"My people perish because of lack of knowledge" This is what comes into mind when I read your well written article Stephen. I only wish you had the courage to name names and put them to shame. Ghanaians are looking for a "Quick Fix" to their problems and accept any forms of temporal relief to their sufferings. But one of the fruits of the sprit is LONG-SUFFERING another TEMPERANCE. I bleed in my heart when I see how gullible and blinded our people are. Wake up , oh people of Ghana, Wake up and stop following these so called men of God.

If you have a problem and are delivered and you see your life turn around, you will understand what am talking about. I was worse than you until I witness a miracle personally. It is not everyone that is fake. at least he does not ask for by force tithing. give at will. one of the reason why I like him.

Most of them are inspired by money other than the word of God. We are lazy thinkers and such always looking for quick fixes.
The irony of the this abuse of gullible Christians especially women is what you summed up here " Many of these prophets are millionaires who possess fleet of cars, own radio and TV stations and educational facilities. Yet these same pastors will tell the congregation not to gather massive wealth on this earth, and they will quote the Bible that naked we came and naked shall we go"
The Pastors are living large right here on earth of the benevolence of the poor, building economic empires for their families yet telling the church members not to worry about life here on earth.
What an irony? And as usual emotional and lazy thinking women are always almost the victims. Some even get sexually abused on top of loosing their money.

Christians can never serve the lord without knowing anything about His Word which is life.

Many of these pastors are also educating their children in overseas. God is not putting any preconditions nor has he appointed any person to come between him and men apart from Jesus. Jesus did not put any preconditions, he said "Come to me yea that are heavy ladden and I would give you rest" But these very strategies designed and crafted by modern pastors to drain their flock of all their money is unbliblical, no matter how it is polished. It ha snever been a recommendation anywhere in the bible for such schemes to be used to fleech the flock, but senior pastors are well pleased with those pators whose "returns" grow fatter and fatter. The judgement would definitely start from the church, and from the pulpit, before the congregation. Do these pastors believe in the Bible at all? More than 60% of the time is used for collections, thanksoffering, and tithing,only 20% for preachingbthe word of God. How come?

A number of the charasmatic churches have accountability systems in place. They also have boards that approve how money should be spent. It is mostly the magicians who overly demand money from their members without any accountability. Money is the motivation for the sale of their souls to the devil.
Christianity needs a regulatory body, something the christian council of Ghana has never seen necessary to discuss and do. There should be a law to band churches from selling the items they sell at those high prices they sell them and I believe gov't would be willing to do that if the so council should make that suggestion to gov't. Gov't can also tax these money making churches whose founders are getting supper rich by the day.

The bible says GOD is the judge so we shd not judge people.The bible says who r u to judge another man's servant.U hv judged david oyedepo.Dont u hv problems? why do u create problems for urself.
Jesus said if u r not born-again u will not see the kingdom of God(jn3:3).God's will is for all men to be saved so anybody who supports the gospel will be blessed.The bible makes it clear that what u sow u reap so whether ur pastor chops the money or not God keeps record of what u give nd will not deny u ur harvest.I was in this old church till i was 20 yrs old nd one day my mum who was in a charismatic church showed me jn3:3. I was shocked cos i wasnt taught at my church.Later i went to a charismatic church nd for over 25 yrs i have been taught new things in the bible.The offerings nd tithes r used to run the church nd pay the pastors(1cor9:14).If a pastor works hard he will have many members nd they will bless him.Let me shock u:jesus had people giving to he nd his disciples(luke8:1-3),Paul had the pholipian church giving to him(phil4:16,17),saul nd his servant went to see prophet samuel to solve their problem nd they gave him money nd they had more than what they wanted(1sam9),Abraham fed 3 men who were angels nd they told him next yr by now u will hv a son(gen18),Abraham sacrificed isaac in his heart nd God blessed him(gen22),the macedonian church pleaded with paul to take their gift even though they were poor cos jesus said it is more blessed to give than to receive,Elijah told the widow of zarephath who was preparing her last meal that she shd give him first nd she will not be broke nd it happened exactly as he said it.There are many more examples nd there is a principle-it is more blessed to give than to receive cos when u give it will be given back to u good measure,pressed down,shaken together nd running over(luke6:38).In all the examples people gave to God's servant nd they were blessed.God has given us time,talent nd material resources if u use it to support his church u will be blessed.Why didnt jesu s tell the widow's mite woman that it is her last so she shd go nd spend it?Jesus knew it is a seed if she eats it she will be broke but if she sows she will reap a harvest.
There are many men of God who r toiling for the kingdom nd the few who r fake r soiling the whole profession.They fast nd ,pray nd preach nd counsel people.I hear meth nd presby churches have sheds on anwhia mts nd many pastors go nd spend time praying nd fasting.I went to see a prophet yrs back nd i was no 101 nd there were abt 40 people behind me nd this man counselled nd prayed for us the whole day(sat) nd continued with sun service the next day nd weekday services.Dont they deserve to also enjoy.I have 2 prophet friends i visit occassionally for prayers nd every time i take a gift to them.Abraham gave tithe to melchisedec,the priest of God nd he blessed Abraham.The priest receives the tithe nd offering on God's behalf nd God records it in heaven(heb7:9).
David Oyedepo-i listen to him almost every day (88.7fm at 10:30a.m nd 94.3fm at 8:30pm).his ministry has blessed people worldwide.He works abt 12hrs a day with a lot of fasting.one time he fasted for a yr(probably breaking in the evening) for his church.They call him a walking bible cos he has studied so hard.If the members r told to give it is for building nd running the church for souls to be saved.they have built a 50000 seater church nd they r growing all the time.If the members r not getting anything from the church why is the no increasing.

