In those good old
days, you can clearly distinguish a Christian from an unbeliever. But today,
the church is becoming worldly while the world is becoming churchy.
People give their
lives to Christ on Sunday morning and in the evening they retrieve their lives
from Christ and head towards the nearest hotel or beer parlour!!! Personally, I
blame our pastors for this.
During church
services, you hear pastors saying “if you don’t pay your tithe, things must be
tithe for you” and then I ask them “show me where it is written in the bible”. It
is really painful to see pastors emphasising on tithes and lay little emphasis
on the salvation of souls.
A pastor once told
me “my son, empty your account and bring it to the church” and I asked him “sir,
are you an insurance company?” Why must I empty my account and bring it to the
church when there are poor people around me who are desperately in need?
Nowadays, the church
would organize a programme and invite patience ozokwor as a guest minister!!!!
Na wa ooooooo. Pastors do this because they know that many people would turn up
for the programme just to see the nollywood actress; the more people turn up,
the more tithes and offerings are being collected.
Prior to this time,
the focus of the church was “heaven” and when a programme is organised, the
theme is usually “heaven and hell is real” But these days, a 21st
century pastor would organise a programme and you see these kinds of themes
1. back to back,
your enemies must die!!!!
2. that devil is a
mother fucker
3. become prosperous
or die trying
4. leave me alone and
let me drive my car, etc
Some of you might
criticise my opinion but ask yourself these question “You pay your tithes to
the church; from the income generated, the church builds schools and yet the
poor members of the church cannot afford the school fees. In your honest
opinion, do you think this is right?”
The church is
supposed to be a place of worship for Christians to learn from the bible and
try to be Christ-like and not a place where pastors enrich themselves, buy
exotic cars or even private jets.
