Are You a Faithful or a Faithfool? The Truth Behind Modern Religious Practices.
In Matthew 5:33ff, Jesus emphatically stated that you shouldn’t swear by anything; only say Yes or No. Anything else comes from the devil. Yet you go before your priest and swear with the Bible or before the Blessed Sacrament. You are not a faithful; you are a faithfool.
You allow your pastor to make you swear by the god of his General Overseer that if you cheat on your wife or husband, this or that will happen to you. You are not a faithful; you are a faithfool.

Your favorite prophet goes about with armed security guards. His or her office, home, and movements are guarded by these armed security personnel. Yet he sells you oil and handkerchiefs for protection from robbers and other harms, and you buy them. You’re a faithfool.
They stand on the pulpit and boast to you about how they’ve never been sick since they gave their lives to Christ. They make you avoid hospitals and medication when you need them. Yet, unknown to you, they secretly visit medical doctors for check-ups and treatment clandestinely, and you believe them. You are a faithfool.
Some people died from rejecting blood transfusion. Some pregnant women died from refusing surgical procedures because their pastors said they would deliver like Hebrew women, and you are still following the same pastors. You are a faithfool.
They tell you to sow seeds in times of adversity like the widow of Zarephath did to Elijah. You gave them your ‘rainy day’ savings, and they left with it. You forgot the part where Elijah didn’t go away with the woman’s “seed”. He multiplied it by God’s power, and both of them ate from it for the rest of the famine. In your case, your prophet has taken your ‘adversity seeds’ a number of times, and you are still struggling. Yet you are addicted to him because you are a faithfool.
You have been told a number of times that your tithes, seeds, and financial commitments to that ministry will make your case different. You’ve been doing this for years, and your case is even worse than those who don’t. Yet you still go there with your whole heart and life. You are a faithfool.
They give you multiple days of marathon fasting and prayers to deal with your enemies, to burn all those who are against you. Yet when they have problems with anyone, they call the police for them, and you are still looking up to them to deal with your enemies. Well done, faithfool.
You drag your husband or wife to the public, and the prophet asks you private questions in public. You talk about your private marital issues in public, before the camera. They not only record you but upload it on social media for people to watch. Tomorrow, your children will watch their parents talking about their family issues in public, and these things don’t bother you at all. Faithfool.
We are called to be Christ’s faithfuls. Don’t be a faithfool.
Catholic Priest Fada Oluoma.
