Christians Lack Reverence For The Things Of God

-


Do you remember in the Bible when Jesus destroyed and trashed the temple because the members turned into a market stall? Matthew 21. A lot of us Christians do this today we may not be doing cash and carry services in our community but we are doing this spiritually. 


I remember I was with my friends and some other youths and we were waiting for our youth service to start we were talking, laughing and joking until our youth pastor came in scathing and rebuking us mentioning Matthew 21, that we are doing what the people did in the above chapter, we realised we should've been in spirit and sanctified for the sermon. A lot of Christian's myself including can have no zeal or reverence for the things of God, How do we do this? We do this by purposely coming late to church, treating the church as a youth/social club if you want to socialise with our fellow church friends we do this outside of the church, when we litter in church, when we don't respect the things of the church, I.E misusing the church toilets, making the church dirty, we also do this with our spiritual lives when we don't fast, we don't pray, we misquote and blaspheme the Bible to suit our selfish agendas and last but not least when we don't look after our own Bible's they're dusty, there are all sorts of stains on your holy book really guys? How do we expect God to bless and exalt us if we can't even respect the things of God?  This is how we spiritually treat our faith like a supermarket just like the believers did in Matthew 21.


I'm not here to be in your business or criticise your faith, because I've done these things and could have more zeal in my life no one is perfect, I write today's blog because I want us Christians to do better, conduct our faith better because if there's no zeal then there's no passion in our walk with God, then we become auto-pilot robots as Romans 12:11 says "Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord." Sadly from this verse I've seen many Christian & evangelical leaders become slothful in their zeal and now they're ex Christians, remember like I said when something is not done with passion it's pointless. 

Until next time guys, thanks for reading my blog if you have any queries about my blogs or want to know more about Christianity

Church Hurt

Church Hurt   For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11 For week’s I didn’t know how to start this blog, as many pushed me to do this blog, because church hurt is a sensitive subject to talk about where many have given up, many are bitter and many like me, not anymore gave up on the church and questioned the Christian community (DISCLAIMER - THIS IS NOT TO EXPOSE ANYONE WHO I FELT ATTACKED BY AS NAMES/ORGANISATIONS WON’T BE MENTIONED THIS IS TO HELP NOT PUT DOWN OR CRITICIZE). So let’s get down to the nitty gritty. I got over my church hurt 5 years ago, and I compare church hurt to one of Killmonger (Yh I’m using a Black Panther analogy, don’t cry, don’t beg about spoilers you’ve had more than a month to watch it!!!! Lool) so back to my point Killmonger is those who’ve gone through church hurt, Killmonger who is Black Panther’s long lost cousin and arch nemesis

Spiritual Priorities

If you ask me "what's the main principle of being a Christian?" I would tell you it's to put God and the things of God FIRST!!!!!!! But this is the thing that I don't see much of Christians in this era, most of us don't value our spiritual priorities or sadly don't have any. What do I mean by spiritual priorities? It's how we prioritize the things of God and how we serve God in our day to day lives. This is what saddens me, slowly and slowly many Christians put God and their faith as the last thing on their list of priorities. There's always an excuse why we didn't go to church, why we didn't pray, why we don't seek or fast and so on and so on, because we put our lives, the things of this world and our busy schedules before God. Okay it doesn't help that we live in the era of technology and demanding work and commitment schedules in life but surely if we serve a great God surely we can make time for him in a 24 hour day???

The Spirit Of Disobedience

"But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people." 2 Timothy 3:1-7   If you asked what is the reason or the biggest sin that takes Christians, people away from God? I would say justification of living in sin and when you're living in sin on PURPOSE you are disobeying God. In the word it says we shouldn't do A to Z but in in today times where even many Christian authorities disobey the ways of God. This is why there is many sorry to say many lost, weak Christians in the world. Okay we all have different spiritual journeys we all take time and move in differe
