I see the same things and have concerned myself much about it before, but some time ago God reminded me of what Jesus said here:
"Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled." Matt 5:6
If someone is really properly hungry and thirsty God is the one who will fill them whether it is direct or through you or me or through some talking donkey. As Apostle Paul wrote: God gives the increase. When God determines that an increase is due, what man through his ignorance or foolishness is able to stop it?
Jesus said to Peter and also to us: "...Feed my lambs... Feed my sheep... Feed my sheep" [John 21:15-17]
"I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase." I Cor 3:6-7
There are many lazy people going to churches regularly sitting in the pews and they can misdirect people as can preachers without the anointing of God, but will that stop the promise that Jesus made in Matt 5:6?
Yes. We are responsible for giving the truth in love. God is responsible for the results.
