PUTTING ON A SHOW, WHO IS WATCHING?

Any body can put up a show, creating the right scene, pictures, props, story line, cast and narratives. Mastering the game of acting from victim to hero from happy to sad. There are those operating various scenes, those with the script and those behind the scene. The question is who is watching, are they asking questions or merely going with the flow surrounded by actors and cannot tell reality from fiction?

"As Paul said, you put up with it easily enough. And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness". [2 Cor. 11:14-15]

Deception no matter how it is portrayed is deception. In the last days expect more but help yourself by asking questions. Deception are acts to propagate, beliefs of things that are not true usually omissions, half truth or a slice of truth. It is covered up by distraction, camouflaging, or fooling others with the disguise of an appearance to create an impression

"Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils"; [1 Tim. 4:1]

"For there shall arise false Christ's, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect". [Matthew 24:24].

Search the scriptures. A personal relationship with the Holy Ghost thrives when deliberate time is assigned to search the scriptures. In desperate times, deceiving the very elect would require strategic dissimilation. Put your entire trust in the word of God not on the word of man. Man has extreme limitations. This cannot be compared with our Sovereign God who is spirit and must be worshipped in truth.

I urge you to be observant. This requires believers to watch and pray. So in your excitement, look around you. If you cannot ask questions then something is definitely wrong. Jesus asked, ‘What will it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his own soul?’ You have the answers.

Hello Pastor, its been soooo long. ive missed u so much. Every word I have read has struck a chord in my heart. I love you.

Frank

How do you know deception when all the boxes are ticked?

Lade O.

"If you cannot ask questions then something is definitely wrong. Jesus asked, ‘What will it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his own soul?’ You have the answers." It is true, we have our answers in the bible. The words of Jeremiah ring so true.. " The prophets prophesy lies, the priests rule by their own authority, and my people love it this way. But what will you do in the end?" The bible and the bible alone contains the word of God- that word is Jesus Christ. "My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. "John 10:27 The only true way to hear Jesus is to read and believe what is written in your own bible above all other.

Eddy

Sooooo very true...these end times are not so far away anymore, it is now! I love it when your article says "if you cannot ask questions then something is definitely wrong" simple put but profoundly true... :)

AmickyCarol

I am so proud of you for speaking out and reaching out to encourage and strengthen others, for not calling evil good and for not burying the truth. I pray for your protection and that God will grant you more wisdom and boldness to fulfil His mission.

A truly refreshing and inspiring write up from the heart of one who knows our Heavenly Father. I'm blessed.

Wow, Pastor this is amazing,I am loving it well done. This is so filling thank you so much

Theodora Ediale

This is very true and I pray that every Christian will wake up to this realisation

Boz

This message is for the times.The deceptions of satan are at its height of manifestation and each of us have a direct responsibility to be aware by our leading of the spirit of God.Thankyou so much Pastor Anita,Your heart shines the truth of Christs words.You are blessed

Bethany Davies

Thank you, Anita! You're posts are like a breath of fresh air! Keep 'em coming!

Thank you for sharing, I have been meditating on matthew 24:24 the eye of my understanding is enlightened. Love you loads

Barnes Swande, Nigeria

Thank you very much, Anita. I suggest you should create a Facebook page in order to reach many more audience.

Well said Pastor. Gods' word always above that of men! No matter how we try to clothe it, deception is deception

Adeola

Hmm, very inspiring. God's grace is sufficient.

Elder Ikechukwu Rowlands

..hmm interesting lots of truths though

Rebecca

I love it.

Truth that many should begin to realise at this period and season in our world...

Adeola Onipede

Dearest Pastor Anita, Thank you so much for your website. It is a breath of fresh air and an answered prayer. Thank you for the truths you are sharing via this medium. It is a God given inspiration and It is a confidence boost for so many of us. I pray that God will continually enable and strengthen you to do the work he has called you to do and to finish it in Jesus' name. Stay blessed

Blessing Edeks

Wow!!! Very inspiring.

