Masters of Deception : Are Jinja and Busoga regions poor because Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke’s Curse



44Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. John 8:44 (King James Version)


My analysis

In Kampala, Pentecostal pastors have come up with a magazine titled
THE EVANGELIST, whose major aim is to defend the men of God and their achievements. You need to remember that many scandals of Pentecostal pastors in Uganda have been exposed in the media and these include: sodomy, extortion, adultery, fornication, selling prayers etc  The evangelist is selling on the streets of Kampala at 1000 Uganda shillings . The current issue of this magazine has an article titled; ‘’ God to free Jinja –Bonnke’’. According to this article, Jinja and Busoga region have suffered from poverty, jiggers and underdevelopment because they were cursed by Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke in 1991( see, article below).

This article shows how naive Uganda Pentecostals are, they claim to be spirit filled but looks can be deceiving. I have seen Pentecostal pastors and believers  in Uganda who say that Peter is not the rock of the church , so I challenged them to open John1:42 and we discovered that their bibles clearly say Peter is the rock of the church either in the footnotes or the text its self . I was shocked to learn that even after alerting them, they continued to hold on to their counterfeit bibles. How can these people be spirit filled?? The Pentecostal church has not been built on sound doctrine; it is based on emotionalism, hype and naivety. Most time in Pentecostal churches is spent on singing and dancing instead of being grounded in the word of God. The devil must be launching at this movement.

The article below also shows how the Pentecostal movement has made an alliance with the oppressive state to deceive and control the masses. This Pentecostal movement has nothing to do with Jesus, it has everything to do with promoting American capitalism and hiding its evils. It is true Jinja used to be a developed town because many industries and big businesses were found there. However, in the 1990s  the International Monetary Fund(IMF) and  World Bank with the support of  United States of America  and Britain forced the government of Uganda to pursue neo-liberalism. According to this neoliberal philosophy, the government must move out of the economy and let it to be controlled by the market. see,

CHRISTIANS IN AFRICA: AWAKE!
America and the American Church Are Not Your Friends


http://www.antipasministries.com/html/file0000234.htm  

Accordingly, the government of Uganda under President Museveni  privatized virtually all the industries that were in Jinja and other government corporations in the country. This government initiative was riddled with too much corruption. Industries in Jinja were privatized  and the money was looted. Today, the government of Uganda is one of the most corrupt on the face of the earth. The poverty in Jinja and Busoga has nothing to do with Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke’s curse. It has every thing to do with a corrupt regime that has been kept in power by USA and Britain to impoverish and hence control the masses. Despite the lies of the IMF and World Bank about the increasing growth in Uganda, the people especially in rural Uganda are incredibly poor, hospitals lack basic drugs and services, people are infested with jiggers, the poor are being evicted from their land. Remember the first family  in Uganda is called a born again family.The so called growth in Uganda is being enjoyed by Museveni and his cronies.

Govt sued over nodding disease



PROCEED TO ARTICLE


God to free Jinja –Bonnke

Source: The Evangelist weekly glossy Magazine(Defending the men of God and their Achievements) , Vol.1 Issue 3. June 4th -10th 2012 , p.4

The last evangelical mission that the strong man of God led , was in 1991 at Jinja secondary school ground, the devil appealed for a worse action that saw the then special district administrator(SDA) OKWENYI ordering the law enforcers to enforce a law that he engineered in a few minutes, to evict the Evangelist from the town using maximum force. As Bishop Reinahrd Bonnke was on the pulpit delivering the message of the most high God,  a multitude personnel armed to the teeth engulfed the area,  climbed the pulpit and removed the evangelist from the work of God and forced him to step down on gunpoint on the orders of the said head of the district. As goes the saying, ‘’The one who beats up another’s Dog, challenges its owner’’ God swung into wrath as his servant moved down the pulpit and descended a curse over the land.  As Bonnke removed his court, He said, ‘’Jinja is cursed’’.

Indeed it was confirmed from above and horror fell on Jinja as one observer who preferred not to be named in this article , narrated how Jinja faced God’s wrath. ‘’ A town that was the second developed after Kampala, lost its glory instantly, said the observer. It spread to the whole area, the town and its surrounding areas were attacked by jiggers, to an extent that even the elderly fell victims.  The epidemic of jiggers was widespread in Busoga region raising a generation of rats which raided the region and caused the population to appeal to the central government for help. Other diseases such as trachoma were also noticed.

In this article, Bonnke is the Moses in the making, refer to the frogs that attacked the palace of king pharaoh  at the time of Moses to leave God turned to the Egyptians stupid to get time for the children of God to pass. We are not skeptical , another analyst  referred to one politician’s comment on people of Jinja’’At 45 they sober up’’many people have it in knowledge that people from Jinja are not all that sober and to this, the informer to this columnist commented that God made them like that until the whole country realizes that the Holy Spirit can not be stopped or tempered with.

Now, that the jubilee is at hand, Bonnke is coming, with HOPE FOR BUSOGA to raise again. Welcome Bishop Bonnke pray for the curse to be lifted, we the Basoga need development and the word of God. Please hold a deliverance crusade in Jinja’’ said the observer

HOPE FOR BUSOGA   

As the rainy season preceedes the dry spells , signals of hope for a harvest are underway, so is the land of Busoga as the man of God Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke from Germany revisits Uganda and is to hold a gospel crusade dubbed Uganda jubilee crusade to be staged at Sir Apollo Kaggwa road Makerere II grounds in Kampala.

The re-known and international Evangelist is famous for organizing massive crusades in Africa and around the world but this time round he plans to pray for every one regardless of religion, region with a major focus on the Northern and eastern parts of the country that have been threatened by civil conflicts, health implications and traditional religious practices.

According to reliable information, as the man of God last left the country in poor terms with the host district Jinja, he pronounced doom on the land as the Bible says,’’And whoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when you depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them.

Verily I say unto you, it shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than for that city. Jesus was giving instruction to the disciples as he was allotting them the work of taking the gospel of the kingdom of God to the nearby villages’’. Jesus cautioned them that some people may not listen to them, but whoever doesn’t listen to them, they should go out of that city and even shake off the dust off their sandals.

