Africa's Worship of
Benny Hinn the "Little Messiah"
By Kato Mivule
May7, 2007
Matthew
24:23-24
(23) Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ,
or there; believe it not.
(24) For there shall arise false Christs, and false
prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch
that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very
elect.
Jude
1:3-4
(3) Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of
the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto
you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the
faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
(4) For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were
before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men,
turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and
denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
Benny Hinn who is
slated to make his debut in Uganda in the next few days this
month of May 2007 has totally unveiled the naivety, ignorance
and for those ‘who should know better’, self imposed blindness
as they continue to prepare a Red Carpet welcome for one of the
most subtly and overtly blasphemous false prophets out there.
The reasons for
such blindness and lack of bible based critical analysis of
Benny Hinn Ministries and Teachings by Ugandan Pastors and
Christian Leaders is because they have chosen not to study God’s
Holy Word and critic every doctrine using God’s Word.
Many have signed
up on the list to welcome a false prophet in Uganda simply
because they believe that rubbing shoulders with this supposedly
‘Man of God’ would usher in blessings upon their lives. It is
purely for economical reasons that Ugandan Pastors are compelled
to associate themselves with International False Teachers such
as Benny Hinn, Creflo Dollar and other Bible Phonies out there.
Benny Hinn’s 'solemn and saintly'
Posters around Kampala – such posters create illusions in which people
associate The Holy Spirit with Benny Hinn...
As one missionary
in who came to Africa put it that the Church in Uganda is three
miles wide and 2 inches deep. The reason is that the Pastors
will do anything to attain wealth and money. All preaching on
pulpits especially in the urban centers of Kampala, Entebbe,
Mukono, Jinja, Uganda’s major urban towns, etc is centered on
how one will acquire more money and make it big and great in
this world.
So, regardless of what they hear about Benny Hinn
and his controversial ministry, these Pastors believe that they
will get some type of anointing that will” open doors” for them
to succeed just like Benny Hinn has done.
I endeavor to
understand these Pastors in Uganda and Africa at large. Yes,
there is a lot of poverty and every one is struggling to make it
in life. Folks struggle to survive at just 1 US Dollar a day and
under tight African economic policies that only favor the
“Investors” while neglecting the natives. Diseases, Poverty,
Ignorance, War, are a plight in Africa, yes that is
understandable.
However, for Christians, we are called to endure
and not to accept false doctrines and false prophets so we can
get “healed”, “Blessed” and escape our African plight
temporarily. Poverty is not an excuse for false doctrines. Those
who believe so are only entertaining illusions and seeing a true
mirage in the desert. They are engaged in African Christian
Escapism…the process of inviting “well to do” pompous TBN
Western Televangelists to come and make promises of “healings”,
“Blessings” and “Riches” to poor Africans...
The National Stadium has become a
symbol of showing power and influence by Ugandan and Western
Evangelical Preacher in Africa. Those who are able to fill the
stadium to capacity are ‘considered’ real “Men of God”…
...it
soothes ones heart for a while and after that, the African
Plight is still intact and in place while the Western Preacher
returns home to the USA in his Gulf Stream Jet to continue
living a posh life, raising more money and earning an allowance
of 10 Million US Dollars a year. This is what they call they
Rape of the African Church by Western Preachers. Africans tend
to be independent minded and will be put off by colonial
and imperialistic approaches but I wonder with bewilderment why
Ugandan and African Pastors don’t see the exploitation done by
Western TBN Pimps purporting to be preachers.
The African Man is
still bound by religious colonialism and imperialism even though
the very Bible he holds has the Truth to set him free, for whom
The Son sets free is free indeed, and you shall know the Truth
and the Truth will set you free. Ironically while armed with
that power of Truth in God’s Holy Word, the Ugandan pastors are
still succumbing to the exploitations of such preachers like
Benny Hinn and Creflo Dollar who only come to Africa to get more
sympathy back home in the US and as such get more donations…and
as such live a more luxurious life, while calling themselves
little messiahs…
Benny Hinn organizers have booked
world class Hotels such as the Sheraton, Serena Hotels among
other five star country clubs only the top rich and elite can
afford… Benny Hinn’s coming has corporate interests attached to
it…they make
money… It’s a money making event…
Africans awake
form your slumber and foolishness; don’t be slaves to Christian
religious imperialism and manipulations… Let Truth in God’s Holy
Word set you free… There is a saying that there is no hurry in
Africa but I wonder why the hurry by Ugandan pastors in
endorsing a false prophet and liar like Benny Hinn?
