5 SIGNS TO KNOW IF YOUR CHURCH IS UNHEALTHY

I encourage you to share this article on Facebook and other social network to create a conversation within your personal network of ministry friends. There is no such thing as a “perfect” church. Honestly, there will never be a perfect church because the people who occupy the church are imperfect. The only thing perfect in church is the message and purity of the Gospel. Though there is no perfect church, there are healthy and unhealthy churches. I have been in church literally my entire life, so I have seen the great, the good, the bad and the downright ugly. After witnessing and having endless discussions about the church culture, I have compiled a list of five signs that signal you are a part of an unhealthy church.

1. Leadership Does Not Have a Clear Vision. Proverbs 29:18 states, “Where there is no vision, the people perish.” A church whose leadership has not explained or formed a vision that states, “This is who we are, this is where we’re going, and this is how we’re going to get there,” is unhealthy in the highest form. How can a church or any organization function or truly exist without vision? Jesus was the ultimate vision-caster. He stated his vision for not only what the church should look like, but, ultimately, what the role of the church is and its purpose. Unfortunately, I have seen churches that had no mission and absolutely no vision, and Scripture is 100 percent correct; the people did perish. If you don’t know what the mission and vision is of your church, chances are you are in an unhealthy church. Additionally, if your church has a mission and vision statement, but you don’t see the mission and vision being executed within the church’s setup and organizational structure, programs and/or ministries that are offered, you are probably in an unhealthy church.

2. Leadership Can Never be Challenged. If you are part of a church where leadership can never be questioned or challenged, run! I have witnessed this, and I can tell you this will not end very well. Please remember, church leaders are there to cast vision and to steer the church in the direction to which God is leading. Church leaders are not and should not be dictators. What I mean is this; members should never fear asking a question against a proposed idea or direction from leadership in the church. With that being said, there should also be a level of respect given when challenging church leadership. The key is to be concerned, not confrontational. Ultimately, you should be able to ask questions regarding where your church is headed without feeling fearful of church leadership.

3. You are Comfortable, but Never Convicted. If you are attending a church and you have a) never been convicted b) never been offended in your sin when the Gospel is preached or taught, hightail it out of there! It is very dangerous when a church’s preaching and teaching team operates in what I call the “Ren and Stimpy Theology.” What I mean by this is every sermon and lesson that comes from the preaching/teaching team is always “happy, happy, joy, joy,” but there are never heart-piercing, convicting messages that will challenge people. Church shouldn’t be designed to just make you feel warm and fuzzy on the inside, but church should be there to bring conviction through the Word of God to bring correction in a person’s life. Additionally, if your church is not balanced in its teaching, your walk with God becomes stunted; you will not grow. If you have ever had to go to a hospital to get better, then you know that most times in your healing process, there is pain involved. It’s the same thing with church; your healing process won’t be joyful all the time. There will be and should be times you are broken, convicted and offended in your sin.

4. Congregants are Content With Being Pew Warmers. I can generally tell if a church’s culture is unhealthy if its congregants are content with being pew warmers. What is a pew warmer? A pew warmer is a person who does not get involved in their church; they only attend church on Sundays, and they are content in doing so. When a church is healthy, people are excited about lending their gifts to the up building of their local church and the Body of Christ as a whole. However, if the only time a church sees a rise in volunteerism is when the pastor lays a huge guilt trip on his or her congregation, something is wrong. When a church’s environment is a healthy one, you should never have to inflict guilt upon people in order to get them involved. They will have a heart to serve, not out of guilt but out of desire.

5. Outreach is Never Planned or Preached. A church that never plans or even preaches outreach is unhealthy. When a church feels no need or desire to not only preach helping those outside of the four walls, but never does anything in its surrounding community, it speaks volumes. Outreach was and is the heart of Jesus. Having worship on Sundays is not church; it’s simply a meeting. The work that is done in the community to show God’s love is church. It is one thing to talk church, but it’s another thing to actually BE the church. If the church that you attend never preaches or plans outreach in the community, country or world, you are definitely part of an unhealthy church. Real church takes place by rendering service, usually outside the four walls of a building.

