I’m sure you’ve heard the saying ‘don’t think of what your country will do for you, think of what you will do for your country’’ my question is ‘why does your country want you do things for it/her?’ oh well…this article isn’t even about our/my/your/any country, I want to talk about our churches. I gisted you guys some time ago about how some people wanted to crucify me one Sunday because I said I didn’t go to church that day. I was talking to my best friend about how I plan to split my tithe into two because a lot of churches don’t help the people. They mostly use their money to beautify the structure, build it into a better looking one but neglect building up the people financially and materially.
A lot of people give to churches not because they were led by the spirit but because they were instructed by their pastor to do so. I’ve heard stories of how people got broke giving all they had to the church because their ‘daddy in the Lord’ or ‘mummy in the Lord’ instructed them to do so though mostly daddies. It’s very annoying hearing how people take advantage of another’s loyalty to them. You can’t take away people’s bread just because ‘man must not live by bread alone’. If you can’t give them bread, don’t take away their bread fraudulently.
I know that there are some churches that concern themselves with the well-being of their members but how many? I can count on one hand to be honest. Churches are becoming business ventures every day. They are still in the business of winning souls but the purpose behind the soul winning is no longer for the glory of God. More souls = more tithe, offering etc and if miracles can be wrought, the pastor of the church will have an overflow of money and gifts.
This doesn’t mean we shouldn’t go to church anymore. It only means we should be more logical when choosing a church. Pray for guidance, don’t just become a member in a church that won’t grow you spiritually, mentally and possibly materially. Don’t give and get broke because everyone is giving, let your giving be as a result of the Holy Spirit leading you. It is very okay to think of what your church will do for you and that is in fact the essence of this post.
