Looking For God

 

God, can you still understand us here?

I grow up knowing that there's a place where any type if human can go for help and rescue

I look forward to going to church every Sunday

I would dance my heart out with no money in my pocket

I would go back home feeling so happy and fulfilled

But as I grow older, church becomes so different

It started looking like what I can't fathom

It becomes the more you give, the more familiar your face would become to the "man of God"

You give little you are known little

You have nothing, you mean nothing

Church becomes all about the clique you belong

It becomes so hard to have a church if you have no job because tithe has to be paid hence you are not yet a bonafide member

Those days you put money in the offering basket without even your left hand knowing what you give to GOD but now people give to "God" with their full names boldly written on it

Hmmmm! I am like

“Who is this accountability to God or Man of God?”

Hmmmm! God I just hope you still understand, at least that the world is now highly civilized and that everything has changed to the world standard and not the Bible's way

When you go to the club, everybody leaves without anyone back biting but now the church is the headquarter of gossips, each clique gossiping about another

God I hope you still understand?

Church has now become a weekly red carpet if you don't have those outstanding clothes, maybe you should consider doing your own service with your family at home

Church that I read about in the Bible

Is supposed to mend your broken life and help be the best in your walk with God but now consider bringing enough money if you need to even see the friendly side of the man of God

Most churches now teach you prosperity just for you to bring your tithe and if you do otherwise you are in the black book of the man of God

Every church has the interpretation of the bible according to their conveniences

God I just hope you still understand that the man of God needs to gather wealth?

Jesus, according to what we read in the bible, He always shield His people and provide for them in many ways but now the congregation must take the heat and shield the man of God

Man of God would collect money from politicians and command his congregation to vote for a preferred candidate because he would claim that God has told him to

God, do you still understand this man of God?

Pride, preference, deceit, gossips, fornication, adultery, indecency and all countless evils now reside in the church yet the man of God can't see

He can only see the checks, the envelopes, the luxurious gifts and the "big men" in the church

Kabiyesi olodumare!!!

YOU have said that in your word that when you come back

Will you meet faith on earth?

Also that the judgment would start from the church

Now I know why you said that

The church is filled with evils and the people who should say the truth are the ones deceiving the people!

God, I just hope you still understand us?

When I say I can't even tell who the man of God is

I hope you know I sincerely don't know?

God, I hope you still understand us?

If I remember correctly, the unbelievers named people who act like Christ Christians

But now people's acts don't portray their Christianity anymore instead it's part of their introduction

“I am a Christian”

Unbelievers now rejoice at our follies

Oh come come! See them that said they are Christians

Hmmmm! My Lord, my God

I hope you can still understand everything!!!

That Building Is Not The Church

 

The Church is actually YOU

#GodNoDeyLiveForChurch

Let's do this real quick before people start calling me a pastor...I am not one and going by the current definition of that profession, I don't think I'll ever want to be one... Just like Jesus, call me Rabi.

I'm that kinda brother that has a weakness for everything God made, yes I'm totally natural but there is this thing with Hennessey VSoP that makes me assume it's natural, I guess it's the fact that I've convinced myself that what Jesus did was convert a normal "shayo" to the VSoP version of it in Canaan on that fateful day he launched His arrival with an induced miracle... Now I get it, the water was turned to a supernatural "shayo", now I know why, Hennessey VSoP must be supernatural.

Before I distract you away from why I choose to continue with my father's business today, must first of all clearly say this without fear of favour all over again God No Dey Live For Church #GodNoDeyLiveForChurch.

When Christ completed his redemptive mission here on Earth, He handed things over to the spirit form of the Godhead "The Holy Spirit" whose first interaction with his apostles was recorded in the upper room saga in the year of our Lord AD. When the outpouring of the spirit occurred, it was in a meeting well attended one and from the rumour recorded in ACT 2, it was witnessed by both Jews and the Gentiles, and I'm almost sure an Igbo man must have been dear interpreting when Peter started speaking in Igbo language. According to the acts recorded, the entrance of the Holy Spirit did not possess the building or the vessels present in the upper room, it entered into the apostles and manifested expressly in them for all to see. I'm almost sure that nobody went back to the upper room to offer some form of special prayers in it or use it as a point of contact or  some form ritualistic shrine out of it for the Holy Spirit because they knew that God was in them and not in the building #GodNoDeyLiveForChurch

"The veil is torn, the stone is rolled, Hallelujah! Jesus has risen...". I'm sure nobody is worshiping in His tomb today.

The finished work of Christ broke the veil of the temple, revealing the former holy of holies to all and establishing the high priesthood of Jesus ultimately. 40 years after his death, the temple was destroyed as he had prophesied and the genealogy of the Levites were lost with it. It became obvious that he meant it when he terminated the contract that existed between God and the buildings of stone, concrete and clay that was instituted by God himself initially. The purpose of the temples and altars were for offering sacrifices of redemption and for burnt offerings for the atonement of sins, but when Christ redeemed all, the altar was no longer required, our High Priest had chosen a new temple which was and is still the heart of you and me, applicable to only those who open when he comes knocking.