DO YOU LOVE ME? PLS JUST LIE AND SAY YES!

ONE DAY I DECIDED TO QUIT I quit my job, my relationship, my spirituality… I wanted to quit my life. I went to the woods to have one last talk with god “God”, I asked, “Can you give me one good reason not to quit?”. His answer surprised me… “Look around”, He said. “Do you see the fern and the bamboo ? “Yes”, I replied. “When I planted the fern and the bamboo seeds, I took very good care of them. I gave them light.I gave them water.The fern quickly grew from the earth. Its brilliant green covered the floor.Yet nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo.In the second year the Fern grew more vibrant and plentiful. And again, nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo. He said. “In year three there was still nothing from the bamboo seed.But I would not quit. In year four, again, there was nothing from the bamboo seed. I would not quit.” He said. “Then in the fifth year a tiny sprout emerged from the earth. Compared to the fern it was seemingly small and insignificant…But just 6 months later the bamboo rose to over 100 feet tall. It had spent the five years growing roots. Those roots made it strong and gave it what it needed to survive.I would not give any of my creations a challenge it could not handle.” He asked me. “Did you know, my child, that all this time you have been struggling, you have actually been growing roots”. “I would not quit on the bamboo.I will never quit on you.” “Don’t compare yourself to others.” He said.”The bamboo had a different Purpose than the fern. Yet they both make the forest beautiful.”"Your time will come”, God said to me. “You will rise high”. “How high should I rise?” I asked. “How high will the bamboo rise?” He asked in return. “As high as it can?” I questioned.”Yes.” He said, “Give Me glory by rising as high as you can.” I left the forest and brought back this story.I hope these words can help you see that God will never give up on you.Never, Never, Never, Give up. Don’t tell the Lord how big the problem is, tell the problem how Great the Lord is!

THE SECRET TO WEALTH

The secret to wealth is this; find a way to mindfully live within your means, save and invest the extra. Revisit and revise your goals and values at different stages of your life. Give generously and wisely. Sow consistently and wisely. Recognize what drains you and what lifts you up. Turn your pains into gains. Make your life simple, embrace contentment and do not covet or castigate others. You cannot become what you despise. Be inspired by the wealthy to work harder and smarter. There's always something to learn from others. The less you judge, the more you'll learn. Your excuses for failing can also be your reasons for succeeding. YOU have the power of CHOICE! If you want more, create more, you have the gift of abundance. Develop the discipline to say 'NO' or 'YES' when appropriate. Experience life with extraordinary joy!

THE REVELATION ON THE GOD HEAD

THE ONE MINDEDNESS, UNITY AND WORKING TOGETHER OF THE GOD HEAD Many believers see God as one which is good, but they see him as one individual or personality, they fail to recognize that there are three distinct personalities THAT MAKE UP THE NAME GOD. In this write up, I will be showing you some proof from the scriptures that GOD IS ONE and three personalities make up the GOD HEAD.  

THE REVELATION

1- Before this was revealed to me by the Holy Spirit, I wasn’t sure about the trinity, people used to tell me that Jesus is God and I used to wonder who I should pray to, is it to God or Jesus. In Matthew 28:19, Jesus clearly distinguished the personalities in the God head and made it known that the personalities are one. Notice this: “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost”. you’ll see that Jesus said baptizing them in the “name”, he did not say names, this shows that they are one and peter understood it, now notice this scripture in acts 2:38 “Then Peter said to them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost” Jesus told the disciples to baptize them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost but peter knew that Jesus is God and the God head is in Christ and we can call the full God head is Christ and they can be called Christ. Now let’s see this scripture in Colossians 1:19, “For it pleased the Father that in him should all fullness dwell; the fullness of the God head is in Christ and peter understood that.

