Open Letter To All Those Who Want To Go Away Pt. 1 by LordRazor1(m): 11:36am On Mar 03, 2015
A beautiful morning to you the readers. I give glory to God for the life given to us and the ability to conceive this message. I hope it meets you well.

I am honoured to be within the boundries of your senses and the accomodation of your sight. For years, the social networks has bridged people of varied race and skills who are galvanized through passion to share their products with the recipients/masses dispersed by distance. Together, we represent the harmony between tradition and progress.

We meet at a time of tension between the incursing Hosts of Heaven and the mercenaries of the gates of Hell- tension rooted in historical forces and epoch doctrines. The relationship between Christians and non-Christians include centuries of co-existence and co-operation but also conflict and religious wars.

I wish to quickly assert here that:

- this is not a message of hope for a mission impossible, neither is it a letter of advice for a situation gone sour;

- this is not an article that aims at convincing you of a preaching you heard somewhere neither is it a speech attempting to confuse and reel you off your grip on Christ the Saviour;

- this is not another sermon to decorate your electronic screen neither is it meant to explain any theological ideology or expound any doctrinal teaching.

THIS IS AN OPEN LETTER TO ALL THOSE WHO WANT TO GO AWAY; it holds a simple message and evokes the transparency and blessedness of THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE.

"Then Jesus said to the twelve, 'Do you also want to go away'"? John 6:67

Well let me put it straight to you: if you want to go away, go away! Let us know those of us that wants to stay and are truly unwavering! Listen, when push comes to shove we've got to take the bull by the horn and drive home the point no matter how bitter it tastes. Enough of the life on the fence. Stop being a chameleon or a bat!

If you want to stay, stay!

if you want to bid the Narrow Path goodbye,

if the journey to Heaven is not making sense or attractive anymore,

if you're not content with the slow pace of making it, the limits or Dos and Don'ts set for us in the Bible,

if you don't like God's methodology of training His children or the delay He employs in building them, then go away! Go try the devil!

Many of us have taken the Christian race for some political outfit or a business venture outsourced to the highest bidder or the one with most benefit and returns. Well HELL NO!!!

No one is canvassing in a servile manner for your candidacy. God is not begging for your enrollment and forceful stay. Jesus might be pleading for us in Heaven before the Father but He never placated anyone into believing on Him during His soujourn on earth. He simply presented the message.

Many of us think we're doing God a favour by working for Him, you are sore mistaken. And if you think He's not paying well and it doesn't pay you, the door is wide open. Please use the door but make sure you don't stand in the way, and don't shut the door behind you either!

I'm talking to those who claim they are saved!

OPEN LETTER TO ALL THOSE WHO WANT TO GO AWAY PT. 2

Today, we have a vigorous hybrid of Christians that arose from mixed faiths and aren't grounded in The Way and heterozygous species that developed from good Christian homes/background but with experiential secular life who've been taken down by the upsurge of social menace.

To break it down, we have those that were in-bred from other faiths into church but haven't really let go of the old (they still retained beliefs and uphold certain traditions of people they claim miss the Truth) and those who grew in church but loved what's happening out there; they just love the world. Both groups have cancerous thrive and are sickening the fold of Christ.

When they sing in church for instance, the former group wishes they sing it in the manner they were used to in their old religion, or they feel there's too much noise in the church and a lot of wild jamboree that are uncalled for or just superfluous.

There on the other hand is the latter group who wants the church to inject the slangs and dance steps they see or are used to out there.

Both bring into the church their ragged and tattered traditions that don't conform with the pattern of service the genuine people of God received from their fathers who truly walked with God in Spirit and Truth.

When any of their desires aren't met, they say the church is boring, they don't know how to worship, and so on. Many genuine believers are therefore pressurized to play to their tune and so many churches are yielding to that call.

And then when they grab the M.I.C, that's when you hear insane things being vomitted on the altar of worship; that's when they now churchify worldly songs, throw dance steps of the clubs and from popular music of the world saying it's to Jesus and spiritualize satanic slangs... In the church!

I wonder if God really accepts such, I doubt it. Is it not the church that's meant to be the model for the world? I wonder what kind of spirit gave birth to the songs people sing today whereby they use the beat and tune of secular songs to make spiritual music. Is that how it's supossed to be? Damn! It should be the other way round!

They want the church to be like the club they claim to have left! They want the message to sound like what they were used to hearing. They want the standard to come down, disciplined turned low, they say the leaders should be understanding, they want just a side, the supple side of the bible to be preached.

THEY'VE FORGOTTEN THAT THE SAME JESUS WHO IS THE LAMB OF GOD IS ALSO THE LION OF JUDAH! Two contrasting phenomena. THEY WANT THE STAFF (APPRAISAL OR PATTING ON THE BACK) ALWAYS BUT DON'T WANT THE ROD (CHASTISEMENT).

How are you going grow? And be complete? How? You want to grow spoilt? Well God sure doesn't breed bastards! THEY FEEL GOD IS TOO MERCIFUL THAT HE CAN'T DEAL WITH HIS CHURCH; THEY'VE FORGOTTEN THAT HE HAS HIS FAN IN HIS HAND AND HE WILL THOROUGHLY PURGE WHEN THE TIME COMES. They've forgotten that the axe is laid at the root that every tree that doesn't produce good fruit will be hewn down.
