1. There is almost no evidence whatsoever that the
early church had their “services” on a Sunday. They
gathered together ‘from house to house’ virtually
every day! People did not dress up and “go to
church.” There were no denominations or separate
groups with different ‘labels.’ They lived their lives
together – And the apostles in Jerusalem preached
everyday at a huge open-air gathering, not “hidden
away” inside four walls. Church buildings do not exist
in the Bible. They were invented around 200-300 AD,
when the church was in serious decline. Church
buildings are anti-New Testament, and they bring
with them a host of problems and traditions. It was
when the church fell into the hands of Rome that this
concept of the “cathedral” took over. And today, we
are still spending millions building these beautiful
monuments while the worshippers are starving.


2. The words “prosper” or ‘prosperity’ were NEVER
used by Jesus at all – and only mentioned a few
times in the entire New Testament. Yet our greedy
pastors have built kingdoms upon them. The words –
“sell what you have and give to the poor” and
“deceitfulness of riches” and “you cannot serve God
and mammon” and “woe to you that are rich” were
DEFINITELY used by Jesus and the apostles, but you
don’t hear them preached by your pastors, do you?


3. Tithing is not a New Testament practice at all. And
it is being shamefully abused by today’s preachers. In
the Old Testament, tithing was only applicable to
Jews and to the land of Israel and that was at a time
when a great number of them lived in Babylon,
Ammon, Moab, Egypt and Syria. As a result of that, the
land they occupied became tithe-able lands. Tithes
were not acceptable from Gentiles’ lands. So my
brothers and sisters, you need to ask your pastor why
he is collecting tithes here in Nigeria. Also, the only
people authorised to receive tithes were the Levites –
(Hebrews 7:5). If your pastor is collecting tithe from
you, ask him if he’s from the tribe of Levi. Even Jesus
who was a Jew couldn’t collect tithes because he
wasn’t from the tribe of Levi but from that of Judah.
And if your pastor insists that being a worker in the
lord’s vineyard qualifies him as a Levite, please
remind him that Levites had no land and did not own
properties.


4. The Jesus of today’s church is a “Father
Christmas,” a Jesus who exists mainly for our own
“happiness;” a Father Christmas who wants to rain
down continual blessings upon us; a Jesus of grace
and mercy without judgement, righteousness or truth.
Our gross misrepresentation of who Jesus really is, is
one of the most serious offences of today’s church.
We worship a “plastic” Jesus – one that we have
painted in our own image. What an offence to God.


5. What we have today are churches that are so loose
that they excuse any sin or misconduct, including
homosexuality and adultery. Aren’t we supposed to
accept only the truth of God’s word? But instead, we
have opted for a modern church that is socially based,
smooth and sophisticated, and presented like a
Nollywood movie with men and women
of ogboni fraternity dressed in their occultic regalia
occupying special seats during services. Something
is wrong!


6. What happened to the strong calls for repentance
that brought thousands down to the altar to repent
and ask Jesus Christ to save their souls? This is the
litmus test for Christianity; it is the essence of the
Cross; it is the great commission that Jesus
commanded us with. If your church is not winning
souls, then it is like a barren woman, and it is a
shame. Something is wrong!


7. What happened to the outpouring of the Holy
Ghost? Do we even know what it means anymore to
feel the presence of the Spirit of God descend on a
service and fill up the room with holiness? Or we just
love that party atmosphere and excitement when the
choir plays a boogie-down song? Or we love to
scream “ride on pastor” in the excitement we get
when some charismatic preacher works the crowd?
It’s been so long we’ve felt the presence of the Holy
Spirit that we don’t know what it is anymore.
Something is definitely wrong!


8. Lots of pastors are aware that there is something
very wrong with the church today. They know there is
little ‘fear of the Lord.’ They know there is no deep
repentance or deep moving of the Holy Spirit.
They know that it is just the same old “game” being
played every week. A lot of them are very aware of
this, but they will not do anything about it. They will
not rock the boat. And they will destroy anyone who
comes along trying to do something. They do not
want any reforms. There is too much to lose. They
have their careers and their “kingdoms” at stake. This
is the truth of the matter. Most of you are worshippers
of your pastors and not God. Many of you are hell
bound. So pray my brothers and sisters. Pray for your
souls. Let me stop here and leave room for you to call
me names. But do remember that the church is
leading you to hell – not me!