2- The second revelation to hit me is in the creation story, I know Jesus was with God the father in the beginning of the world, John 1:1 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God” and I saw from scriptures that nothing was made in this world without Christ John 1:3 “All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made”. So it was God the father that said that “let there be light” and Jesus made it happen “and there was light”, check this scripture out in the book of Hebrews 1:8-10 “But to the Son he said, Your throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of your kingdom. You have loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows. And, You, Lord, in the beginning have laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of your hands:” notice that God called Jesus GOD because God the father knows that they are the same and one and everything that was made on earth was the work of Jesus. It’s like this, GOD SPOKE THE WORD AND JESUS MADE THINGS HAPPEN. 

3- The Holy Spirit is the spirit of God and of Christ. now lets the book of john 14:26 “But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatever I have said to you”. God the father will send the Holy Spirit through Christ. Now notice Galatians 4:6 “And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.” The Holy Spirit PRECEEDS FROM THE FATHER AND THE SON this shows that they are one and they work together.  

THE SUBMISSION AND LOVE IN THE GOD HEAD

 “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took on him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient to death, even the death of the cross. Why God also has highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”

 God the father gave him a name above all names and this means even HIS NAME. that why the father, son and holy spirit can be called JESUS CHRIST. From acts 2:38 “Then Peter said to them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost” Jesus submits to the father and does the will of the father, they are equal in every way but he submits to the father. John 4:34 “Jesus said to them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.” Hebrews 10:9 Then said he, See, I come to do your will, O God. He takes away the first, that he may establish the second. You see that Jesus does submits to the father. So friends, the name GOD, is the name for the FATHER, SON AND HOLY GHOST, they are one minded, they submit to one another and thy work together.

SEXUAL IMMORALITY; how do i overcome it?

Sexual sin is a major problem in the life of youths today, many of my friends have asked me how I manage to stay out of it and how they can be free from sexual perversions. I have tried to answer their questions but I could not answer them by myself and this made we go into solitary to hear from God through his word. So this is it. The word of God (the bible) cannot tell you how to overcome sexual perversions but the spirit of God that lives in you can teach you how. Looking into scriptures, I found a profound statement in 1 Corinthians 6:18 ‘Flee sexual immorality! “Every sin that a man does is outside the body,” but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body’. You must flee sexual temptations like Joseph did, don’t ever think that you can fight because you can’t, and so flee. Looking at that passage closely, you will discover that sexual sin affects the body, your health (STI's) etc.  

HOW WE FALL INTO SEXUAL SIN 

Sexual sin like every other sin starts from  

• TEMPTATION: 

it may be a thought or something you see like pornography, after temptation, something happens and most of us fails to realize it,  

• CONFIDENCE IN THE FLESH (‘I know I can handle this’) 

Apostle Paul said we should not trust our flesh because if you put confidence in the flesh, it will put you on the dark side. Sin starts with confidence in the flesh just like sexual sin, don’t be confident about your flesh, run like Joseph did. After you have put so much confidence in your flesh, then it results to

• SIN 

Because our flesh is weak. After sinning,  

• GUILT (new resolutions) 

This comes in then you start making hopeless resolutions like ‘I will never open the computer again’, ‘I will never talk to the opposite sex again’, ‘and I will never look at the opposite sex again’. Resolution don’t work because it presumes on man’s strength like the law. The more you distrust yourself on sexual perversions the better for you. So when you are done making all these helpless resolutions, fresh temptations comes all over again.  

HOW CAN ONE BREAK FREE FROM SEXUAL SIN? 

We have the life of ‘no condemnation’ and this empowers us, when the woman caught in the act of adultery was brought to Jesus, he said ‘I do not condemn you, go and sin no more’ that empowered her to go and never do it again but today the church has turned it around, it’s now ‘go and sin no more then we will not condemn you’ so my dear reader, when you fail, remember that God does not condemn you he always says ‘I do not condemn you, go and sin no more’ this empowers us as believers. Look at Romans 8:1 ‘There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don’t walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit’. This gift of grace is given to empower us to live a victorious life. This does not make us to live a careless life  

(if you think grace makes people to live a reckless life, then you don’t have a full revelation of grace which is embracing Jesus, his love and life, you only have a fraction of it which is freedom from the law) it empowers us to live the life God desires for us.