Precious

Wow

eo ativie

Hello Pastor Anita, when we were in the UK, you were a mother, a pastor, a life coach to all of us. You have the sweetest of spirit. Thanks for this forum. God bless you

Bukola

Thank you for reminding us of this truth. In my generation truth seems to be scarce and costly

Emeka Anene

Liberating and true! Some Men of God make extreme effort to mask the truth, keeping those they shepherd from the light of God's word and dependent on them for "revation". It's time to develop a personal relationship with this Jesus we claim to believe in and confess as Lord!

John O

This really exciting.

Nancy

Wow...This is beautiful. Thank you.

Margaret David

So true Pastor, he that stands need to take heed. A lot is going on today. It is well

Raina

True as we need to be observant and prayerful

Charlene

How enlightening! Thank you so much. A personal relationship with the Holy Spirit is essential in these last days because of all this deception

peace

Indeed, do not fool others by being deceptive. You are only fooling your self be real and trust God always

Felix

Thank you and God bless you

Deji

Pastor, this is so timely. I have been so inspired by your blog. Our focus is to turn our attention to God and not put our trust in God. I was a member of CE for many years so I can relate to what you are saying. People can easily take advantage of others using the word and we see that today, but thank God, being born again is a personal relationship with Christ, not with any man of God. We look into Jesus the author and finisher of our faith, not unto man. Thank you pastor we live you dy

Deji

Frank the best way to know deception is to know the word for yourself. The Spirit if God cannot contradict itself. When you are in a church and things are not right, go on your knees and ask for directions. Remember the bible says in the last days there will be men that come in his name, but deny all form of godliness. I will give you an example. The bible clearly states that a teacher of the word that cannot lead or take care of him home had no business leading a church. If you have one like that then one box is unticked, and the next step is to check with the Spirit of God within you. We have to come off the sge where people follow others blindly. Get to the word yourself and he will guide you.

Steffi

Thank you Pastor for such timely write up. God bless and strengthen you as you continue to stand for what is right and true.

These are the last days where the love of many will wax cold. It's very easy for Christians to be programmed into fools by swapping their thinking faculties with someone else's ideology! The word of God is truth and it's the only ingredient that makes us wise. Don't be railroaded by all the glamour, lift the bonnet and see God for yourself - thank you Pastor

Al Akhigbe

Thank you, Pastor Anita for this forum of blessing.In spite of all the devil threw at you, your faith remains unwavering and the passion to impact lives remains intact. The very thought of your person and what you stand for is a blessing to millions around the world. Thank you for this blog.

Truth Be Told

Great site. Going throught it. Its good to always ask questions. Is this site a christian site or motivational site ? PA what does your children think about the site ?.

Kunle

This was long in coming. The world waits for your manifestation. Hurry, lives and destiny waits your gifts. All that happened to you was class in session and now you have graduated with sterling qualities. Anyone whose experiences in life either good or bad that can not benefit other lives has definitely lived in vain. Your life is worth much more than you think. Its time to rock the world. Go for it PA.

Ehi

Thank you so much Pastor Anita for this great blog. This is the time of truth because many not given to intimacy with Jesus, will be led astray by what some "smart" others have coated and presented to them as truth. I see your blog as a blog of truth. You have always been a woman of truth. Thank you for not breaking into the hurt, pain and disappointment but allowing God to turn it into something beautiful that He can use to heal and enlighten many. I love you

chris

We have been longing, waiting anxiously for a voice of direction. We thank God for your boldness. You are an inspiration and answer to a hurting so deep inside that words can't explain. It doesn't matter how long a lie has been in office, its still false. The veil on our eyes has fallen. Pastor Ma, the world is waiting for you . thank you for refusing canality and earthly gains and follow Christ in spirit and truth. God will protect you for us as you embark on this long journey.

Donald

Wow! What can I say? You have hit the nail right on the head!

Nkem ndiche-onyejizu

how apt p.anita. putting up a show. concern about man and what man will say instead of the fear of God who can destroy the body and the soul. Eye service and loyalty to man instead of loyalty to GOD. Its sad that many adults are guilty of this: two mouthing,neither hot not cold and only serving their belly instead of standing for what is true and right. Say NO!!Act RIGHT!!!

itohan

thank you and God bless.just got this blog thru lailas blog.I love this.

