Pastor DeLono Straham Mother Killed in Church Shooting: Tragedies In The Age Of Celebrity Pastors and Mega Ministries Should Wake Up The Body Of Christ


If you are a regular reader of our head blog, AToast2Wealth.com, you will recall previous stories we have done, regarding pastors and their families murdered in all sorts of ways and there have been a series of incidents since the early 90's, possibly even before that time.   You may wonder why God would allow such things to occur within the body of Christ, but the truth is, these cases have nothing to do with God, but He possibly allows it to get the attention of pastors and their followers.   We would never insinuate that Pastor DeLono Straham's life is the reason for his mother being murder nor would we ever place the blame on her.   However, we do feel the church as a whole could be responsible for such tragedies taking place, especially in this age of mega ministries.  There is too much carnality allowed within not only the black church, but among  some clergy of mega ministries and the operation of their corporate church.  After the death of the late Dr. Zachery Tims', you would think many pastors would be afraid to allow hypocrisy within their ministries, but they proceed to allow their church followers to behave just like the world, which is completely unholy and unrighteous in the eyes of God.   God told us in His Word to be different in I Peter 1:16, 'Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.'   Then the Bible says this in I John 2:15, 'Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.' Because many pastors are focused on being among the celebrity elite, they have ignored those two above scriptures and refused to change.


God no longer wants celebrities in the pulpit, he wants messengers for His Son, Jesus Christ.   Nowadays, because some pastors are enjoying their fame, fortune and celebrity status, so their church can grow into a mega ministry, they do not have enough power avoid demon spirits even when they come on their property to kill.   The man or woman of God should be so anointed demons would be afraid to act up and take the lives of God's people.  However, we are living in a day and age where pastors are making mockery of holiness and have no fear of God or how they preach His Word.  Many of them have an "anything goes" mentality when it comes to preaching God's Word to attract a mass of followers that become their fans.   For over the past 20 years, too many of them have preached sermons of their own and not allowed Jesus Christ to speak through them.   As false prophets, they have swindled to gain wealth from God's Word and God has been trying to get their attention for a long time, but they refuse to listen.  They have allowed men and women to enter God's House like harlots and thugs, when they should be mature enough to preach after they come to Jesus Christ, they not only ought to look holy, but act holy.   Those two scriptures we mentioned in our introduction are very important, just like the scriptures that oppose homosexuality.  When pastors ignore those two scriptures about being holy and different from the world, they do not realize they are just as bad as the gay affirming ministers.  When the body of Christ refuses righteousness and to mingle with wicked children of the Devil as celebrities and not uphold their integrity as true messengers of Jesus Christ, they offend God.   When you visit our videos page (at 40:45), you will hear Bishop Earthquake Kelley mention God's anger and how He cries about what is not only going on in the world, but specifically in the church.   All of this carnality among mega ministries and within church as a whole offends God and He told Bishop Kelley it is time for ministers to repent.   Bishop Earthquake Kelley mentioned God told him, if ministers do not change they would drop dead in their pulpits, because God gave them warning, after warning and they refuse to listen.  God told Bishop Kelley, they seek money and fame and He is not pleased.  Now, if God forewarned him about ministers dropping dead in their pulpits, then anything else tragic is bound occur. Therefore, this shooting which occurred and took the life of this pastor's mother is not an accident and does not surprise us.  God cannot protect the body of Christ unless they change their ways and began to take heed to His Word.   

It is very sad that Pastor DeLono Straham's mother dying in front of his church could have been used to wake up the many of the elite of celebrity pastors, mega ministries and the entire body of Christ, but because of their alleged rebellion this innocent woman may have lost her life and her son who is possibly a good man of God is now mourning over her death.  May Josephine Echols, Pastor De Lono Straham's mother rest in peace and may God strengthen her son's ministry, after this tragedy.
