Da Sound of a crushing Church

Worldly men are busy inventing death. The church is busy hunting mice. All this is Vanity. Our paralysis of preoccupation is chasing da wind.

We want to prove to a fallen generation that seeks a sign that our God is 'cool'.It is a paradox cos in this our paralysed preoccupation is when the world sees our God as pitiful. We have failed in the closet, so we seek status symbols. We turn God's house into a market place in the pursuit of material honour. We seek the same platform to compete with fallen men.

One pitiful prodigal sought to clean the studios of the wicked fire base crew for a record deal. Wat shame! Wat pitifulness. He probably does not know his heritage(my peeps perish for lack of knowledge)

HolyGhost filled men do not need no status symbols. You do not even need to debate with the world about the authenticity of the virgin birth or the resurrection. You do not need to engage the world on any intellectual platform. No! Demonstrate the power of the Holyghost and say, 'If the lord God is God, serve Him!'.

John the Baptist didnt need no miracles to pull crowds (but Miracles will always follow you). He needed holyghost inspired arrogancy. He didnt need no TV AD for his crusades. He just set hisself ablaze and the world came to see him burn, even noble and cultured men. He wasnt even dressed like our celebrity pastor in a million dollar suit.

QN:Where is the mystery of the Gospel?
ANS:It hath been sabotaged by our pitiful preoccupation-'tryin to gain respect from the world!'

If the church's preoccupation in these evil days was God's preoccupation in the days of old Jerus, He wouldnt have sent Jesus thru a manger. He would have probably made room in a five star hotel.

Jesus' earthly father wouldnt have been a carpenter but a Bill Gates or Rupert Murdoch. His mama would have been one of them pitiful models and his cronnies G G G G-Unit! Talk of a humble pedigree and using the weak and foolish things to confound the strong and wise even the wisest of this age. That is the mystery of the Gospel. U see? we do not need no respect from worldlings. One folk broke ma heart on TBN talkin of gaining respect from the world by gaining material superiority. The spirit behind such ambitions is not the spirit of Christ!

On Jesus still. He wouldnt have died on a tree, the sign of ultimate shame. He would have smoked His enemies like Peter tried and get carried in a Chariot of fire and wear a crown of bling instead of thorns.

If Jesus was our contemporary, God would send Him to the finest instittutions of learning like Harvard to gain the wisdom of the world. But God sent Him to a University in the dessert to be tempted of the devil.

Why in the world would God pass by the intellectuals in John the Baptist's time for an uncultured man? John was spirit bred and filled. The intellectuals of his time were bred on the brains of dead men. Had God chosen an intellectual, they probably would have mobilised for funds to organise the baptism of folks. See? Our natural abilities are sometimes our stumbling block. They always pop their heads as a best alternative.

Holyghost filled wo/men do not need no human crutches.

God always offends our minds to reveal the heart. He goes on to choose a click of low bred men to become Jesus' disciples. Men unrecognised and despised that even when they spoke languages they had never learned, the skeptics scorned. But after the infilling of the holyghost, fellow country men were mesmerised seeing as,'these men were unlearned'.

Wat Jesus died to purchase for us, worldly church merchants are tryna trade for peanuts and doughnuts. What Christ purchased for us is priceless. Money cant buy the holyghost or replace the spirit of God for that matter.

One man of old tried to buy Holyghost power and got a curse for that blasphemy.

There are merchants in the church today and they are from the Venice of hell.
The gates of hell prevail today because men are busy filling church pews with empty hearts whose heads get phat on theology but no nothing of Holyghost transforming power. Alas, the world looks at us as pitiful. We substitute agonising for organising, praying for playing and paying. Deacons should be men full of the spirit but we have men slack in prayer filling those sits.

Such men cannot bring in the harvest. The pastor who is not praying is playing and getting paid. Tombs beget tombs and wombs life and moooo life!

What is it that would make a man sell everything or leave the comfort and affluence of his home in search of that treasure?

It is a pity that even men called to the frontline seek the unregenerate as their Joshua and Hur. How can the unregenerate stand on the frontline without the breastplate of righteousness or the shield of faith in a mighty battle for the unregenerate against principalities and the very wickedness in the high place the unregenerate celebrate??

Which regenerate Man of God with a harp needs Chameleon or 50 Cent to soar in the heavenlies?

This is another absurdity that we pursue in church because the light of His glory shines dim against the allure of hollywood lights.

Jesus said that He will build His church and the gates of Hell shall not prevail. The master waits that we pull down the sign posts infront of our churches,'MEN AT WORK' and allow Him to build His Church that will prevail.