Donald

Pastor, I feel more people need to hear this! Especially in a society where the love of many have waxed cold. You can start a Charity to help more people ...

Having a personal relationship with the Lord and the Fear of God born out of Love for Him not taking the grace of God for granted makes for a life full of His presence and Glory

Tendi

Dear Pastor. May God bless you. Thank you so much for being a voice. May the Lord encourage you and use you more. The words you write i relate and am so grateful to God that he chose you and most of all you heard him and followed. Im crying as i write because He has used you to help me heal. God bless you. God bless you soo much....

Lara

Bless you Pastor. I am encouraged.

Dami

I have been blessed by your words. It is so refreshing to know and read your post. It is very easy to be deceived and to allow others think for us as it is easy. People who ask questions are tagged as stubborn or rebels. Change has been born and for this I am eternally grateful.

Deji

I mentioned to say our focus is to turn our attention to God and not put our trust in man

Lade O.

Deji, Great reply! These are very obvious pointers to deception but God's people are decieved because the lack personal knowlege and revelation of the scriptures. S the devil comes in sheep's clothing with promises of wealth, power and fame and blinds them to the immorality and darkness surrounding the fame.

Emy

Lord help us.

Nolwazi

Wow ...I have prayed for months for you. You are trully an amazing, and 'annointed' and blessed Woman of God. You are a lady. When people expected you to react, as things were said about you publictly, for all of us to hear and judge, as some were rejoicing, many were crying for you, you kept your cool, and allowed God to take over. For years, I cried for you, asking God to give you more grace. I always knew, no married woman can tolerate raising her kids all by herself, and live like they are single again, while married. God's hand is mighty upon you, even as you embark on this new journey of life. I love you and i continue to pray for you.

Ernest chinoso ogbonnay

you just save a life right now, I read about the joyful way, , putting on a show who is watching, there is always something to be thankful for, wow I wish I can be seeing this everyday thank you

Godbless you for this

Beautiful blog. I love Your blog ma'am, love What you're doing here. May God continue to strengthen you and bless you. Your comment will be visible after approval

Nitty-gritty

I came through SDK blog, and I enjoyed reading this post. Thank you for sharing ma'am. '......In the last days expect more but help yourself by asking questions' ... '. If you cannot ask questions then something is definitely wrong' .... These are the words that captured me most. IF only .... if only, Christians ask questions and not take everything verbatim and at face value, I believe there will be more understanding of the words of GOD. I will surely be visiting often :D

Onyinye

I loved you (and still do ) because you always talk about walking in love. May we continue to grow in our love walk.

This is so amazing, thank u pastor for not allowing d devil takeout your light, Have being praying for you and its evident you are coming back stronger, greater and powerful. Thank u ma, awaiting your app on android, iOS,it ll also be great if w can have some videos. God bless u.

E.E

I hope i will be able to deliver exactly what i'm trying to express here by the time i'm through. Silence, is said to be golden, no doubt but in certain circumstances. My honest view is, as my bible rightly tells me, there are times and seasons and thus, a time for everything under the sun. There are times to be silent and i believe a time to "address" issues. I used the word, address here because some of us are under the erroneous impression that when we are not silent about certain issues, we quarrel, shout, get physical over it. No! It has become rather heartbreaking to observe that a lot of us no longer watch out for each other genuinely by telling the truth to one another. As i write, i see things crumbling all around us and for those directly involved, it's business as usual. Everyone is pretending and acting as though they do not see, notice and observe. Hiding under the guise of "silence" which is actually fear (under these circumstances) of being termed a rebel or losing what we think they are enjoying. I will bring it closer home, you have an organisation, where activities are structured but a lot of things are handled wrongly, funds are misappropriated, a lot of lies are peddled, figures are falsified, a lot of eye service going on, misrepresentations are made, .... Is it really right, for those in the know to be silent and watch the organisation fall apart bit by bit, slowly but without a doubt, surely? I watch silently too as it all crumbles, i watch the hypocrisy play out, i watch as people are so afraid to air their honest views but rather choose to gather in clusters to discuss them, while those who can't bear the above, leave. I watch as fear of man seems to supersede the fear of God. I do not write as a judge as i am in no way qualified to write or act as one in these matters but strongly believe what is right to be right and standing for, "the truth can never be sold". Silence, in the face of the truth can be very destructive in the long run.

