THE AGENTS OF SATAN IN DISGUISE

1. PROSPERITY PREACHERS - The preachers who preach more on earthly blessings than heavenly preparation. For example, if you follow 10 consecutive messages of a preacher, maybe his Sunday sermons, books, yearly watchwords or tapes, and 6 out of the 10 messages focus on blessings, success, healing or any earthly stuff, that preacher is a prosperity preacher, and that is a supreme agent of Satan in your community.

2. MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKERS - All motivational speakers in the church or in any ministry are agents of Satan. Starting from Normal Vincent Peale - the father of all motivational speakers and prosperity preachers - the man who compared Jesus Christ with Sigmund Freud, believing that Gospel should be like a social psychology for emotional relief, to motivate and uplift people even in their sins. If you don't know the motive and people behind what you claim, you may be on a wrong path. Motivational and prosperity preaching is another gospel Apostle Paul warned us against.

3. PROBLEMATIC PRAYER MINISTERS - These are the ministers whose prayers focus more on problems of life than purity of life, they ignorantly pray against satanic forces more than sinful natures; they battle deliverance from enemy's bondage more than bondage of sin. They emphasis on demonic attacks, generational curses, evil arrows, and pray "fall down and die" prayers. They pray and fast to be free from enemy bondage than to be free from bondage of adamic nature, they pray against the witches and wizards in their families to die than they pray for the sinners in their families to be saved. These are agents of Satan in disguise. Be warned!

4. MIRACLE PREACHERS– These set of preachers whose priority is miracle, they believe follow signs and wonders which lead them unbiblical activities such as INCESSANT usage of anointing oil, candle, water, handkerchiefs, Jerusalem stuffs, and other stuffs which make them look more like soothsayers. Jesus Christ said signs and wonders shall follow believes (Mark 16:17), but they follow after signs and wonders which had led many into cult groups. Any preacher that preaches more on miracle than message of salvation and sanctification is an agent of Satan in this end time.

5. RICH PREACHERS – Any full time preacher who is financially or materially rich is an agent of Satan! You are marveled? Then let’s go into the Bible. First, there is different between a full time preacher and part-time preacher, there is different between an Elder and a pastor, prophet or an Evangelist. From the Books of Genesis to Revelation in the Bible, there was no single full-time-called minister who was a rich man or woman in the ministry; priests, prophets or apostles. Those who were rich before they were called into full time ministry were to forfeit their earthly riches. Starting from the priests and Levites who were forbidden landed heritage in Israel or the prophets in the Old Testament or the Apostles in the New Testaments – Immediately they were commissioned into the ministry, the earthly gains and riches faded away from their ambitions “But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ. 8 Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ” Philippians 3:7, 8.

Since the inception of the church, there was no rich preacher of genuine Gospel from Martin Luther to John Wesley to D. L Muddy until early 1950s when Normal Vincent Peale came with another gospel.

6. LUXURIOUS PREACHERS - You never wonder why the founders of faith lived a simple and moderate lifestyle in opposite of the present day preachers? It is because they don’t have the same gospel. All ministers who live luxurious lifestyles, use expensive things, pile up money in their bank accounts, own houses in different places, have private jets are all agents of Satan. Check them, they all have same types of messages, methods and mission; they are anointed agents of Satan all over the world.

7. Money Making Ministers – MMM. (Funny enough, I wrote  this message before I knew about the current MMM) These are the ministers who care and collect your money through different means for their personal gains. Some years ago, I went to a church here in Abuja, and I was told in the church that they were having a yearly Holy Ghost night, and their daddy G.O was to come, and they said anyone who want to see Daddy G.O in a private meeting would buy a card for N15, 000 so the person would be permitted to see their Daddy G.O in a private meeting. The same church also asked their members to redeem their firstborn with amount of money; some churches sell anointing oil, water, handkerchief, etc. and another dubious way these money making ministers are using to enrich their pockets is by first fruit offering, telling people to give their first salary of the year to the senior pastor, for what? Just to enrich him and family at the detriment of the members. MMM’s school fees are more expensive than Government school to enrich their pockets.

BIBLE ADMONITION
“ If anyone teaches otherwise and does not consent to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which accords with godliness, 4 he is proud, knowing nothing, but is obsessed with disputes and arguments over words, from which come envy, strife, reviling, evil suspicions, 5 useless wranglings of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. From such withdraw yourself.

6 Now godliness with contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain[c]we can carry nothing out. 8 And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content. 9 But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition. 10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.2 1 Timothy 6:3-10
