1 | Pray for the Lost and Misled in Africa | Ps 12:2 | DocTrinsograce | 243228 | ||
"'Are we preachers or witch doctors?' "Mbewe acknowledged that asking such a question is 'strange for the American ear' to hear, but added that, for him, as a pastor in Africa, he believes the modern movement is taking on the image of false traditions, in which pastors are acting like witch doctors by telling people ancestral spirits are keeping God's blessing from reaching them; but if they are paid a sum of money, they will wrangle with the spirit, or demon, and cast them out. "Reading from 2 Timothy 3:16-17 and 4:1-2, he said: 'All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work -- In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I give you this charge: Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage -- with great patience and careful instruction.' "According to Mbewe, in Africa, there has been a seismic shift in the popular understanding of who a pastor is supposed to be. This lack of understanding, he said, has led to a number of immoral and criminal acts being committed by pastors who've assumed the title of 'man of God,' and are using their position to spread false doctrine and take advantage of their followers." --Melisa Barnhart (2013) |

2 | Pray for the Lost and Misled in Africa | Ps 12:2 | EdB | 243236 | ||
I have not doubt men do try to exploit others on every continent ion the name of Christ. Do I condone it? Absolutely not! How will it be viewed in the future? Unless the rewriter of history change our history as they have the history of the Reformation I would expect such behavior to be condemned in the future as it is now. I do pray for the misled, here in America and everywhere I the world. I especially pray that those that have been told they can live in as the world and still be saved, that they can't lose their salvation will have their eyes open to the truth. |
