Good day steemians,It is another beautiful day and a weekend most importantly ,This is the only time we get to actually rest well throughout the week days depending on our jobs. Today i will be writing on a very disturbing topic that is currently affecting us ,this has to deal with fake prophets or pastors. In Nigeria today ,overtime different churches has been created , i am not criticizing anyone for opening and naming a church as long as you are sure you received a divine calling and besides we all serve the same God. In luke 9:1-2 the bible says >And he gathered the twelve disciples together and gave them power and authority over all demons and the power to cure diseases, and he sent them out to preach the word of God and to heal. Always have it in mind that God calls his own,you cannot just startup a ministry without receiving that divine call from the almighty himself. <center></center> <sub><center>[image source](https://i1.wp.com/www.emeryhorvath.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/the-call-507491723_1280x720.jpg?fit=760%2C428)</center></sub> <center>**SOCIETY TODAY**</center> Looking at our society today as a whole ,you find out that you see different churches everywhere .Especially in Nigeria they have turned the church into a business center or better more into a competition .I can assure you that when you walk into any street in Nigeria you will see a church or two and still with all this churches things are going worst everyday this sign alone will tell you that most of this so called churches are just as good as nothing. Just imagine a man will just wake up and then tell his family members that God called him and then next he sets up a church beside his house and begin to conduct services, this are the false and fake prophets God warned us about in the bible. >There are also false prophets among you, just as there are also false teachers among you too. (2 Peter 2:1) Most of this false prophets do all sorts of things because of money, and so they will organize all sort of program especially progams relating to deliverance or wealth and then you see people trooping in. You see most people are easily deceived by all this fake prophets because they do not have the spirit to discern and so they fall victim. Do you know how far this so pastor have gone just to get power from the under world and then come out to impress people?? some people will even go as far as recommending the church to loved once and families. That is why today in most churches especially in Africa people only like to go to churches where miracle and deliverance are always done instantly ,one has to remember that God's time is the best. We begin to hear cases of pastors sleeping with women in the church ,there is no how these things won't occur as long as they are not called by our father. <center></center> <sub><center>[image source](http://media.freebibleimages.org/stories/FB_Samuel_Listens/overview_images/012-samuel-listens.jpg?1436947944)</center></sub> <center>**SCRIPTURES ABOUT CALLING**</center> >The bible says you did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you, that you should go forth and bear fruit and that your fruit should stay and abide, so that whatever you ask the in my name,i will give to you.(John 15:16). >There is one body and one Spirit,just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call—(Ephesians 4:4) We all remember how God called samuel in 1 Samuel 3:1-21 .Samuel was ministering to the Lord under Eli. And it was said that the word of the lord was rare in those days,it was said vision did not occur often. We were made to understand that at the time Eli eyesight was bad and he just sat in one place. Then the Lord called Samuel, and he ran to Eli but after it happened again Eli already knew it was the lord and he told samuel what to do next when he heard the voice again. <center>**IN CONCLUSION**</center> We must seek the face of the lord and hear from him clearly before jumping into conclusion, remember nothing is hidden under the earth as all evil deeds or lies will be revealed someday. <center></center>
