I’m Dr. Charles Apoki, and today I want to address an important issue using Bobrisky as an example. Recently, I listened to a purported audio conversation featuring Bobrisky, and it left me feeling very sorry for him. Life, especially one built on fake images, often leads people into trusting the wrong crowd. When you’re always seeking validation and authenticity from others, it becomes easy for those close to you to betray your trust.
In the leaked audio, Bobrisky was speaking in confidence, trusting the other party, but was met with betrayal. The person remained silent while Bobrisky revealed sensitive information, believing he was speaking to a friend. Unfortunately, this friend later exposed everything, showing how dangerous it can be to confide in the wrong people.
I’ve had a similar experience where I trusted someone close to me. He used personal information I had shared against me, broadcasting it to others when our interests clashed. Thankfully, nothing incriminating was shared, but it taught me a bitter lesson: not everyone who smiles at you is your friend.
This situation with Bobrisky highlights a larger problem—how people in today’s world, including in religious circles, manipulate personal information for selfish gain. When personal ambitions clash with the goals of an organization or leader, people may resort to leaking videos, audios, or other private information to demystify and discredit their leaders.
We live in a dangerous time, where people around you might not be who they seem. They might record conversations, store incriminating evidence, and wait for the perfect moment to destroy you. Even in churches and denominations, enemies might be lurking within the congregation.
The time has passed when people were naive, thinking that followers or members are automatically loyal friends. Today, many people wish to see you fall. They want to bring you down to their level because your success makes them uncomfortable. Be cautious with what you say and do, even around those who appear close to you.
I truly feel sorry for Bobrisky, but he is not alone. Many of us face similar challenges in different forms. Trust no one blindly—be mindful of the company you keep and the information you share.