Hello Pastor Anita. I love your blog. Stella Dimoki Korkus' voltron. Lol! She sent us a link

OHAERI KINGSLEY CHISOM

We are now living in the world of theater, rightly stated. We should believe anything something things if not all. For appearance is very deceptive.

How can I reach u personally to share something eating me up about my marriage

The anointing of the Holy Spirit is upon you and that is undeniable. I have prayed for this to come and this to me is a prayer answered. Shine on Woman Of God. The joy of the Lord is your Strength.

Inspiring,ur points are so clear pastor.Thanx for the courage and wisdom to come up with this.May the supreme power of the universe continue to protect,preserve,bless and enlighten you as you continue on this great part of enlightening humankind with d wisdom of God in you.

Primate

Pastor, I think your words have deeper meanings than you are saying. I think I understand that which you have said but not said (or refused to say). It takes an advanced mind with a clear thinking to read between the lines of your words. Message received! I shall still be watching for further revelations.

Really inspiring. Keep up the good work ma!

Christsemmbassey

Thanks a lot pastor. There is a pastor in Calabar where I live, this pastor asked a brother to give fake testimony so that members of the congregation will believe and do what so ever he says and want them to do. As far as deception in the church is concern, it is fellow believers who made themselves willing tools for this evil to continue. As a junior pastor in my former church, my GO's wife once told me that in ministry, you must support what the GO does -GOOD OR BAD. I agree with you, that we should listen to God rather than men and this is only possible if we study the bible and let God's Spirit speak to us. God bless. .

Diego Shalong

Pastor Mrs Anita, I just got the privilege of reading your introductory post about yourself and I am very inspired and blessed by that write-up.. I pray our good Lord gives you more strength and wisdom to inspire others just as you have succeeded in inspiring yourself and me ofcourse.. God bless you.

God lift you higher. You are a godly woman. You are a blessing. Good to see you again.

Pastor Anita, I bless God for your life, where you were, where you are and where God is taking you. You have got a lovely heart, you preached love and demonstrated it. God will use you mightly with this blog you have put up. Our prayer all this period has been answered. Go ahead and fulfill your God chosen destiny. We love you

Wale Akilapa

I was liberated the day I started asking questions. I challenged the status quo. And was able to separate deception from reality. God's word is the reality and can never be replaced by systems.

Wow! Pastor, I am soooo proud of you. You are very courageous, glorious and strong. The Lord is with you. As you used to tell me, it is well. so good to see you again. Whatever shame you went through, God is giving you double honor!!! Irresepective of what man says, God has the final say and only his opinion counts!!! Glory to God !!!!!

Buka

We need to go back to what's most important as the body of Christ, go back to our 1st love, the Lord Jesus Christ and stop living to please man. I love a very strong point you made that any organisation being run where it is in my word's a 'Taboo' to ask questions, that organisation is suspicious. Even the disciples asked Jesus questions from time to time when they didn't understand his parables and he didn't start tagging them rebels or announcing in church that no one should deal with them. He provided answers. After such heavy investments, why won't people ask questions? This whole thing is so sad. May the love of God continually burn in our hearts.

The Blessed One

This is refreshing. Thank you ma. Been a long time coming

Ehi Oyabure

Pastor, thank you for the inspiring words on this platform. You have always taught us God's Word with TRUTH, LIGHT, LOVE and ENTERNITY in mind. We pray God continues to use you to bless and administer grace to many in the world. When you speak, your words are wise, and you give instructions with kindness. There are many virtuous and capable women in the world, but you surpass them all. We pray that God continually endows you with strength and dignity; and you laugh without fear of the future. Oh Lord, please reward her for all she has done. Let her deeds publicly declare her praise. Thanks for being a blessing to your world!

Thank you Pastor Anita, may God continue to strengthen and uphold you and may you continue continue to be a blessing to our troubled generation

OMG this is amazing 'Putting up a show, who's watching? Wow fabulous and eye opening! To many who still dwell on keeping quite while things crumble around them, I wish you would harken to the voice of God instructing you in this blog. As for our dear Pastor Anita, I wish you long life and courage to continue this great work you've started. I love you Pastor.

