Because thou sayest, I am rich, and am grown rich,
and have need of nothing, and knowest not that thou art the wretched and the
miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked; I counsel thee to buy of me gold purified
by fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white garments, that thou mayest be
clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness may not be made manifest; and
eye-salve to anoint thine eyes, that thou mayest see Rev 3:17-18
I beg my good friends to forgive my outburst but it
is becoming dangerous what the church of our day has become. The scripture here
simply capture the state of churches in Nigeria, which is the model for
churches in most part of Africa.
How do we rate churches today?
Fine building and church auditorium – Have you
noticed like I have that when a pastor want to tell the public how God moved in
his last program, he posts a picture where he is handling a microphone while standing
behind an expensive pulpit. Are these the standard the Apostles left for us as
evidence of the presence of God?
Have you heard that big churches have it as a policy
that they don’t accept poor people as pastors? So who do they accept? Busy
medical doctors will work in their clinics from early morning till late evening
and still be the head pastor over a young man who has spent most time of the
day in prayer. If you ask for anything, the available pastor will have to get
answer from the unavailable senior pastor. Some of these senior pastors work at
the rig with oil servicing companies; they work two weeks in the rig and then
two weeks in the church. Yet, they are senior pastors. Any surprise then why
our church auditorium are like cemeteries on week days. I asked after a pastor
in his church; the young man told me, “To day is our prayer meeting by 5pm”. I
asked, “Should I then wait to see him”, and he replied, “No! he may not even be
there by 7pm”. We then leave the auditorium to whomever.
Have you noticed that most churches have it as a
policy that only graduates are accepted as ministers in their churches? Jesus
took ignorant men and trained them in Kingdom principles; today’s churches take
men the world have trained and make them leaders. We run upside down to the
bible principles. I now wonder why Jesus Christ took illiterate fishermen and
ignored Pharisees, teachers of the law and Sadducees of His time. I bet, we are
teaching Jesus how to run His church. The argument here is that the poor
pastors steal church money. What a shame. Is it right that the rich
businessmen, doctors, lawyers etc should bring in their money to support those
that God has called in to full time ministry?
I would not have bothered myself if churches I hold in
great regard are not part of this. There are churches with long term legacies
and today, their leaders are ignoring the principles of the fathers.
Talk of Redeemed Christian Church of God, Deeperlife
Bible Church, Assemblies of God and many more.
Let me make it clear to Dr. Chidi Okoroafor of AG
that a lot of men he has in his gang are thieves. Some years back he ministered
in conference PNUR funded in 91 Nelson Mandela, Calabar but the then Assistant
District Superintendent deceived him that the church sponsored that program.
The ADS, now a DS of a district took my wife and I into a room and tried to
brain wash us to pollute our ministry so we can have money. When we refused he
took steps which I can’t mention here to make us pay for our “Stubbornness”. In
fact, we laterally ate poison in that meeting. Only God saved my wife and I. The
name of that minister is Rev. Dr. Christian Kalu. He is among those that are
supporting Chidi Okoroafor. Will Chidi Okoroafor say he does not know that God
called him as a nondenominational intercessor? He is repreaching all the
messages he preached long ago just because of church politics.
When will Lazurus Muoka of the Lord’s Chosen obey
the bible he preaches and stop hunting his former father in the Lord for whatever
reason? Does the righteousness he preaches not include respect for elders and
unity of the Body of Christ?
I was once in Deeperlife Church Group forum in Port
Harcourt, specifically Rumudara, I watched in bewilderment how they honored so
called Bishops, some of them women who have walked out of their marriages, in
the meetings. These were things they had warned us to avoid. When did God
change His standards? Why did they not tell us God has changed His standards? I
saw pastors who had left the world and her system asked to give way to these “Abomination
in the holy places” as they were given seat in the front row. All these are in
the name of winning them over. How many have they won over since then? Those
men and women walked in few minutes into Pastor Kumuyi’s message and left soon
after they have received special recognition and gifts.
Red eyed policemen who do have regard for God and
His children are employed to protect Christian leaders and church property. How
come we have lost our focus so? So much that we value church properties more
than human souls. We no longer care how we hurt enquirers.
Is
this what you want to leave behind for us?
Let me ask Pastor E A Adeboye of RCCG, Pastor Kumuyi
of Deeper Life, Mike Okonkwo, Rev. Dr. Chidi Okoroafor and the rest of the
fathers who I respect; Is this the kind of church you inherited from those that
ministered before you? Yes, this message is not for the counterfeit ministers
and churches. It is not for the thieves parading as prophets. It is for those
who have tested the truth.
Is
this the kind of church you want to leave behind for us?
You brag about the many branches you have planted
almost in every country, expensive music system, large followership,
international cable network and many more. All these are very good but I want
to know if this is the kind of church you inherited from those that ministered
to you
Let me warn us that what you call prosperity may not
have value before God.
