Just being Real.

Today I'm just highlighting a major concern in the body of Christ in this generation. Previously I talked about the need for us not to walk in ignorance especially about kingdom matters and even pointed out how the people in Berea in Acts 17v10-11 who after hearing a word would go research more on it to confirm its validity. Today we have allowed our busy schedules to rob us of the time we need to pay utmost attention to sermons and to what the bible say about some of the issues being preached on. Matt 24v24 and Mark 13v22 do talk of the coming in of false prophets who will show great signs and wonders and if possible even deceive the very elect.

And that's one area that is crippling the church. We are more inclined towards the gifts and not the giver, the healing and not the healer. We have taken too much comfort in blessings and miracles which don't however take us to heaven. We have been deceived and mind-tuned in such a way that we are running around looking for miracles. We talk a lot about ministers instead of meditating on what they minister. After life changing conferences our lives are not transformed because we don't focus on what was preached but rather on who was preached. I have been to conferences too and for a week or two people would be talking about the preacher who was on fire and never on what he was on fire about.

We lack people with an appetite for the word and the need to search the scriptures. Whatever a pastor says stands. That's why we are busy running with church doctrine, man-made heresies and unbiblical practices. Saints you have to understand that people in ministry enter due to different reasons, some are called of God, some call themselves into ministry mostly because of the benefits they can get as pastors. Pastoral office has suffered great abuse in this generation and we continue to thank God for ministers who are true to their callings. John 1v1 God is His own word and the bible says those who know their God shall do exploits. Those who don't know their God and His word shall be exploited.

We are living in the last days and the agents of the devil are already operating as ministers of the light. We have also been blinded by the different man-made systems running in churches. Whatever the ministers says goes and much harm has been done from the pulpit, most real dreams have been destroyed and fake ones established. Fake prophets are on the loose too and it takes a man and a woman who know the word inside out to figure out these impostors. So my request to you good people is that just as the bible admonishes us to pray for those in authority, let's take some time to pray for ministry leaders that we know of. Let's pray that their paths be led by God otherwise the flock will suffer. And as individuals let's desire to know the word for ourselves; the practice of opening bibles only on a Sunday morning in church should end really. There are much serious issues in the realm of the spirit and we need not be ignorant at all.

Stay Blessed
