The Pulpit As A Tool For Ambiguity! by ojabel(m): 1:56pm On Jun 26, 2016
Introduction

The gospel of the kingdom is simple and clear and so the adherent of the christian faith should endeavour to propagate it with simplicity and clarity. There is so much ambiguity in the presentation of the gospel these days that subscribers to the christian faith are daily wallowing in confussion.

This ambiguity in the presentation of the gospel originates from the pulpit. The pulpit as the custodian of the tenets of the christian faith is suppose to lead in the correct interpretation and implementation of the law of God.

However, the reverse is the case today. The pulpit has become a tool in the hands of its handlers to; settle scores, build personal empire, raise strong cult followership, acquire fame and popularity, destroy perceived enemies, and show case riches and opulence. Very often it is used as a weapon of vendetta.

People serve God based on their understanding. And this forms the reasons why there is variations in the life and character of the adherent of the christian faith. The main reason being the fact that why some are for Paul, others have teamed up with Apollos. The reality today is there are too many camps belonging to differnt Pauls and Apollos.

Suffice to say that the pulpit has succeeded in giving so too many interpretations to the law of God, thereby leading to the creation of ambiguities that the Church is experiencing today.

The Beneficiaries
One would have expected that the owner of the might and power behind the pulpit and the pew should be the over all beneficiary of their activities but No, that is not going to be. The beneficiaries are the custodians of the pulpit; the so called Levites, Father in the Lord, Bishops, GOs, men and women who hold more title than the man in whose name they have been priviledged. And for this they have more recognition than the one who sent them!
