The Reasons We Are Lukewarm In Our Generation as Believers.

The church today is missing the very core reasons for Christianity, it is very good to have the good things of life, however, we must not forget the main objectives of our calling.

The church today prays for personal needs than kingdom needs, whereas, the bible said:

Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? For after all these things do the Gentiles seek: for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
Mat. 6:31-33 KJV

In his time, John Knox prayed: "Lord, Give me Scotland or I die".

St Patrick, a rugged believer that Brought even dead animals and trees back to life prayed: "God, Give me souls or give me nothing else".

Brethren, The Hebrides revival prayed:" Lord, If you will not use us, please, kill us".

The brethren from England who brought the Fire from Azusa Street revival gathered everyday under the terrible cold. Their only prayer topic was: "Lord, give us men that will spread Your Fire in the streets of England".

During the Indonesia Revival, those hungry hearts were seen praying day and night: "Lord, The harvest is ripe... If it pleases You, please use us".

One prayer that was common during the days of William Seymour was: "Lord, this is another day that hell must lose men and women. Please, we are here use us".

Paul said:" Woe is me if I preach not the gospel" Rachel said to her husband, Jacob: "Give me children or I die" But unfortunately, our churches are filled today with people who are not ashamed of spiritual barrenness.

We are asking "God give me money. God give me spouse. God give me visa".
Where do we see believers again that will be praying and fasting, and when you listen to them, you will be hearing:" Lord, let Your Fire fall in my community and let there be revival"?

When Paul encountered Christ, he fell and rose. What He asked was:" Lord, what will You have me do". But today, when we fall under anointing, we stand to start expecting marriage proposals and visas and employment letters.

This generation of members in our churches have not had a genuine encounter with the Man of Calvary. No generation has carried Bibles like us without opening it. No generation is materially driven like ours and we expect the land to obey us.

Jesus said; pray to the Father that He brings His Kingdom on earth. GOD help us to get it on time. Amen. Let's build up our spiritual life because its very necessary. If u miss heaven u can never miss hell. Think about it. Hell isn't a pretty place.

Do the work of an evangelist now by sharing this message with all your contacts.

Have u ever wondered what would have happened if we treat the Holy Bible the way we treat our mobile phone?

And the truth is that, we really can't live without the BIBLE. Don't share later, share it now.

What are you praying for today?

I pray, may the Almighty God grant good success to everyone who reads & sends this message. Amen

It wasn't Charles Grandison Finney who prayed that. It's John Knox

Op what you've said is nothing but the truth. The church is in a sorry state today. We are paying for the neglect of spiritual emphasis and warfare through increased activity by satan, we have opened the door to the devil and he has come in to sit by the cozy fire. Hmm.. May God have mercy.
