Whenever we tell people that In Act 5, A couple lied in the church and died instantly..

Whenever we preach that The apostles disappeared from a prison that was locked, cast out demons in seconds, and performed diverse miracles,


Anytime we speak about the healings of Jesus, including the raising of Lazarus, who was dead for four days,

whenever we preach Jesus crucified, whose name did wonders in the scriptures, both by the apostles and by Jesus himself,

People look at the present day church and the problems that are present in the world (eventhough the so called church is still in the same world,)

and say,

IT IS A LIE.

I don't blame them.. However, permit me, in my opinion, to explain the reasons why we are in this situation today....

I will be very brief.

Take a closer look at this,


"But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days" This is in the Bible. The question is,

How Terrible?

An 18 year old boy killed his Mother and slept with her corpse for money.

A woman lost her day old child to ritualists who would pound him in a mortal, while he cries to the heavens.

People celebrates immorality openly,

Christians watch porn in the church...

During night vigils, when the lights are off, guys sleep with girls in the church, some, on the altar .

Children have only skeletons remaining, there are no flesh because of hunger, while someone embezzles the money..

To discredit a sitting government as an opposition, I will engineer hoodlums to kill thousands of people.... without flinching..

Dear reader, don't feel bad...This is just the beginning...

The world will become so full of these things in no time...

It will get to point where humanity will be completely lost..

Jesus said... IF THE DAYS ARE NOT SHORTENED... NO ONE WILL BE SAVED.

The world is in danger, the church is also in danger....

The Holy Ghost is HOLY... and cannot work in this atmosphere .....Very few persons experience him..
.

hence, miracles are scarce and people fake it to appear relevant...

The good and genuine miracles are few, and are discredited by those that do fakes...

You don't know who is who, and what is genuine or fake..

Righteousness and holiness are far from many who claim to be pastors...

and their fake lives and miracles affect people's belief in the few good ones
What the apostles experienced has been toned down by iniquities...

What remains, now,

IS FOR EVERY INDIVIDUAL TO SAVE HIMSELF .

See more of the characteristics of people in the terrible times,

People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,

without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good

,treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God

having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them.....

The Church also has this traits... we do more of these things

That's why the name of Jesus has become Powerless in our mouths,

but, however,

That does not mean that Jesus is not real or that his name is powerless.

Sin, and a lot of sin, has made his name powerless in our mouths.

It was not so in the days
of the apostles.

Jesus is Lord.

I will continue this thread.. so that we can see for ourselves... what is really going on in this world.

Look at the situation of the Church :

2 Timothy 1vs 5.

Having a form of godliness but denying its power...


What we have now is people who have A FORM OF GODLINESS.... but their actions denied what it means to be holy...

The Bible records,

"For we know that God does not hear a sinner"

Look at the characters of many pastors and bishops and general overseers, who should pray for you..


" People will be lovers of themselves,

lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive,

disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,

without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good

,treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God

having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them....."

You just read 2timothy 3vs 3-5.

...and we know that God does not hear sinners,

In this present world, Who will pray for headache to go away, if God does not hear sinners?

There are people who can... They are very very few.

The Church, that should save the world, are in these things, with the world.

Now, let's proceed.

If you are lucky,

You get to hear the word of God from a child of God...

Then, something else happens,..

"A farmer went out to sow his seed.

As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up"

The seed is the word of God... the demons are the birds that come to eat the seed.."

"Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants."

The thorns are the cares of this world... They choke our belief and we fall away...

Two things are now involved... The Devil, and The

cares of this world...(Admission, school fees, family cares, unemployment, danger, uncertainty, fear,survival, etc )

The world is in disarray because of these two things.

It is a difficult time indeed...

The devil, through men, has made it difficult for the church to live a holy life.

Without bride, you can't get a job. You need to give a percentage to get a contract.

Your age decides if you will get a job or not.. So, you need to reduce it to suit your purpose.

That pastor standing in front of you reduced his age too ...

Mediocre are promoted, honesty and dignity despised ...

Immoral guys are celebrated.. they are the celebrities and they are enpowered by men.

Truth is gone...lying is being smart.


All these makes living difficult.. The church is also involved...

Miracles are scared ..

thorns are everywhere, choking the word of God.


That does not mean that the Bible is a lie...

Jesus was crucified.. for the sins of man.

He did a lot of miracles and empowered his children to do greater miracles..

The fact that we are not able to do it, or that few are doing miracles does not mean that Jesus name is powerless...

Without this same Jesus, no one can be saved ..

Anyone who doesn't believe in him is condemned already...You don't need to wait till the judgement day... This is what the Bible says...

You need to believe.

and repent and change your ways.

Don't look at the present church and the world..

Take a personal decision and save yourself..

What goes on in the church and the world is not a yardstick for you to continue in your unbelief..

That is not an excuse as you won't be pardoned because of this...

Accept Jesus and save yourself from the destruction of this miserable world.

Jesus is the only way to life... Ask Lazarus who was brought back to life after four days in the grave.

Very insightful and practical realities of the challenge of being a Christian in our days. Very sound teaching and doctrines are scarce. God please help us

Trustme2:
Very insightful and practical realities of the challenge of being a Christian in our days. Very sound teaching and doctrines are scarce. God please help us

We should go back to God and pray.

It is a dangerous time...

The devil is seriously working...

The church should wake up in unity and intersession.

The church needs to wake up to her responsibilities...

The holy spirit should be given full control to work...

People who are still in sin should not go near the pulpit ...

If we don't do this, Miracles will remain few and the devil will put a lot of people in bondages.

The church is divided on doctrinal lines...
we should all go back to the Bible and lay doctrines aside...
This will bring us all together.
