Lots of Civets popping up here and there nowadays. I hope we don't finish consuming all of them like we did the phytons.

This is how many church folks think today. They want to be worldly and yet godly. I call them worldly godly.

So, who are the worldly godly 'Christians'? Oh, they are very easy to spot. They are the ones who judge Christians by worldly standard rather than by godly standard, and they usually think they make sense doing so. I'll give you a few examples.

* Bill Gates owns a private jet, why can't Bishop Oyedepo own a jet too?

* Ebuka wore an Agbada sewn for 280k, why can't pastor Biodun of COZA wear a $1,200 US Dollar wear?

* Celebrities and Sports Stars own exotic mansions and cars, why shouldn't Christians own exotic mansions and cars? Etc.

Most of those who make these rationalizations usually argue that God doesn't wish poverty and suffering for Christians. But that is a dishonest argument.

The point here is not whether Christians should be poor and suffer. The real issue is whether Christians should judge themselves by the same standard as folks in the world or not. The answer is simply 'No'.

You see, church folks who talk that way miss the major hallmarks of the life of Christ and His Apostles - Moderation and Modesty.

The Scripture says that Jesus was rich but He became poor for our sakes so that we might be rich. Apostle Paul would traverse the entire ancient Asia Minor just to make sure that none of the saints lacked anything material and spiritual. He stated once that 'I have learnt to abound and abase'. He worked as a tentmaker and literally stripped himself naked for saints in the local churches who lacked. He could have spent his incomes on expensive jewelries and accessories from Rome and Greece just to prove that His God wasn't poor. Paul didn't. He became poor for the sake of other poor saints.

Comparing the Christian with world achievers or putting both on equal moral pedestal is a very bad theology. It demonstrates a dire misunderstanding of the apostolic culture.

The Church is supposed to be 'a Special People', 'a Royal Priesthood', 'a Holy Nation', 'a People belonging to God...to show forth His Praise'. We are not regular. We are not secular. We are supposed to be a break from the secular norm.

Any Christian who justifies opulence and excess on the premise that 'others do it' is a theological disgrace. He might as well argue that;

* Niki Minaj dances pantless and braless on stage, why can't Christians do same?

* Yahoo boys drive exotic automobiles from fraud money, why can't Christians enjoy same?

Do you see how ridiculous that sounds? That's exactly what you sound like when you make comparisons between secular achievers and Christians.

You cannot be worldly and godly. You must choose one. Choose a struggle. Worldly godly is an oxymoron.

I know that God is not poor. He owns everything. But in Christ He chose to identify with poverty so that others might be rich.

He is GOD! He could have been born in a Palace but He chose a Manger. He is GOD! He could have enrolled Himself in the best Scholarship in Ancient Greece but He chose Carpentry. He is GOD! He could have chosen 12 Richest Men on Rome's Forbes' List as Disciples but He chose 12 Nonentities as Disciples.

Everything about God in Human Flesh speaks Moderation and Modesty.

Owning a private jet among 110 Million Destitutes is neither moderate nor modest.

Wearing a Gucci Wear worth $1,200 in a country where Youth Unemployment is between 60-70% is neither moderate nor modest.

You are not Christ's Ambassador. You are His Headache.

You are not godly. You are worldly. You are worldly godly.

On behalf of Liverpool Football Club, we humbly apologise for not scoring a single goal against Porto.
We are saving our goals for Manchester United as we intend to put five goals past De Gea with Salah scoring a hatrick.

Thank you.
