Lets Re-look At The Christian Faith by Heavenlybound: 12:11pm On Jul 03, 2016
At no time in history has there been more people who call themselves "Christian". Yet, Sodom and Gomorrah have a right to question God, "Why us when the 21st century is worse?". Many professing christians, but very few actually know what they believe in. I won't focus on all these in this post. I would instead focus on the Nigerian Church.

This generation reminds me of Acts 17:16-34. I quote verse 23 "For as I walked around and looked carefully at your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: to an unknown god. So you are ignorant of the very thing you worship--and this is what I am going to proclaim to you."

This is the pathetic case in Nigeria. Many people want to know God, but have been misled in our so-called churches. Most of our Pastor are not known in heaven. They are blind pastors/Bishops/GO, leading blind followers. However, some of these blind followers are genuinely hungry. In the day of judgement, hunger would not be enough. Rather, the blind pastor would go to hell as well as his sincerely-mistaken followers. Jesus never said you should follow any man. Never follow anyone. Paul (the big apostle) said "Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ" 1 Corinthians 11:1. If he doesn't follow Christ, the no need to follow him. Do not follow the Pope, Adeboye, Oyedepo, TB Joshua .......Rather listen to them if you feel they follow Christ, but let God's word guide you. Some of these men may not even be following Christ.

To end this write-up, I would say a few thing about the christain faith:
(1). Prosperity/Materialism is not a Christian message. If this is what your pastor preaches, he may not know God.
(2). Healing, wealth, breakthrough ....... are not the Christian message.
(3). Jesus did not need to die so that you can have money or health or any material thing.
(4). Jesus died for our sins, and our salvation. This is the christian message
(5). In these last days, the devil has infiltrated the church and true word of God is scarce. Please read you bible for what true Christianity is.
(6). Giving/Tithing are not the Christian message. You may glorify God better if you gave that money to the poor family next door.
(7). If Jesus were on earth today, he might not have the biggest church, no private jet, or mansion. His focus is on the coming kingdom where nothing perishes.

To end this write-up. 1Tim 4:1 "Now the Holy Spirit tells us clearly that in the last times some will turn away from the true faith; they will follow deceptive spirits and teachings that come from demons". These things are already happening. Please be watchful and be vigilant. Pray open-mindedly to God. He does answer prayers. Don't follow the modern prayers of "Fire! Fall down and die!! Rosary!! etc" God hears prayers from the heart.

Shalom. I would post more in due time

There is no Nigerian Church. Nigeria has Roman Catholic Church, Anglican Church, Methodist and various Penticostal, Aladura and Kwenu Churches. Those running these Churches are very qualified by their doctrine.
Please don't put sand into their Gari. They are doing well socially and economically.
