It is a shame that even some catholic priests like father Atsu Delasi would do ANYTHING just for money and material things. It is about time they learn from good and true men of God .

If the main aim of being a christian is to be rich then it is better to be a Muslim since God's promise to descendants of Ishmael is to make them rich. Descendants of Isaac were rather promised power and grace. Prosperity is just a package that follows believers who are righteous. God did not ask Christians to chase prosperity.

All these so called Churches are thriving, because of the mental laziness of the people.
We see these Pastors,like our politicians who enter these church businesses,and become rich overnight.Because of the gullibility of the people.
I can say,we have more would be Pastors in Ghana than Teachers,because everybody thinks it is easier to go the church way than to work hard to earn your living.
Now we see Pastors who even own Planes,whiles they keep on telling their congregations that,it is better to be poor,to enable you enter the kingdom of Heaven.
And as soon as they tell their congregation how,their old mothers or grandmothers are possed with witchcraft,then the deal is done,they will suck them to their bones.And set confusion in their families.
Instead of people using their God giving brains to better their lives,they surrender their ability to think to these so called men of God.

Recent advances in evolution have uprooted the foundation of all religion, the creation story in Genesis. These charlatan priests know this truth so they rip off their poor, ignorant followers of their hard earned money.

Those fear and panic laden prophecies are not from the God (Allah) in Heaven. They are figments of imaginations from servants of Lucifer. How can the God who created us to worship Him will want to destroy us for no reason? Ask those servants of Lucifer what we have done wrong to the Almighty for Him to want to punish us like this. why? Also what kind of God is that, that will never reveal anything good to His servants but only bad things?

I could not agree more with the observation of this pastor.Almost all the charismatic churches are businesses with pastors living the high life with collection from the hardworking congregation.

well said..we need to be vigilant and differentiate right from wrong. I would encourage the new government to review all the religious activities in the country. Churches are supposed to be non-profit organization and that is the reason of their tax exemption. Their status should be rebuke the moment they becomes a profit entity.

It's so sad that the majority of population are deceived with these false teachings leading everyone to astray. Jesus Christ said you will know them by their deeds.

The four 4 main characteristics of groups in Ghana who are lawless and corrupt are
1. Politicians: We always retire broke and our only dependency is monthly retirement. But become a politician for only 6 months and you're rich for life.
2. Pastors: People follow them and believe their rants and they end up shaking every pesewa out of their pockets. They ride and live like monarchs.
3 Chiefs: They make people feel low and abused. Stealing, ripping, selling and claiming everything for themselves all at expense and mercy of their own people.
I believe you know the 4th answer.
Police: Ghana police dont arrest criminals and you can tell why. They extort and rob the people. Am not surprised we use them to scare kids. If government has a good mechanism in place to control all the monies that end up with the police, the government would not go out for loans.

This what I have observed in my church these days. The church of Pentecost was one of the church that used to preached about salvation. But now, the new pastors and the current leaders are fighting for positions and money. The only thing they preach about these days are tithes and offerings. Those who bring gifts to the mission house are their best friends in the church. Be their best friend and you will get position in the church right away. No more truth in the church anymore. Look at the church members behavior these days. Their lifestyle, the way they dress to church these days. The members have to be careful. The only thing the current leaders care about is your tithes and offerings but your salvation is in your own hands. They feel like telling the truth will drive the members away from the church. But , we should not forget, the Holly bible says, many are called but few are chosen. Which means, the chosen one's will stay if you tell them the truth. And then, we will have a good church.

well said Pastor, but its about 99.9% of the churches that are money making entities(Jesus Enterprises), they confess Christ with their mouths yet their hearts are 2000 miles away from him.
