🚨 “I See These 5 False Teachings Coming—And I Have to Warn the African Church”


“I’ve seen pastors weep when they realize the Bible they are

Truth was under attack — but we fought back.

preaching from has been altered.” —That’s what I told Pastor Godfrey Gichuki when I sat down on Elevate TV Kenya’s The GG Report last Friday. And let me tell you, what happened next was explosive.



🔥 What I Revealed on Live TV (And Why It Matters to YOU)


1. “Hyper-Grace”: The Lie That Lets People Sin Without Consequence


“Grace covers everything—so I can do whatever I want!” That’s what I’m hearing from pastors in Kenya, Uganda, even the U.S. This has to be stopped in its tracks.

  • The Problem: This twisted teaching (called “hyper-grace”) spreading fast in Pentecostal circles.

  • The Truth I Shared: Romans 6:1-2—“Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? By no means!“

  • My Warning: “This is exactly what Paul fought in Romans 6. It’s not new—it’s an ancient heresy repackaged.”


A Kenyan pastor told me: “I almost left my wife because of this teaching. Your words saved my marriage.”

2. “New Universalism”: The Deception That Everyone Goes to Heaven


“God loves everyone—so no one goes to hell!” I looked straight into the camera and said:


“This is not the Jesus of the Bible.”

  • The Problem: This false teaching claims the Holy Spirit works in all religions, so everyone is saved.

  • The Truth I Preached: John 14:6—“I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.“

  • The Shocking Stat: 86% of young Christians believe “all good people go to heaven” (Barna Group).


Why This Matters: “If we don’t stand firm now, this lie will destroy churches in Africa,” I told the audience.

3. The Passion Translation: “Jesus Gave Me Secrets”


“The Bible is boring—so I’ll rewrite it with flair!” I didn’t hold back: “This is neo-Gnosticism—the same heresy the early church fought.”

  • The Problem: The Passion Translation adds words not in the original text, claiming “Jesus gave me secrets.”

  • The Truth I Declared: Revelation 22:18—“If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues...”

  • My Challenge to Viewers: “Ask: ‘Which Jesus?’ The Jesus of Scripture—or a sensationalized version?”

4. “Liberation Theology”: Turning Jesus Into a Political Revolutionary


“Jesus came to overthrow governments, not save souls!” I warned: “This is Marxism in church clothes—and it’s spreading fast.”

  • The Problem: Some teach Jesus’ mission was social liberation, not spiritual salvation.

  • The Truth I Taught: Luke 4:18—Jesus did preach liberation—but from sin, not just poverty.


A Pastor’s Confession: “I was preaching politics instead of the cross. Your teaching changed everything.”

5. Critical Biblical Scholarship: When Scholars Play God


“We can’t trust the Bible—let’s decide what’s true.” I exposed this trend: “This started in the Enlightenment—and now it’s in your church.”

  • The Problem: Scholars question Scripture’s authority, making themselves the final judge.

  • The Truth I Defended: 2 Timothy 3:16—“All Scripture is God-breathed and useful for teaching...”


My Final Plea: “Test every teaching by Scripture—or you will be deceived.”

🎤 Why I Spoke Up (And Why You Should Listen)


“These trends start in the West—then hit Africa like a tsunami,” I told the audience. “But truth wins when pastors are equipped.”


What YOU Can Do:

  • 📺 WATCH THE EPISODE here.

  • 🔄 SHARE THIS POST—warn your church.

  • 🙏 PRAY for pastors fighting these lies daily.

💬 P.S. Have You Heard These Lies in YOUR Church?


I receive messages from pastors who say: “We didn’t know these trends were coming—thank you for warning us!“


Hit reply and tell me: Have you encountered hyper-grace, universalism, or false translations in your church?


“The truth will set you free—but first, it might make you uncomfortable.” —That’s what I told the audience. And it’s still true.
