DENOMINATIONS
```````````````````````````
A Spoken Word Piece
````````````````````````

Denomination:
Another word for, "it makes no sense what
you're saying as long as you're not from my church"

Denomination:
Another word for, "play a god of yourself by saying something off your head and then say you heard these series of words directly from the God himself"

We are a house crumbling down because our walls are divided within itself
Instead of building with bricks of faith and love
We now build deceitful walls that fuels our hate and lust For power.
Not to pull up one another but to pull down even further the ones who falter
And we call ourselves a church, the body of Christ;
One bought back by the everlasting blood bled, through everlasting love shared,
And we go on preaching with our lips that we are one and the same
Forgetting we are more like enemies on a battle field fighting with rage
And it's a cold war we're fighting
One that has come of age
And with age comes the blindness and vision deficiency
Making us lose focus of what's true and timeless

Now all we're doing is punching and kicking each other with our tongues.
Slaying ourselves with our Sunday sermons like knives to kill
We even hold on to hideous lines we speak
When we say "I worship the God of my church"
Forgetting he is the God of the whole world
and can never be boxed in the four walls
Of a building with aesthetics of filthy ragged righteousness
we've now moved our hearts ears from listening to what God said
To listening to "what my pastor said"

Daily devotionals now replace your bible verses...
And doctrines now become God's many voices
Causing a total disconnect from grace
Making us live off our own heads
We are now walking like blind lepers in a world full of obstacles
tripping us to fall in shame...

We have built wrestling rings for ourselves
And invited the devil in as the ref...,
And the world no clap their hands of mockery for us as cheersWe even go further
Breaking up sweet relationships
Saying things like: "Sister Brenda can never marry Brother Steven,
all because in your church his tithe he does not pay

Its no wonder a church building can be blown up in the north
and brethren die in the process
And down here in the south we continue with our self glorifying services
not pricked, not moved by bodies being blown to smithereens

Denomination.
that's what it is.
A foundation of fear and strife Striving to make your way the way now
And God's way for someday somehow

We are now Tying our selves to the gates of hatred and bitterness
Filling our hands not with his words as love
But with God's words as gloves to fight one another
Tongue that do more than heal now do worse than kill...
When we only think about filling our denominations of lies that stinks with the precious souls of men in need
Now tell me... What's the difference between hell and this ?
The fire of torment?
When we feel the torment each day in our hearts, when we try to out do the next building?

And it's a sad thing The house of God
is now reduced to place of hatred and wrath
Filled with people Lifting up hands presumed holy...
All for self justifiable reasons of self glory ...
We are Quick to say we are general overseers...
When vividly in this condition we are vision-impeded General over sinners...
And we are all sinners
Bought back by the same blood
Causing us all to be in one accord with the heart of the everlasting God

Now I know I've said enough
But before I leave this stage
I'll like to ask this question once and for all when we get to heaven...
Are we going to have a section for people from your church
and a section for people from mine ?
Or are we all together going to be in tune to one frequency
and that's God's holy mind
I'd like us to ponder on this for just a little while

Just like a friend will say "God nominated us and we de nominated ourselves". It just seem to me that the enemy distracted the church with irrelevant issues and stole the power and the authority that she once had. The church is not experiencing d demonstration of God's power like it once did because her focus has shifted away from the original purpose. It's my prayer that God will open the eyes of every believer to this truth so that we can join hands together to pull down the wall of hostility and take back all that the enemy has stolen from the church of Christ.
