It's sad, but true. Many people are making their desire for a title their idol, even to the point of worshipping it. Some people are lying about them, cheating to get them, and purchasing their titles online. It's crazy how people care more about the title than doing the actul job. People want the prestige, but lack substance. It has become a big show for many. I especially feel sorry for people who claim to be Saints of God, because God doesn't care a thing about your title or a title, period, and as a True Saint, you should know that! Some people never tried to get a a degree, but they happily buy one online or take the honorary, that's given. When it comes to titles, people want the title, but most don't want to put in the real work to get it. Titles, degrees, position, status, etc., won't change what's inside of you and is why people are always chasing superficial and tangible things.

(00:01):
Hey, I'm bad with something foryou. Oh yeah, you to think
about. I know some of yougonna be offended, but hey, that's
you. I have nothing to dowith it. Titles have become your idols.
(00:23):
Now you know I'm telling the truthabout it. Titles have become of
your idols. And for you whocall yourself Christians, you know you're not
supposed to have no idols, butmany of you have made these titles.
(00:46):
That's your God, you worship yourtitle. Oh yeah, it's true.
Some people will get totally offended ifyou don't call them by that title.
(01:08):
Doctor. It's crazy, it's insane, but it is absolutely true, totally
offended because you've made that title youridol. You're obsessed with people seeing all
(01:33):
these different acronyms beside your name.That's your That's what gives you fuel.
It makes your day for people tosee these titles behind your name, especially
(01:53):
people who are in the ministry.Many of you have honorary degrees, and
you wear those degrees as if youearn them. I think it's shameful.
I don't even think there should besuch a thing, especially hard as I
(02:14):
worked for minds for all of mydegrees. If they're handing people honorary degrees.
I think it's shameful. I wouldn'teven let anyone give me something like
that. If you want to giveme an award, that's one thing.
But an honorary doctorate, nah,I couldn't accept that because I know I
(02:38):
didn't do anything to earn it.Do you know what it takes to get
a doctorate? Do you know howmuch money you spend to get a doctorate?
A lot, a lot. Sofor people to take that title and
act as if they are all ofthis and that when they didn't earn it
(03:04):
at all. No, if itwas according to the things that people have
done, that should be just anaward. This shouldn't be an honorary doctorate
or any degree. People are socaught up in titles that they've lost focus,
(03:35):
especially those in the ministry. They'velost focus, they have lost their
connection because some people started out withgood intentions, but then they realize that
it's a business, they realize thatthey can gain notoriety, they realize it's
a money maker, a money maker, and so they lost focus. And
(04:00):
now it's about what people call them, doctor, apostle, bishop, prophetess.
It's all about the titles. Thereal is no focus, no true
(04:23):
focused on God because they're too busymaking their titles. They're idols. They
are so caught up in who theywant people to see them as. Yet
(04:46):
they're not even living a life,not at all. So many people are
absolutely walking straight into the pits ofhell because they've made their titles their idols.
(05:10):
They are worshiping their titles. Peopleare so caught up in this that
they're willing to buy them offline.You buying a title, really really,
(05:33):
but many people are buying them online. I know people you I mean,
come on, you can tell thatto a stranger, but to someone who
know you know, don't gone well, you haven't went to no school to
get a doctorate or any other degreeas far as that goes. But people
(06:00):
just they really really really it's asad thing, it really is. You
have people who have purchased license fornursing, being m D, medical doctors,
(06:32):
I mean all kinds of titles becausepeople think, oh, you have
to be this, you have tobe that. Just caught up in it,
totally caught up in it. AndI think it's a terrible thing because
(06:56):
a lot of people want these titlesbut they can't even walk in the position.
They don't know how to handle themselvesin the position. There are a
lot of people, there are alot of people who are not even good
in the position, but they haveto have that title, and they think
(07:27):
that title is what gets them overand through. I'm really, really,
really think it's sad because it's avery prevalent thing these days and times.
(07:51):
People have made their titles their idols. They're more caught up and oh look
at me, I'm this, I'mthat, But they're not focused on doing
(08:11):
the right thing. You got thetitle, what you're gonna do with it?
Especially in the ministry. You gotthe title, but you don't have
any power. You're not leading peopleto Christ, you know. But that's
(08:37):
the way of the world. Thatis the way of the world. People
think that's what's most important. Youknow. Oh yeah, you know.
You see it like I see it. We all see it. We all
see what's taking place. People havebecome individuals who idolize those worldly things.
