When you say this one is fake, that one is fake; who is now being called by God?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou say Adeboye is fake and doesn\u2019t say the truth, Kumuyi is fake, Oyedepo is fake, but I can tell you that this is the deception of the devil.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe devil and his agents have taken over the social media space if all these men are fake, who did God actually call?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis means that those making all these claims are doing it to weaken Christians. When they are saying these things, you will lose interest in going to church; that is their gimmick.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGod revealed this to me many years ago. I sit and look at them on social media. Some of them castigating men of God on social media have their hair unkempt; you watching should have known that this person\u2019s life does not please God, you should know that this one is a ready tool by the devil.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet me tell you, the devil can use anybody against the work of God but do not allow yourself to be used by the devil.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t misunderstand me, I\u2019m not saying that there are no fake pastors or men of God, but it\u2019s not of us to judge, their works shall judge them before they die.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pastor Giwa also cautioned against over reliance on social media because it\u2019s not a consoler.<\/p>\n<p>He highlighted that the joy from social media is only temporal and not permanent.<\/p>\n<p>He said: \u201cMany people derive joy from social media, they think it can console them, but social media is not a consoler. Only the word of God can console you.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have seen so many couples that when having problems, the wife picks up her phone and go straight to social media thinking it will console her, no.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Highlighting James 4 verse 4 that \u2018a friend of the world is an enemy of God,\u201d Pastor Giwa noted that \u201cIt can only give you temporary joy, it can\u2019t give you permanent joy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you are addicted to social media, then you have become a friend of the world, you are no longer a friend of God but that of the world.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat was the reason why wrote in Galatians 3 to the Galatians Christians who were deceived by false prophets. They deviated from the true teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ and allowed false prophets to decide them by telling them hold onto the law of Moses, by telling them that if you are not circumcises, you can\u2019t enter into the kingdom of God.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut Paul corrected them that those circumcised that is killing, will that person enter into God\u2019s kingdom?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe should not be decided because so many Christians are decided through social media,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
