The Senior Pastor of Dunamis International Gospel Centre, Pastor Paul Enenche, has warned people to avoid using successful unbelievers as role models.
The cleric gave this warning during his sermon at the Dunamis International Gospel Centre in Abuja on Sunday.
According to him, people should not be misled by the apparent success of individuals who are not connected to God but still amass wealth, noting that such individuals have made allegiances to other entities.
He emphasized that there is a limit to which hard work will take a man, adding that there is something successful unbelievers have bowed to in certain realms.
He maintained that, although these so-called successful people might not openly talk about it, they have connections with certain realms.
He said, “Let me tell you something, there is a limit to which hard work will take a man, but in certain realms, there is something you bow to. Satan told Jesus, ‘Bow for me and I will give you the world and all its glory.’ When you see people who seem to own the world and its glory and they are not connected to God, there is something they have bowed to. So that you don’t feel deceived. Many people won’t talk about it. But they have connections.”
Citing a certain billionaire as an example, he continued, “I heard of a billionaire, the billionaire all of you know, when they were talking about God and worshiping God, he said he doesn’t believe in God and heaven and said if there is a hell he doesn’t mind going there because it will be very interesting, given what he has seen, it seems like the majority of people will go to hell. So it is better to go where people are. That’s a celebrated billionaire globally talking like that.
“That is directly or indirectly communicating where their allegiances are, where they have bowed to. So you don’t use ‘people who did not know God but are still successful’ as examples of nothing because you don’t know the altars that are behind their glory. But there is a glory superior to all the glory and that is a glory that comes from above.”
