Prophet Ebenezer Akinyele
By 'Gbenga Bankole
Christians across the globe have been admonished not to post their achievements on social media because not everyone appreciates the success of others.
The Zonal Superintendent of Christ Apostolic Church, SouthWest Houston Zone, Prophet Ebenezer Akinyele stated this while ministering last Sunday at CAC New Covenant District headquarters, Iju-Ishaga, Lagos. CAC New Covenant is the church planted by the Music Director/ Director of Administration of CAC Nigeria and Overseas, Pastor Tope Dada.
Prophet Akinyele advised the congregation to probably post only jokes on social media.
He added that, "let people feel as if you don't know what you're doing. Behave as if you can't buy a bread, before they know it you will own a bakery. The secret of success is secret. Your colleagues are not your friend, stop telling them your plans."
The Clergyman also said that every prophecy is fulfilled on the account of spiritual responsibilities, noting that God wants to break financial hardship in the lives of many, but they must accept spiritual responsibilities.
On spiritual responsibilities, Prophet Akinyele implored Christians not to analyse God with your their brains, adding that until you pass the test of prosperity, you are not qualified to prosper.
"If you're not a giver today, you will be a begger tomorrow. Anything that is too big in your hands to drop will be too big for you to have. You don't receive out of poverty, you give out of poverty. If you eat it all this year, you will miss it all. Look for opportunities to sow in the house of God. When you sow what pleases God, He will give you what pleases you," the Cleric stated.
According to him, intellectualism is good, but spirituality is the core (most important), as what God will do can't be measured by scientific knowledge.
Prophet Akinyele further implored everyone not to respond to any critics this year, saying that; "anybody that criticizes you is a pointer you are doing better than them."
It was a moment of divine encounter when he led the congregation on some prophetic prayers, as many lives were greatly impacted.
