Religion is funny and painful at the same time. For decades, one can serve faithfully in different departments in a denomination — sing faithfully in the choir for years, mop the floor and clean the chairs for years, usher for years — while believing they're rendering service to God and everything is recorded in Heaven in their name, awaiting a reward. They'll also believe they're receiving blessings on earth while “worshiping God” in these places. Unknowing to them, God has absolutely no business to do with that denomination. The pastor or founder isn't called of God — they're operating with black magic. And literally every member of that denomination is in spiritual bondage — like tons of chains tied to their necks and held by their General Overseer! Lol! But God is so merciful! Sometimes I'm forced to question why He would allow one person go that _brazen_ in their evil desire (powered by greed) to *just have of a church* — another source of income. An establishment where people can look up to them, revere them; while he/she turns them into slaves and cash cows. I'm reminded of this scripture: *2 Corinthians 11:13*, _“For such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ."_ As the scriptures say in *Philippians 3:18-19*, these founders and “shepherds” are the *enemies of the Cross of Christ*, and their end is destruction. But what happens to the people blindly working for them, thinking they're serving God? Sadly, they're rendering fruitless service. I don't really blame them because I once found myself in their situation, before the true God stepped in, saved me, opened my eyes, and pulled me out of that mess. There's hope... somehow! Every chosen person who is in such a situation will eventually get delivered by the true God. Only the sons and daughters of the devil, just like their founders, will remain and continue running their family business. God will continue helping us in this evil world.
