Okay, but I think a 'Thus saith the Lord' from Scripture will go a lot further. Most of the people he is challenging are scripturally challenged.
Is this for real

As soon as I looked at the picture before even opening the video I said to my self this guy is probably a word of faith preacher. I then found this link. https://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomeP...-entry-in-Rolls-Royce-with-long-convoy-597545 I find it ironic that Jesus rode into town on an "ass/donkey" and this guy comes into town surrounded by horses in a Rolls Royce. So you tell me which one is from the devil?
IN GOD THE SON,
bluto
So you believe he is the agent of the devil because he is rich.
You mean love? If there is love than from the Lord, if not than from the devil.
So you believe this pastor is from the devil because he perform miracle?
It mean you believe miracle always come from the devil?
Honestly I do not know for sure if this from God or devil. The Bible teach us to see the fruit, but we live thausand mile from him, not easy to watch the fruit.
I do not know enough about this pastor, but from what others are saying it would appear that way.
Miracles do not always come from the devil, but a lot of what is shown today may be in fact counterfeit miracles. For example, being "slain in the Spirit" has no biblical basis, but it is happening all the time.
What we need to stress is the power of the Gospel in bringing souls to salvation.
So miracle do not always from the devil. It mean miracle not determined whether this pastor work for God or devil, am I correct?
One has to thoroughly investigate any ministry before it can be properly judged. Frankly, I do not pay attention to these preachers. But if you have concerns you should check this one out thoroughly. If this guy is riding around in a Rolls-Royce while many of his countrymen are barely surviving, that should be a red flag.
"However, it is their penchant for a luxurious lifestyle that has likely caught many people's attention. The young pastor who is said to be worth about 1 billion dollars has a lot of luxurious items to his name. Pastor Lukau's social media pages are full of pictures of his private jet and luxury cars, including a Rolls-Royce." Read more:

In other word, is he work for God or devil determined by whether he rich or poor, am I correct?
LOl this is the black Peter Popoff. Don't know who he is? Google it. He basically was fed information about people in the audience in attendence from his wife backstage who looked at prayer cards or gathered information about them before the service. It's all fake.
So you do not believe God able to give such information for this man, am I correct?
Or you believe God have ability to supply such information but He is not interested in doing so.
Am I correct?
No Paul was live in a simple life and not interested in earthly wealth.
Is that mean if a miracle perform by rich man, mean not from the Lord?
I'm reminded of the rich young ruler.
Remember the rich young ruler? He valued wealth over God. It is not how much we have, but rather who or what is most important to us. We can be robbed of money and earthly goods rust, rot and get destroyed in hurricanes, but God is eternal.
i can't determine that by what kind of car he drives and fact that he has a jet. i don't believe the Bible teaches us every rich man is corrupt or came to riches through evil. it doesn't teach that every man God approves is rich either. having wealth isn't sin just by itself, and blessing from God isn't always in the form of earthly wealth tho it may be.
if i listen to his sermons maybe i will know whether what he says is true or false. i am sorry i have not had time to do so.
the verses i mentioned previously are here:
Deuteronomy 13:1-5 --- if a prophet performs real miracles but leads us to a different God, he is false
Deuteronomy 18:21-22 --- if a prophet says 'this will be' and it isn't, he is not speaking by God
as for if he preaches a false gospel, we have the scripture and we compare what he says. and then if it is not right, we don't know if he is a liar or whether he has no understanding just because we know he is not telling us the same gospel, but we know we should not listen.
like you said he is a half a world away from me, what can i say? i can listen to some of his teaching when i have time. maybe most important point of the thread is 'how do i know?' because the same things apply to teachers who are near as those who are far.
my impression of Jackson is that he knows and believes the gospel, and he often asks questions that make us think, and questions that point out flaws in logic and arguments.
i think this is better many times than trying to type out a sermon to tell people what they should think. when we come to a conclusion in our own mind, we are more ready to believe 'this is how it is' than if someone just tells us 'this is how it is'
So you believe the miracle this pastor do may from the Lord, may not. The fact he is rich do not mean he work for the devil. Am I correct?
God uses everyone, whether rich or poor, he even used Judas. A persons wealth has little to do with it, what matters is a persons heart. God looks on the heart, but we cannot do that. Neither do I believe we should judge others, that is for God.
All I would say, is that if this man sends out begging letters, tells people to donate money to him, and constantly appeals for money, then I would be very wary. A true man of God does it out of love for others and the master.
Jesus is our example. Did he live the high life? No, he did not.