If the temples were destroyed as an indicator of the end of the era of sin and sacrifices to usher in a new age that was won by the death and resurrection of Christ, why then are we still building temples, monument and cathedrals in the name of Jesus Christ? You're surprised? I am Flabberwhelmed and Overghasted. Even the early church and apostles were constantly in motion with no permanent building or kiosk, the meeting and fellowship was more important than the venue.

Why then do we build large span of brick, metal and mortar for the purpose of business and in the name of God, only opened when there is offerings to be receive, tithes to be demanded and once we are done, we put it under locks and keys while Jesus is locked out in the cold harley, wrapped in cardboard and begging for alms? He said in his words that "Whatsoever you do to the needs of thy brother, you have done it to me"

He reminded us of this days when he said "When I was sick, you didn't help me, when I was in Prison,  you didn't visit me, when I was homeless, you locked your door on me and when I was hungry you didn't give me to eat" and we asked when did we did we do all this things and the answer is right above.

What is the purpose of a cathedral of 3km2 when Jesus is out in the cold desolate, what is the purpose of a church when his real temple, your heart lies in ruin, explain it to me, why build such a large dwelling and luck it up in the name of Jesus when he neither lives in it nor have any interest in it while the real church is abandoned to waste under the bridge in Oshodi.

God does not live in building made with hands, it was quite clearly stated in Acts 17:23-26 with reasons so there is absolutely nothing sacred about a church building or the more admonished altar, it was not built for God in the first place so you won't find Him living in any of such properties. You are the church, the house that God is building and he's only interested in living in your heart. 2Chro 2:6 says

"But who is able to build him an house, seeing the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain him? who am I then, that I should build him an house, save only to burn sacrifice before him?"

Remember He what he said in Matt 18:19-20

"Again I say to you, that if two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask, it shall be done for them by My Father who is in heaven. For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst."

and not.." wherever a multitude is gathered in an auditorium", all you need to declare heaven on earth is your neighbour or a friend and not a pastor. He will definitely honour His words when two or thousands are gathered in anywhere in His name whether canopy or auditorium, but when you are done, He's no longer there, He left with you and me and wherever the meeting is held is just a building that God has no spiritual or physical connection with #GodNoDeyLiveForChurch

Stop running to the mountains, He's already in you, stop rolling before any vane altar, you are His altar and temple, let's build a shelter for God by building homes for the homeless and the needy, that is the only time you are building a house for God. God does not live in Deeper Life camp, Redemption Camp, MFM prayer city, Canaan Land and co, #GodNoDeyLiveForChurch, if we really want God to live in those places, let's open it up for the homeless and those who cannot afford a plot in Haggai or Shiloh, that is when God will really move into camp. The only plot or altar he wants to live in is your heart.

The Definition and Purpose of Tithe

 

Well today is Monday and I'm out to get it done but before I do, I want to do my father's business a little more.

For those that have been defending their pastors opinion on the issue of tithing over the redemptive sacrifice of Christ after reading my post, I want to clarify some things before asking some very interesting question.

Do you know that the purpose of tithe is not for God to bless you or for supporting God's work but rather, it's an exercise of the law for showing that you "REGARD AND FEAR THE LORD YOUR GOD"

In Deut 14:23, the Bible clearly says EAT your tithe before the Lord SO THAT YOU CAN FEAR HIM.

In Deut 14:26 it repeated it again saying if you can't carry the cassava and cocoyam, convert it to money and use it to eat rice, drink wine and 'ogogoro' and you can even use it to carry 'ashewo' if you soul lust after one, at that point, you are covered because it's tithing.

In Deut 14: 27 & 29 it clearly says when your belly is full, you should remember the Levites (not a pastor because they have no inheritance among you) also the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow because they are really the ones in need.

Here are my questions and I need clear answers.

1. The Lord clearly says "Eat before Me so that you can fear Me" why are you not eating your tithe? That's direct disobedience! Isn't that telling God directly that "I DON'T REGARD OR FEAR YOU?"

2. Your excuse is that you cannot carry yam abi, fine, there is room to convert it to money but according to Lev 27:31 "If you want to buy back the LORD's tenth of the grain or fruit, you must pay its value, plus 20 percent." so that's now 30%. The interesting thing is that you must still eat everything before the Lord SO THAT YOU CAN FEAR HIM. That's 30%, so if you are bringing money, you should be presenting 30% that you must blow once on whatever your soul desire, Ogogoro included. 

The question is "Have you been eating that 30% at once as the Lord instructed in the Bible?" If you haven't been doing that, do you know you've be telling God "I DON'T REGARD OR FEAR YOU"?

