In the house of the poor, there are always alot of prayer points. Pastors bind, lose, and raise fire. But is that actually the problem? Poverty will continue if there is no shift in mindset and opportunity created. Majority of the blind men we have in Nigeria and in the world are beggars and in the same countries some are employers of labour. Being blind physically is bad but it is worst when it is the blindness of the mind. With physical eyes you can only see little but with the eyes of the mind you see beyond your next neighbour(s). However in praying for these fellows we should remember that the problem is not always demons or witches but physical hunger. The right kind of teaching should be enforced in our churches today. Some are sick may be the mind kind of sickness. What do you really think is the cause of their sickness? I sometime wonder why teachers of the gospel would see the needy in the church and won't dare to help but keep praying for God's divine help upon their lives. The bible says when we see our enemy hunger and we ask to them to pray, were then is the love of God? I wrote some time ago about the first Church at Antioch (the part 1). We are drifting away from the old landmark. But we have to understand that the church ought to be a place of refuge for the helpless and the poor.
The time has come for us to live above just preaching to living out the word. People now add to the Bible by teaching contrary things. The bible is not a constitution made by man that can be amended but the good news is that the bible is the book of life. Stop "painting" the words of God. Stop twisting the bible. The word of God according to the Bible is Yea and Amen; it means it is complete on its own. God did not make mistake about any thing in the bible. Folks may tag me the "old fashioned Christian" for what am about to unveil this year as the spirit leads.
Recently, God drew my attention to something now very common in the society. A pastor will place his and his wife's picture on the church Sign Post. Who are they advertising, the church, themselves or both? God remains the owner of the church and Him alone. These things never existed before now. I thinks it just doesn’t matter will be thought of some people. But I think it does that why God drew my attention to it.
There are men who stand on the pulpit only to talk ill of other ministers’ just like I heard this morning a man of God ridiculing a prophet of God. Let’s be careful.
