Nigeria has seen a lot of great men of God. We are blessed to have men like Bishop Oyedepo, Pastor Adeboye and Pastor Chris, all coming from the same country.
These men are already old, and it is certain that they will not stay with us forever. Their time to leave this earth may be drawing near. We need young ministers to replace them.
Mike Bamiloye, the president of the Mount Zion Films, has declared that God is raising a mighty army of youths to replace the great fathers who have labored, and are on their way home. But he revealed one fear he has about these young ministries. He said his fear is that they might not know the secret weapon Satan has used to pull down great fathers in the past. This secret weapon is pride.
Mike Bamiloye’s fears are justified in my opinion. You see, pride is a very subtle thing. You might think you are free from it has a strong hold on you. Pride was what caused Satan to fall from heaven, so it is not surprising that it will be the weapon he will use to bring someone down.
This is especially dangerous when a young minister is beginning to do great things for God. If he begins to gather large crowds and record huge revivals, it is possible for pride to begin to enter his heart, and he might not even know it.
But then, these young ministers are not naive. I feel like they have enough of the old fathers to guide them, therefore they will avoid the mistakes that their fathers have made. If you consider it this way, then Mike Bamiloye’s fears might not be justified.
Either way, it is important to be careful. He who thinks he stands should take heed lest he falls.
What are your thoughts? Are Mike Bamiloye’s fears justified or not? Share them in the comments. Be blessed.
