Since Yesterday there has been a great debate, praises, ecomium poured on Pastor Eneche who build the biggest Auditorium in West Africa, and there has been dissent voices which I am among who felt it is not worth it .
Every one who is for and against has a great reason, but mine is what I am liable for, and my disagreement with such stems From..
Jesus the Man we disciple for, the Lord we Ape, the Author and the Teacher we emulate gave us a standard and he said we should not build our treasures on Earth where moths and Worms will invade them and render them useless, but he admonish us to build our stakes in Heaven..
I tried looking at Jesus to see where he located his Ministry but he seem to be a MOBILE PREACHER which we can say, that Stationary preaching was coined at his demise, which we can't called demise because he rose and alive and living in High place of all places.
Even his Direct Disciples never start such madness, they trek, they rove, they preach and they were not given to the current Pastorial madness.
He did not even have a roof over his head, talk less of building one with his name, he rather set a standard that no Pastor or Evangelist wants to beat.. He goes around healing the Sick, raising the dead, breathing new lives unto people.
He held Crusade on open field, and as against Today, during the time of Sowing of Seeds, Making Pledges so God will give you the wealth of ABRAHAM AND AND SOLOMON, without what they suffered as modern preachers will preach, he decided that he is THE LORD, he rather gave his own Offering by feeding 5,000 Men and Bible said NOT INCLUDING WOMEN AND CHILDREN, which we know that Women and children must be double of the Men.
If Christ had called any Preacher to have ministered on such Crowd, I can say without iota of doubt that the person would've started raising money and would've made sure that every body including any Cripple must fall into one category of giving.
Jesus did all the giving and the remnants, he did not take away but gave it back to the Boy who is the Provider.
Do not tell me that in the days of Jesus that there was no House, because he always go to people's houses, not once did they say he went back to his own house.
Somebody said that SOLOMON build a very Beautiful House for God, which is right, but Christ came to correct that, he want to let us know that he doesn't dwell inside your Brick and Marble Tiles, he lives in our Souls and Vacuum.
In the Days of Jesus who we disciple for, there is JERUSALEM and he has the powers to take over the place and make it his operational Base, but he gently distasted that Fraud, which made him to use KARATE, JUDO, TAEKWONDO AND BOXING to clear the place as he call them Den of thieves, I am sure where he seat in Heaven now and he will be searching for Churches on Earth, what he will be seeing are Urchins and not a Churches ...
You want God or Christ to come down to where a Pastor will reduce Christ or God to a fraud?, using his name to raise only money and never worried about repentant souls or the damned ones..
Preachers will remind you that Solomon gave a thousand Cattles and forced God's hand, they did not tell you that SOLOMON inherited great wealth from his Father David and that those Cattles and other things we called his wealth where money he stole from his subjects as TAXES, that was why.. 1st King Chapter 12 says and I provide "2And when Jeroboam son of Nebat heard of it--for he still dwelt in Egypt, where he had fled from King Solomon--[he] returned from Egypt.
3And they sent and called him, and Jeroboam and all the assembly of Israel came and said to Rehoboam,
4Your father made our yoke heavy; now therefore lighten the hard service and the heavy yoke your father put upon us, and we will serve you.
5He replied, Go away for three days and then return to me. So the people departed.
6And King Rehoboam consulted with the old men who stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived and said, How do you advise me to answer this people?
7And they said to him, If you will be a servant to this people today and serve them and answer them with good words, they will be your servants forever..
10The young men who grew up with him answered, To the people who told you, Your father made our yoke heavy, but you make it lighter for us--say this, My little finger shall be thicker than my father's loins.
11And now whereas my father loaded you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke. My father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions... End of quote..
Isrealites cried to the Son of Solomon about the Yoke of Tax the father placed on them, meaning that Solomon got his wealth as exploitation of his subjects, they lived in bondage under Solomon and it was so much on them that when the Son refused to remove the Burden, they made this pronouncement in Verse 16 of same chapter "
16So when all Israel saw that the king did not heed them, they answered the king, What portion have we in David? We have no inheritance in the son of Jesse. To your tents, O Israel! Look now to your own house, David! So Israel went to their tents."..
