Let's Be Careful

There is a saying that we should not throw away the baby together with the dirty water. This wisdom statement is precautionary to forewarn about how to deal with delicate issues especially when discuss issues concerning the church.

The lifestyles of certain ministers have caused people to condemn tithing in a manner which has affected general giving towards missions everywhere. I guess the devil is the winner in this case.

If your faith has been fractured about tithing to the extent you have stopped or reduced your contribution to the church, yet you are still in the church, then shame unto you.

The best teaching aught have been giving more to the church today than the Old Testament era. The difference is, tithes were sent to the storehouse within the sanctuary primarily for the welfare of the priests and the Levites.

But today whatever you give to the church call it any name is used to pay rents, ultilities, salaries, maintenance, church vehicles, missions, humanitarian acts etc. Now it is hard to go on misions for lack of financial support.

Therefore, we do less evangelist activities. For all you know other religions are receiving very heavy supports even from whole nations. These religions are competing and want to overtake Christianity.

We need to wake up: we are all what we have. Let us stop stereotype discussion on ministers because not every minister is corrupt. Giving is essential to promote church growth.

The only hope the world has is the church despite anything. Whether we believe or not God will not do anything today except by the intercession of the church.

The devil hates to see the church grow but Jesus our Chief Shepherd has declared emphatically thus: "the gates of hell (death) shall not prevail against it" It means the church is "unkillable" She may be transformed but not stopped.

That's why whenever an old church becomes corrupted like a dying tree, "mushroom" grows out of it, new revival breaks out with a splinter from the old church: the mushroom churches becomes "MUCHROOM" and a new denomination starts.

Those within the church who become tools in the hands of the enemy shall fall on the Rock, the Chief Cornerstone and be scatted into oblivion. The church is the only representation of God on earth and He will do nothing on earth except through the church or except the church has prays.

The Salt of the earth must not loose its saltness though it could be diluted in the same manner that honey shall not loose it sweetness. When the light of the earth is dimmed the whole earth dies in the darkness.

In these days and age the prophecy is: "the people who know their God shall sparkle like stars in the darkness; they shall be strong and do exploits" Hence the church is the only hope of the earth and we must all do well and consciously build it and not destroy it by any any means.

For a while I have been concerned with lack of support for the ministry. My last trip to the mission field was from February to May, 2017. The efforts were curtailed by lack of financial resources especially in the area of transportation since I traveled to the rural areas with very rough roads.

There are a lot of work to be done even as the coming of the Lord draws near. Poverty, diseases, teenage pregnancy, lack of infrastructural development etc are all contributing to people not opening up to the gospel; yet could be exploited to enhance the same.

I am appealing to anybody who can help set a mechanism to take donations to help future mission trip. I would be gone today if support is available. The Lord is coming soon, the fields are white, the harvest is ready and plentiful but the laborers are few.

Today very few talk and engage in real evangelism and discipleship: how can the they call upon the Lord they have not believed in; how could they believe when they have not heard about Him; how could they hear except somebody go tell them.

Then finally how could somebody go without being sent by God and you with your support. Jesus' experience of this is recorded in Luke 8:1 - 3. Some women followed and supported Jesus with their own substance: What about you, my friend. Let's build together.