When God sent Moses to rescue the children of Israel from the hash treatment  of Pharaoh in Egypt. Exodus chapter 10-16; that his mandate to  take the Israelites was repeatedly rejected by the pharaoh and finally God sent heavy punishments to the Egyptians like frogs jumping allover the place, flies,  hail from the sky destroyed plants, water turned into blood, death of the first born children including pharaoh’s himself. It is written that he was latter weakened and let the people of God(Israelites) to leave the land.

It is said that since the man of God was thrown out of the crusade grounds, the land has experienced atrocities  that have astonished many people around the country, not so long since then, the Nile water level was noticed decreasing which affects electricity generation in the country, Jinja town has been seen lagging behind in development and yet it used to be the economic town of Uganda, many industries and businesses have shifted to Kampala. The special district commissioner as they were known by then left his job and later gave his life to Jesus Christ.

We believe that Bonnke’s visit is a ray of hope to Busoga land and that as they accept the gospel, the man of God is going to declare a blessing and many things will not remain the same. Many Christians we talked to in Kampala were very happy and said, it was the time for God to deliver Busoga. Bonnke believes in forgiveness as his Heavenly master(God) and forgives all and what happened to him. He is set to unleash a new Godly plan for the Nation and its people.

May God bless you all as you celebrate the silver jubilee .

Evangelist Bonnke jets in

Publish Date: Jun 06, 2012

By Francis Emorut               
American based international evangelist, Reinhard Bonnke has arrived in the country accompanied with entourage of 20 delegates.

Bonnke was received by the head of National Fellowship of Born Again Pentecostal Churches, Apostle Alex Mitala and pastors who included Daniel Nkata, Rev. John Darku, the Africa director of Christ for All Nations, evangelist Drake Kanaabo, Abed Bwanika, the president of Peoples Development Party and Bishop Joseph Nsubuga.

“I am happy to be back in Uganda,” Bonnke said as he was being welcomed by the pastors.

Bonnke who was stopped from holding a crusade in Jinja in 1990 recalled that it was a nasty experience but he has forgiven the security operatives who harassed him.

“I had unhappy incident in Jinja when soldiers came holding their guns and stopped me from holding the crusade and told me to go away,” Bonnke told journalists at Entebbe International Airport.

“As a man of God I hold no grudge against any one that was involved in stopping me from holding the crusade.”


Miracle: Reinhard Bonnke returns to Uganda


Tuesday, 05 June 2012 19:48 

Written by Malita Wamala

 Few things have brought me joy like the fact that this week I get to minister with the man of God, Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke in Kampala. As part of the mass choir that will minister at the Makerere II grounds in Bwaise, I hit two birds with one stone; the privilege to minister, but also have prime location at the crusade, given that the man of God is known to draw crowds in their millions for his crusades.

Bonnke, who came to Uganda more than 20 years ago and held a big crusade at Kololo airstrip and another botched one in Jinja, has focused his ministry on Africa and the great anointing on his life has impacted millions especially in West Africa.

During our rehearsals at Redeemed Church of the Lord Makerere, one minister told of the Jinja crusade that never was. Bonnke had arrived in the thriving town with his team and set up for a crusade, but the town’s leadership together with police turned him away, citing the loud noise from his public address system.

Now, the Bible says when you come bearing good news but are turned away, dust yourself off of that place and move on. The minister at Redeemed said that on this occasion, Bonnke did not dust himself off of anything, but he is said to have sorrowfully removed his jacket and left it in Jinja as he departed.

And anyone who knows Jinja and understands things spiritual, knows that the town has never been the same since. This jubilee crusade from June 6 to 10 is, among other things, expected to turn fortunes around.

As Uganda turns 50, the Lord wants to lift the curse off our nation and trigger a blessing sufficient for all of us. Above all, Bonnke is on a mission to win more souls for Christ. Born in Germany but based in the US, Bonnke is the founder of Christ For All Nations ministry.

He is coming with evangelist Daniel Kolenda, another amazing preacher. I don’t know how you will get there, but just be there and don’t miss this epic moment. From the composition of the mass choir (so many churches are represented), it is my hope that this crusade also unites the body of Christ in Uganda, which is currently so divided in ways that bring shame to the name of Jesus.

 The Kampala Miracle – Kampala, Uganda – Day 1


  Dear Mission Partners,
We are rejoicing tonight after the first meeting of our Gospel Campaign here in Kampala, Uganda has just come to an end. 
The very fact that we are here is a sign and a wonder in itself.  We experienced a miracle of provision a couple of days ago that has made this event possible and already we can see that this is going to be a historic event.  Here are just a few things that have happened since we arrived: 
  • Many of you may be familiar with the remarkable story of what happened in Jinja, which is located just about an hours drive from where we are now.  (If you’re not familiar with this story, you can read all about it in Chapter 30 of evangelist Bonnke’s autobiography – Living a Life of Fire).  Today, for the first time in two decades, evangelist Bonnke set foot on Jinja soil again to pray for this city that has suffered so much since those events transpired some twenty-three years ago.  Hundreds of pastors came out to meet him and the presence of God moved in a very special way.  I wish I had more time to tell you the whole story, but suffice it to say that what Satan meant for evil, God has turned around for good.  The peace of God has returned to Jinja and a new day has dawned!
  • Last night we were received by the president of Uganda, his wife and his whole family at the state house, where we had dinner and wonderful fellowship.  Afterword evangelist Bonnke preached the Gospel and we prayed over the first family.
  • Tonight evangelist Bonnke preached a powerful evangelistic message and thousands responded.  Then we prayed for the sick and wonderful miracles of healing began to take place
  • An old lady who was totally blind in both eyes received her sight tonight (see the attached picture)
  • A father carried his daughter from the hospital with the intravenous catheter (from an i.v. drip) still attached to her arm.  She was inflicted with both typhoid fever and malaria. Tonight she was totally healed and she walked, unaided, up onto the platform to testify.
  • A man who had a severe back injury in a motorcycle accident was confined to a back brace.  Tonight, after the power of God came on him, he ripped that brace off and began to dance and jump! (See the attached picture)
There is much more – too much to tell.  We are so grateful to be here and so excited about what Jesus will do here in Kampala this week. Please bombard heaven for us this week.  Pray that every chain will be broken and every captive set free.
Yours in the Gospel,
Evangelists Daniel Kolenda & Reinhard Bonnke

