If you do a search on YouTube for any well know minister like Joel Osteen or T.D. Jakes you will see a ton a videos of them preaching or interviews they have done on TV. You will also see a number of videos that attempt to pick apart, attack and tear down their ministries.
The creators of these videos claim that they are trying to expose these ministers as “false prophets”. They are trying to save us from getting caught up in many well know ministries. The teachings, doctrines, and motives of many well-known ministers are constantly being called in to question.
You can call me crazy, but from my perspective, ministers like Joel Osteen, T.D. Jakes, Creflo Dollar, Joyce Meyer, Paula White, and Jamal Bryant all share the same goal of leading people to Christ. You may not agree with their theology or their methods of delivering the Gospel. Does that really matter? Differences in theology are one of the main reasons why there are so many denominations today.
Yes, many of them make a lot of money in the process. So, are we supposed to hate on them for that? If you don’t like their ministry, don’t watch them on TV and don’t support them financially. It is that simple.
As believers, we should spend more time focusing on taking down the enemy instead of “exposing” each other. If any of us wants to make significant progress for the kingdom of God, there are much bigger fish to fry than Joel Osteen.
If you want to make a video, make a video that speaks against the dangers of idolatry, porn addiction or alcoholism. Leave God’s people alone. If you think something shady is going on in their ministries, pray for them and go on about your business.
Please take my advice, use your time and effort confronting things that are clearly against the will of God.
What are your thoughts about this? When we speak against ministers of the Gospel are we dividing our house?
