THEME: THE HIJACKED PULPIT: EXPOSING SPIRITUAL WICKEDNESS AND THE PROSTITUTION OF THE FAITH 

This is an open letter to ministers of the Church and leadership in society, nations and the world. I write as an apostle-prophet of Jesus Christ and the Father to the church, nations, and the world. Accordingly, we dedicate the article to Jesus Christ, the Reconciler, Saviour, Redeemer, and King—and to the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth, who has taught our hands and equipped us for war. To the Triune God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—be power, dominion, majesty, and glory now and forever more. Amen! 

Now, we write on a concept familiar in the Church, Spiritual Wickedness as put forth by the Holy Spirit through the Apostle Paul (Ephesians 6: 12). The Spirit has revealed that there is spiritual wickedness operating in high places heavenly, supernatural spheres affect and dominate the human estate, human society, and world order as a whole. It is this state of affairs that Christ Jesus has come—not only to deliver the world and bring an end thereof, but also to set captives free, open prison doors, and destroy the works of the devil. In that respect, the Church of Christ has been raised and equipped as AN ARMY for the Most High God, for the wars connected with Christ Human Redemption and Kingdom Missions on earth. 

Indeed, the Christ Messianic Kingdom is established through warfare, judgement, and justice, thereby, establishing righteousness in the nations and the world. In this open letter, we are taking liberty of the teachings of Scriptures and the special leading of the Holy Spirit, to declare that instead of battling to deliver, liberate, and redeem, there is spiritual wickedness of a dual nature in the church.  The army of the Lord and instruments of change in the spiritual and social order of the world are being turned into evil and wickedness. 

Apart from the issues of sin and human depravity with which the church is battling, there have erupted wings of the church where ministers engage in the employment of Satanic powers, deception, and wicked devices to rob, exploit, oppress, and subject worshippers and seekers of God unto the worship of Satan, false salvation and false hope. 

Furthermore, there is a growing belief in and resort to purely human spirit and mind power—or, simply put human knowledge and hope in natural order of fallen man and creation. These are but graven images which promote a false sense of security and hope in nature rather than God. They have a form of godliness but deny Christ, the source of power, righteousness, salvation, sanctification, and redemption. (2nd Timothy 3: 5; 1st Corinthians 1: 21-31; 2: 4-10). We declare this phenomenon also as Spiritual Wickedness in Low Places of human power, nature and natural order in general. We conclude that there is spiritual wickedness of both supernatural and natural nature in the church. This has weakened the thrust of the Gospel and Faith in Christ, and the Christ Human Redemption and Kingdom missions in the world and hope in God in general. 

In the church today, we have three forces perpetuating wickedness. First, there are ministers and organised churches that operate with power of fallen angels of the Luciferian host, familiar spirits, and demonic power from dwarfs, mermaids, spirits in the forests, mountains and hills, waters and sea, and who subject peoples to all kinds of deception and seduction, false salvation, and  so-called miracles, success plans and winning ways, in short, exploitation, extortion, and oppression. 

Among these are so-called apostles, prophets, bishops, and pastors who ply their trade of seduction and deception, lies and flattery, exploitation and mischief with high-sounding spiritual jargons and claims of anointing, authority, and power. Their claims of healing and deliverance, miracles, and power are supported by orchestrated demos, hirelings, and games of chance such as is practised by gamblers and lottery operators who exploit the marginalised and poor, the weak, needy and credulous. The young with high aspirations and ambitions follow such false prophets and false teachers with childlike glee everywhere. They draw crowds of both high and low, rich and poor, educated, and not so well educated into their web of seduction, deception, and exploitation, with their high-sounding claims, sensuous music and empty promises. 

Let us consider a few pet sayings with this class of ministers – “Expect your miracle”, “I prophesy over you”, “I can see you taking delivery of your car at the port”, “I can see millionaires rising up.” Such sayings of lies, flattery, and seduction draw clamorous shouts, rush to the altar with seed money, etc. There is always something new on the hook line. There is another group whose stock in trade is specialty, in ‘anointing’ and ‘power’, ‘healing’ and ‘deliverance,’ ‘miracles’ and ‘salvation,’ and concerns with the issues of life and living conditions, such as with food, shelter, clothing, and the good life, marriage, business, success and promotion common with pagans. (Matthew 6: 25-34)  

Within this group, there are some so occupied with position and power, progress, prosperity, wealth, fame, human vanity, and earthly glory, that they are even falsely and wickedly interpreting the pursuit of earthly gain and glory as being the fulfillment of Christ’s government and kingdom order, His dominion, reign, and rule on earth as taught in the scripture. (Matthew 6: 33; Is. 9: 6-7; Revelation 11: 15) Again, there is yet another group of ministers engaged in the corruption and prostitution of the power of the word of God and the Holy Spirit, the gifts of the Holy Spirit, Divine power, and church authority, for the pursuit of private, personal and group advantage and gain, and not the Holy Heavenly Vision and Mission of Jesus Christ and the Triune God.  

Many in this group of ministers have turned the church and the Christian faith at best into religion and social ‘do-good’ mission. Some have turned their churches/fellowships into cults. Others are just enjoying the abuse and prostitution of the word and power of God, the corruption, and diversion of the power and glory of God and His Christ unto men, human wisdom, and earthly gain, and glory. But all this says the preacher is vanity upon vanity. Thus, like the game of politics, business, and human pursuit in general, the church and the faith are being undermined and plundered by spiritual wickedness in high and low places, by the diversion and prostitution of Divine heavenly supernatural power, for earthly gains as by the employment of Satanic/demonic supernatural power to seduce, deceive, exploit, and oppress even people seeking to find, know and worship God. 

All are engaged in the pursuit of earthly gain and vanity, and the promotion of world order of abomination and condemnation, and not Christ human redemption cause, nor the God Kingdom order on earth mission for which the church was set in place. (Matthew 16: 16-19; Luke 10: 18-22) Christ is being crucified afresh daily by church  ministers who are espousing human knowledge and attainments, earthly gain, and glory and Satanic power and control of peoples and nations and the world far above the Triune God’s vision and the truth in Christ appearance, and His  (messianic) kingdom mission for peoples and nations, creation, the world and the entire universe. 

It is spiritual wickedness to seduce and deceive, to rob, and loot the oppressed, weak, and needy, and to condemn the suffering, genuine seekers, and worshippers of God to falsehood, lies, and flattery like as politicians, the leaders in nations and the global political economy do in pursuit of power, position and gain, wealth, fame and earthly glory.