JESUS IS GREATER THAN RELIGION

People have asked so many questions about religion, they want to know if it’s actually God’s plan for us to practice religion, searching through scriptures, here's what i found out. now go through this carefully. What if I told you that JESUS CAME TO ABOLISH RELIGION? What if I told you that POLITICS WAS NOT HIS MISSION? What if I told you that JUST BECAUSE YOU CALL PEOPLE BLIND DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY GIVE YOU VISION If religion is so great,  

WHY HAS IT STARTED SO MANY WARS? WHY DOES IT BUILD HUGE CHURCHES BUT FAILS TO FEED THE POOR? 

Religion might preach grace but practice another thing to ridicule God’s people as they did to John the Baptist. They can’t fix their problem so they JUST MASK IT NOT REALIZING RELIGION IS LIKE SPRAYING PERFUME ON A CASKET. The problem with religion is that it NEVER GETS TO THE CORE, it’s just BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION. Like dressing up the outside so they can look nice and neat but it’s funny because that what they do to mummies as the corpse rots underneath. I am not judging, I am just saying we are putting on a fake look and it’s a problem if people don’t know you’re a Christian by your Facebook. Every other aspect of life you know that logic are not worthy, it’s like saying you play for Barcelona just because you bought their jersey. You see, this was my friend too but no one seem to be unto him, acting like a church kid while addicted to pornography. On Sunday he goes to church but on Saturday, he gets faded acting like he was simply created to just have sex and get wasted. He spent his whole life BUILDING THIS FACADE OF NEATNESS but now that he knows Jesus, he BOASTS IN HIS WEAKNESS BECAUSE OF GRACE, THERE IS WATER AND THE CHURCH SHOULD BE AN OCEAN. Now note these, the church is not a museum for the good people, it is a hospital for the broken. This means we don’t have to hide our failure and sin because IT DOESN’T DEPEND ON US, IT DEPENDS ON GOD. When i was God’s enemy, he look down and said ‘I want that boy”. This is why Jesus hates religion he said “don’t you see so much better that just following rules?” Let me clarify this, I love the church, I love the bible and yes I know there is sin out there, BUT IF JESUS CAME TO DO CHURCH WILL THEY ACTUALLY LET HIM IN? Remember he was called a glutton and a drunkard by religious men but Jesus never supported self-righteousness, not then and not now. Now back to the point, let me say that Jesus and religion are two opposite spectrum's,

ONE IS THE WORK OF GOD BUT ONE IS MAN MADE INVENTION. 

ONE IS THE CURE, THE OTHER IS THE INFECTION. 

RELIGION SAYS DO BUT JESUS SAYS DONE 

RELIGION SAYS SLAVE BUT JESUS SAYS SON 

RELIGION PUTS YOU IN BONDAGE BUT JESUS SETS YOU FREE 

RELIGION MAKES YOU BLIND BUT JESUS MAKES YOU SEE. 

RELIGION IS MAN SEARCHING FOR GOD; CHRISTIANITY IS GOD SEARCHING FOR MAN. 

That’s why Jesus and religion are different. Which is why salvation is freely ours and forgiveness is our own not based on our merit but on JESUS’S OBEDIENCE. He took the crown of thorns as the blood drip down his face, he took away all our sin and that’s why it’s called grace. While being murdered, he said “father forgive them for they know not what they do”, WHEN HE WAS HANGING ON THAT CROSS, HE WAS THINKING OF YOU, HE ABSORBED ALL YOUR SIN, HE BURIED IT IN HIS TOMB which is why kneeling at the cross he says “come on, there’s room.” So, religion i hate, i literally resent it because WHEN JESUS SAID IT IS FINISHED I BELIEVED HE MEANT IT.  

“And to the one who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness” Romans 4:5

RELATIONSHIP; What is God's view?

