A Generation Of Pretense And Perverse Christian In The Church - Part 2
Today we are living as people who are no longer pilgrims, living and acting like permanent landlords on Earth. I still remember the early Apostles; they died for the sake of the gospel expect John whom died naturally. This people hated and deserted their lives for gospel sake.
I still remember the early missionary who came to West African because of souls. Just imagine a white man coming to Nigerian and other African countries when there was no electricity because of souls. At that time, that little insect called mosquito fought grossly against the gospel when malaria was dreaded as HIV during that period because it was incurable.
But look at what happened, yet the more they died, the more they came. They said, “If we perish we perish West Africa must received the gospel” That was reason why you received this gospel. Today majority of you find it so difficult to preach the gospel, you find it so hard to sponsor and promotes the gospel.
Oh let me not eat and satisfy until I get souls for my God. Let me not struggle and competes for church positions and leadership until I burnt-out and reach out for souls for my God. As I pass through the streets of major cities I get challenges. You will behold the best billboard, gorgeously decorated with flourishing light but when I look up I behold Rothmans, when I look up again I see Benson & hedges.
Imagine, people spend millions of dollars to advertised poison. What are we doing? Where are we in the purpose of the almighty God? I have a suggestion if it is possible. I wish every Christian could go to Hell fire and spend one hour. If every Christian could go to Hell and spend one hour we will come out and change our attitude toward evangelism.
Apostle Paul said, I wish am cast away and rejected so that my people Israel would be save” A day shall comes when every other advert shall ceased. Now is time to advertise Jesus. God has called us as an advertiser of Jesus Christ. Today the world is technically getting advance, we are supposed to make use of this advancement for the advertisement of the kingdom of God.
Because the purpose of God is that this gospel which make a sinner to become saints, a criminal to become a Christian, the gospel that delivered you should reach out to other people. Let me ask "Are you prepared to die now? If you go to Heaven will you regret?
I mean now-NOW! What have you really achieved? What have you done? Imagine a man called John G Lake. John Graham Lake came to South African and spent only 5 years an insurance man, yet under 5 years he has 1250 preachers, 625 congregations and 100,000 converts just under 5 years. These are the kind of people you want to go to Heaven and sit down with and received rewards.
John G lake will received and you will receive, Peter and Paul will receive and you will receive and you say you are going to Heaven. My friend rewards shall be there. You know, there are two members in every church.
- Executive Observers and
- Participants.
You watch others spend their money to advertise and promote the gospel and you sit behind gazing at them. If some people will use petro Dollar to propagate a Islamist religion of a founder that is still in the grave. Oh my God!, why can’t I bring out? Where are the men who can sell their cars because of evangelism?
Where are women who can close their bank account because of value for souls? Today is the day we should burnt out and tells the world that Jesus died for the sinful ones. Do you what you have been missing all this while, the soul winner’s joy. Moreover nothing can take the place of this joy, nothing!
How do you feel my brothers and sisters? You are in the church clapping and relaxing while your mother who carried you for 9 months is on express road to Hell. Look at your father who trained you is on the express road to Hell and you are there relaxing. What about those your former sin partners, what have you done in order to get the gospel across to them?
Look at you a managing director; the people working under you don’t even know the Christ In you. Your colleagues and business partners they don’t know that Jesus saves. They have not seen the light of Jesus and you still snoring. My dear friends, there is no more time. In eternity someone might says “ You didn’t tell me” This is the time of telling them!
Howbeit, if you graciously stumble upon this message and you are not yet a believer. Perhaps you are yet to accept or acknowledge Jesus Christ into your life and you have managed to read this message till this length from it first part as I am admonishing the brethren to desist and repent from their perverse and pretense attitudes, Do you know you are a victim if you continue in sin and unbelief?
Therefore, this is a golden opportunity for you to gives your life to Jesus Christ because the bible that says that God is love also says that God is a consuming fire. If you believe in the mercies of God and finish works of Calvary then the mercies of God would be shown unto you. Why must you go to Hell after stumbling upon this website and reading all this salvation words of revival?
By the way my friends, why must you keep quiet until your relation go to hell? Until your friends, your family members, your village, your community perished in Hell? What have you done? Moreover it’s not in your hand to convert but do what you should do then the Holy Spirit will do the
conviction.
This is the day of good news and the day of good news has an expiring date because a day shall comes when people will no longer preach. When I remember the vanity of this world, people touch these things. Look at Solomon, he touch money, women, wealth and ruler ship but at the end, he says, Vanity upon vanity all is vanities.
Ecclesiastes 1:14 "I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit. If a man who touches all this things calls it vanities, why must not we comes out of vanity and face reality because the only thing that is valuable is spirituality.
Let me ask you, the day you see people been buried, did they goes out with anything? I use to wonder whenever I beheld some people writing at the grave yard or commenting, May his soul rest in peace. That is nonsense because no prayer can be answered as long such person didn’t give his life to Jesus when he was alive. Hence, you don’t even know when you will died, now is to consider the emptiness, the vanities and folly of this world.
Why can’t we go out and tell people that this world is vanity, you will die and you will not go with any wealth but with only empty handed. Let me tell, if you don’t go out you are a murdered. Sometimes you board a public Bus and instead to tune-up your voice and share the word of salvation to the passengers, yet you kept quenching the urge to preach the gospel because the devil has bribe you to keep quiet.

Sometimes ago the Lord was ministering to you to go and preach to someone but you kept quiet and now the person has died. Are you not guilty? Is blood not on your hands? Indeed you are a murderer Ezekiel 3:17-20 " Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.
18, When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
19, Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
20, Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumbling-block before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand"
Please open your hands. Can you see any blood? YES; spiritually your hands are stained with their blood. You can't escape hell until you start paying-off your debt by preaching and promoting the gospel. This is not the time to keep quiet. You are a debtor to everybody because this gospel must get out and any moment from now the curtain shall be drawn.
According to statistics everyday about 345,000 people are born. Also everyday about 146,000-153,000 people died, just as you are reading this message some people are dying all over the globe and at the end of everyday 146,000 people will died. Whose turns will be the next to die?
You don’t know because it could be your neighbor? It could be that man in same car, airplane, train or office with you. It could be that person travelling with you. It could be that your business partner with you. It could be that person selling in same market with you. The harvest is ripe but the laborers are few in number and it high time you sit-up and join in the new way of revival we are longing.
The hour has come when Africa should be aggressive in evangelism and to invade the world continents with the salvation gospel of Christ. Hence this sluggishness and perverseness of Christian in the church ought to cease. It is time to burnt out in godliness and maintain both inward and outward righteousness because the Lord we are serving is a great and powerful king who is not a respecter of person.
