Senior Pastor of The Second Coming of Christ Ministry, Adewale Giwa, has issued a stern warning to fake pastors, stating that they will suffer before dying due to their deceitful practices. Addressing his congregation in Akure, Ondo State, on Sunday, Pastor Giwa emphasized that God will judge those who propagate falsehoods in His name.
"Can we say all pastors are not of God? When you say this one is fake, that one is fake; who is now being called by God?" Giwa questioned. He condemned the trend of labeling prominent pastors as fake, attributing it to the devil's deception aimed at weakening Christians.
According to Dailypost, Pastor Giwa also criticized the use of social media to castigate true men of God, warning that such actions are tools of the devil. He advised Christians not to allow themselves to be used by the devil to attack the church.
Furthermore, he cautioned against overreliance on social media, stating that it cannot provide lasting joy or consolation. "Social media is not a consoler. Only the word of God can console you," he asserted.
Highlighting James 4:4, which states that "a friend of the world is an enemy of God," Pastor Giwa urged Christians to remain steadfast in their faith and not be swayed by worldly distractions. He emphasized that while there are indeed fake pastors, it is not for individuals to judge them; their actions will judge them before they die.
Pastor Giwa's remarks come amid growing concerns over the activities of fraudulent religious leaders in Nigeria. He has previously called on the government to arrest and prosecute pastors involved in performing fake miracles and exploiting congregants for financial gain.
