CHAPTER ONE

Religion is a camouflage many people wear to conceal evil. Some servants of God show eye service to the society and pay lip service to their religion. The present rewarding businesses in the houses of God, simply connote that only a few pastors would claim man of God if there were no tithe and offering in the Bible. Anti-Christ! Some pastors are not qualified to call God's name because they are only working for their pockets. They are like pythons that constrict their prey.

''Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, and they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness.'' (Jeremial 12: 10) No doubt we're in the last lap of life-----end time, that's why religious people; inter alios are acting out the evil scripts of Devil and forget soteriology. Blaspheme is not limited to when a man speaks irreverently about God and sacred things, it involves all the inimical acts against him.

In religion there's nothing like peccadillo, sin is sin. Nowadays, the teachings and instructions of holy books are too complex to comprehend which invariably make religion a rocket science understood only by privileged few who claim to have had special connections with God.

We have many original folks in all the professions and also have fake of everything. Fake and peccable Prophets, Sibyls, men of the cloth and Alfas with their booming businesses are not left out. The country is best spoilt and sullied by them, as they have led and continue leading many paupers and floating-middle-class astray.

''For such are false apostles, deceitful workers; transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. thus, it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.'' (2nd Corinthians 13:15)

A man-made business can fall but the temple of God cannot collapse and any man he calls to do his work and do it with sincerity would not fall no matter how devil connive to topple him because the spiritual strength of Almighty is upon him. But those who're being driven by pecuniary motive, and ostensibly call God and arrange proliferative miracles and stage-managed deliverances to attract people's attentions would fall at last.

"What most unbelievers see with their eyes closed, we believers fail to see with our eyes wide open" Many people have eyes but can't see. ''Ye shall know them by their fruits.'' (Matthew 7:16) But not every devotee has the knack to detect a palpable facade and outward appearance cannot completely show the true nature of a man as pretenders and scoundrels have surpassed the real men of God, take over the communion tables and mesmerize the chumps.

I risk sounding repetitious about this very subject just to hammer home the point. Not all the religious heads are called by Heavenly Father, some of them call God and stay put with the divine assignments even when the infallible God considers them misnomer for his work and refuses to grant their requests. As said earlier on, if peradventure Christ expunged Malachi 3, and other related verses from holy bible and orders a permanent stop to the tradition, those pastors that call God would abandon their ministry and look for something else to do. But since the words of God cannot be altered, they would stubbornly carry on with the secular affair they call religion, which yields a better means of livelihood to them. ''Then the LORD said unto me, the prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination and a thing of nought, and deceit of their heart.'' (Jeremiah 14:14).
