Episode description

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.

Hey, I'm bad with something for you. Oh yeah, you to think about. I know some of you gonna be offended, but hey, that's you. I have nothing to do with it. Titles have become your idols. Now you know I'm telling the truth about it. Titles have become of your idols. And for you who call yourself Christians, you know you're not supposed to have no idols, but many of you have made these titles. That's your God, you worship your title. Oh yeah, it's true.

Some people will get totally offended if you don't call them by that title. Doctor. It's crazy, it's insane, but it is absolutely true, totally offended because you've made that title your idol. You're obsessed with people seeing all these different acronyms beside your name. That's your That's what gives you fuel. It makes your day for people to see these titles behind your name, especially people who are in the ministry. Many of you have honorary degrees, and

you wear those degrees as if you earn them. I think it's shameful. I don't even think there should be such a thing, especially hard as I worked for minds for all of my degrees. If they're handing people honorary degrees. I think it's shameful. I wouldn't even let anyone give me something like that. If you want to give me an award, that's one thing. But an honorary doctorate, nah, I couldn't accept that because I know I didn't do anything to earn it. Do you know what it takes to get

a doctorate? Do you know how much money you spend to get a doctorate? A lot, a lot. So for people to take that title and act as if they are all of this and that when they didn't earn it at all. No, if it was according to the things that people have done, that should be just an award. This shouldn't be an honorary doctorate or any degree. People are so caught up in titles that they've lost focus,

especially those in the ministry. They've lost focus, they have lost their connection because some people started out with good intentions, but then they realize that it's a business, they realize that they can gain notoriety, they realize it's a money maker, a money maker, and so they lost focus. And now it's about what people call them, doctor, apostle, bishop, prophetess. It's all about the titles. The real is no focus, no true

focused on God because they're too busy making their titles. They're idols. They are so caught up in who they want people to see them as. Yet they're not even living a life, not at all. So many people are absolutely walking straight into the pits of hell because they've made their titles their idols. They are worshiping their titles. People are so caught up in this that they're willing to buy them offline. You buying a title, really really,

but many people are buying them online. I know people you I mean, come on, you can tell that to 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 degree as far as that goes. But people just they really really really it's a sad thing, it really is. You have people who have purchased license for nursing, being m D, medical doctors, I mean all kinds of titles because people think, oh, you have

to be this, you have to be that. Just caught up in it, totally caught up in it. And I think it's a terrible thing because a lot of people want these titles but they can't even walk in the position. They don't know how to handle themselves in the position. There are a lot of people, there are a lot of people who are not even good in the position, but they have to have that title, and they think

that title is what gets them over and through. I'm really, really, really think it's sad because it's a very prevalent thing these days and times. People have made their titles their idols. They're more caught up and oh look at me, I'm this, I'm that, But they're not focused on doing the right thing. You got the title, what you're gonna do with it? Especially in the ministry. You got the title, but you don't have any power. You're not leading people to Christ, you know. But that's

the way of the world. That is the way of the world. People think that's what's most important. You know. Oh yeah, you know. You see it like I see it. We all see it. We all see what's taking place. People have become individuals who idolize those worldly things. And you know what, society treats you different if they think you are a person who have some notoriety, if they see you as a person who have

notoriety, if they know for sure you're a person with notoriety. They'll follow you don't know you think you're really who you say you are, and you so far from it, but they don'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 are fool because individuals show you who they want

you to see, but that's not who they really are. I think mainly I'm making this episode for people who know they have not earned the title. You didn't earn the title, you didn't earn a degree, especially people in

ministry. I'm really really talking about them because more than anyone, because many professed Christ and Jesus didn't walk around saying I'm this, I'm that, and I mean, he was the worker of miracles, he was the everything, but he didn't walk around with his chest poked out saying I'm this, I'm that. He just did what he did. But for people, that's what they're caught up in, wanting others to see who they are, what titles

they hold, how big their houses is, the car they're driving. Because people are caught up in things like that, it means a lot to some individuals It make people feel good about themselves to know that people are looking at them because they carry a certain title, or they are in a certain position or have certain status. It makes them stick their chests out. Some people even become pompous because society put them up on pedestals, So people, you

know, walking around pompous, full of ego. It's nuts. Especially when I sometimes see a bunch of people in ministry the way they carry themselves, I just I almost laugh. Sometimes it's because it's comical, it really is, because you don't That's not how Jesus represented himself to people or presented himself. You know, it's just sad and unnecessary really, because that title is not going to get you any further than where you are now. Especially for

people who are professing Christ. That title is not going to get you anywhere because God already know is fake. And then for those who have true degrees, it don't matter. God is not looking at your degree at all. He don't care if you got five doctorates. They don't care. They're not gonna get you into heaven or keep you out of hell. That's just how it is. But unfortunately, as I said, because of people in their mindsets. This is the way of the world. It really is. It

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 of them and all of them got the same title. But they think that's it, you know, because for people that are in ministry, they love having that form, like the Bible say, they love love, love, love, love love having that form of godliness, but denying its power, pretending to belong to Jesus when they really belong to the adversary, the devil.

It's awful. It's awful, awful, awful because it is only showing who you really are when you're so caught up in titles and positions and things of that nature. It shows who you really are. It shows who your character is. It really does. It shows who and what you are about. It truly, truly does. When I meet people who carry themselves like that, I just kind of chuckled to myself because instantly I know what you're about. I know, But you know, you can only let people be

who they are. That's all that is what makes a person happy. So be it, So be it. If you are an individual who is so impressed with people with titles. So be it, so be it. But all I can tell you is there's something wrong with them and you. But that comes from inside internally. Most people haven't dealt with who they really are because they're too busy faking and pretending to be something they are not, so

called up in the worldly ways and the worldly things. Your title, your possessions, your money, none of it, none of it, your degrees, none of it means anything to God. He already told us, do not store your treasures up here on earth, as old as that. But people still making it matter, They're still making it matter to them. And it's those who call themselves children of God or saints of God that irritates me the most because you're speaking it from your 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 about it. If you have read the Bible at all, you know you're don't supposed to idolize anything, nothing or no one. When you do, you have to go back, go back and get what you really need in order to start on this journey with the Lord.

And if you don't choose Jesus, you need to go back and allow yourself to heal from whatever is to have you in the mindset that you're in thinking that woo woo woo, the world is your oyster because of your titles, positions, money, and blah blah blah. You need to look inwards because you have some unresolved there that have you in that mindset feeling you must do this. You must do that in order to be recognized or validated or

whatever it is. And again this is not to poke at anybody in particular. I just hope you understand what I'm saying. That's all. I just hope you understand what I'm saying and get something out of it. But that's all I'm gonna say. I'm gonna leave it right there, not another word on it. Thank you for listening. Much love to each and every one of you. You know I appreciate you coming.