PERVERTING THE MESSAGE OF ‘THE KINGDOM’



PERVERTING THE MESSAGE OF ‘THE KINGDOM’


http://www.lorendavis.com/news_articles_perverting.html

Hardly anything has been twisted and perverted more than the Bible’s teachings about ‘THE KINGDOM OF GOD’ AND ‘THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN’. This is done in the name of ‘KINGDOM’ teachings. This article covers an array of teachings that come under the umbrella of ‘the Kingdom of God’, ‘the Kingdom of heaven’ and shows how it is being misused. 

We hear about: KINGDOM BUSINESS, KINGDOM FAITH, KINGDOM AUTHORITY, KINGDOM CONNECTIONS, KINGDOM RELATIONSHIPS, KINGDOM MENTALITY, KINGDOM VALUES, KINGDOM EXPANSION, KINGDOM PRINCIPLES, KINGDOM SERVICE, KINGDOM PEOPLE, KINGDOM NOW, etc. The Bible does not refer to ‘THE KINGDOM’ in this manner. 

Most of these teachings about ‘the kingdom’ originates from teachings of the Faith Movement from the concept that believers should ‘subdue the earth’. 

KINGDOM PREACHERS DEFINE ‘THE KINGDOM’ TO BE ON THE EARTH RIGHT NOW.
It’s hard not to notice that money is the main thing ‘kingdom’ preachers talk about. There is no debate that the Bible has many promises of how God desires to bless His people in this life; ie: Deuteronomy. 28, but these ‘kingdom’ preachers have gone way beyond God ‘supplying all our needs’, Philippians 4:19, and have pushed the envelope to preach that ‘God wants us all to be rich’. They preach a ‘THIS WORLD’ gospel and prey on the poor and greedy. 


One of the favorite scriptures they use is…
2 Chronicles 20:20 “believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.” KJV 


Most ‘kingdom’ preachers CALL THEMSELVES PROPHETS and many of them threaten curses if you don’t obey them, particularly in relationship to giving to them. They literally intimidate people to give to them and also promise lottery type returns that the Bible never promises. (For more information hear the Loren Davis Internet Radio: program: ‘Prosperity Preachers are Ruining Christianity’ www.combineharvesting.com; and the article: ‘The Gospel of Greed’). 

The ‘Kingdom preachers emphasize that we as believers are KINGS AND PRIESTS.
They use the scripture, Revelation 5:10 “And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.


‘Kingdom’ preachers take this scripture and teach that we should be rich and live like kings in ‘this life’. They are misapplying Rev 5:10. This scripture is referring to the saints of God ruling and reigning with Christ as kings and priests during His Millennial reign on earth, but we will be under Him because Jesus is the King of Kings. Rev 5:10 is not talking about now.

KINGDOM PREACHERS PERVERT THE SCRIPTURES THAT TALK ABOUT SALVATION TO TEACH ABOUT MONEY AND GETTING RICH.

Examples:
A. THE ABUNDANT LIFE
‘Kingdom preachers’ particularly focus on preaching about ‘the abundant life’. THE BIBLE DOES NOT SAY THAT JESUS CAME TO GIVE US ‘ABUNDANT LIFE’. IT SAYS TO GIVE US ‘LIFE….MORE ABUNDANTLY’. THE ‘ABUNDANT LIFE’ TEACHING TWISTS AND PERVERTS JOHN 10:10. THEY USE THIS SCRIPTURE to teach in essence that Jesus came that we all might be AFFLUENT AND WEALTHY.

Here is what the scriptures actually say about this…
John 10:10 “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have LIFE, and that they might have it MORE ABUNDANTLY.” KJV
JESUS NEVER SAID HE CAME TO GIVE US ‘THE ABUNDANT LIFE’. The scripture says “He came that we would have ‘LIFE’, and have it MORE ABUNDANTLY.”

 
There is more to ‘having life more abundantly’ than having a lot of money. Without health, a good marriage, family, peace, and being right with God is having ‘life…' all the money in the world is not going to give you ‘the good life’. Having ‘life more abundantly’ is being well and whole in every area of your life, particularly spiritually.
Although Jesus taught how He would help us in ‘this life’, His primary message was about spiritual and eternal things.

John 10:10 which talks about having ‘LIFE MORE ABUNDANTLY’ is just a continuation of John 10:9 which is talking about salvation. John 10:9 Jesus said, “I am the door: by me if any man enter in, HE SHALL BE SAVED,” KJV


Psalms 103:2-3 “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;” KJV

Most ‘Kingdom’ preachers seldom if ever preach about salvation; keeping God’s commandments or about heaven and where you will spend eternity. They are using the name of Jesus to stir up the spirit of greed which the Bible teaches against. These ‘kingdom’ preachers don’t preach about ‘taking up your cross and following Christ’, but stir up covetousness which the Bible teaches against, Exodus. 20:17 . The Bible warns against those who try to get rich quickly. This ‘get rich quick’ gospel makes God’s people vulnerable to con artists. The deadly thing about this is that it is done in the name of ‘faith’ and in the name of Jesus.
Lk 12:15 “Take heed and BEWARE OF COVETOUSNESS: for a man’s life consisteth not in the ABUNDANCE of things which he possesseth.”
Col 2:5 says that covetousness is idolatry. 


B. I HAVE HEARD ‘KINGDOM’ PREACHERS SPIN MATTHEW 7:14.
Matt 7:14 “Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.” KJV
Some ‘kingdom’ preachers spin this scripture to say that this scripture is not talking about salvation and going to heaven. They say what this really means is… ‘NARROW IS THE WAY’ TO THE ‘ABUNDANT LIFE’ OR RICHES and few find it. This is totally opposite of what Jesus was talking about. He was saying ‘narrow is the way’ to salvation and heaven and few find it. 


