Four Kinds Of People In The Church by Acidosis(m): 11:59am On Apr 25, 2013 |
1. Parasite: These caterory involves people who run from one man of God to the other seeking miracles, blessings and wonders. They'll make sure they suck the anointing of a man dry before they leave. They love phrases like: Man of God, please pray for me They're after what God/church can do for them. 2. Predators: These people are agents of darkness sent to pull down the church of God. You may not recognise them except you're a spirit filled child of God. Some of them even sing, teach, usher and pray in the church. Do not be deceived. 3. Participants: LOL! Virtually all christians fall in this category. They tend to participate in church activities, sunday service, new year service, easter programme, christmas celebration, praise night, praise sunday, thanksgiving sunday, etc.. You only see them in church when they want to worship God, pray or dance. 4. Partners: Now I'm not talking about those men we see on screen begging for money. Partners are 100% interested in the advancement of the kingdom of God.. These people are never shy to tell you the name of their church or pastor, they'll defend the kingdom of God with their last breath. Most of them are intercessors, investors & soul winners. A partner is not a pastor, evangelist, intrumentalist or chorister, but somone who will do anything for God and his/her church without expecting to be paid. A church without partners will fade in a very short moment. Here what Paul the Apostle said" Romans 16:3 "Tell Priscilla and Aquilla"hello", They have been my fellow workers in the affairs of Christ Jesus.. Infact they risked their lives for me, and I am not the only one who is thankful to them: so are all the Gentile churches. These are the words of Paul to the Chorinths.... Can your pastor utter these words about you? Can you risk your life for the advancement of God's work in your church? 2 Likes |

It seems like all you do is go around judging others and creating categories. I hope you're a senior staff of the Supreme Court of Heaven.. acidosis™: 2 Likes |

@OP, Hmmmmmmn this is thought provoking. May God always help us to participate and partner to push the gospel forward at all times. NL is full of critics, many of who do not even have churches they attend and partner in, instead many are predators and on-the-fence participants. If only the energies used in criticising is used to do positive works. Hardly do critics amount to much anyway. |

Heaven is not even certain.. cos we became born again because we love God & if we love God, we'd work for him. 1 Like |

Matt7: 1-5 "Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye" We are not in a position to start labeling people names, relationship with God is a personal thing and you can NEVER know the full extent of the personal relationship people share with their God. We need focus on working out our own individual salvation with fear and with trembling. |

Had it been Jesus christ worked out his own 'salvation' without preaching and teaching the disciples the same word you used against me, you and I would be roasting in hell today. How can you work out your own salvation without teaching and learning. What do you want to work out? If I had called the man that preached to me "judge" for calling me a sinner, do you think I would be here today quoting the word of God? Like what have I said to deserve all these judgments? What if I tell a sinner it shall never be well with him! I'm sure you'll hate me and call me lucifer! Lol! meanwhile, its just a bible verse (Proverbs 28:13). I am not the type of christian who is scared of saying the undiluted word of God. I'll gladly give you the biblical proofs of all I typed there if you ask. |

If we all want to be selfish as you propose, then who will preach the word? Jesus christ or the angels? |

Show me one sinner Jesus condemned in the Bible. He always said go and sin no more, he condemned the act (see John 8 ). No one is scared to preach holiness, the problem when we start labeling people is that we run the risk of saying that we are better than them; when really, there is none righteous, not one (Rom 3:10). Genuine conviction comes from the Spirit of God. Remember when Jesus was with Peter and John, and Peter (who had betrayed Jesus) questioned John's relationship with Jesus; Jesus told him to mind his business (Jn 21). As Christians in as much as we need to spread the word, our prinicipal focus has to be that we spend eternity with God (Matt 6:33), if we focus on that, everything else follows automatically- our lives will even be a sermon by itself. I hope you understand, God bless you my brother. |
