Hello Chris-Vincent,
The Mercy of God is being taken for granted by several people and worst of them all are his own people, those who claim to working in His name for the good of His people.
I’ve heard several bad accounts from people on different men of God but until my recent encounter, I did not know from experience how some of these men of God operated.
Few years ago, someone I knew briefly in America offered to buy me through auction a cheap BMW x5 and ship it to Ghana for 15,000 dollars and since I was excited about the deal and its perfect presentation, I cleared all my accounts including my credit cards to send this guy the mentioned amount.
And after this man that I got to know through a flat mate received the money via moneygram, I did not hear from him again. That was the beginning of my many woes!
Two years after my money was gone for good, I was making dinner in the kitchen with another flatmate (a woman) when we heard a Pastor speaking on the kitchen stationed radio, saying, someone listening to him right now has been duped and he can pray to help the person get his money back.
I felt this man was referring to me and since the woman I was in the kitchen with wanted her boyfriend at the time to marry her, we decided to go and see this Pastor having taken his name and phone number from the radio show.
We called the Pastor the next day and booked for an appointment to see him. On the train, I thought about what I would do with my money when the guy finally give it back to me and how I will never send any money to anyone even if I know the person for many years to get me anything in this world. I have learned my lesson the hard way.
We saw the Pastor and told him about our problems and after listening and saying a short prayer with us, he asked that we pay 150 pounds so he can use this money to buy some oils and other things to pray for us. I was desperate and my flat mate was also so we paid this money. And that was it all. We lost the money to this man of God and we did not see any result.
Soon after, my flatmate’s boyfriend even left her and I did not hear anything from this guy who had taken my money and when I called the Pastor, he said he had prayed for us and wonders shall happen in few days.
I felt duped for the second time and I was beginning to seem like the stupid one here, handing over money to people easily.
This is where things get interesting. I recently lost my job and have been looking for a permanent job for sometime now without any success. I visited my elder sister last week and she told me about a Pastor that a friend has introduced to her, adding that this Pastor is very powerful and he can assist me through prayers to find another job.
I took the Pastor’s phone number and called. The Pastor asked that I come and see him at Edmonton in North London the next day for directions from God. I went for this meeting and shockingly, it was the same Pastor who took my 150 pounds about a year ago.
I was furious when I saw him but kept things calm and behaved as if I did not even know him. He did not recognize me and after telling him about my job problem, once again, he said a short prayer with me by holding my hands. And asked that, I pay 250 pounds this time for him to buy some oils and other stuff to pray for me and God will do wonders in my life.
I took his account details and walked off the building very furious—feeling stupid for a start and also upset that such people are allowed by God to carry on doing this to innocent desperate people who actually want to see the face of God.
I called my sister and told her that, this man of God is fake, I know him and he does not deserve a mention. When I told my sister about my previous dealing with him, she was shocked and mentioned that, just few days ago, she also paid 250 pounds into his account.
Then I was more upset, I wanted to call him and tell him about himself but my sister advised that I should let things go.
Why on earth does God allow such people to continue with their deceit, using his Holy name?
I guess when people are desperate, they fall for everything just as I did and was about to—once again.
