MY SPIRIT IS NOT WITH
THEM
‘The Lord Is
Here International Church’
‘10 Virgins
Ministries’
‘Through The
Red Sea on Dry Grounds Bible Church’
‘Last Supper
Evangelistic Ministries’
‘Let There Be
Light Family Chapel’
&
‘I Shall Come
Like A Thief In The Night Outreach Church’
These were
just a fraction of the churches I chanced upon
Within a
kilometer distance in a neighbourhood.
Within a
matter of six days,
Another had
added up to the multitude.
‘I Am That I
Am Gospel Church’
While just
last week,
I found two
new additions within the same vicinity.
‘Virgin Mary,
Innocent Joseph Family Church’
&
‘Five Loaves,
Two Fishes Miracle Church’.
On the
surface,
The aim of this
battalion of churches is to draw people to Him,
Who is the
Way, the Truth and the Light.
Their
activities and teachings are meant to
Call sinners unto
repentance.
Their
evangelistic operations are meant to win over
The spiritually
corrupted and morally decayed minds and hearts
For the Father
who is pure and has no blemish in Him.
The onus rests
upon them to point out the ills of their congregants,
And aid them
retrace their steps unto the path of righteousness.
Naturally,
one could expect a better people and a better society
With the
proliferation of new churches.
Yet, the contrary
rather appears to gain grounds.
The more
churches that spring up,
The more
sexual sins and robberies surge.
The more ‘men
of God’ preach on the airwaves,
The more the
moral fabric of our society gets shredded.
The more
churches organize crusades and revivals,
The more filled
up the night clubs and brothels get.
The more ‘appeal
for funds’ are organized,
The more politicians
literally steal from the nation.
The church
has turned us into Weekend Saints, Weekday Sinners.
There are
more churches now than ever,
Yet, our
societies have morally decayed now more than ever,
And crime has
skyrocketed now more than ever.
So, one may
ask,
‘Why is
humanity not really being positively impacted
By the multiplicity of new churches?’
I pondered
over this for awhile
And guess
what a little bird whispered to my tired brains?
‘Churches are
expanding with aggression,
Yet the Holy
Spirit says,
‘Behold, my
Spirit is not with most of them’
