Let me start by simply saying you will not like what you are about to read but it needs to be said! Instead of trying to "poke holes" in the post, your energies will better directed at examining yourself for REPENTANCE & REALIGNMENT!
We keep wondering why CHRISTIANITY these days is "1 million feet wide yet hardly 1 inch deep"
It is primarily because we are building on SELF and not on CHRIST!
What many practice mostly these days is simply SELFIANITY {Self-centered not Christ-centered Christianity} not REAL CHRISTIANITY.
🔥 TRUTH vs TREND
Instead of setting a different standard from the world we are following the world's trends trying to build the TRUTH on TRENDS instead of building TRENDS on TRUTH!
🔥 MONETISATION vs MINISTRY
We are more interested in CONTENT MONETISATION than CHARACTER BULDING & CHRIST BEING FULLY FORMED IN PEOPLE- which is Real Ministry!
🔥 BRANDING vs BUILDING
We are more interested in BRANDING OUR SELVES than BUILDING THE BODY.
So every post must come with our personal picture in different postures.
Why? They must know me!
🔥 CREDIT vs GLORY
We are more interested in taking credit for all we do than God getting the Glory! Why? We think it is by our strength that those things are done!
If only God will give us credit for all our wrongdoings too!
Thank God for GRACE!
🔥 BIG VS GOD
We teach people to THINK BIG instead of THINKING GOD forgetting that God can use both big and small and it is up Him to define them
We now wonder why COVETOUSNESS reigns in many lives and CONTENTMENT is out the window!
🔥 BAKERY vs BREAD
We teach people to take charge of their lives and make sure they OWN THE BAKERY instead of following God and trusting Him for DAILY BREAD!
🔥 RICHES vs POVERTY
We DEIFY RICHES and DEMONISE POVERTY!
We are now surprised when the pews are filled not with thieves willing to repent but honest people eager to steal.
🔥 DYING vs LIVING
Instead of emphasizing "DYING TO SELF" we wrongly teach ABUNDANT LIFE as LIVING LAVISHLY.
We must not continue like this!
🏹 The real problem the church has is not trouble from without {PERSECUTION} but from within {SELFIANITY}.
🏹 The Devil knows the Church's strength is CHRIST so he weakens us by making us focus on SELF!
🏹 The Devil is hiding under self preservation and self promotion to draw us from God's NARROW WAY into the BROAD WAY and we even have the audacity to testify about it! We call it GROWTH, PROGESS etc but like the Laodicean Church in Rev 3, we have locked Christ out and now run things ourselves!
God's standard is simple - CHRIST ALONE!
No extras!
This is the narrow way!
You are either on it or you are off it!
Please check your location and retrace our steps back to the Narrow Path!
Matt 7: 13 - 27 NKJV
🎯 The Narrow Way
“Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it.
Because narrow is the gate and [d]difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.
🎯 You Will Know Them by Their Fruits
“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.
You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles?
Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.
A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
Therefore by their fruits you will know them.
🎯 I Never Knew You
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.
Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’
And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’
🎯 Build on the Rock
“Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock:
and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.
“But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand:
and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.”
