HOW CAN FAKE PROPHET ODURO CONTINUE TO PREACH NANA ADDO IN HIS CHURCH INSTEAD OF CHRIST. IS NANA ADDO’S NAME IN THE BIBLE????? THE BIBLE SAYS WE MUST GIVE RESPECT TO EARTHLY AUTHORITIES!!! THESE CHARLATANS ARE A DISGRACE TO CHRISTIANITY!! FOLKS PLEASE READ YOUR BIBLES!! READ YOUR BIBLES!!!!!
Romans 13:1-14:12く
New Living Translation
Respect for Authority
13 Everyone must submit to governing authorities. For all authority comes from God, and those in positions of authority have been placed there by God. 2 So anyone who rebels against authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and they will be punished. 3 For the authorities do not strike fear in people who are doing right, but in those who are doing wrong. Would you like to live without fear of the authorities? Do what is right, and they will honor you. 4 The authorities are God's servants, sent for your good. But if you are doing wrong, of course you should be afraid, for they have the power to punish you. They are God's servants, sent for the very purpose of punishing those who do what is wrong. 5 So you must submit to them, not only to avoid punishment, but also to keep a clear conscience.
6 Pay your taxes, too, for these same reasons. For government workers need to be paid. They are serving God in what they do. 7 Give to everyone what you owe them:
Pay your taxes and government fees to those who collect them, and give respect and honor to those who are in authority.

I believe you are one of the TESCON guys who have been paid to do these dirty jobs on social to please the party top hierarchy. Some of us have been there before, so we are to identify such personalities.
Honour God rather than your paymasters and respect all persons in authority like you have suggested, whether they belong to your political party or not.

I think he was even being quite conservative about the totality of the issue. Personally, I think the entire structure of Christianity is at risk. We see disgruntled individuals all over social media accusing the church and calling for a return to the roots of Africanism. Very sad but this is the result of neo-prophetic bishops, their acts, and their style of living. We see Con-Manship not Christianity today. Remember, prayers in secret consultation rooms are no plain issues on the internet. There are no church secrets anymore. The internet has closed the gap between prophecy and reality. I see a REAWAKENING of Traditional African Religion as Christianity gradually collapses. This is because humanity, somehow, will always look for a SUPREME BEING for explanations and solutions to issues that the mundane mind and physical presence seemingly cannot comprehend and unable to explain nor solve.

In some churches people, without any theological, liturgical,spritual, and catechetical training just just decide what title to attach to his or her name. And people believe and worship in such churches!!!

Where did this Catholic doctrine that you have to be celibate in order to be a leader (priest) come from, when the foremost of Jesus's 12 apostles, Peter, is clearly stated in the Bible, was married. That celibate requirement for priests is a demonic doctrine. That is why the Catholic church has ever since that requirement, grappled with sexual defilement of boys and homosexual nonsense among its priests.

These days, we no longer see the Pentecostal and charismatic movements flourishing in the country as we once did. This is because there are far too many individual pastors engaging in activities that are not divinely inspired. Nowadays, anyone can rise up, don clerical attire, and declare themselves a pastor. The fervent fasting and praying that once characterised Pentecostal practices have now been diluted, giving way to carnality within the church.

Many pastors in these end times are not truly called by God and lack a divine mandate for ministry. In some cases, individuals who are unemployed and seeking a source of income have turned to the church as an easy way to make money, rather than dedicating themselves to preaching the true Word of God. Even the Pentecostal and charismatic churches have suffered significant decline.

The rise of mega-churches has contributed to the downfall of the Pentecostal movement. There are far too many false preachers infiltrating the church and tarnishing the authenticity of the true Pentecostal message. Moreover, some pastors have joined organisations like Freemasonry while pretending to serve God.

Even gospel music today has become overly worldly, lacking the anointing it once had. It is truly disheartening to see how the church has strayed from its original course.

I don't believe they'll collapse but I believe the devil will continue to use the founders and leaders of these charismatic churches to deceive the world.

These churches have become the habitation of the devil and all kinds of demons. Most of the leaders are ocults.

Among these last day churches are false prophets and teachers. May God open the eyes of Otabil to see the truth and set him free. He is not a free man.