C. Perverting the Kingdom. John 3:3 says, “Except a man be born again he will not enter THE KINGDOM OF GOD”.
The way the Word of God is being spun by the ‘kingdom’ preachers, in essence, would make being ‘born again’ to is literally the gateway to enter into the ‘abundant life’ or riches. The god of many ‘kingdom’ preachers is money. You know that is true because that is what they preach about the most.
This scripture about ‘the kingdom of God’ here is talking about salvation and going to heaven. He is talking about His spiritual kingdom which He sets up in the hearts of men. 

D. THE WORKS OF THE FLESH and THE ABUNDANT LIFE
Gal 5:19-21 “Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in ime past, that they which do such things SHALL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD.” KJV

Many ‘Kingdom’ preachers say these scriptures do not mean that people who do these works of the flesh will not go to heaven, they imply that it means they will not enter into the ABUNDANT LIFE. If you will notice, the Kingdom preachers don’t preach against sin. They imply ‘eternal security’ whether they openly declare it or not.

E. THE THIEF ON THE CROSS
When the thief on the cross said to Jesus, “Remember me when you enter into your kingdom” and Jesus answered him, “This day will you be with me in Paradise”, Lk 23:43…Jesus was talking about him going to Paradise, His eternal kingdom, NOT that THIS DAY you will have the abundant life on earth. 


F. SEED FAITH
There are some good scriptures about ‘sowing and reaping’ related to giving, but most ‘kingdom’ preachers have misappropriated scriptures which talk about ‘sowing the Word of God’ and pervert them to teach ‘sowing money’.

Galations 6:7-8 is a good example of this. “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for WHATSOEVER A MAN SOWETH, THAT SHALL HE ALSO REAP.”

‘Kingdom’ preachers use this scripture teaching ‘sowing and reaping’ for taking offerings. This scripture has nothing to do with money or giving an offering. The rest of these scriptures say… “For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit REAP LIFE EVERLASTING.This scripture is talking about salvation. They never use this scripture to preach salvation. This is gross abuse of God’s Word. 


G. THE 100 FOLD RETURN
MANY ‘KINGDOM’ PREACHERS USE MARK 4:8 TO TEACH ‘THE 30 FOLD, 60 FOLD, 100 FOLD RETURN. These scriptures have nothing to do with money or an offering.
Mark 4:14 “The sower SOWETH THE WORD.” KJV
This whole parable is about preaching the WORD of God and is about SALVATION and one’s spiritual development. 


*Malachi. 3:8-12 and Deuteronomy 28:18 are some of the accurate teachings about being blessed that are connected with giving) 

THE PARABLE OF THE SOWER
Luke 8:10 ‘Unto YOU IT IS GIVEN TO KNOW THE MYSTERY OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD
V. 11 Now the parable is this: THE SEED IS THE WORD OF GOD (NOT MONEY!)
The WORD IS SOWN by the WAYSIDE; on ROCKS, on THORNS, and on GOOD GROUND:”

This parable of the ‘sower’ talking of SALVATION.

Luke 6:14 THE WORD IS CHOKED WITH CARES AND RICHES AND PLEASURES OF ‘THIS LIFE’.”
Prosperity preachers
are the ones sowing seeds of greed and their message is taking appealing to the THORNS.

MOST ‘KINGDOM’ PREACHERS PRIMARY PURPOSE FOR BEING IN THE MINISTRY IS JUST FOR THE MONEY.

*Pastors should be well cared for. Mal. 3:10 teaches we should tithe.
1 Tim 5:17-18 “Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine. For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward.” KJV 


But the Bible also says in Luke 20:46-21:1 “BEWARE OF THE SCRIBES, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts; which DEVOUR WIDOWS' HOUSES, and for a shew make long prayers: THE SAME SHALL RECEIVE GREATER DAMNATION.” KJV 

FOR MOST KINGDOM PREACHERS, THE GOSPEL IS JUST A BUSINESS TO THEM. They are masters at manipulating the Word for their own benefit. These ‘kingdom’ preachers have learned to be crafty with the Word of God and learned how to pervert and misuse the scriptures to seduce the saints to get them to give them great sums of money by promising lottery type returns. They then use this money to make themselves rich and live opulent lives like kings. What is so seducing about this is that they are doing this in the name of Jesus and are misusing the Bible to con God’s people. These ‘kingdom’ preachers are literally the modern day ‘money changers’ that Jesus drove out of the Temple while He was on earth. This practice is corrupting God’s people by seducing them to give for the purpose of getting rich quick, instead of giving to win the world to Christ and teach godly living. This has diverted funds away from winning the lost and is causing multitudes to perish without Christ. 

This has motivated many who attend these ‘kingdom’ churches to go deeply into debt in order to put up a good ‘faith face’ to show their ‘faith peers’ that they are prosperous and ‘have big faith’. This is hypocrisy and has ruined many lives! The biggest kiss of death for those who attend ‘kingdom’ churches is to be poor, that is not living the ‘abundant life’; i.e.: wearing an inexpensive suit or dress; driving an older economy car; nor eating in the most expensive restaurants or not living in an upscale neighborhood.
H. KINGDOM FAITH
 
Where in the Bible does it refer to ‘kingdom faith’. Kingdom teachers spin Mark 11:22-24 , “HAVE FAITH IN GOD…
”,They state it should or could have been translated to ‘have the Faith of God’ or ‘the God kind of faith’. (See the article and listen to Loren Davis Internet Radio program: ‘New Age Faith is Replacing Bible Faith www.combineharvesting.com) This change of phrasing replaces the object of our faith, God. 