You are a jewel of love . How can I reach you on phone or personal email.

yewande

That was very inspiring ma, thank you for being a blessing to my life

Nana

Dear Pastor Anita,it's nice to know you are able to rise above the challenges you have been facing. One thing I realized over the years is that a lot of us around the world,were not given the opportunity to know you.It's relieving to know that you now have a platform, where you can express yourself and most importantly be YOU. We love you dearly and you have our support 100%,all the seeds you have sowed in the Kingdom over the years God has not forgotten. He is the REWARDER,God bless you .

Nomathemba

For years i have watched you, and beheld the of God that you exhibit in awe. It could only take somebody of your calibre to liberate so many of us! Whatever you decide to do, l am your number one Partner already. Thankyou for your love, for your humility, and for winning; winning for all of us in a similar situation or situations. Thankyou for challenging us. Thankyou for potraying God as who He is- LOVE. I thank you ma. Comment

Osaretin

Pastor Anita, thanks for sharing with us the glorious things God is teaching you. Indeed, we must watch ourselves and ensure that we are not just putting on a show. No half truths....hmmm.......so true. Practicing these things are indeed hallmarks of Christianity. Thank you so much. I miss you so much.

Geraldine

I totally concur....very well said!

Geraldine

God bless you ...may the good Lord continue to protect you, sustain you and uphold you with His right hand of righteousness according to His Word. Amen.

Geraldine

Pastor Anita well done, I just can not seem to thank God enough for you...I would also want to suggest if a way could be done with regard to having this site as well as your Facebook page(when it comes up) to come up tops when a search is done on you on Google or any other search engine. I say may the good Lord continue to keep and uphold you by His victorious right hand of righteousness in Jesus' Name. Amen. Shalom! Shalom!

Onwuka

Wow! Thanks for this great exposition about "Putting up a Show". God bless you more.

Nicki Chukwuanu

I agree. We are watching & have lots of questions, some of which have remained unanswered. It is well, quoting from your words Pastor Anita. God bless you.

Erowo Odhegba

It is well. God bless you.

joshua adegoke

Pastor Anita, great to hear from you after a long time. I have always seen you as epitome of humility and godly modesty. 'God who comforts us in all our affliction so that we will be able to comfort those who are in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God'. Some are called to preach to those who are in the world while some are called to liberate those who are 'in Christ' who are working in darkness. I am glad you are back on your feet to do what you were born for: to lead men to the true light.

Ifeoma Ukaejiofo

Wow. Thank you dearest Pastor Anita for this gospel truth. May the good Lord open more doors unto you, so that many can share in this truth. Love and miss you

I've always Loved you and your charisma, I've never been a member of CE but was always inspired by your demeanor, dressing, simplicity, humility and the Grace of God upon your Life... Thank you for this blog, questions, question , question I've been asking God about my life recently because of some tough and painful life decisions. And indeed there are answers from The Word and through Revelations when I earnestly seek Him. Thank you for being an inspiration. Count me in for any project you need volunteers for. God bless you.

Raphael

Good day. It is always and will always be a great pleasure heating from you . Great and precious words. You are indeed a great blessing . God bless and continue to strengthen you in life and ministry .

Anita

Thank you so much, you are strong, inspiring and blessed. Life is a gift from God and he does not want us to live a deceptive life. I have been there but i took a walk and now am glad i am seeing real life examples to overcome the everyday challenge and loving me for who God created me to be and not putting up a front. Thank you Pastor Anita God bless you.

Valentine Ugbeide

My support and love to you. God is with us

What I loved most about you was your humility and reserved way of life. I love you very much. You are a woman of great strength. It takes strength to walk in love and forgiveness in such challenging circumstances. I'm so deeply touched. I pray for you. I'll best do an email after now.

Felix

God bless you

Thank you Pastor. Never liked eye service. Doesn't end well. We speak the truth in love. Thank you so much .

"If you cannot ask questions then something is definitely wrong." Only the occult and secret societies discourage members who innocently and humbly question the actions of their leaders. This calls for deep thoughts.