3. There are four set of people entitled to the leftover of your tithe eating exercise, The Levites, Stranger, Widow and Fatherless. Your pastor is obviously not a levite, even Jesus is not one. So if your pastor is not a helpless stranger, widow/widower, or orpahn, why is he the only one screaming the songs of tithe in cash. Why is your pastor the one raining fake curses and suspended prayers on the topic of tithe when he's not even entitled to it by any or all definition?

4. Lastly I will like to know, if your pastor had told you that tithing is just for you to show that you FEAR THE LORD and that no blessing is attached to it, will you be paying it?

Believe me, tithing is not an avenue to blessings, it is illegal in the body of Christ and any pastor that comes to preach Jesus to you and still ask you for tithe is a con-artist from the pit of hell, there are no better words to describe such a person. The fact that tithing is popular does not make it right.

Anyways, I am expecting your answers but before you do, remember this. 

If you want to give your money to God, do it right, give it to the stranger, fatherless and the widow, I can guarantee you that God will receive it and credit your earthly and heavenly account with interest. If you want to support God's work here on earth, please do by supporting His missionaries and outreaches, not by donating to a church building that means nothing to Jesus and no effect on the kingdom of God. Don't label it a tight, give without measures.

As long as it is the truth

Good Morning!

Don't Give That Conned Artist Your Money, God No Dey Collect Tithe Again.

If you go to church tomorrow, dance to the altar, singing and praising as you drop your money (earned or stolen) in the name of tithing, I just need to let you know that you'll be doing what the Yorubas describe as "Sanwo Mugu" aka "Sanwo S'ade Oyo" i.e you're dropping "Sara Money" into the account of some already rich dude.

Just so you know, your pastor is not eligible under any Biblical ordinance to receive, accept or collect tithe on behalf of God. According to the Bible, even Jesus Christ himself is not eligible to collect tithe because he's neither a Levite nor connected in any way to the levitical order, neither are his apostles and there is no record of any of them collecting one.

According to my Bible, Jesus ended the Levitical Order and became my High Priest. If my earthly and heavenly high priest in Jesus is not biblically eligible to collect tithe, who the 'eff is your pastor demanding such. If Jesus said the temple is no longer required and that it will be destroyed and it happened, how come this rent seekers are going around recreating what Jesus ended and died for so that you and I can be saved, are they not just telling you and me that "Jesus Died For Nothing"

Don't be deceived by miracles, it's not a sign of being connected to the throne of grace and mercy, it is just a manifestation of the spiritual in the physical and has nothing to do with being a man of God. Jesus made it clear that he will deny this lots when He returns (check Matt 7:22) so miracle is not the truth, the word of God is the truth.

A Levite is a man dedicated to the service of God, he has no inheritance and no claim to one and such men longer exist in the world of today, even in Israel that your pastors and bishops go for holy pilgrimages. If your pastor is not from Israel, not from the house of Levi, owns a car, a house and the plot of land housing the business centre called church belongs to him, let's call a spade a spade, HE'S A THIEF AND A LIAR.

If you doubt me, ask your pastor tomorrow, say it loud when you ask and use this exact words. "Sir, do the people of Israel, living in the holy lands of Galilee, Bethlehem and the likes pay tithe?". If he's not going to tell you another lie, his first answer should be a capital "NO", anything beyond that word is a way to find a way to cover up his lies about the money he's been stealing from you in the name of tithes and offering.

The only time your money gets to God is when you give to the poor, that is why He has blessed you with what you have not so that you can give to your pastor.

God no dey live for church, He doesn't need your tithe to bless you, He wants you to express his love to those who really need it and not those living fat on your miserable misery. Hear this my brothers and sisters... The book of Malachi was not written to you, it was written to Israel, the priest and levites... when your pastor is quick to open Mal 3:10, ask him or her, if those verses were addressed you or the priest and levites as it is indicated, read through Malachi and ask yourself, how is offering blind, lame or diseased animals for sacrifice applicable to me after Jesus already did the ultimate sacrifice with is life for me. When your pastors is quick to breeze to Mal 3:10, he's oppressing you and this is what the Lord has to say.

Prov 22:16-17 says: He who oppresses the poor to make more for himself Or who gives to the rich, will only come to poverty. 17Incline your ear and hear the words of the wise, And apply your mind to my knowledge

Do not be conned by this conned artist in suits, garments and robes. Study to show thyself approved, read the Bible like a novel and you will still the truth within, read it spirit filled and you will receive revelations through God's word.

If things are tight, use your brain, work, earn, grow. Paying tithe will never stop things from being tight... All those cock and bull story you hear about paying tight and experiencing financial explosion na cheap story. God does not need your incentives to bless you. Jara e!

 

Remember I once told you that I ate my tight, I'm still eating it and I'm already growing some pot belly. Here's the link to that true story. >>> I ATE MY TITHE


Selah!