Solomon terror made Isreal to divide which has never been done, but modern Pastors will quote him as inspiration of exploitation and will take away all the money in the pocket of the Poor.
Jesus never own a Donkey nor a Boat, he always borrow one, he never ask anybody to forfeit his or hers, rather he went about doing great, but all the Preachers today cannot Trek, they think they have more anointing that Christ, they think because they can preach CON rather than Christ, so they must change the laid down principle which is serving Christ with Humility, today how many Pastors know the house of poor but dedicated worker in the Vine yard?
Pastors ride the best Cars and some on Convoys, some cruise in Airplane and some build School that not more than 5 person in his Church can afford to school there or send the children there for schooling and yet they still think that Heaven is for them..
One of the discussants opined that if Christ wasn't Rich, he wouldn't have Treasurer who is Judas, well let me also clear that, if his Ministry was Rich he wouldn't have turned his Disciples back to Fishermen again when the Government ask him for TAX, he would've directed the treasurer to pay up, but they went fishing to raise money and pay.
Some of this Pastors has lost confidence in God, Angels they doubt the Power of Christ and his security that is why you see a Man who said he is MAN OF GOD, he goes about with ARMED MOBILE POLICE OR ARMY, the Security do not even have to be a Church Goer, talk less of a Christian, but the Preacher reposed so much confidence on the Gun and Canal Security than in Angels who he pretend to preach.
They lost confidence on the protection of God, and they have falling in Love with Police Commissioner who has no record of agreeing with God, not to talk about being a Christian.. Most of the security detailed to them are Muslims.
So if they have more confidence in the protection of Armed infidels, then it means whatever they told us about God is fake and great Con..
Elisha of the Bible days was surrounded by hostile enemies and Gehezhai his servant panicked but Elisha prayed and he saw that he that is with us and mostly a prophet is more than those against.. 2nd King..
"15When the servant of the man of God rose early and went out, behold, an army with horses and chariots was around the city. Elisha's servant said to him, Alas, my master! What shall we do?
16[Elisha] answered, Fear not; for those with us are more than those with them.
17Then Elisha prayed, Lord, I pray You, open his eyes that he may see. And the Lord opened the young man's eyes, and he saw, and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.
18And when the Syrians came down to him, Elisha prayed to the Lord, Smite this people with blindness, I pray You. And God smote them with blindness, as Elisha asked."..
Show me any man of God today that allows God to handle his situation or predicament again in this generation?
They are more comfortable with the Police and Army that parade with them making them to feel like Super Stars and Actors but never like a Servant of God.
Now back to the Edifice, how can God dwell in this houses where Poverty cries to high Heaven from the BOSSOM of the worshippers in same Edifice? , while the Pastors and his own smiles to the Bank and cruising in Brand New Cars whereas the members trend in latest Hardship and the Pastors will always tell them "God will provide", when the Pastors believe that the Church members must provide his own and not God.
Why are we building our castles here on earth?, let's read Mathew 6..
"19Do not [p]gather and heap up and store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust and worm consume and destroy, and where thieves break through and steal.
20But [q]gather and heap up and store for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust nor worm consume and destroy, and where thieves do not break through and steal;".. End of quotes.
What we need as Christians here on Earth is to put smiles on Faces of the down throden, wipe away tears from struggling Pastors who has been asking, if the God they Worship is different from the ones this SHINE SHINES Pastors worship.
Because of this glorifying Money and wealth, many Spirit filled Pastors has back sliding and I am sure the sins are on the head of this one who made them to back slide, many people has turned to Pastors just to join flamboyancy and to make it large, they have consorted with Satan and eat the Poisoned Chalice.
The fund wasted on building Heaven on Earth would suffice if taking apart and reduced poverty from the same congregation of same Church and when all the congregations are well off, there is always put of school children of Christian parents in the Church down the street, and how do we preach to them that our God is good, whereas they have not tasted such?
Unless Pastors are no longer interested in Heaven or Biblical standard, then they can live as they wish, but if they still preach Christ but behave like Politicians, then Utali Jisos ga apiwasi fa azu, otu na otu.
This is Mazi Odera POg doing what the Greatest Almighty God deployed me to do, preaching undiluted sermon both in Politics and Ecclesiastical world.
