One of my very pretty and intelligent ex girlfriends who moved to Europe and became a porn star…
And was planning to bring her pornographic movie production into Nigeria was once a chorister and usher in a church…
Unfortunately, she is dead now, though I don’t know what killed her…
My friend that was buried alive with some of his men was once a chorister and keyboardist in a church …
Another of my friend who was killed by the police during arm robbery operation in our university days was once an altar boy in church …
I remember that all of these people had issues with people in the church and they got angry and left…
They loved God so much…
But Satan lied to them that there is a perfect church somewhere and they went in search…
But when they met several disappointments, they lost hope and retired back to the streets and we were there swimming in immorality and terrible addictions …
I remember us sitting down on Sunday mornings, condemning church people…
Calling all of them hypocrites…
Thank God the mercy of God alone preserved me, but, unfortunately, some of those my multi talented friends were destroyed…
Friends, Satan is not happy with the man that God made…
He is ready to let you stop going to church because of a fellow church membet so that He will have a lot of time to lure you out and deal with you…
I pray those my friends made heaven, but if they made hell, what an eternal regret they are facing where they are now…
It is true that many in church are not born again …
It is true that some of us pastors are worse than those we are preaching to…
But that voice that is pushing you to leave church and go back to your the streets is calculating to send you straight to hell…
David saw all those hypocrites in church and yet, he was often glad whenever it was time to go to the house of the Lord…
God knows that Zion is filled with terrible persons, yet, He said that out of Zion shall be deliverance and holiness and people shall posses their possessions…
The man that told you that all the church in your area are fake might be worse than all those he is calling out…
But, he might have deep encounters tomorrow and rent a hall and start a church in that same street…
But by then, he would have talked you out of Zion …
Nobody heard the names of all those that were following Saul around, killing believers…
He led them astray with his unbridled zeal and was later seperated by encounter…
Go to church… Join a department… But expect the worse…
You may never know the protection you are enjoying from God through your fellowship with brethren…
When they tell you that your pastor is a fraud, tell them that you already know…
But the God you are going there to serve is not a fraud…
When they say that all the guys in that church are womanizers, tell them that you already know…
But the God you are going to worship is not a womanizer…
Don’t forget to let them know that you too might not be a fruad or a womanizer…
But, you have your own area that you are trusting God to help you…
So, tell them that you are only going to church to fellowship with brethren that also have seperate things they are dealing with…
So, the church is a gathering of people brought together by differnt weaknesses, trusting for God to make them better than they were yesterday…
Can I beg you to get ready to be disappointed more in church?…
Can I tell you to be ready to hear more terrible things about some people you respect a lot in church?…
But can I pray for you now?…
May you not allow any kind of offence in church to throw you into the arms of destruction…
In Jesus Name!