The “Church Committee” is made up
of the top brass preachers and including powerful government
officials and Telecom executives…
-
-Pastor Gary Skinner – Kampala
Pentecostal Church…pastors a church of about 7000 plus, he hails
from Canada, working as a ‘Missionary’ in Uganda…
-
-Pastor Robert Kayanja – Miracle
Center Cathedral…pastors a 10,000 church, said to be the main
Benny Hinn Host…
-
-Hon. Tim Lwanga – Former Member
of Parliament and Cabinet Minister…
-
-Mr. Hans Paulsen – CEO of Uganda
Telecom…
-
-Mrs. Allen Kagina – Commissioner
General of Uganda Revenue Authority, URA- Uganda’s equivalent of
the US IRS…
-
-These are some of the movers and
shakers in Uganda’s Elite social class. Benny Hinn’s visit to
Uganda is more powerful than many State visits from other
African heads of state…
Benny Hinn, Creflo
Dollar and other TBN pimps only come to Africa to deal with
symptoms and not the real heart issues. African Christian
Leaders accept False Prophets and False Doctrines from the west
not because they might not know the Truth but because it is a
temporal fix to the African economic plight. Benny Hinn is
therefore seen as a Messiah, the very thing which Benny Hinn
loves and cherishes to be called as he has done in a number of
his meetings, calling himself a little messiah…
"When you say, 'I am a
Christian, you are saying, 'I am mashiach' in the Hebrew. I am a
little messiah walking on earth, in other words That is a
shocking revelation.... May I say it like this? You are a little
god on earth running around." (Benny Hinn Praise-a-thon TBN
November 6, 1990)..."Christians are "Little Messiah's and
"little gods" on the earth. Thus [Encouraging the
audience]...say "I am a God-man....This spirit-man within me is
a God-man..." say "I'm born of heaven-a God-man. I'm a God man.
I am a sample of Jesus. I'm a super being. Say it! Say it! Who's
a super being? "I walk in the realm of the supernatural." Say
it!...You want to prosper? Money will be falling on you from
left, right and centre. God will begin to prosper you, for money
always follows righteousness....Say after me, "everything I ever
want is in me already." (Benny Hinn, TBN, 1990)..."If you
say, I am, your saying you're a part of him, right? Is he God?
Are you his offspring? Are you his children? Then you're not
human!" (Benny Hinn, Our position in Christ, #2 1990, audio
side 2)..."Let's say, I am a God man.' This spirit man
within me is a God-Man. I'm a God-Man." (Benny Hinn Praise
the Lord, TBN, December 6, 1990)..."When you were born again
the Word was made flesh in you You are everything He was and
everything He is and ever He shall be .... Don't say,' I have.'
Say, ' I am, I am, I am, I am, I am." (Benny Hinn, "Our
Position in Christ #2-The Word Made Flesh" 1991, audiotape
#A031190-2, side 2.)
The Truth is that
Benny Hinn exploits the African Plight so as to gain more
influence way back home. He would like to be seen as the little
messiah who takes the gospel to poor Africans, he would like to
be seen as one who champions the African cause by promising
people “healings” and “prosperity”, messages Africans love and
cherish to hear, to tickle their ears whole temporarily soothing
the pain of the African Plight… Jesus Christ seems to delay in
responding to the African Plight, His word seems not to work,
therefore a little messiah will do the job, at least tickle
someone’s ear.
Benny Hinn’s Coordination team
involves a Security team to make sure the “Man of God” is
“Protected” and of course this Man of God is an ‘asset’ to the
corporate elites… Benny Hinn travels with his own world class
security detail and has already dispatched his advance team to
Uganda…
The African Church
is being led to believe that Western Preachers will save them.
The African Church with the Bible (The Truth that sets Free) in
her hands still is not set free from Christian exploitations and
bondage of Christian religious imperialism from such ravenous
wolves like Benny Hinn and Creflo Dollar simply because of self
imposed inanity among the Christian Leaders who love to worship
Man and need to see a physical messiah to believe. In such
circumstances Benny Hinn is approved as a little messiah.