Tony

Believers must cultivate a personal relationship with the Holy Spirit as we seem to be in a time when men have almost taking that place and would rather we listen to them as the representative of the Spirit. Truly we are in the last days.

Kingskid

i dont think the intention of this blog is to instigate or propagate finger pointing or trouble.. so stop saying misleading things .. this is a good blog to heal broken hearts and tell truth

zara juliet Egbuobi

Luv u ma this ur article is very inspiring!thank u so much.

Bisola Johnson

Finally, a christian and inspiring blogger! I always knew I liked you.

Kelechi O.

Hello, Pastor Anita. How do you do? I do not know what exactly transpired in your marriage. But I can empathise with your situation. And I pray that God helps you go through this phase and come out stronger and better. God bless you richly!

Farida

I bless the name of the Lord for leading me to this blog. I have sought after you on all social media platforms and got led to find you here. I've prayed for you and trusted God that you've stayed strengthened through the trials Pastor Anita. Praise God for the His strength defined in your ability to put up a a blog site that caters to women and men who need solutions in various facets of life. Questions do linger in the hearts of followers of all kinda of groups, the typical stigma to it is the label placed on such questioners "the enemy" or "traitor". I've read through your blogs and most of my questions have been answered. Keep sharing and encouraging Pastor, lives are being changed and transformed from your blogs. Thank God you have a voice and is being channeled towards fixing the wrongs in relationships et al. I love you ma'am and am so glad I can read from you, knowing without a doubt that you're in top shape by God's Spirit. God bless you more and more Pastor.

TnL

All I have to say, is wrapped up in these 3 words: "GOD BLESS YOU". Stay strong. You are loved... NO MATTER WHAT!

Michael

Timely word for a worn out generation

JYM,Nigeria

Very true saying ma,thank you pastor. I've observed that most cases of deception are buttressed by the teaching that have to do with Loyalty.I find myself asking "what is loyalty". Hmmmm..... I refuse to be a victim of falsehood,I am led of the holy Spirit. It's so true that the word of God has all the answers....I read 3John1 this morning.... most certainly that there are many who are "DIOTREPHES" (vrs9) in character still in the church today. Indeed like you said ma, we must watch and pray. Remain blessed, I love you.

JYM,Nigeria

So true....glory to God.

Genevieve

Pastor Anita, I am proud of you. It can not have been easy for you to recreate yourself like this. I know that God has just started with your life, he will help you rediscover yourself and will use you to strengthen many women locked in abusive relationships but are afraid to speak because of what people will say. I am proud of you!

Fred

Great to hear from you Pastor. What an exhortation. This is the word of God from a woman of God. Your words are so inspiring. God bless you.

Allan

Thank you ma for such inspiring words.you are a blessing to the body of Christ

belovedwan

Thanks Pastor for your words of grace and exhortation.

belovedwan

I am totally agree with you E.E!

I first met you in Benin 1999 very briefly where I schooled and served. These were your words " you are a star, weldone and God bless you"! It was not the words but the grace and the love of God shinning through - you were different and I never forgot that meeting. Pastor, you were indeed different!! Now this is not the customary praise singing we all knew to give but rather from my heart. Somehow I understand .... and I pray that God perfects all that concerns you and all His children. Love you loads.

Janice

Thank u pastor n may God continue 2 strengthen and inspire you everyday.a word for now,i am encouraged by this word.so grateful 2 God that i came in contact with this blog.God bless u real good.

Victor Stephen

Pastor thank you soooo much for this timely article. I always said and I still say "Reverend Anita is not mad" The people who have a misconception of you are mostly afraid to loose all they gained or stand to gain , disillusioned,being deceived or just do not have a basic understanding of spiritual things when you get to know some gory details. Ma you are track and I celebrate your courage as a woman and your awesome personality.

Desmond

Hello pastor. Did you ever and write the book *wisdom for women*?

Mrs.B

Its so amazing to hear from you. I missed you so much. And this blog is what I need right now. Thank you and God bless you.

Onyinye

Wonderful words from a wonderful woman of God.