(09:13):
And you know what, society treatsyou different if they think you are a
person who have some notoriety, ifthey see you as a person who have
notoriety, if they know for sureyou're a person with notoriety. They'll follow
you don't know you think you're reallywho you say you are, and you
(09:39):
so far from it, but theydon't know it because they're following you because
of your title, your position.All I can do is just really shake
my head because so many people arefool because individuals show you who they want
you to see, but that's notwho they really are. I think mainly
(10:09):
I'm making this episode for people whoknow they have not earned the title.
You didn't earn the title, youdidn't earn a degree, especially people in
ministry. I'm really really talking aboutthem because more than anyone, because many
(10:35):
professed Christ and Jesus didn't walk aroundsaying I'm this, I'm that, and
I mean, he was the workerof miracles, he was the everything,
but he didn't walk around with hischest poked out saying I'm this, I'm
that. He just did what hedid. But for people, that's what
(11:01):
they're caught up in, wanting othersto see who they are, what titles
they hold, how big their housesis, the car they're driving. Because
people are caught up in things likethat, it means a lot to some
individuals It make people feel good aboutthemselves to know that people are looking at
(11:31):
them because they carry a certain title, or they are in a certain position
or have certain status. It makesthem stick their chests out. Some people
even become pompous because society put themup on pedestals, So people, you
(11:54):
know, walking around pompous, fullof ego. It's nuts. Especially when
I sometimes see a bunch of peoplein ministry the way they carry themselves,
(12:15):
I just I almost laugh. Sometimesit's because it's comical, it really is,
because you don't That's not how Jesusrepresented himself to people or presented himself.
(12:37):
You know, it's just sad andunnecessary really, because that title is
not going to get you any furtherthan where you are now. Especially for
people who are professing Christ. Thattitle is not going to get you anywhere
(13:00):
because God already know is fake.And then for those who have true degrees,
it don't matter. God is notlooking at your degree at all.
He don't care if you got fivedoctorates. They don't care. They're not
(13:24):
gonna get you into heaven or keepyou out of hell. That's just how
it is. But unfortunately, asI said, because of people in their
mindsets. This is the way ofthe world. It really is. It
(13:52):
is the way of the world.And everybody, well not everybody, but
many people are jumping on the bandwagon. Many people. You meet a group
(14:13):
of them and all of them gotthe same title. But they think that's
it, you know, because forpeople that are in ministry, they love
having that form, like the Biblesay, they love love, love,
(14:33):
love, love love having that formof godliness, but denying its power,
pretending to belong to Jesus when theyreally belong to the adversary, the devil.
(14:58):
It's awful. It's awful, awful, awful because it is only showing
who you really are when you're socaught up in titles and positions and things
of that nature. It shows whoyou really are. It shows who your
(15:18):
character is. It really does.It shows who and what you are about.
It truly, truly does. WhenI meet people who carry themselves like
that, I just kind of chuckledto myself because instantly I know what you're
(15:43):
about. I know, But youknow, you can only let people be
who they are. That's all thatis what makes a person happy. So
be it, So be it.If you are an individual who is so
(16:07):
impressed with people with titles. Sobe it, so be it. But
all I can tell you is there'ssomething wrong with them and you. But
that comes from inside internally. Mostpeople haven't dealt with who they really are
(16:30):
because they're too busy faking and pretendingto be something they are not, so
called up in the worldly ways andthe worldly things. Your title, your
(16:52):
possessions, your money, none ofit, none of it, your degrees,
none of it means anything to God. He already told us, do
not store your treasures up here onearth, as old as that. But
(17:18):
people still making it matter, They'restill making it matter to them. And
it's those who call themselves children ofGod or saints of God that irritates me
(17:38):
the most because you're speaking it fromyour lips, but your hearts are far
from Him. And that's biblical,that scripture, and it's the truth.
So I want you to think aboutit. If you have read the Bible
at all, you know you're don'tsupposed to idolize anything, nothing or no
(18:03):
one. When you do, youhave to go back, go back and
get what you really need in orderto start on this journey with the Lord.
And if you don't choose Jesus,you need to go back and allow
(18:26):
yourself to heal from whatever is tohave you in the mindset that you're in
thinking that woo woo woo, theworld is your oyster because of your titles,
positions, money, and blah blahblah. You need to look inwards
(18:52):
because you have some unresolved there thathave you in that mindset feeling you must
do this. You must do thatin order to be recognized or validated or
whatever it is. And again thisis not to poke at anybody in particular.
(19:15):
I just hope you understand what I'msaying. That's all. I just
hope you understand what I'm saying andget something out of it. But that's
all I'm gonna say. I'm gonnaleave it right there, not another word
on it. Thank you for listening. Much love to each and every one
