Although this message is a true reflection of current day affairs, there is something every single one of us needs to analyze closely and consider.
1) As I read it, I agreed with it. It brought back to mind the innumerable times I myself have commented, wrote, shared and testified messages just like this one.
2) Almighty God has been convicting me of such recently…by making me pause and take a hard close look at what these types of message produce. In no way is this directed toward the brother or sister that wrote it or posted it, this is directed at EVERY SINGLE BELIEVER IN JESUS CHRIST.
3) If you take 10mins to scroll through and read each and every comment on here, and ask yourself -what was the general response from the body of Christ? What is the overall message being conveyed from each and every respone written? Now remember I have already stated- I MYSELF AM GUILTY. Many many times.
From reading approx 95% of all the comments, a CLEARLY DEFINED PICTURE BEGAN to form of the condition of the body of Christ right now.
It is not a good one. Let us #1 first examine our own hearts and lives with a microscopic lens, and note down with a pen and paper all the current errors we make each day, mistakes, sins, failures, and then let us ask ourselves WHAT ARE WE DOING TO LEAD THE BODY OF CHRIST AT THIS PRESENT HOUR.
Share with us a list that details what ongoing WORK, projects, missions, responsibilities, you yourself are responsible for right now this day Sept 24th,2020. Without realizing it we have become exactly like news stations who spend 28 mins out of 30 reporting all that is wrong with the world, and 2 mins on a happy ending.
What is apparent is that at this present hour..we are acting just like those who are lost. Stirring contentions, criticizing, aiding and abetting the negativity that is cast upon our houses of God and our leaders. Pointing our fingers is sooooo easy, as we point them to make ourselves feel better about ourselves.
We better wake up. Cause let me DECLARE this now- Almighty God placed example after example after example in the LIVING BIBLE about the rebellious hearts of His own people Israel. His OWN CHOSEN PEOPLE. Which is the majority of those commenting on here. Therefore, those examples are there to SPEAK DIRECTLY TO US , not about some old people and what they did wrong…no sir, it is to remind each and every one of us of what WE OURSELVES ARE GUILTY OF.
Before we say: how could those israelites do such things, each one of us better go take a long look in the mirror.
Where are all the responses and comments that encourage? That Lead others by describing what can be done about this? How can we change this trend? What can we do to help? What are we doing to help? Where are all the people writing out prayers for our pastors, ministers? Missionary people? Church and community leaders? If YOU are so fed up with the corruption, greed, fake pastors, false churches, then tell us what are you doing about it? Going to do about it? Whom are you training ? Whom are you teaching? Whom are you defending?
Forgive me sincerely, for the directness but I am also at the receiving end of this message.
God bless and direct us all to be more mindful not to play into the hands of the enemy. Can you see it? The enemy is successfully able to manipulate current day believers onto hopping a rida onto his bandwagon of spreading negativity, condemnation, which does not grow Faith but diminishes it. It does not unify our nation, it divides it.
In Jesus name, we pray, Amen.
