The Rise Of False Pastors

Not all prophets performing miracles are of God, some are using satanic powers

- Zenoyise John

MANY people are calling themselves men of God, but are deceiving people using demonic or occult powers. Lately, “prophets” using demonic powers are getting exposed. We recently read about a shocking confession by a Limpopo pastor, who revealed that he used muthi to perform miracles in his church.

GREED AND HUNGER FOR POWER

The Bible has warned that many false prophets will rise in the last days working diverse signs and wonders to lead people astray, if possible, even the elect (Matthew 24:24). The challenge for true Christians is to properly figure out who is genuine and who is false.

Pastor Sfiso Makhathini of Word of Faith Ministries in Atteridgeville, Pretoria, says greed and a hunger for power are to blame for the performance of counterfeit miracles and delivery of heresy messages in churches.
