The church is a pillar of truth, the church is a brake to slow the world from the path of perdition, the church is there to remind us of the vanity and transient nature of life but can we say this to be true of the church today.
The church instead of becoming a brake is now an accelerator speeding people in the path that leads to death. If the world speaks by hook or by crook then the church should speak only by hook. The world would have been better if our clergies on both divide stick to their true calling without trying to be jerks of all trades. Today our religious places is no longer a place where moral virtues are taught it is a place you are motivated to gain the world at the expense of your soul.
If all we have to teach is the principles of buying jet over night and waking up to the declaration of a man of God to win a lotto then what is the essence of the church to the rich that have acquired the effevercence pan aromas of life. What message do our clergies have for the “I have made it of the society”.
We need a church were we are reminded of eternity, were we are taught materialism is not the ultimate but an unbreakable relationship with Christ. We need a church that preaches the truth though it is bitter, we need a church that is not ran like a village towns meeting, we need a church operating as a community not one that is divided like the heathens, all this igbo community, igala community, yoruba community and idoma community etc, is nothing but an element of schism in the church, it is a platform to sponsor greedy and racial divide.
Thank God I am not a bishop wallahi, I will conceal all other combustible that make the church looks more of a social gathering, this was exactly the categories of people Jesus chased out of the temple saying my father’s house is a house of prayer and holiness but you have turned it to a den of thieves.
The church was originally intended to be ran like the mosque, go in when it is time for prayers and not the institution of some kind of government only God knows where it was fabricated from. Now people are so familiar with the church that the messages from her pulpits means nothing to them. May God help the church. I will be speaking on marriage anytime soon for the purpose of clarification. Good morning Nigerians.
