How to tell a Fake Pastor
Fake pastor: Christianity is under threat by the deceiver and it seems like his agents (fake pastors) are out-competing themselves to see how many souls they will lead astray. A lot of the would-be “men of God” are not really what they say they are, they are the infamous wolves in sheepskin. They are preaching water and taking a lot of wine at the expense of the unsuspecting or gullible congregation. One serious website has even gone ahead to put up a list of fake pastors in Kenya
Here are signs of a fake pastor
1. They promise miracles
They are quick to demonstrate their good deeds
They are quick to announce their miracles and let the rest of the world to know.
2. They sale you anointing oil
Nothing says fake pastor than this. If you are a true believer you will notice that God doesn’t use objects to transform your life, rather He uses your mind . In one of the books of the bible he clearly states *be terraformed by the renewing of your mind*
Be transformed by the renewing of your mind,” from Romans 12:2, is a biblical call to stop conforming to worldly patterns and instead undergo a fundamental change by thinking like God, not the world, through His Word, allowing you to discern His good, acceptable, and perfect will. This transformative process involves actively replacing negative or worldly thoughts with truth from the Bible, leading to a new way of seeing the world and living out your faith.
3 They only pray to you when you tithe
Money , they say is the root of all evil. With this is mind be weary of the men in cloth who only amplify their prayers when you give.
4 They preach more about material prosperity: money, wealth and worldly success.
Our God is a God of abundance. True believers will automatically receive material things they need to lead good lives without special prayers. Is written seek ye first the Kingdom of God and the rest shall be added to you, Mathew 6:33. In simple prioritise God and the rest of the things you need will fall in position. It doesn’t you forget to focus on doing the right thing. The world works with clear rules, input begets output,simply.
5. They do not condemn sin
True pastors will focus on warning you about sin and point you in the right direction.
6.They give themselves Tittles .
They want to be “worshiped”. This starts with you calling them daddy or mum
they prefer to be called prophet or man of God etc. they want to take credit for the miracles they perform
7. They have big rings on their fingers
Quite a number of the would be men of God have rings all over their fingers. This rings are not for beauty at all. If they could volunteer to tell you the truth about them you will run for your life.
8. They tell you the source of your problems is your neighbor or relative
The moment you hear a pastor put blame of your troubles on your neighbor or relative they have no idea. Usually , they have figured humans need someone to blame even when there is none at all.
