THE GOSPEL OF ANXIOUS MEN

There was a time when the people of God took no thought for their lives,
For they knew that the One who called them was the Keeper of their days.

But now…
There is a new wisdom in the sanctuary.
It is not the wisdom from above
It is the logic of self-preservation.

They stand in pulpits and whisper softly, “Be wise… be careful… secure yourself first.”
But Heaven hears the hiss of another garden serpent
The same voice that once said, “Has God really said?

And the people nod, forgetting the words of the King:
“Take no thought for your life… your Father knows.”

This is not harmless advice.
It is the slow mutilation of faith.
It is the turning of shepherds into survival coaches.
It is the recasting of fear as maturity
And unbelief as prudence.

Jude spoke of them long ago
Men marked for judgment long before you knew their names.
They crept in unannounced,
Not to strip away your Bible,
But to rewrite it in your mind.

You will not hear them deny the Lord outright.
No they deny Him by teaching you to trust your own hands first.
They call fear “wisdom,”
And they label doubt “responsibility.”

They will not curse Christ no, they wear His name.
They will not deny the Kingdom they will just redefine it.
And in their redefinition, the cross becomes optional,
The narrow way becomes negotiable,
And “following the Spirit” becomes “following common sense.”

Do you not see?
This is another gospel.
One that keeps the language of the Kingdom
But replaces its posture.
One where Christ reigns in our prayers,
But self-reliance rules our decisions.

Hear me:
When a man teaches you to depend on your own wisdom before you lean on God,
He has already taught you idolatry
And you have learned it with a smile.

The tragedy is not that wolves roam the flock,
But that shepherds are teaching sheep to graze without listening for the voice.

This is the gospel that keeps you safe,
But makes you useless in the hands of Heaven.
It will not make martyrs.
It will not make intercessors.
It will not make soldiers.
It will only make Babes
Well-dressed, well-advised.

Beloved, if you must prepare, prepare to obey.
If you must plan, plan to follow when the map runs out.
For the man who leans on his own foresight
Has already forgotten the God who sees tomorrow.

Faith is not ignorance it is surrender.
It is the laying down of your own calculations
In the confidence that His wisdom is perfect.

For the moment you begin to “think like the world,”
You will soon live like the world.
And a Church that survives by worldly logic
Will Deny The Power of The LORD.

Before we raise a generation that prays to Christ
But trusts entirely in themselves,
Let us cry aloud:
Return to the Shepherd.
Return to the faith that steps when the waters have not yet parted.

The more I go to church, the more I feel like I am in the wrong place.

Plenty religious activities but no Godliness.

The word "Church" in the Bible doesn't refer to the building where people gather to worship rather it means the congregants themselves so if you truly want to know what Christianity means just go into your private room, go on your knees and pray to God you need to be specific in this prayer so tell Him to send His true worshipers to you.
I'm sure they will locate you before this week runs out but don't just stop there ask them thought provoking questions regarding your past experience in places of worship and what Jesus really taught! Matthew 7:7 compare to Proverbs 2:2-5
If you haven't seen any group of people whose worship is not about money that means you have been mingling with the worshipers of Mammon not true Christians {Matthew 6:19-24} so don't go about with the teachings you got from worshipers of Mammon expecting true Christians to have the same beliefs! Matthew 16:6-12

There is nothing like Bible believing church it's just another way to say "find the one that suit your thinking" there is only one group of Christians they will find you and not the other way around because Jesus commanded them to come to your home and speak to you! Matthew 10:11-13
So if you think religious gatherings where people just walk in due to what they like is Christianity then you have been thoroughly deceived Christianity is about understanding what Jesus taught and how to go about helping others through your words and actions that's the only way you can help others not just telling them what to do! 1Timothy 4:15-16
May you have peace!

Thank you very much. A Christians action should imitate that of Christ while he was here on earth.

Today I see Christians who fight, disrespect, slander, destroy , steal, scheme, mock others, fornicate, steal, defraud and engage in vodoo without any iota of guilt. And go on like nothing is wrong at all to the point that I can't trust one single person in the whole church at all.

My own Christian upbringing and my fathers example makes it hard for me to accept it as the norm and I am seriously fed up with church.

If I want to be among wayward people make I kuku know sey na there I dey.

The highlighted shows you were raised by people who thought they practiced Christianity though such individuals were sincere with their beliefs but the truth there is an ongoing separation of fine seeds from weeds this began a century ago and as times pass by fine seeds are gathered into the store house and weeds gathered in bundles! Matthew 13:24-30
Note that Jesus said fine seeds are STORED in his ban and the weeds are also gathered in BUNDLES this means that true believers in Christ are all gathered into one ORGANIZATION while counterfeit Christians form different religions claiming DENOMINATIONS.
So this is the time for you to know what Jesus said about the IDENTIFYING MARK of his real disciples during the endtime!

Let me tell you few for now so that if you want to know more we can continue later.

Malachi said:

Then those who feared the Lord talked with each other, and the Lord listened and heard. A scroll of remembrance was written in his presence concerning those who feared the Lord and honored his name. ‭Malachi 3:16 NIV‬
This means in the endtime names of faithful people will be written in a book!
He continued:

And you will again see the distinction between the righteous and the wicked, between those who serve God and those who do not. ‭Malachi 3:18 NIV‬

Regarding this Jesus gave us a PARABLE of fine seeds and weeds but how are you going to IDENTIFY the fine seeds just as Malachi 3:18 said?

Jesus said to his disciples:

"I am giving you a new commandment, that you love one another; just as I have loved you, you also love one another. By this all will know that you are my disciples—if you have love among yourselves.” John 13:34-35

So what is their identifying mark?

Jesus said they will have LOVE among themselves and people will testify that this group love their fellow believers!
