When I was little, I hear about
few pastors who pray for the sick and they get healed, I hear about prophets,
evangelists and men of God who pray and the lame will walk, the blind will see,
the deaf will hear, the dumb will speak and even a dead person will come back
to life. People attend crusades with great expectations of getting so much
burdens and problems off their neck.
But these days, it is about the
richest pastors in the world, the richest pastors or men of God in Africa, the
richest pastors or men of God in Nigeria, the brand of cars they ride on, those
that have acquired private jet, those of them that has built the most
magnificent cathedrals, etc.
Miracles have become so rare.
People are being misinformed about God’s blessings and answers to prayers. People
are getting confused about God and his ways because they depend on these men of
God to know God’s ways instead of studying His Word.
Naij.com recently reported of a
South African Pastor that arrived in Rolls Royce, horses and police entourage to
enter his church. According to Naij.com, “A South African pastor and general
overseer of Alleluia Ministries International, Alph Lukau, is in the news after
he made a grand entry into the church premises. It was also reported that this
is not the first time he would make such an entry but it has become his
tradition, especially when he returns from a long trip”.
I wonder why many people are
still being deceived at this information age. Some Christians receive so much humiliation
in the name of deliverance. Yet their problems get worse. They sow seed only to
get poorer, yet they seem not to understand the handwriting on the wall. I
think that what Christians need these days is mental/mindset deliverance which
they may not get from the church but by reading the Word of God, linking it to
the present and asking God to help them understand through the Holy Spirit.