I. KINGDOM AUTHORITY
One of the key scriptures they use to teach ‘Kingdom Authority’ is Gen 1:28
“And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and SUBDUE IT: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.” KJV 


They use this scripture also to go into their teach the ‘Abundant Life’ and that ‘man is a god’. (See the article ‘The teaching Man is a god’ www.combineharvesting.com)
Some Kingdom preachers preach that Jesus’ teachings about THE SHEEPFOLD, Jn 10:1-8, is talking about MAN’S AUTHORITY ON EARTH, which translates into man’s power and riches. They say that it is illegal for God to do anything on earth without a man who was born on earth and is alive now to gives Him permission. Therefore, since Jesus is no longer on the earth, they teach that these scriptures ‘Sheepfold’ scriptures teach that God can do nothing on earth without man’s permission. This is a complete distortion of these scriptures. Look at what the scriptures actually say… 

John 10:7-9 “Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I AM THE DOOR of the sheep. All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door: by me if any man enter in, HE SHALL BE SAVED,” KJV 

The sheepfold teaching Jesus is giving, Jesus is clearly explaining that HE IS THE ONLY WAY FOR SALVATION. JESUS IS ‘THE DOOR’. Anyone who tries to enter heaven outside of him is a thief and a robber. This scripture is talking about salvation, not man’s authority. 

WHAT DID JESUS SAY ABOUT SEEKING TO LIVE THE OPULENT LIFE?
Luke. 7:25-26 “Jesus said, What went ye out for to see? A MAN CLOTHED IN SOFT RAIMENT? Behold, THEY WHICH ARE GORGEOUSLY APPARELLED AND LIVE DELICATELY live in kings courts. What went ye out to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and MUCH MORE than a prophet.”

Some preachers have taken it so far as to be poor is a sin. If you are a Christian, you will be rich. They want you to measure their faith by their riche.

Psalms 17:14 …”From men which are thy hand, O Lord, from men of the world, which have their portion in THIS LIFE, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid treasure:” KJV
In reality they are not true ministers of God, but professional clergymen who are nothing more than white collar thieves. No wonder Jesus said in Matthew 21:13, ‘My house has become a den of thieves’.

‘KINGDOM’ PREACHERS HAVE LEARNED TO PROFITEER FROM RELIGION USING THE SAME TACTICS THAT THE PAGAN RELIGIONS USE.
Acts 19:24-25 “For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, which MADE SILVER SHRINES FOR DIANA; Whom he called together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, Sirs, ye know brought NO SMALL GAIN unto the craftsmen that BY THIS CRAFT WE HAVE OUR WEALTH.”

THE HINDUS of India have great TEMPLES TO THE GODS OF PROSPERITY where people flock to give small and great sums of money to get favor to get rich. 

THE ROMAN CHURCH takes advantage of grieving people who have lost loved ones and come to mass praying for them to get out of purgatory. They are told by the priests that the more money they give to the church, the quicker their loved ones will get out of purgatory. This is financially exploiting the grieving in the name of God. It is totally opposite everything the Bible teaches. 1 Peter 1:18-19 “Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold… But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:” KJV 

Galations 1:14 …Before the Apostle Paul was saved… “PROFITED IN THE JEWS' RELIGION,”
1 Timothy 3:2-3 … “A bishop then must be blameless…NOT GREEDY OF FILTHY LUCRE ; but patient, not a brawler…NOT COVETOUS;”


1 John 2:16 “For all that is in the world, THE LUST OF THE FLESH, AND THE LUST OF THE EYES, and THE PRIDE OF LIFE, is not of the Father, but is of the world.” KJV
The ‘Kingdom preachers are literally preaching ‘the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life’ in the name of Jesus.


Mark 10:24 “Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God!” (heaven) KJV

F. THE HARVEST When Kingdom preachers talk about ‘the harvest’ they are not talking about winning souls to Christ, but reaping a harvest of money and wealth. This has completed perverted what Christ was saying about ‘the harvest’. He was talking about HARVESTING SOULS for salvation. This has seduced so many of God’s people to just sow, give money, to get a financial harvest instead of giving to win the lost. No wonder most of the world is going to hell.

Matt 9:37-38 “Then saith he unto his disciples, THE HARVEST truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest , that he will send forth labourers into his harvest. KJV When Jesus talked about the harvest He was in no way talking about money.


Many preachers are USING THE GOSPEL TO RACKETEER by misusing the scriptures.
Luke 8:18 “For whosoever hath, to him shall be given: and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.” Some ‘Kingdom’ preachers misuse this scripture to justify them fleecing the poor to enrich themselves. They are literally stealing from the poor and gullible and doing it in Jesus name.

One of the Ten Commandments is ‘THOU SHALT NOT TAKE THE NAME OF THE LORD THY GOD IN VAIN.” Many preachers are taking God’s name in vain by fleecing His flock in Jesus’ name.

WHAT IS THE TRUE BIBLICAL GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM?

Jesus said in THE LORD’S PRAYER, Matthew 6:10 “THY KINGDOM COME . THY WILL BE DONE IN EARTH, AS IT IS IN HEAVEN.” KJV
Some Kingdom teachers teach that THE LORD’S PRAYER is not applicable today. That it is under the old covenant, the Old Testament. What blasphemy!

Jesus is ‘the King’ who came to earth to set up His kingdom in the hearts of men so mankind could be ‘born again’, and become holy and live godly lives on earth and be whole like we will be in heaven.

Matthew 4:23 “And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.”
Matthew 5:3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven:”

This is opposite of the teaching of what these ‘kingdom’ preachers preach. Most of them preach a gospel of pride and arrogance. They are aloof from people, totally opposite of how Jesus was. Matthew 11:29 Jesus said, “… learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart” KJV 

They hardly ever mention heaven, and if they do they redefine it to refer to ‘this life’, heaven on earth. Mk 1:14-15 Jesus came preaching THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM…saying REPENT AND BELIEVE THE GOSPEL” That is what the Gospel of the Kingdom is!
Mark 1:14-15 “Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the Gospel of the kingdom. “ He was not preaching that everyone would get rich. 