The Shea pastor seems interesting. He is using a viable natural remedy as part of his healing work, and doesn't charge for it. Oils have been part of healing, as well as faith healing for all of time. Shea is an African oil with high healing properties, so it would be good to educate congregation members to its healing properties. Ultimately, though, Jesus is the healing, and healing miracles come by grace through faith.

an very learned atheist, after the second world war was given the platform to reason with a 'religious' German town about the irrelevance of religion.
For close to 2 hrs he articulated his position with intelligent words of wisdom to bring home his point as to religion being out moded and that God didn't exist. such great rhetoric clearly had even the Christians among the crowd running for cover. "anyone to challenge the professor?" the spokesman asked but no one had the guts to have a go. the mummuring then was "there is no God, yes, let's get merry!" as none was coming forward to rebutt that great insight/s, the spokesman was about to ring the bell to close the meeting to end every argument about religion, when an old lady shouted to be allowed for rebuttal. the old lady began...." When I lost my husband in the war, I was not only widowed but I had 5 children to feed. With no money and resources, I prayed to God that He would be my Husband to feed us and see the children through education. After my prayer, gifts came from the neighbours and even strangers I hadn't met and known. As I speak, 3 of my children have graduated from the University and 2 are about to enter. Now Herr Professor, tell me, what has your atheism done for you, I just told you what GOD's done for me?" Wow! the atheist had no answer, but said, "you see she's an old lady

Christians are like the Old lady. They have faith to receive peace of mind. They have joy to cleanse thoughts of misery. They have the belief to be expectant of good times ahead, and trust me, you cannot purchase these anywhere. Also, no one is coerced to give. By the way, if anyone feels reluctant to join any of those churches, why get bothered? Don't forget, the nation of Ghana is secular politically and governance, so therefore, none should point a finger at the so called gullible and fickle minded Christians, whom the world owes about 90% of its inventions and discoveries. scientists like Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton and great novelists and Painters are all inspired by the God in whom we believe and trust.

Is it not person who wrote those claims? Is it God who reveal to you these lies? Tb is a human being who has enemies like you and I. Out of envy and becos some people were eelled from his congregation they went about trying ...

Islam has its problems too and lots of them. But you cannot see Imams deceiving their congregation and becoming millionaires. It is only Christians who use Jesus Christ to make money.
Why are there no millionaire Imams in ...

This article is indeed well written and full of wisdom.
Since even the 'educated among them don't study the Bible, there will be more David Oyedepo.
The late Pres. Mills and other politicians attend this TB Joshua's church.
You can easily point out a fake man of God from how ...

Sorry, the heading shd. read :"THEY ARE TRICKSTERS".
Thanks.
If Jesus comes back today, the pastors can no longer use His name to make money. People will flock to the real thing and leave these rich pastors in the cold. If Jesus Himself is here, nobody can take on the name Prophet anym ...

Lol, that's so true.
Yes ooo, when Jesus comes today today, these pastors will be unemployed!!!
Even the Pope too will be out of a job.
Ha ha haaa...
Many of these pastors are also educating their children in overseas. God is not putting any preconditions nor has he appointed any person to come between him and men apart from Jesus. Jesus did not put any preconditions, he s ...

THIS EXPLOITATION SPREE IS NOT THE FAULT OF THE PASTORS, BUT THAT OF THE CONGREGATION. EVERYONE ESPECIALLY WE WOMEN MUST SHINE OUR EYES.

No genuine man of God will ask for money in order to help you with anything.
The gift of the Holy Spirit is indeed free as the writer stated.
And Matthew 7, 22-23 states clearly:
Many will say to me in that day, Lord ...

I was once invited by a friend to his church . The pastor was active in pronouncing the amounts with vigour as if the showers of blessing is falling to cave in the church.
I laughed and was like , what!! Is this a pastor t ...

A number of the charasmatic churches have accountability systems in place. They also have boards that approve how money should be spent. It is mostly the magicians who overly demand money from their members without any accoun ...

In all the examples you gave where people gave to God's servants - did those God's servants become millionaires of the times?
David Oyedepo can fast as long as he wants to. There is one thing that is certain: he has become ...

Joe, I don't believe that God will ask you on the judgement day if you gave money for his church. God does not need your money for His church. God will never praise you for giving your money to make another person a millionai ...

The Shea pastor seems interesting. He is using a viable natural remedy as part of his healing work, and doesn't charge for it. Oils have been part of healing, as well as faith healing for all of time. Shea is an African oil ...

See how rich pastor Oyedepo is and yet he pays no taxes because his church is not considered as a business entity. Look at this?
Na waoo!!!!
The bible instructs us to test all spirits, discern and resist these fake elements.
We should be wise and careful when choosing where to worship.
Well done Atta Owusu.
A WORD TO A WISE IS JUST ENOUGH.WE MUST ALL LEARN TO PRAY AND READ THE BIBLE OURSELVES.GOD LOVES EVERYBODY PROVIDED YOU OBEY HIS COMMANDMENTS AND DO HIS WILL, HE WILL ANSWER YOU BY ALL MEANS. WE NEED TO BE PATIENT.THIS IS A V ...

An observation very well made!
We need articles like this to express what many of us are thinking. Very well said!

Corruption in the churches in Ghana.Is really indeed that most Pastors in Ghana are no longer ashamed of corruption"it is a sign of desperation and hopelessness"in the country.
I have really enjoyed reading your article. I wish the masses of Ghanaian especially the women would open their eyes about these false pastors.
There should be a serious education on these kind of issues.
these false prophets are countless in Ghana but by their fruit we shall know them.Christians should be prayerful and have a belief that God can answer their prayers without necessarily seeking a pastor before a problem can be ...
