Here are the top 5 ways to identify fake pastors in your society. Fake pastors are on the increase, so are their churches, yet a lot of people still fall pray to their gimmicks of these so called “men of God”. In this post, we will be revealing to you some ways on how to identify and know a fake pastor.

This article is written to expose the gimmicks and tricks of fake pastors so as to ensure that readers of KikioTolu do not get caught by the trap of these wolves in sheep clothing. Below are the top 5 various ways to know those pastors who are fake.

1. They preach prosperity, things you love to hear

A real pastor or man of God should not just preach on the sweet things and promises of God, they should also tell you how strict God can be when sin is involved. Although, preaching prosperity isn’t bad, doing it in excess is what is bad. If you find any pastor that focuses more on riches and prosperity rather than the salvation of your souls, that pastor is fake as he is looking for ways to fill his own pocket rather than the salvation of souls.


2. They mislead others by twisting the words of the Bible

I know most people would be shocked at this particular way of identifying a fake pastor, but it is the truth. Most fake pastors make sure they mislead their congregation by twisting the words of the Holy Bible in a way it suits them and their false doctrine. It is advised that you should always try to cross check in your personal Bible whatever is being preached on the altar by your priest or pastor, so as to ascertain whether it is wrong or not.

3. Living a luxurious lifestyle

What is Christianity? I think it simply means Christ-like. Most pastors or men of God are guilty of this. Jesus Christ gave a model to his apostles and told them to do away with material things lest the devil uses such things to tempt them away from the truth. In today’s modern world, you see pastors, General overseers, priest and so on living luxurious lifestyles while their members go hungry and wallow in abject poverty waiting for God to make them rich. Some of these so called men of God own different properties running in billions of dollars, yet their congregation is suffering from economic downturn. This should not be so, a real and true pastor should learn to live a moderate life, while sharing with his fellow brethren.

4. Always asking for money (offering and tithe)

The demon for the love of money has crept into the hearts of these pastors that they place more emphasis on offerings and tithes. These pastors are fake as they will continue quoting the bible until you vomit your last penny in the offering or tithe box. They just want to enrich themselves, always asking for money for this project or for something not important for the salvation of people.

5. Miracle! Miracle! Miracle!

Do a miracle or perform signs and wonders and you are on your way not just to stardom but to wealth. I continue saying “After politics, the second fastest way to get rich in my country is religion”. Funny enough, most of these miracles are even staged managed, some pastors even go the extra-length of involving themselves in evil practices that will help draw people to their churches by the miracle they perform and since people love miracles, it is not surprising to a large crowd in such churches that emphasizes more on Miracles.
