If you attend a Church that is less conscious about its people’s welfare, (how their lives are getting better, whether they have good jobs or not, what struggles they go through) and more conscious about building projects, receiving seeds, and competing with their other colleagues in ministry with worldly thing, my Brother think twice and pray for the Spirit to guide you, I don’t care how popular or widely accepted the church is, you might still be in the wrong place for YOUR LIFE’S PURPOSE!
The bible says when the Queen of Sheba visited King Solomon, she was startled by how much glory and array of splendor were exuded by his kinsmen and even his ordinary floor servants.
You are a Pastor, God has blessed you tremendously, you know it for yourself in your heart that you are not struggling, you have abundance, yet your ushers are jobless, you have never asked them where they work, you noticed one of your close ushers is always wearing one particular tie, but you receive boxes of ties regularly and you haven’t given one to him.
You pay your instrumentalist coins, and yet this is the talent God gave them to make prosperous way for them in life, you expect them to be in every service and play – then you convince them they are working for God, so God will bless them, yet when you invite your colleagues (Men of God) for a programme, you parcel hefty cash and goodies for their coming, are they of a better gifting than the Drummer or the Guitarist? Some churches have more expensive instruments than the total net worth of their instrumentalists and staff all put together! And you are wondering why they are worldly and go play for diabolic funerals and night clubs? Aren’t you being unfair?
Why should a building have more priority than the human being? Why should the church worker always be broke and yet you call for seeds and tithe every service? I am not saying splash cash all over, no, I am saying at least let the wealth trickle down to those working with you in the vineyard who are making the collective success of the ministry possible. And reward members who have been loyal to the vision for a long time.
The Church must shift focus from judging and condemning members, and begin to show them more love. Don’t preach giving, DO GIVING! Give back to the congregation! Don’t tell me you gave them the word, but why didn’t you tell them to sow words too? You expected physical rewards right? Good. Now, send to them physical rewards too, yes we know you are trying and once a while you step out to feed poor people, but can we tally the frequency and see how the scale of your receiving far outweighs your love for people and willingness to give back to them? The early church shared such that no one was lacking, what happened to today’s church?
Although I am a church boy, a Pastor’s kid, and obviously I love God, I am a church addict and an ardent follower of Jesus Christ, I must say that church leaders have been a subject of fierce controversy even among the people of the world, and sometimes the unbelievers who criticise us have innocent minds with great and valid points! Why should I come to church when everything is settled on a leader and the church’s wealth is circulating amongst a select few? How much does the church cleaner earn? You will be shocked to know that a cleaner in a worldly organization earns more than say a keyboardist in a Mega Church that rakes in Millions of Dollars annually. Let the word of God work first in church, before we send it to the world! You too giveeee! Hahahahaha.
Some of us are already graced and matur
We have gotten to a point that no matter what happens in Church we will still go to church. We won’t and can’t quit church for any reason, but the church should get better in order to become more attractive to new souls who has a heart for God but do not like the way the church is run, perhaps especially in Africa.