Nowhere in the Bible does it say that Jesus came so everyone who believed on Him should be rich in this life, but that they would not perish and have everlasting life? Jn 3:16
The Gospel of the kingdom is further spelled out in Mark 16:15-18…


Mark 16:15-18 “And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and PREACH THE GOSPEL to every creature. He that BELIEVETH AND IS BAPTIZED SHALL BE SAVED; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they CAST OUT DEVILS; THEY SHALL SPEAK WITH NEW TONGUES. They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; THEY SHALL LAY HANDS ON THE SICK, AND THEY SHALL RECOVER.”


Matt 5:10 “Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.” (See the article and hear Loren Davis Internet Radio program: ‘Redefining Righteousness’ www.lorendavis.com


Matt 24:11-14 “And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. And THIS GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” (He is not talking about the pseudo ‘kingdom’ gospel that everyone should be rich. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is to be preached some men can receive God’s gift of Eternal Life; praying for the sick and casting out devils.

Luke 12:22-24 Jesus said, “Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on. The LIFE IS MORE THAN MEAT, and the body is more than raiment. Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?”


Mark 14:25 “Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in THE KINGDOM OF GOD.” KJV Without a doubt He was talking about heaven.

Matt 19:23-24 “Verily I say unto you, That A RICH MAN SHALL HARDLY ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.” (The kingdom of God here is referring to going to heaven, NOT getting rich.) 

1 Tim 6:9-11 “But THEY THAT WILL BE RICH fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, THEY HAVE ERRED FROM THE FAITH, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. But thou, O MAN OF GOD, FLEE THESE THINGS; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.” KJV

IT IS GOD’S DESIRE TO BLESS HIS PEOPLE

Deut 8:18 “But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth , that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.”
The unfortunate thing is that from my observation, is that most of God’s people who are blessed do no use their funds to spread the Gospel. God needs to greatly bless His people to spread the Gospel around the world, but most of the time when He blesses His people they don’t keep their end of the bargain, but instead horde it or use it for their own fleshly lusts. The story of the rich man and Lazarus graphically illustrates this. Most store up their wealth for themselves instead of using it to spread the Gospel to the world. They can never get enough.
Of course it is not a sin to be rich if one attains riches honestly and most definitely a rich man can go to heaven if he trusts in God more than his riches, but riches are NOT the kingdom of God.
If riches were the criteria of being in the ‘kingdom of God’, then more Muslims would be in ‘the kingdom of God’ than Christians. 


Matt 6:19-21 “LAY NOT UP FOR YOURSELVES TREASURES UPON EARTH, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But LAY UP FOR YOURSELVES TREASURES IN HEAVEN, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” KJV
Thank God there are some who God has blessed that have kept their end of the covenant and are using their wealth to spread the Gospel, the New Covenant, to the ends of the earth.
Matt 25:21 “Thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.” KJV


Luke 12:48 “For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required:” KJV

Luke 21:34 “And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of THIS LIFE, and so that day come upon you unawares.”
THE REVISIONISTS OF ‘THE KINGDOM OF GOD’, are not looking for heaven. They don’t preach about heaven or eternal life. To them, the way their teachings play out, one’s only heaven or hell will be in ‘THIS LIFE’. This is the exact thinking of the atheists. They are planning their lives like they will live forever on earth.
1 Cor 15:19 “If IN THIS LIFE ONLY we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.” 


GOD PROMISES TO BLESS THOSE WHO SEEK GOD’S KINGDOM FIRST
Matt 6:33-34 “But seek ye first the kingdom of God (not money), and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. KJV
Prov 13:7 “There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches.” KJV


Matt 19:29 “And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold , and shall inherit everlasting life.” KJV
Matt 6:24 “Ye cannot serve God and mammon.” KJV 


PERVERTING THE BIBLE
Rom 1:25 “Who changed the truth of God into a lie,”
Jer 23:36 “…for ye have perverted the words of the living God, of the Lord of hosts our God.”
Gal 1:7 “Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would PERVERT THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST.” KJV


Matt 23:26-31 Jesus said, “Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed APPEAR BEAUTIFUL OUTWARD, but are WITHIN FULL OF DEAD MEN'S BONES, AND OF ALL UNCLEANNESS. Even so ye also OUTWARDLY APPEAR RIGHTEOUS unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous, And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets. Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.”
John 6:15 “When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone.” KJV 


John 18:36 “Jesus answered, MY KINGDOM IS NOT OF THIS WORLD:”
Col 3:2 “Set your affections on things above, NOT on things of THE EARTH.”
Lk 17:21 “The kingdom of God IS WITHIN YOU.”
Lk 18:17 “Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter in.” This is speaking of salvation.


Col 1:13 “Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son.” This is speaking of salvation.
Matt 16:26 “For what is a man profited, if he shall GAIN THE WHOLE WORLD, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?” KJV 


MOST ‘KINGDOM’ PREACHERS SELDOM PREACH TO PREPARE PEOPLE FOR ETERNITY AND HEAVEN.
Their gospel is primarily a ‘this life’ gospel, and projects a latent message that man will NEVER DIE BUT LIVE FOREVER IN ‘THIS LIFE’.
James 4:14 “For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.” KJV


John 14:1-3 “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am (in heaven), there ye may be also.” KJV 


Matt 16:26 Jesus said, “For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world , and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?” KJV

"GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME" Is this scriptural?



"GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME" Is this scriptural?



http://www.lorendavis.com/news_articles_good.html        




Where does it say in the Bible, ‘God is Good All the Time. All the Time God is Good?’ It’s not there!


Since it is not in the Bible, then why is this statement the most quoted statement in churches throughout the world? We have been taught in the past few decades that ‘EVERYTHING BAD COMES FROM THE DEVIL AND THAT EVERYTHING GOOD COMES FROM GOD’. We’ve been told that ‘IF IT’S NOT ‘GOOD NEWS, IT’S NOT GOSPEL’. We’ve also been taught the ‘UNCONDITIONAL LOVE OF GOD’ and a perverted ‘GRACE’ message which translates into ‘Eternal Security’ (See the article: ‘Eternal Security, The Huge Gamble’ www.lorendavis.com). These statements and teachings are simply not true! Nowhere in the Bible does it say that any of His promises are ‘unconditional’ nor that we are ‘Eternally Secure’ if we continue in our sins. THESE TEACHINGS HAVE REDEFINED THE NATURE OF GOD.


