About this ebook

They come to church in imported handmade suits creased on the soft leather seats of their latest fuel guzzlers that any equally flashy member of a powerful political wing of a senate or parliament would break a bank to own. Their expensive colognes waft luxuriant scents on the pulpit where jewelry from gold and ruby chains to diamond rings are just a peek into what ‘prosperity gospel’ means in manifest opulence.Along with many others you could have given money, gone to meetings, called in front for a prayer, laid hands on only to be pushed down and told it is God’s power. You and your friends or family have been lied to, caught up in these false teachings and devastated. Then you look back and realize that the ones that truly are out in the fields spreading the Gospel are our missionaries, the ones you know or have heard of, the men and women who are in the gospel battle front. We have been all called to help the poor in spirit, not feed men's appetites for greed of worldly wealth. Look at the women and men who have set up castles for themselves in the name of prosperity right in the cities where they hoard millions given to them by unsuspecting Christians. Many are hurting, they are hungry and poor, yet the “shepherds” are gathering the money from these poor souls into their own banks accounts and storehouse. They are an abomination, and so many of us have helped them reach the level of their apostasy.

Will Anthony, Jr

Will Anthony Jr. is currently the Chairman of the Uasin Gishu County Land Control Board which caters for over one million people. Before this stint, he worked in other capacities with the National government. He has also been lecturer in three religious institutions, a service to the youth to gather knowledge from the aging population. In his life time, Will Anthony Jr. says he has met a lot of people and can unflinchingly say that he loved most of them. Why most of them? Well, it is a tall order to love everyone you meet! Will Anthony Jr. has written several e-books touching on diverse subjects that relate to society. The books extensively cover human social and economic practices and this is so because expertise in one field in Africa can become a drudgery according to his practical view. His perception is that if you were born in Africa and the continent is your aboriginal home, you are likely to have English as your second language (ESL). Sometimes it could even be a third language. For him, he had to learn his mother tongue then learn both English and Swahili simultaneously. He went to his pre-primary bare foot, later he joined the local primary school 5 Km away and had to trek barefoot again not because his parents could not buy him shoes but because cobblers were a rare find. That journey was a daily toil of 10 Km, 5 days in a week or ~270 days yearly for 7 years. With a smirk he says that when you achieve a PhD in Africa, then You have done Plenty of hard Digging (PhD) or you have a Permanent head Damage (PhD) and you might end up in a ditch because your IQ cannot contain the booze like the local fellas!"Why did the English colonize Africa?" To keep the African languages in Czech (check), and he says that one must forgive this pun. But besides the pun, English has broken both social and economic barriers of the once "dark continent" whose forefathers slaved the white farms and firms to lace the pockets of their Lords.A PhD holder in Africa will still practice other 'trades' though they maybe 'very' learned because poverty is shameless, one has to draw bounds through plenty of smart work or else, it will be a shame to steal so as to maintain class.He published a book in 1992, but the publisher coned him , he took her to court and the case aged in judicial corridors for 12 years. He then made a decision to abandon the matter and to forget about writing books. However, Self publishing made him to change that decision. More than anything, He salutes Smashwords Inc. for the platform.In retrospect, He recalls a Dr. Alfred Sam, a friend of his from North America who was also a dean of studies in a local university, exposing his white ass in the university's auditorium to catch attention. The noise ceased as students and lecturers turned to look at the grown-up man on the podium doing the abominable. Well, the good Dr. in anthropology then simply pulled up his trousers buckled the belt and said, "Thank You, now I have your attention..."For the sake of simplicity, without much display of academia, Will Anthony Jr. is a writer in the global village market . For this, he Salutes all his readers and all lovers of written work. In a word of caution, he says that men and women alike must bear. In reference, there is an Ibo saying that every market place has it's mad people who will attempt to mar the business of the seemingly sane people. On the other hand, the English say everyone is mad, it's only the degree madness that is at variance. Salutes most profoundly!

    Spiritual bareness cannot be assuaged or redeemed by the riches of the world kingdoms.

    INTRODUCTION

    In my Sunday school, we used to sing;

    "The cross in front, the world behind;

    The cross in front… the world behind;

    No turning back, no turning back!"

    Today that sounds medieval or stone age! The song has been reversed by no one else but the schooled religious men and women of this era.

    "The LORD is my shepherd; ..., Psalms: 23:1 and it is as though the author forgot to append He takes care of my sheep!"

    Thus the lifestyle of very rich and religious is the current trend for many men and women of the Cloak today.

    Does it break your heart to see these people of the frock driving the latest-model cars and living in palatial homes as every Sunday you walk on foot from a semblance of a house to the church with your mite in the hope that the Lord will have a visitation on you as He has had on your pastor? That hope is a long shot as today’s church leader is more of a prince than a servant and the Devil himself has ensured that they are ensnared by the riches of the earth. True, Christ has authority over life and death, but the world is still in the grasp of the evil one. The verdict has been drawn, the Devil will be subjected to eternal punishment, but his last kicks will sweep an abundant number of men and women down his road to damnation!

    "And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth." M't:28:18 (cf John 5:22; 17: 2; Eph 1: 22).

    THE EARTHLY KINGDOMS

    When the devil tempted Christ about the kingdoms of the earth belonging to him, Christ did not dispute that but only refused to bow down to the devil though he held sway over the cosmos or order of the world.

    "Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the
