Will we be better than the apostles or that all these believers who die everyday because of the name of Christ? "Blessed are you because you are persecuted for my name and I do all kinds of evil. Rejoice greatly for great is your treasure in heaven." (Matthew 5:11-12) These days there are many "anointed" as fans of them, like Cash moon, Guillermo Maldonado, Dante Gebel, Ana Mendez, Jonas Jonzalez, Ana Maldonado ect who claim to be apostles, prophets and do not want to preach in such places as Nigeria, asia, iran ect, are merchants of the Gospel ..
