Has the Gospel been hijacked?

We are not just in a political crisis—we are in a theological captivity.

When nationalism replaces Christ, and ideology replaces the cross, the Church becomes complicit in deception. This isn’t just about the right or the left. It’s about a distorted gospel—one that trades discipleship for dominance and truth for transaction.

📖 “You will know them by their fruits.” (Matthew 7:16)

This is a call to:
✅ Dismantle idols—left and right
✅ Reclaim the Gospel—not for power, but for witness
✅ Follow the Lamb—not the loudest voice in the room

✊ It’s time to repent, rebuild, and return to Christ.

🛑 Is wealth a blessing or a bo***ge?

The Bible doesn’t condemn wealth, but it does warn us.

From Genesis to Revelation, Scripture shows how wealth can either serve God’s justice or become a rival idol that entraps nations, churches, and souls.

Wealth is never neutral.

It either liberates through Kingdom stewardship — Or enslaves through spiritual captivity.

✅ Learn how:
- Sabbath and Jubilee confront greed
- Jesus and Paul warned of wealth’s grip
- The early Church modeled radical generosity
- The cross redefines economic power

📖 “You cannot serve both God and mammon.” — Matthew 6:24

🛑 We are standing at a crossroads.

Division is growing. Shouting replaces listening. And the Church is caught in the middle—tempted by nationalism, silence, or theological retreat.

But theology—when rooted in Christ, shaped by humility, and committed to justice—can still be a unifying force. Not a weapon. Not a retreat. A prophetic witness.

✅ Captivity Theology names what binds us.
✅ Holistic Ministry proclaims Christ-centered liberation.
✅ Conviction without arrogance.
✅ Unity without uniformity.
✅ A Gospel for the wounded, the immigrant, the conservative, the progressive.

🕊️ The world doesn’t need louder opinions—it needs deeper compassion.

🔥Prophet or Pastor? Why Not Both?

We are living in a time where silence can be complicity—but so can arrogance.

Some want soft comfort. Others want hard truth. But Jesus gave us both.

He turned over tables and washed feet.
He rebuked Pharisees and restored sinners.
He cried for the city and called it to repent.

Tonight on BISHOP Talk, I’m speaking on the sacred tension between prophetic witness and pastoral care—and why we can’t afford to choose one over the other.

Are We Just Speaking, or Are We Seeing?

The difference between activists and prophets? Activists call for change. Prophets see a new reality in God. Activists react to injustice. Prophets reveal the kingdom. Are we just speaking, or are we seeing?

The Prophetic Voice vs. The Political Echo

One speaks truth even when it’s unpopular. The other says what people want to hear. One is led by the Spirit. The other follows the trends. One calls for repentance. The other demands power. Which are we listening to?