Pastor Gary Skinner.
"The atmosphere over the city of
Kampala will be uniquely charged with the dynamic presence of
Jesus when Benny Hinn visits Kampala in May of this year. Benny
is being used in an awesome way all around the world to honour
and lift up Jesus. Each of the miracle meetings will be soul
stirring, life changing moments as thousands of Ugandans are
healed, transformed, delivered and transformed forever. Kampala,
get ready, God is going to do something extraordinary right here
in our city."
It is amazing how
Pastor Gary Skinner, a Missionary from Canada endorses the
teachings of Benny Hinn and goes to length of stating that “The
atmosphere over the City of Kampala will be uniquely charged by
the dynamic presence of Jesus when Benny Hinn visits…” This is
nothing less than the worship of Man, dominion theology, and
blasphemy…in other words, this missionary is telling us that
Jesus Christ comes with the visit of Benny Hinn and has not been
all around this time “electrifying” the atmosphere of Kampala…
These are lies and deceit and Gary Skinner who should know
better should repent and turn around and help African Pastors
Discern right from wrong using God’s Word…
Pastor Godfrey Kamese
“Pastor Benny Hinn is one of the
best choice servants of God that I highly treasure and esteem. I
personally have been motivated by his ministry as early as 1990
when I first landed on his ministry materials. It impacted me so
much that my entire perspective of the anointing was changed
entirely and I was blessed to be his partner in the year 1997
where I had the opportunity to attend a partners meeting at the
New York Hilton, it was phenomenal.
I could say countless testimonies
about Pastor Benny but the most important thing is Uganda is
desperate for a Benny Hinn Crusade! We are excited to hear he is
coming. We are praying and fasting and are committed to do
everything for the success of his ministry in Kampala. He is
God’s battle axe and Uganda needs him!
Truly the season is now. God Bless
you".

Pastor Godfrey
Kamese continues with blasphemy and worship of man that Gary
Skinner and Kampala Pastors are involved in… This guy utters
blasphemy on a Benny Hinn advert that his church sponsors airing
on local TV in which he associates the Holy Spirit with Benny
Hinn visiting Uganda… The picture portrayed in people’s minds is
that when Benny Hinn comes, then The Holy Spirit will ‘visit’
Uganda…
He is not ashamed
to state that what Uganda needs is a “Benny Hinn Crusade”. In
other words, Ugandans don’t need Jesus Christ and the message of
The Cross but they need Benny Hinn…Benny Hinn is the answer to
Uganda’s needs… This is the worship of Man and since Benny Hinn
calls himself “the little messiah”, this must be the worship of
the “little messiah” or the worship of the antichrist! This is
nothing short of spiritual adultery…it is pornographic, obscene
and evil…
Pastor Jackson Senyonga
“Benny Hinn comes to us at very
strategic time for our country. We are living in a day in which
Uganda is harvestable. The spiritual climate is full of
extravagant expectations and our people have never been so ready
to reconcile with their maker as they are at this time. Days of
dictatorships like Idi Amin and others gave an opportunity to
spiritual darkness to devour this country and pushed it into a
spiritual comma. Since that time pain, disease and demons have
been rampant. But in this season we see the curve of revival
almost at the peak. Benny Hinn’s crusade has never been so
timely to bring a national healing and God’s wave of glory to
fumigate this nation with life abundant. I’m so excited for
Benny Hinn’s crusade in Uganda, and I highly endorse that.”
Pastor Jackson
Ssenyonga continues with false teachings of dominion theology
here. Those who recall, he is the guy who was featured in
George Otis'
Transformations II Video - The Glory Spreads… He is not afraid to tell Christians
that Ugandans are now ready to reconcile with God when Benny
Hinn visits, as if Jesus Christ is not the reconciler… The
deceit being brewed here is that Benny Hinn will be the one to
bring about the reconciliation of Ugandans to God… Brethren,
this is uttermost dangerous…Benny Hinn is being worshiped and
truly a ‘little messiah’, a false Christ and one of the many
antichrists roaming this world falsely using the Name of Jesus
Christ… It is Jesus Christ alone who reconciles us to God and
not Man or visitations of Man...
