MY HEART CRY
We have a generation that loves to receive gifts and accolades from men rather than from God. A generation that does not have the heart of the fathers.
A generation that is more faceful, than faithful, a generation filled with greed and lustfulness, men and women that do not care about kingdom matters, but care so much about their bellies. A generation who have become men pleasers than God chasers.
How can we fulfill a divine mandate under this kind of atmosphere. Those who have become glued to the microphone, speaking trash and jagons in the name of mysteries, thinking they are serving God.
We must stand up in righteousness to fight against this wickedness of men.
A generation that has made holiness a failed life, what a world we now live in.
THE YOUTHS OF OUR GENERATION
The youths in ministry;
The average youths sees ministry as a platform of expression of power, authority, talents and all kinds of stage performances, In the bid to add spices to the gospel, to make the gospel interesting, and also a tool to vent their emotions and feelings. But have forgetting the reason why Christ came into this world to die for us.
The life of Christ is wey beyond our emotions and feelings, nor whatsoever any man can teach us to follow. We are supposed to become witnesses to Christ and not ourselves.
THE CHRISTIANITY OF TODAY
The practice of Christianity has been greatly influenced by lots of good ideas and personal preferences, we have drastically reduced the standard of practice into talent hunts, what I call the world practices.
Christianity has been reduced to a place of encouragement, lukewarmness and all manner of creativity that is gradually taking the place of spirituality.
TAKE A STUDY ON THE LIFESTYLES OF THOSE FATHERS OF FAITH.
1. Prayer was a priority in their lives.
2. Consistency and daily routine of spiritual life.
3. Bible reading and study was highly emphasized.
4. The fruit of the spirit was highly encouraged.
5. Brotherly love.
6. Evangelism was their hobby.
7. Holiness was an emphasis in their messages.
8. They became Fathers at a young age till date
9. They focused on the assignment of God.
10. Today, they have become spiritual cover to us.
Meanwhile, the youths of our generation have become very creative in church, they have turned the gospel into lasciviousness, they have made a shipwreck of the common faith that was once delivered unto the saints. They don't contend anymore.
a. Intimacy with God has become fornication.
b. Prayer has become content for social media.
c. Bible studies have turned into sharing revelations.
d. The fruit of the spirit is seen as a weakness.
e. Holiness is old fashioned.
f. Evangelism has become a church transfer.
g. Brotherly love has become gossip groups.
h. The Holy ghost Has been substituted for personal abilities and displays of physical strengths.
Another spirit has taken over our platforms, the serpent Adam did not deal with in Genesis has become a dragon in Revelation. We must arise to fight against these trends in the body of Christ.
Christian brothers and sisters are into yahoo and fraudulent activities. What a world we now live in.
We no longer trust the testimonies of some of our brethren, because of mischief.
Brethren now live for greed and not for Christ.
My heart is filled with heaviness and as I continue to communicate these burdens in my heart.
We have made the death of Christ of no effect.
Our lives are supposed to be hidden in Christ, Christ in God.
And also, Christ wants to be in us, so that they can be a hope of glory.
Who has believed our reports, this is my heart cry.
