Despite Many Churches, Why Corruption: Still Continues? by mikoas: 9:36pm On Nov 24, 2009 |
Hello friend, I say good day to you. I had been wondering since all these days for the level of corruption, injustice, murdering, kidnapping, etc in our great nation. Despite that churches are increasing daily, pastors were every where, vigil and many others spiritual activities are so on all the days, yet all these evils are increasing daily. What are the cause, what can we do to end these in order to re-brand Nigerian for the vision 20: 2020. Thanks for your quick reply. |

We can draw a parallel between our society today and the religious people of Jesus' day. There were so many i-too-know religious people in Jesus' day who took religion to the extreme. They took it so far that certain groups of Jews were forbidden to |

mikoas: Corruption is also in the church. Today churchs are business and your pastor is a businessman. Money is the concern, not the salvation of your soul. |

The motivating factor is important in assesing any venture. People become pastors today in quest for three square meals. |

Churches are made up of saints most of those are yet to really accept full responsibility for their faith.There are three main group of people in the church *the visitor or spectator *the participator *the traitors May God help us all. |

@Post The truth is that the mordern church as drifted away from the true gospel of our lord Jesus christ and most of what is being preached today is "doctrine of men" being presented as word of God. His heresy is very popular and still evolving in the pentecostal fold were there pastors keep claiming "God told me" this and that just to manipulate people into believing in them. The church needs to return to the true gospel of christ then corruption would be greatly reduced in our society, but thsi is an herculean task as majority of our church leaders are hypocrites. |

Seeking his hand and not his face. When you seek Gods face there is a character change as you lose yourself and himself (God) comes into you, his Glory is seen in you, and you no longer live but he lives in you. Christians, Churches in Nigeria are preoccupied with what can we get from God, not obeying God or Loving him. Sons of God reflect God, that is female and male sons. Sons of disobedience reflect thier father, the prince of the air, the devil. |

mikoas:I love this question from the OP, Coz an average conscious Nigerian should be able to ask him/herself why is this happening? But the answer is not far fetched from those who have the proper understanding of what the bible said concerning the time we are living in (End time). KunleOshob:I really appreciate this response, to add more, what is happening in Nigeria today and other parts of the word is not something any Christain should surprised abt. God himself already forsaw this and made them known to us through his word. So the question of above on Nigerian situation today is the end product of our generation as prophesied in the book of (II Timothy 3:1-5,7) "But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, malicious gossips, without self-control,brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of god; holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth." From the passage above you will see that Nigerian is lacking non from all these things bible mentioned. They typical churches we have in Nigeria today is not as a surprised either. Bible also warned us against this earlier in the book of (I Timothy 4:1-3 )"But the spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons. By means of the hypocrisy of liars seared in their own conscience as with a branding iron, men who forbid marriage and advocate abstaining from foods which God has created to be gratefully shared in by those who believe and know the truth." We can see churches today are becoming more and more ecumenical, embracing the New Age interfaith agenda, and denying Christ as the only way to salvation. Also preaching tolerance and compromise in place of God's truth for the salvation of the world. Pastors are in the position to preach what the members want to hear and not what God sent them to preach. Why? becoz they are afraid of losing their members, they are now more conscious of how many members they have and not how many saved souls. Where are the pastors of those days that believes they better preach the truth to an empty chairs next sunday, than preach lies to thousand of members? You can find them no where, not only in Nigeria, but all over the world. But we have one assurance as stated in (Luke 21:28) "But when these things begin to take place, straighten up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near." Genuine Christains are not supposed to be surprised of today's Nigerian events or other parts of the world, becoz there was a guarantee of what is happening today in the book of (Luke 21:32) "Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all things take place." |
