Bishop Elijah Bernard Jordan

Their are many false prophets in the world and its hard to know which prophets are truly serving God. Some of them prove to be false by their actions. Some make it too obvious but yet they still have loyal members who don't seem to agree. It really makes me wonder if they are truly reading their bibles. Here are some scriptures concerning the subject. Matthew 7:15-16 says: beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves, ye shall know them by their fruits. Jeremiah 14:14 says: then the LORD said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of naught, and the deceit of their heart. Jeremiah 23:32 says: Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the LORD, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them.

I came across a website a few weeks ago. The name of the site is Zoe ministries. The Founders name is Bishop Elijah Bernard Jordan. At first I didn't notice anything wrong with the site but then I started reading more into what was being said. The bishop calls himself "The master prophet" and has a prophetic school called Mar Elijah. He has his own live streaming where he gives teaching lessons and has an on-line chat-room. I didn't go into the room but I overheard the conversations they were having and the so called prophecies that were being told. It didn't sound to me like a prophetic speaking at all. It sounded more of a reading from a horoscope. In the bible when prophecies were given it wasn't towards one individual person but to a nation. The real prophets didn't line people up and say heres what God is saying to you. When the bishop tells his prophecies it reminds me more of a fortune tellers reading. He even advertises ,"Free prophecies are back, click here to get yours". Now doesn't that look like a fortune telling ad?

After I read Zoe ministries site I decided to look up more about bishop Jordan. I came across an article that a man had written about him. In the article he had received an email last year about the number 6/6/6. In the article Jordan had claimed that the number was not an an unholy number but the number of God. He says it is the number of protection and creation. He states," I can show you how to turn the mark of the beast into the mark of increase". Another article in the Times Herald tells of how Jordan built Zoe ministries into a multimedia enterprise in 2001. The ministry was built up on donations given by its members. Some pledging as much as $10,000. The article also states that in 2003 Jordan was living in 3.6 million dollar mansion with 27 rooms. He drove expensive cares such as a rolls Royce, and a Mercedes Benz. He states that to him wealthiness is next to godliness and that he's not taking any vow of poverty. There were pictures on another link showing Jordan's mansion and fleet of cars. Also inside his mansion he had pointed out biblical scenes that he had himself painted in. There were pictures of his children as angels lifting him up. There was one that Jordan pointed out stating it portrayed his birth. He has also been reported to have a portrait of himself painted as pharaoh.

Jordan also has a my-space page where on his layout it is titled "The Master Prophet". He has a song by Zoe Hip Hop called " Money is My Friend". In the song it says that you cannot truly serve God unless you serve God with mammon. He claims that most people don't have wealth because they don't choose to serve the true God. This brings me to the question as to if he is twisting the scriptures. Heres what the bible says concerning money and coveting. Matthew 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. 1 timothy 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. Hebrews 13:5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. Conclusion, Jordan is a false prophet!