Jesus said “if anyone hates his neighbor, that person hates me”. He also said “if the world hates you, they hate me first” Are you in any form of relationship? Are you getting tired or are you already tired because of the other party? Is it because of the way they behave, their character and attitude? You have spoken to them times without number and they have just refused to change and you probably want to pull the plug off the relationship. Well, before you do, you need to go through this message, many people have asked me questions about relationships and I decided to answer through my own personal experience and what I did to my failing relationships. Back in 2010, I was in a friendship relation with a guy, we were roommates, I loved him and I became too attached to him, this was because of his outward character (which can be deceptive) and his intelligence, whenever there is any problem, his always has a solution. As the year went by, he began to take me for granted, everything started to change. He started messing the room without giving a damn about it, he became mighty selfish, he practically refused to share anything or do anything around the house, so whenever he does any of these, I will let it pass, I will clean the house and share my own things with him hoping that one day he will realize what he’s doing and change but he never did, he kept on messing things up and It was hauntingly frustrating, I have spoken to him on countless occasions but he just refused to change. One day I ran out of patience one day, I did know what to do, I wanted to call off the friendship but I remembered why I met him in the first place and I wanted to keep that, thoughts came to mind to keep malice but I am a believer and malice isn’t an option. I was like I was pouring water on the rock because nothing was changing about him and my human nature could not take it anymore. So, I decided to go to the word of God to see what God is saying about it (as believers, we should never fail to go to the word of God you find out what he has said concerning any situation you are facing and you will definitely find awesome answers) and here is what I found. I found out from the book of Romans 12:18, it says “if it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men” I replied and said that I have tried and its killing me and as I was thinking on this passage, another word came to my mind “love your enemies and those who despise you” and I replied my mind that this was weighing me down. So I closed my bible and decided to take a break, after a while, I returned to my bible, I turned to the book of John 13:34 which says “A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.” So, I asked myself this question how did he love us? And there was the answer in 1John 3:21, it says “And this is his commandment, that we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another as he gave us commandment” so I asked myself again, how does Jesus love us? I turned to Romans 5:8 to get the answer it says “But God commanded his love toward1 us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” it was strong on me, I turned to John 3:16 to meditate on it and then Romans 8:38-39 which says “For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” These means that even when we engage in ungodly things, God still loves us unconditionally and nothing can separate us from his love, it means we don’t need to do anything for God to love us” This was big for me, I was in tears as I reflected over God love for me, I thought about all I’ve done and yet God still loves me and he needs everyone to love one another the same way, God needs me to love my friend unconditionally just as he has loved me. So that was it, I decided to love my friend no matter what he did or what he will do because I am a child of God, I am an heir to his throne, I have the righteousness of God so therefore I have the ability to love like he loves and so do you. Since that day, whenever he does something crazy, thoughts will come to my mind to be mad at him but I will confess out loud saying “I am the righteousness of God” and immediately, those thoughts will leave me. So instead of hating, I started praying for my friend and today he has completely changed, we now enjoy our friendship like never before because I chose to do what God says. I showed him truths from the bible and now he is a true believer. So, my dear reader, you are born of God, don’t let you human nature over take you, love unconditionally, be at peace with everyone and pray for your enemies and watch them change.

SPIRITUAL SENSITIVITY

God wants us to know all things, he has anointed us to know all things 1John 2:20, in this present age, God is has revealed the mystery Colo 1:24-27 EPH 1:6-8.God is ALWAYS speaking but most of us are not hearing because we’re not sensitive. 1 Tim 4:1-2, we don’t hear because we have our hearts hardened due to what we are mindful of, what we have our mind set on. WHAT IS SPIRITUAL SENSITIVITY? This is being AWEAR of the spirit realm. It is being deliberately CONSCIOUS of the things of the spirit. Spiritual things are that which we cannot see and touch but it is REAL. WHY DO WE NEED TO BE SENSITIVE? As believers, we are sons and daughters of God and we have to know the mind and will of God per time Rom 8:14 “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God”. We are spiritual beings and we are to live after the spirit Rom 8:13, Gal 5:16. HOW TO BE SPIRITUALLY SENSITIVE: 1- YIELDING YOURSELF TO THE SPIRIT= Romans 12:1-2, Isa 55:3= 2- PRAYING IN THE SPIRIT (speaking in tongues)=Rom 8:26-27= 3- MEDITATE ON THE WORD OF GOD =psalm 119:105, John 6:63= 4- MINDING THE THINGS OF THE SPIRIT== gal 5:16== 5- CONSISTENT FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD -the more we fellowship with God through meditation of the Word and praying in other tongues, the more tender and sensitive that believer becomes to the holy spirit, this helps us to be full of the spirit. 6- INSTANT OBEDIENCE to promptings and impression in your spirit. WHAT CAN STOP US FROM BEING SENSITIVE: “UNBELIEF”: Heb 11:6. JAMES 1:7-8 Matt 15:8 CONCLUSION: This Is A Time Where We Need To Be Sensitive To God, God Wants To Flow Through Us To Minister To A Lot Of People, Lets Yield Ourselves To The Holy Spirit And Become A Useable Vessel Of God