Darryl Woodson
“It is indeed a great joy and
pleasure to know that Benny Hinn is coming to Uganda. We believe
that after waiting for many years that is this the right time
for Benny Hinn to come and minister to the people of this
nation. We expect great response and are believing for many
salvations and some of the greatest miracles of healing and
power ever witnessed by Benny Hinn and his ministry team. We
look forward for this great event.”

Darryl Woodson,
another Missionary endorses Benny Hinn and too expects a “great
harvest” when Benny Hinn comes…this Darryl has been waiting for
a along time… The implications and meaning are that Darryl’s
missionary work has been useless and fruitless…he simply came to
Uganda to await Benny Hinn for the “great harvest”… Darryl
should know better about Benny Hinn and the false doctrines in
and around Kampala and should repent and turn around and teach
Truth and the Whole Counsel of God’s Word to the sick and dying
church in Kampala…
Pastor Peter Kasirivu
“As a pastor and minister in
Uganda, I cannot get over the joy of hearing that finally Pastor
Benny Hinn is coming to Uganda. For many years we have watched
him on Light House TV and we have longed for his personal visit
to Uganda. The greatness of Pastor Benny's ministry to us is in
the simple approach to the ministry of the Word, his emphasis on
getting people to see Jesus in his crusades, that leads to
thousands getting to a persona relationship with the Lord.
As a nation devastated by the AIDS
scourge I anticipate that many many people will get physical
healing also during this crusade. And finally we believe that
his coming to Uganda will bring a prophetic message to the
leaders of Uganda and the nation as a whole.
Welcome Pastor Benny Hinn.

Pastor Kasirivu
expects the same as the other Pastors and too engages in the
worship of the “little messiah” and endorses Benny Hinn. He too
has been waiting for a long time for this “little messiah” to
appear… He paints the picture that this “little messiah” will
bring Prophetic Message to Uganda… Pastor Kasirivu, awake from
your slumber and foolishness and stop committing spiritual
adultery by worshiping Man… You area a well studied Bible
teacher and should know better…
Pastor Robert Kayanja
“Uganda is blessed in an unusual
way at this time by the visitation of God through His anointed
servants coming to bless our great country; first Dr. Morris
Cerullo and now Pastor Benny Hinn all in the same year. This is
no coincidence, because I believe it’s our time to receive the
blessings and the anointing of God in order to change our land
and to touch the nations with God’s power. The Scripture says:
And it shall come to pass in that
day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder,
and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed
because of the anointing. ISAIAH 10:27
Pastor Benny, I want you to know
that this nation carries great prophecies over it as far
evangelizing the world in these last days is concerned and I
believe that your coming is a divine set-up the turn loose a
great anointing over this nation that will in turn release many
gifts that will be a great blessing to the body of Christ
world-wide. We anticipate a mighty move of God with miracles,
signs, wonders and most of all souls coming to the Lord.
So in a special way I want to
thank you on behalf of my country for being sensitive to the
Holy Ghost for allowing to come to Uganda at this time. I also
want to thank all your partners in a special way for supporting
this great ministry and enabling God’s servant to obey God and
do His bidding. Only eternity knows the rewards that await you.
Uganda awaits you with great
expectation.

There is much I
would say about Robert Kayanja and I have already written about
him. He too engages in Blasphemy and worship of “the little
messiah”… Robert Kayanja is personally responsible for inviting
TBN wolves into Uganda… Pastor Robert Kayanja, repent before it
is too late… The Worship of Man is blasphemy before God, it is
obscene, pornographic, and evil and an abomination…and that is
what Kayanja has done to Uganda by inviting “the little
messiah”…
African Church
Awake from your Slumber…
The African Church
must awake from slumber and reject temporal fixes by earthly
little messiahs. They must shake off the shackles and chains by
Truth in God’s Holy Word. They must test and discern false from
what is right using God’s word as our Holy Standard without
favoritism… Otherwise the little western messiahs like Benny
Hinn continue to earn millions of dollars a year to fly all the
way from the USA aboard a Gulf Stream jet to repeatingly Rape
the African Church…
Matthew
24:5
(5) For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ;
and shall deceive many.
Matthew 24:11
(11) And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive
many.
Matthew 24:23-25
(23) Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ,
or there; believe it not.
(24) For there shall arise false Christs, and false
prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch
that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very
elect.
(25) Behold, I have told you before.
