"I will not go to church again, I was told God will change my financial situation if I come, but till now nothing changed, I'm done with church and God".
This was the exact response I got from someone who used to be active in church services, but stopped after a while.
When I got the my new station I was on a routine visitation to members.
I came across this brother who I learnt used to be very active but stopped after some time.
We got into conversations about why he no longer come to church or give interest about God and kingdom matters.
He replied "before I gave my life to Christ and started going to church I was promised many things that God can do for me and because of what I was passing through I decided to give it a trial but I came and nothing changed, so I left"
Wow!!
This is basically the challenge believers are facing today when we go for evangelism.
Seeing people who are disappointed with God.
Because wego and show the world the finished product and not the raw material and the process to the finished product.
Jesus Christ is the Raw material, salvation messenger is the process.
I can relate to this brother's story because I wasn't offered Christ first but mundane promises, but thank God for Pastor Paul Magbadelo of blessed memories whose seasoned message of Christ helped in shaping me.
Giving your life to Christ doesn't translate to automatic financial prosperity, even an unbeliever who obeys the rules of money will be financially rich and a fire filled Christian will be extremely poor if he disobey the money rule.
The essence of Cross is eternity and supernatural living, the prosperity and other things are made available to support your body here on earth, but not the goal for accepting Christ.
It's not a bait, that's why it comes after.
Notwithstanding, you must obey the principal (covenant of Scripture)
The riches, blessing, good health, business breakthrough, miracle marriage, miracle conception etc are the bye products of seeking first the kingdom of God and His righteousness (Matthew 6:33).
If the primary reason you are going to church is for miracles you will be disappointed a billion times.
Because you can't find that without first finding Christ.
Jesus is the way to all the things we are struggling to get. He gives them cheaply to us after we get married to Him as His bride doing His will.
The power and glory of God revolves around His will.
I know many are preaching today to fill up auditorium.
But what is the need of being a pastor of filled auditorium that doesn't know Christ?
In the realm of the Spirit you don't jump protocol, you can't jump to claim what a spirit has to offer without accepting the terms and conditions of that Spirit.
Kingdom blessing has protocols, process of activating the blessing.
And if your goal is the blessing you won't access it because as soon as you get it you will disown the spirit.
And God looks into the heart not what you say.
"Jeremiah 17:10 (KJV) I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings."
So, stop chasing what you will leave behind and chase eternity and He will supply you what you can leave behind.
And as a preacher of the Gospel present Christ to the people and allow God present to them the blessings.
God bless