Edmund

Dear Pastor, Thank you very much for this post and blog. Like you said, it is critical to have a P-E-R.S-O-N-A-L relationship with the Holy Ghost. It is a relationship that is both real and powerful. Sadly, many Christians either do not have this rapport with Him, do not want to grow in their relationship with Him or have simply chosen to be frugal with their sincerity with the Him. They thus are quick to acquiesce their God given abilities to others. God will always lead us aright, we just have to be willing to let Him. We need to be sincere with Him. Like the bible says in Gal 6:7, "Be not deceived; God is not mocked...".

Uche

Amen pastor. Thank you so much. This just inspired me so much

sally

God bless you Sarah, may His blessings never cease from your life, Amen. Very well spoken!!! Our loyalty as Christians lies with God not any human or ministry, QED! I wish there was a "like" button here.

JGolden

@kingskid, I don't see anything misleading in what was said. No one is pointing fingers or causing trouble, no names were mentioned here. Why does the wicked run when no one chaseth? As a former member of the occult I actually agree with the comment above.

Regeana

Thank you very much!

Absolutely truth, where questions can not be asked is a manipulated system. Something ain't right, we must ask questions, if not its a dictator system.

hmmmmm! deep insight coming from experience

Dear Pastor, thank you so much for this article. It supports the truth about Christianity. Simply Christianity is living the way Christ lived... and that's why God gave us the best gift ever - The Holy Spirit. Any Christian that want to make progress the God's way, must be thought and directed by the Holy Spirit not any man. As, our Pastors, Prophets, Teachers, etc speak to us; The Holy Spirit is the One that gives each an every listeners personal insight into what is being said. Please, when God grants us the opportunity to be used as a Pastor, Prophet, Teacher, etc; we should remember that we are only a vessel and that all the honor should go to The Almighty... As Christians... we should all study the Word for ourselves and develop a better relationship with The Holy Spirit. I had one experience last year, there is a project we had in Church and I've been told what to give by The Holy Spirit but my Pastor couldn't accept that because he thought what he asked me to give should is what I should give. I always go with the Spirit unless I did not expressly hear from Him.

Hello pastor, I sympathies with your situation. But sadly what you described about people not asking questions or challenging the status quo is exactly what is happening here. Everybody seems to be singing your praise. But as Christians are we permitted to divorce at all, under whatever circumstances? Do we take our issues to unbelievers to judge for us? Can other Christians use you as an example to divorce their spouses? Is it possible to reconsider your stance for divorce? Can't the two of you find a common ground for reconciliation. I read about how much you love, what is love? Have you all these years been married to a false prophet unknowingly?

This is just what we need at this injurious times. If the very elect would not be swept off their feet by all the counterfeit christ roaming the world then we must keep watch, alert, awake and observant; always gazing at the word of God. I was almost at the verge of being deceived, but thank God I kept asking myself some questions until I came to the conclusion that what I was seeing wasn't God. Several contradictions and alterations. I thank God for His mercies. Thank you so much pastor Anita for this exposee. I love you loads, and I pray that God almighty will continue to keep you in safety and perfect health condition always. Amen.

This is a true revelation from the holy spirit.Pastor Anita this is just the beginning your blog is transforming lives already. I have a women's group and they are just so inspired by this. Thank you!

Zita I beg to differ..."Deception are acts to propagate, beliefs of things that are not true usually omissions, half truth or a slice of truth. It is covered up by distraction, camouflaging, or fooling others with the disguise of an appearance to create an impression" If I may ask,what is the point of hanging on to such a marriage,at the end of the day salvation is a personal relationship between you and God and that is what takes you to heaven not whether you are married or divorced. #InChristthesolidrockiIstand#

I think she is being married to man who says one thing and does another. In fact, from her experience they departed from the marriage long ago. Pst Anita here has just being bold to let the world know this man is deceiving people about the real condition of his marriage.

