I Hate Nicolaitanism

Perhaps you’re inside Nicolaitanism and have no idea that you are in a religious system that God hates and fights against. Or maybe you’re one of the over 40 million born again believers who have fled Nicolaitanism but don’t know what God has for you in terms of an extended spiritual family.


The Greek word nicolaitane [NIK-oh-lay-it-TAH-nay] means “conquering the people.” The first part of the word refers to nikos, to conquer or have victory over. 

The middle of the word is derived from laos, which means “the people”. The commonly used term “laity” is derived from it.

The Nicolaitan clergy system subjugates the people by making “laity” out of them through raising up others who act as intermediaries between God and them.

We hope this five-part article will be an encouraging confirmation to those who have fled a system which has aroused God’s ire, and a warning to those still in it to leave so that you can be fully available for His use.
