The Place Of Church In Nation Building – Are We Still Faithful? by tomakint: 11:47am On Jul 24, 2012
Indeed, Churches in our contemporary times have gone so parasitic due to their weekly money-making businesses that it hardly parades faithful worshipers as it used to but multitudes of faithless worshipers. It has even gone to the level where miracles in most churches nowadays are nothing but pious-fraud, just to glorify and enrich the preachers and their acolytes.

I still don’t understand where Christianity in this end-time is heading! In those days we were told that if Central Banks and other big indigenous companies across the country are looking for people to hire, they will contact the founders of living churches around because they were that trustworthy, but what do we have today? It seems most of the Churches around have now turned into criminals manufacturing establishments where deacons, potential church workers who are privileged to be in high places in their working places are reported by their bosses to their respective pastors of embezzling and misappropriating funds meant for the companies into their private pockets, the list is endless.
What is your take on this? Are we Christians really prepared to meet the Saviour of our souls, JESUS CHRIST?

One thing is certain, the "voice of one crying in the wilderness" had been lost in the body of Christ today. Our pulpits is filled with men that are no more righteousness conscious. Our preachers dine and wine with corrupt politicians without telling them to their face, "thus saith the lord". How can we truly be the light of the world when we ourselves are on a "download", when we are cooked on one side and raw on the other.

God is raising men behind the screen, men that will be his voice in the end time, men that will stand like John the Baptist and speak to the face of corrupt rulers without fear or favour. The revolution had already started in the Spirit. Nice thread.
