Wolves in Shepherds’ Clothing
(The Effrontery of Antichrists)

Here’s what the Gentleman in the Molue said:
“Donald Trump is a vile creature, no doubt — a pox on all his gaudy mansions...
But Nigeria invites disrespect and ridicule.”
And here is what Timotheus replied — with a gentler heart:
Before speaking about Donald Trump, allow me first to speak, respectfully, to our social commentators on this palaver — especially Dele F.
Dele, many admire your passion for Nigeria. You have spoken courageously for years. But of late, your words feel familiar — almost predictable. They stir emotion, yes, but offer little light. Little that helps us grow.
“Don’t let Nigeria happen to you”?
My brother, whether we like it or not, Nigeria is already happening to every one of us.
We appear on television, we analyse, we lament.
It brings applause. It earns respect.
And sadly, for many, that applause becomes the reward — and the work ends there.
People cheer because we speak.
But speaking is not the same as DOING...
The real question — the one we avoid — is this:
What are we going to do about it?
Somehow, we have embraced the belief that Nigeria failed simply because those before us lacked understanding — as if clarity alone brings transformation.
This age of information has produced many sincere Nigerians who truly believe that identifying Nigeria’s problems is the great achievement.
Recognise the problem.
Talk about it.
Mention Singapore…
And suddenly, one is seen as a visionary.
My beloved brother Dele, I say this with kindness:
be careful not to fall into that cycle.
Those who remain there often struggle to find the path out.
If in doubt, ask Pat U.
Ask Peter O.
Ask the father of them all — Rev. Father Hussein
Now — to Trump.
Yes, Trump is vile.
Truth and Trump are rarely found in the same sentence.
But let us be honest with ourselves:
there is no Christian genocide in Nigeria.
Genocide? Yes — but not the one they tell you about.
There is a genocide fuelled by a government so wicked, so blind, it no longer sees the poverty and suffering of its own people.
A genocide enabled by lying churches and their owners — men who steal from God and from men in equal measure.
A genocide born of thoughtlessness and gullibility.
A genocide executed by violent militias who claim Islam, yet kill without conscience or creed.
Are they especially angered by church buildings and churchgoers?
Yes.
But the solution is not for us to “accept” that a Christian genocide is happening — nor for the government to “admit” it.
Christians will be targeted.
Every generation of Christians will be tested.
Every believer knows this. Every generation has been taught to expect it.
It comes with the territory.
Perhaps it is the poison of the prosperity gospel — that false promise of a Cross-less Christianity — that makes us react exactly like heathens, whose gods also promise comfort without sacrifice.
Returning to the true Gospel of Christ — the Gospel that transforms the heart — may yet save us.
It will also transform the way we see these crises.
Mature Christians see persecution as an opportunity:
to let their light shine before those who hate them —
until hate is transformed into love.
Every generation of Christians will be tested — even the false ones too.
Like the seven sons of Sceva — exposed and disgraced by demons precisely because they were counterfeit.
So the real issue is this:
How do we respond?
How should true Christians react?
By shouting?
By threatening?
By promising fire and brimstone — like heathens do?
Or by teaching our persecutors through our faithfulness,
our kindness,
our blessedness —
our willingness to reach out and make peace, either directly or through emissaries?
What is wrong with showing charity to those who persecute us?
People of God, please listen.
I am weary of repeating the same truth.
Our refusal to behave as Christians has created a new and dangerous problem for the Body of Christ:
the effrontery of antichrists installing themselves as “defenders of Christianity.”
It only portends more doom for the faith.
These are troubling times —
and they will grow darker still if those who carry the light refuse to shine.
Decades of false theology have raised “Christians” who, in their confusion, now welcome the very forces that will devour them —
the tragic irony of a people aiding their own destruction.
When a generation is raised on false teaching — like the prosperity gospel —
they no longer recognise the Shepherd’s voice.
So every stranger, every wolf, begins to sound like a saviour…
and is hailed as a deliverer.
So?
Since the wolves have taken over the pulpit,
the flock must rise early and set out in search of the Good Shepherd.
And when they hear His voice — they will know.
For as Scripture says:
“I am the Good Shepherd. I know My sheep, and My sheep know Me.” — John 10:14
Jesus is the Good Shepherd.
He knows His sheep…
and His sheep know Him.
— Don Kenobi
