LOOK OUT FOR SCAMS!

2 Timothy 4:3-4 (AMP)

³ For the time is coming when [people] will not tolerate (endure) sound and wholesome instruction, but, having ears itching [for something pleasing and gratifying], they will gather to themselves one teacher after another to a considerable number, chosen to satisfy their own liking and to foster the errors they hold,

⁴ And will turn aside from hearing the truth and wander off into myths and man-made fictions.

P.T. BARNUM, THE MASTERMIND THAT CREATED “THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH” USED TO SAY, “THERE’S A SUCKER BORN EVERY MINUTE!”

 I CAN TELL YOU DEAR FRIEND; THAT STATEMENT IS SO TRUE. I’VE BEEN PERSONALLY INVOLVED IN SEVERAL EXPERIENCES THAT SOUNDED LIKE GOOD OPPORTUNITIES.  HOWEVER, THEY INSTEAD ENDED UP BEING VERY PAINFUL AND EXTREMELY COSTLY REMINDERS OF THE VALUE OF CHECKING EVERYTHING OUT BEFORE YOU INVEST IN IT.

 SOMETHING THAT SEEMS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE USUALLY IS.

 IN THE SPIRITUAL SENSE, THERE ARE THOSE IN THE BODY OF CHRIST, SOME WELL KNOWN PASTORS, AND CHRISTIAN LEADERS, WHO TEACH HARMFUL PRINCIPLES THAT DON’T LINE UP WITH THE ENTIRE BODY OF SCRIPTURE. THERE ARE ALSO THOSE WHO ARE INTO FAKERY AND TRICKERY, WILLING TO MANIPULATE YOU TO HANDLING OVER ALL OF YOUR FINANCES TO FUND THEIR ILL-GOTTEN LIFESTYLES. USUALLY IT INVOLVES USING SOME SORT OF FAKE FORMULA OR MAGICAL TALISMAN WHICH IS MEANT TO PROVIDE SOME SORT OF “GJINNI (GENIE) IN A BOTTLE” EXPERIENCE. IT IS NOTHING MORE THAN ANOTHER WAY TO MAKE THEM RICH WHILE DEPLETING YOUR OWN FINANCES. ALL OF THESE THINGS HAVE IN COMMON ONE MAJOR IDEA….

 THEY ARE ALL SCAMS!!

THIS MONTH ON SAGGY, WE’LL BE DEALING WITH THE TEACHING OF ERRONEOUS PRINCIPLES THAT DEAL WITH RECEIVING TREMENDOUS WEALTH FAST WITHOUT HAVING TO WORK FOR IT, THE “GET RICH QUICK” TEACHING IN THE BODY OF CHRIST. I WON’T BE NAMING NAMES (THAT I NEVER DO UNLESS THAT PERSON IS IN DIRECT OPPOSITION TO GOD OR IS DANGER OF DIVINE JUDGMENT) , JUST EXAMINING WHERE THESE LINES OF ILLOGICAL THINKING COME FROM. AS ALWAYS ANY FEEDBACK OR YOUR COMMENTS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME AND VALUED.

IN HIM,
