... It is written,my house shall be called the
house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of
thieves. Mathew 21:13
When God began with His people, He didn't ask
them to build temples, He wanted to live in them.
God wants to live in individuals who posses their
bodies in sanctification and honour. But a point
came when emphasis was shifted to physical
structures, people began to build great edifies for
God. The same structures that was presumed to
be house of God was rather business premises.
Jesus entered the temple and He could not find a
space in the temples, they are now places of
merchandise. People that filled the temple were
there for serious businesses and personal gains.
How these attitudes of men compare to
present day practices in the house of God!
Unguarded prosperity gospel has brought into the
house of God, people with business pursuit as
their main objectives. The blessings of God are
quantified by the level of physical materials at
one's disposal. This is quite unfortunate when the
people of God can only be identified by external
things that rarely have eternal value.
By their fruit 'not result' you shall know them is
the scriptural parameter for assessing God's
people but they have transferred attentions of
men from fruit to results. The scriptures
underlined the essence of fruit, because every tree
bears fruit of its kind. If the tree is good, the fruit
will inevitably be good. When it comes to results,
they are many things you can do to get results.
Therefore, riches and poverty are not tickets to
heaven.
The den of thieves; if you are in Church to seek
any other thing ahead of genuine salvation, you
are a thief. If you preach another gospel in the
house of God other than Christ and Him crucified,
you are a thief. If you promote anything in the
house of God ahead of holiness and sanctification,
you are a thief. If you preach prosperity, healing
and deliverance to people who are yet to be
convicted of their sins and turning to Christ for
their salvations, you are a thief. If you collect
offering and tithes from men of reprobate mind in
the house of God, you are a thief.
A careful understanding of several aberrations
and serious perversive teachings in the houses of
God, you cannot but appreciate why Jesus
concluded that most of these temples have been
turned to dens of thieves. When the Jews come
into the house of God, they start looking for
signs. The Greeks are desperate for intellectual
discourse in the house of God but our priority is
to preach Christ and Him crucified. Mathew 24:14
And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached
in all the world... Then the end shall come.