EVERY PROMISE OF GOD IS CONDITIONAL

SALVATION. Jn 3:16-17 IF YOU BELIEVE ON JESUS, you shall be saved. IF YOU BELIEVE NOT you shall be damned. Salvation is conditional on believing.
FINANCES. Mal 3:10 shows that God’s financial blessings are conditional on whether one tithes or not.
HEALING. Matt 13:58-14:1; Heb. 11 shows the importance of having faith and believing God.

Saying ‘GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME!’ STRONGLY INFERS THAT WE ARE NOT ACCOUNTABLE TO GOD AND THAT GOD WILL NOT JUDGE US. This along with other things I mentioned, among others, have reconfigured Christianity and are the main reasons sin, hell, and The Judgment Day are not preached today. It is also the root of why so many professing Christians are living sinful lives. THIS IS THE ‘NEW AND IMPROVED, FEEL GOOD, POLITICALLY CORRECT, BIG MONEY CHRISTIANITY’!

ROM 11:22 “BEHOLD THEREFORE THE GOODNESS AND SEVERITY OF GOD: ON THEM WHICH FELL, SEVERITY; BUT TOWARD THEE, GOODNESS, IF THOU CONTINUE IN HIS GOODNESS: OTHERWISE THOU ALSO SHALT BE CUT OFF.” KJV


BIBLICAL EXAMPLES OF THE SEVERITY OF GOD

THE 10 PLAGUES UPON THE EGYPTIANS

EX 15:26 GOD IS SPEAKING, “I WILL PUT NONE OF THESE DISEASES UPON THEE, WHICH I HAVE BROUGHT UPON THE EGYPTIANS:” KJV (This does not mean that all diseases are caused by God. We know there are ‘spirits of infirmity’ from Satan that Jesus talked about and came to destroy (Lk 13:11, Acts 10:38, Jn 10:10. Sometimes people falsely say that God is punishing someone, when He’s not. Often the person is just being attacked by the Devil or has just made mistakes that brought consequences. Isa 53:4, Jn 9:3). But God in this instance put these diseases on the Egyptians as judgment. It wasn’t the Devil).

Ex. 17:18 “I am the Lord…I will smite with the rod that is in mine hand upon waters which are in the river, and they shall be turned to blood. And the fish that is in the river shall die, and the river shall stink;” (This does not mean that all pollution comes from God. Of course we know that most pollution today is man-made; but in this particular incident, it shows that God caused it. In the Book of Revelation during the Great Tribulation, we see that God will do a similar thing again that He did in Egypt to the rivers and the seas).

Ex. 8:2 The Lord said, “I will smite all thy borders with frogs?”

8:21 “I will send swarms of flies upon thee,”

Ex. 11:4-5 “Thus saith the Lord, about midnight will I go out into the land of Egypt: and all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die:” (This of course does not mean that when someone dies that God killed them. There are natural causes of death; accidents; and premature deaths also caused by demonic attacks. But in Egypt, God Himself brought death to the Egyptians).

9:5-6 “and the Lord did that thing on the morrow, and all the cattle of Egypt died: but of the cattle of the children of Israel died not one.”

9:8-9 “…and the Lord…brought boils upon the Egyptians”

9:15 “The Lord smote them with the pestilence. (Of course not all pestilence is from the Lord. Much of it is a natural occurrence of nature, but this pestilence in Egypt was caused by God).

9:23 “…and the Lord sent thunder and hail, and the fire ran along upon the ground; and the lord rained hail upon the land of Egypt:” (Not all storms are caused by God, but this shows that He has used storms to judge at different times in the past. If He ever has used them in judgment, He can use them again today if He so chooses, because ‘He Changes Not’ Mal 3:6.).

Was this God bringing these plagues to Egypt or the Devil. What does the Bible actually say?

FEAR

Today it is TAUGHT THAT ALL FEAR IS BAD and is from the devil. (There is a ‘spirit of fear’ that is from the Devil which is bad (2 Tim 1:7), but there is also a the fear of God which is a good fear. There is also a natural mechanism of fear that God gives us for self-preservation)

Ps. 111:10 teaches that “THE FEAR OF THE LORD is the beginning of wisdom”.

THE BLESSINGS AND THE CURSES

In Deuteronomy 28:1-14, GOD PROMISES ‘BLESSING’ on those who keep His commandments.

In Deuteronomy 28:15-68 God says that HE WILL SMITE WITH CURSES those who do not keep His commandments.

JESUS VALIDATED THIS PRINCIPLE IN THE NEW TESTAMENT when He said in…

Matt 19:16-19 “And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS. He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.” KJV

Those who argue that this is legalism are calling the Bible, God the Father and Jesus Christ legalists.

ANANIAS AND SAPPHIRA

Acts 5:1-12 says when Ananias and Sapphira lied to the Holy Ghost they dropped dead. Satan can kill and is behind murder and is a destroyer (Jn 8:44, Jn 10:10), but this was NOT SATAN who killed Ananias and Sapphira. This happened in the New Testament.

THE WRATH OF GOD

THE BOOK OF REVELATION speaks specifically and in graphic terms about THE WRATH OF GOD. The 7 Vials; 7 Seals; 7 Trumpet Judgments that God will pour out on this wicked world during the Great Tribulation. Rev. 14:10, 19; 15:1, 7; 16:1

Rev 6:16-17 “And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from THE WRATH OF THE LAMB (JESUS): For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?” KJV

Rev 16:11 “And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and REPENTED NOT of their deeds.”

HELL

Matt 10:28 “And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” KJV

Luke 12:5 “But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.” KJV

It is God who will judge you and determine if you spend eternity in heaven or in hell.

‘GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME?’

