The hits just keep on comin' for Juanita Bynum. Apparently, she may lose her Atlanta home due to unpaid property taxes. Now before I go any further in this article, I am not writing this to make fun of her situation. But one has to wonder how someone who has a worldwide following that would quadruple the population of most small countries, can divorce her husband, leave a megachurch she had with him, and is in the process of starting up another church that will most certainly draw in thousands, cannot (or maybe will not) pay back taxes on her property? Equally, why would Bynum want to solicit funds from her followers to build a new church where she can "intercede on their behalf"(which is something I thought only Christ does--see Romans 8:34), when her top priority should be to pay the government the money she has neglected to give them for well over a year?
I have always had issues with people like her who are led more by voices that verses, and this is why. Knowing a little about her history, this situation is just one we can chalk up to the vast amount of blunders this woman is known for making in her life.
Now in no way am I stating that I personally have it all together. But to consistently act in carnal ways, when you are passing yourself off as a "prophet" of God is ridiculous. But, unfortunately, the sad part is that she probably won't learn anything from this. More than likely, when she finally comments on this issue, she will possibly try to spin some story about she received a "word" from God that will be some ploy to make her look like an innocent lamb in all of this. However, the Bible makes it clear that in addition to giving to God, we are to give to "Caesar what is Caesar's" (Mark 12:17). So Bynum cannot legitimately come up with some "word from God" that will override this clear statement in Scripture. And, let's be real, Juanita Bynum is hardly hurting for money even in the midst of a divorce, so there is no reason for her to allow her situation to get to this level. I pray that those who are devoted to her will finally see that this modern flurry of "prophets", "prophetesses", and "prosperity teachers" can only lead them in carnality--which will only make them like the preachers they follow.
