It is unfortunate that criminality has extended to the house of God. There are people who goes to the house of God with the aim of defrauding those that are inside. There are also those people in the house of God who start with the honest heart, but due to some hardship and challenges of the way, they get tempted into sin, they change and start stealing and committing various crimes in the house of God. These people are no longer different from those who came specifically to commit crime. They are looking at harvesting money and other resources from their victims, and leave them in worse condition than they found them.
Criminals and false prophets in the house of God are not easily recognizable. They give themselves great titles of the house of God like prophets, apostles, teachers, evangelist, bishops and with other fancy names that makes them appeal to their victims. False prophets speak and tell people what they want to hear, promise them great future, and as a result they attract crowds of desperate people. You need to be careful when dealing with all people so that you can easily identify and separate those who are honest from the false prophets. The outcomes of the work that are person does will tell whether he has bad intentions or good ones. Be careful of these people.
The bible in Mat 7:15-20 CEV Says “Watch out for false prophets! They dress up like sheep, but inside they are wolves who have come to attack you. (16) You can tell what they are by what they do. No one picks grapes or figs from thorn-bushes. (17) A good tree produces good fruit, and a bad tree produces bad fruit. (18) A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot produce good fruit. (19) Every tree that produces bad fruit will be chopped down and burned. (20) You can tell who the false prophets are by their deeds.”
*Beware of false prophets*.
