America Cannot Be Wrong by dunsman(f): 4:03pm On Jul 07, 2015 |
AMERICA CANNOT BE WRONG? The influence of America and her culture on the church in Nigeria is monumental. Although Christianity did not come from America, America was as gentile as Nigeria as far as the salvation programme of God is concerned, people here have come to see America as the standard of Christianity. Any minister of God who travels to America to preach, even though to less than two dozen people, leaving the hundreds of brethren in his congregation behind is considered a big and successful minister of God. Here we have adopted the American style of worship. Our musical instruments are American; our lyrics are American. Our ministers dress American; some even mimic popular American preachers sounding miserable in the process. When our brothers, (Americana pastors) came back from America, they began to tell us that it no longer matter for our sisters to cover their heads in prayer meetings. Everybody (except some few "conservatives" said yes; America cannot be wrong. Later they told us that since women wear trousers to church in America, it no longer matter for sisters here to do same. Everybody complied; America cannot be wrong! Recently, men come to church with braided hair while women come with "skin" haircut, many are in church with tattoo and men wear ear rings. We all sing, jump and shout together in church in the American way; these things do not matter because that is what they do in America and America cannot be wrong! Now American men are marrying themselves in church and their women are doing the same. Soon American churches will be full of couples who are Mr Wood and Mr Wood married legally in the church and Mrs and Mrs Stones married together. America is always right! That is the position here! Soon in Nigeria, shall also see Olu and Ade, two brothers in the church as couple, one in the choir and the other an usher? I hope America will be wrong for once and something will really matter to the church in Nigeria! Soon it will no longer matter in America for Mr Coal to marry his dog and for Miss Bush to marry her horse. Then, I hope it will matter to the church in Nigeria! Brethren, for how long will the culture of America be the culture of the church? The "name it and claim it" faith movement came from America; also, the capitalistic Christianity where wealth is used to measure God's approval. Where is America leading the churches in our land? Our bishops and reverends, I hope that after your next trip to America, homosexuality will still be a sin; I hope it will still matter? We do not need any prophet again to know that the trumpet of the home call will sound any moment from now. How ready are you? I hope the matter of eternity still matter to you? (If it matters to you, share this message with those that matter in your life) Think on these things and may God give you understanding in Jesus name. Shalom! |