Dear Zita, Read your bible very well and know on what grounds divorce can be allowed according to scripture. The people you say are singing her praises are those who know her personally and have seen the truth INCLUDING ME We have asked questions from both sides and yes we have made up our minds as the Bible has told us to test all spirits if they be from God. If in the course of marriage one finds out that the spouse has sworn affinity to the devil whilst maintaining a false front and for years he/she prays for them and the person refuses to change but would rather drag him/her into hell then he/she has a right to leave. There is NO marriage in heaven, we will all face God alone who will try our works by fire (...and many will say lord i healed in your name, caste out demons in you name... And He'll reply " get away from me ye workersof iniquity, I know you not.) Let me ask you, if you had asked Pastor Chris a question concerning this matter on yookos or any other forum do you think they'll answer you? No, nfact your account will be deleted and blocked but Pastor Anita has allowed you comment on here, that alone says a lot.

Splendid ! Thank you

From your post Zita, you seem to have drawn the conclusion yourself. Would you rather she's happy separated, divorce or whatever the case might be or satisfy the whips n caprice of so many judgemental people like you. Even the bible says if your right hand will cause you to sin cut it off. Leave her alone a d feel free to skip coming here sighs*

Danson

“Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’ ? So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.” Matthew 19:4-6 Those are Words of Jesus Christ. God has not given me that right to separate even my own marriage. We can all tell Pastor what makes her happy but we cannot change God's Word, will or purpose. However we can make deliberate choice to walk away from His will and of course justify based on circumstances rather than waiting on God. God holds us accountable to our words and actions because His Hand is now short to redeem us from situations. Thausands of Christian marriages are headed this way because of one person's decision to justify divorce.

God bless you Pastor Antia.You are an inspiration to your world.This is just the begining of greater things and glory to come .

I agree with you Zita. I think with God's love (which Pastor Anita preaches), a resolution could have been found. At what point is it okay for a believer to give up on their marriage? Where does Jesus and the Holy Ghost come in? I believe Jesus was asked the same question (about divorce), what was His reply? It's important that as Christians we follow the Word and not our feelings or the World's views of what is acceptable. I appreciate the fact that the author must have gone through a whole lot others don't know of, but isn't that where the fight of faith comes in? Not judging please, i just feel grounds for reconciliation shouldn't be completely ignored/overlooked considering the fact that both parties are leaders in the body of Christ. Who then do the flock have to look up to??

John

Zita, I pray one day you will understand what happened here. Christians are used to just accepting anything and this is what is causing major issues amongst churches. If unbelievers can be held accountable, how much more believers???. Have you asked about what really happened. Do you even think PC cares?. A man that can leave his wife on her own for years on end. Everybody faces one direction, but have you ever though of writing to PC to also go back to his wife?. May God help you and I pray you do not have to go through this type of thing.

When you questioned the deceiving spirit you will be labelled as a rebellion. We thank God for revealing all this deception that our brethren are going through.

Fegor

thats what goes on in the world today, everything is a show. The truth seems to be what we choose to believe.

Sampson

Good evening.Great word.You sound like I am already a member of your congregation.I pray God calls you to start feeding His flocks that want to hear the word of God filtered with the spirit of truth not self interest.

Mary u

Thank you, I had the same experience too. I gave a seed but the Pastor said they keep record of those that gives cheque so for the fact that my seed wasn't as fat as he expected, when I needed prayer support for my relation, it was denied.

Grace Howe

Bless you Anita for sharing your word. Jesus warns us to let no man deceive you.

Until you wear same shoe of the abused,you can never comprehend the length,depth and breadth of what he/she passed through. She can never tell it all because its too long but if you watch closely, from the actions on both ends you can tell the true story. If u love the truth & God,you can sacrifice anything. Only God knows what transpired and will help solve the situation.Her revelations & boldness have helped save me from a life of perpetual agony with someone(whom to people on the outside,he was calm,a preacher and a good man but when i got in, i discovered the unimaginable and was brutally terrorized&abused) The best life to live is in the word. Currently, im searching for a living church with men of God like apostle Paul,Timothy whose hearts were clearly out for the gospel and "NEVER" took advantage of Gods people ; men whose accountability were evident to all& was even boasted about. Shalom

Ouch ! Painful truth . Issue is , most Christians don’t study scripture they rely on others to do it for them hence the gullibility to what they are fed . In fact when you ask questions, it won’t be long before you are labeled a trouble maker and yet the Bareans scrutinized all that Paul taught them .