INTERPRETATION OF TONGUES AND PROPHESYING.

When we pray in tongues (either willfully or prompted by the Holy Spirit) we may be thanking God, interceding for someone or PROPHESYING, nobody understands us for we speak not to men but to God. As we pray in tongues, God may be ministering to someone in the congregation and SINCE WE DON’T UNDERSTAND, HOW THEN DO WE KNOW WHAT GOD IS SAYING AND TO WHO??? 1COR 14:9 & 13.This is one of the reasons we need to interpret tongues. When we gather together to fellowship and you yield yourself to the Holy Spirit to flow through you and then when you speak in tongues and someone else in the congregation who is sensitive interprets and if the message is about what will happen in the future then it is a prophecy. A PROPHECY is a message that tells you what will happen in the nearest future or sometime later. NOTE STRONGLY that the scriptures hold a whole lot of prophecy about us and it is a sure word from God because it wasn’t written by man’s understanding but from God 2 PET 1:19-21, we are sure that whatever is written there will come to pass. PALMS 138:2 WHY DID PAUL URGE US TO STRONGLY DESIRE PROPHECY? 1COR 14:1-5. When we come to service, we come to sharpen ourselves and to be encouraged and edified and if everyone is just speaking and no understands, no one is edified or encouraged, then why gather together. BUT IF SOMEONE SPEAKS IN A CLEAR LANGUAGE THAT EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS AND EVERYONE IS BEING MINISTERED TO then the purpose of gathering is being met. 1COR 14:18-19, 1COR 14:6 this is prophecy because everyone understands and is edified. That’s why Paul urges us to desire to prophesy in other that the reason why we gather is fulfilled. 1COR 14:39 HOW THEN CAN WE INTERPRET TONGUES AND PROPHESY? SENSITIVITY: YIELD yourself to the Holy Spirit and always be ready, knowing fully well that the Holy Spirit can flow through you anytime. FAITH: you must completely have faith in God, trusting and believing what he reveals to you weather’s an interpretation or prophecy. LOVE: this is quite important, if you don’t have love and not just any kind of love, the kind of love Jesus commanded us to have (AGAPE LOVE) you may not flow in any spiritual gift. 1JN 3:23 & JN 13:34 Paul explain this in 1COR 13. CONCLUSION: we should all eagerly desire to prophecy and interpret tongues because it will help a whole lot of people and it will fully define what Christianity is all about which is the fact that it is not a religion, it is life and the life is all about caring for one another just the way Christ did, that why we’re Christians, like Christ.

WHEN YOU BECOME TOO BIG FOR GOD (part 1)

This is a true life story of a guy about 22year old, he became too big for God because of the gospel truth, hear him in his own words.....After i understood the gospel and the fact that i am a son of God, joint heir with christ, seated in heavenly places, i have the God head living in me, that i am already blessed through christ jesus, i loved it, i was happy, really happy, it's a done deal, i said to myself "i don't need to pray and ask God for anything"....this was where i missed it, i communicated even less with God, it got to a time i didn't even talk to God at all, i believe all has been done (which is true) and this made me acknowledge God less in my ways and dealing, it made me lazy...