Rom 11:22 “Behold therefore THE GOODNESS AND SEVERITY OF GOD: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.” KJV

Heb 10:31 “It is A FEARFUL THING to fall into the hands of the living God.” KJV

Today ‘THE FEAR OF GOD’ and respect for God and His Word can hardly be found, especially among many preachers who are using their pulpits to literally teach opposite the Bible, God’s Word. Many spin the Word of God and turn the truth into a lie (Ro 1:25). The amazing thing is that they do this brazenly in the name of Jesus.

Matt 7:22-23 “Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied IN THY NAME? And IN THY NAME have cast out devils? And IN THY NAME done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” KJV

Acts 17:30 “And the times of this ignorance God winked at” KJV

God no longer winks at copycat preachers who are preaching the perverted and false doctrines of other preachers or of their denominations. On the Judgment Day you won’t be able to tell God, ‘I didn’t know!’ You have the Bible. You need to find out the truth first hand from the Bible. There is no excuse anymore! Otherwise the preacher himself becomes ‘the blind leading the bind,’ Lk 6:39. (See the article: ‘Changing the Bible’ www.lorendavis.com)

2 Peter 2:1-2 “But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be FALSE TEACHERS among you, WHO PRIVILY SHALL BRING IN DAMNABLE HERESIES, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And MANY SHALL FOLLOW THEIR PERNICIOUS WAYS; by reason of whom THE WAY OF TRUTH SHALL BE EVIL SPOKEN OF.” KJV

It is amazing how people can say that they believe the Bible is God’s Word, then believe and teach opposite of what it says. This is not revelation, it is unbelief and deception. No preacher, teacher, prophet, apostle or prophet has the last word about the Word of God. Its truths stand alone. The greatest enemies of the Bible are the massive hordes of ‘Christian’ preachers who find fault with the Bible and criticize it openly from their pulpits, and in its stead give their own revelation and proclaim that ‘this’ is what God is saying.

2 Peter 1:20 “Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.” KJV

How can one call himself a Christian and dispute the Bible?

Prov 30:5 “Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.” KJV

Jesus said in Matt 4:4 “Man shall not live by bread alone, but BY EVERY WORD that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.” KJV

The light of new Hope for the Bright future in Africa: Oh, really: Ryuho Okowa, Japanese Happy Science Cult leader to conduct first lecture in Africa, on 23rd – June-2012 at, Namboole Stadium Kampala, Uganda



 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works(2 Corinthians 11:14-15).

 

Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD(Jeremiah 17:5).

Who is Ryuho Okawa??

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryuho_Okawa

Ryuho Okawa (大川 隆法 Ōkawa Ryūhō?, born July 7, 1956 in Tokushima Prefecture) is the CEO and founder of the Happy Science religious organization and the Happiness Realization Party in Japan. After graduating from the University of Tokyo, he joined a Tokyo-based trading house. While working at its New York headquarters on the 40th floor of the 1 World Trade Center from 1982-1983, he studied finance at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. Just as he got promoted, he resigned his business career and started Happy Science on October 6, 1986. Since the founding of Happy Science, Okawa has reportedly published over 500 books, with 7 films based on his teachings like: The Laws of the Sun, The Laws of Eternity, and The Golden Laws.These three books contain the core teachings of Happy Science. In a related article (Tuesday, August 4, 2009), The Japan Times quotes Okawa's political organization, which claims that he is a reincarnation of Buddha who achieved enlightenment in March 1981 "and awakened to the hidden part of his consciousness, El Cantare, whose mission is to bring happiness to all humanity". He is married to Kyoko Okawa, former leader of the Happiness Realization Party and "the reborn Aphrodite and the bodhisattva of wisdom and intellect". Okawa was the target of a failed assassination attempt by Aum Shinrikyo in January 1995 using VX agent.

What is the Happy Science cult???

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Science

Happy Science (幸福の科学 Kōfuku-no-Kagaku?) is a new religious and spiritual movement founded in Japan on 6 October 1986 by Ryuho Okawa. Happy Science became an official religious organization in Japan 7 March 1991. In the USA, Happy Science has been a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization since 1994.
In February 2008, the official English name for the group was changed from the Romanized Japanese Kofuku-no-Kagaku (literal translation "science of happiness") to the English rendering "Happy Science". Their former English name was "IRH - The Institute for Research in Human Happiness" which is still the name for their publishing company "IRH Press".

Teaching of the Happy Science Cult 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Science  
Okawa claims to channel the spirits of Muhammad, Christ, Buddha and Confucius and claims to be the incarnation of the supreme spiritual being called El Cantare. Happy Science claims that El Cantare is the true hidden name of the Heavenly Father in the Old Testament, Elohim, known in the Middle East as the God of creation (El) and in other ancient cultures of the world as the Cosmic Tree of Life and the World Tree.
The basic teachings of Happy Science are "Exploration of the Right Mind" and the "Principles of Happiness". According to Okawa, in order to obtain happiness one must practice the Principles of Happiness known as "The Fourfold Path", Love, Wisdom, Self-Reflection and Progress. The only requirement to join Happy Science is that applicants must have "the aspiration and vision to seek the way and contribute to the realization of love, peace and happiness on earth".
Although its teachings are based on the Buddhist foundations of reflection and keeping Right Mind, it also incorporates modern day prosperity and development in order to improve oneself and society. The teachings given by Ryuho Okawa are said to be universal and center on the pluralistic belief that all major religions originated from one source.

Ten rules of wosdom

http://www.happyscience-uganda.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=49&Itemid=57
 
The Principles of Happiness, Love, the Mind, Enlightenment, Progress, Wisdom, Utopia, Salvation, Self-Reflection, and Prayer—these are the ten principles that can serve as a compass for a spiritual life, enabling each and every person to bring happiness and spiritual growth to themselves, and to all those around them.

The Laws of the Sun 

 

The Spiritual Laws and true history of creation of universe and human beings.
In this poweful book, Master Okawa reveal the transcendent nature of counciouness, the secret of our multi-dimensional universe. This book is for those  who are seeking for enlightment about Cosmic conciousness, our true nature and our mission over the reincanations on this world.
