for yet another week.

Nothing works better for those beastly buzzards in the pulpit than holding the threat of the “curse of Malachi” over people’s heads. But any wise person will at least read the beginning of a book to find out what it’s all about. Where are the HONEST ministers of God who will preach on Malachi Chapter One and admit it’s a book primarily addressed to the PRIESTS OF ISRAEL? It was the priests being reprimanded for despising the Lord's name, not the congregational worshipers!

If pulpit ministers are so eager to identify with the corrupt priesthood of an Israel gone astray, then why aren’t they also eager to claim the rebukes addressed to that priesthood in the Book of Malachi? The prophet Malachi did NOT utter his prophecy for the benefit of twenty-first century “Christian” charlatans eager to use it as a club to pound New Covenant believers over the head with.!
