LETTER TO THE CHRUCH

-



 FROM:
THE YOUNGEST MEMBER     
 YOUR BABY BRANCH     
 NIGERIA

TO:
THE LORD SPIRITUAL
THE HEADQUARTERS
OF MINISTRIES
DEAR SPIRITUAL LEADER,

       THE SHEEP ARE SWIMMING
    Not as the rugged and dogged Apostle Paul nor as to the Church in Antioch, but as Paul, the least among you all,  *I write the Church in Nigeria.*
   Greeting to the light bearers, warriors of our Lord Jesus Christ who have lived for the sake of the gospel. I have seen and heard of your relentless work in the garden of our Master. The Nation newspaper comments so well of your uprightness and justice maintenance. I pray for you also. The branches gather and pray for you too, keeping your teachings dearly.
   Now, I learnt you have not anointed anyone of our members for leadership. I was told you claim Politics will stain the gospel. And now, the members are mourning the affliction of the wicked. Among these are the reasons why the members have backed out.

*1* They said Politics is carnal and cultic. To be fully involved and succeed, you must drink the blood of another man and eat the colanut of the ancestors. Now they don't want to be involved hence, they stay back till the persecutions see them all gone.
  SUGGESTIONS: Why not call for a gathering of Christlike and  request for Unity and joint prayer. Let them see one and anoint one. Don't we have priests who will guide the activities of political leaders anymore? Is the Kingdom now inferior to the power of cult?

*2* They also mentioned our doctrinal diversification which has called a disbelief among us. They said we now judge the anointed with earrings and make up. Is the house divided already?
SUGGESTION: Why not use the fruit of the spirit to judge and let God judge the rest. Even the wheat and the tare will in unity grow together till the day of harvest, how much more in the Christiandom. Please, your doctrinal differences which is nursing a lack of Concord is already backfiring. Call for elders meeting please.!!!!!!
*3* The members said they are financially poor. They said they don't even have equilateral for loans. They only Know God and not politically influential. Truly, God is enough for a man, but you can be like Paul, who was with his spiritual fruit in all their dealings. Won't it be good if you raise  Godly sons and daughters and they all lead this nation with God's directive? Won't the preaching spread well?
From your millions and billions, try and raise a political leader guided by your priestly instructions

*4* Finally, great messenger of the Gospel of Christ, they said politicians are labelled  "darkers." They claimed people hardly believe a true Christian can be a politician, HERESY!
Is this scriptural? Ah!!!!
Please preach against this evil concept. They said Nigeria will corrupt politician. Hmmmmmmm.
*I fear!!!!* The sheep are swimming in the ocean, this is not right, please bring them out.
The branches hope to see you soon. Daniel, the new convert is now a preacher of the gospel and your presence will help boost his faith the more.
   *A CALL TO THE SHEPHERD*
     
  *ADENIYI PAUL OLAKUNLE*

Well said Paul. But the truth is while church leaders have a role to encourage people, following the trends of the scriptures, you will note that societal leadership is also a call from as much as church leadership.

Hence, members who have been hiding need to receive boldness and courage to go and be change agents in the society. They have to come out and let the Pastor know what they need, and it is not just prayers, but much more.


A letter like this is good, but must be followed with proposals on practical steps for Pastors to take in the reforms, bearing in mind that their call is to transform the society from the pulpit and not from government house, nor political parties. There must be strategies, let's research on this.

THE MAN CALLED GARRI (Things you don't know about Garri)

Garri, is processed cassava tubers, and has become a much wanted staple food in Nigeria. Once considered to be food for the poor, garri is gradually slipping out of the reach of ordinary Nigerians who sometimes cannot do without helping themselves to a plate of eba (or garri flour mixed in hot water) or its soaked version every day. Someone once shared with me that the businesses that will continue as long as human civilisation remains are those businesses that meet the basic needs of man, i.e. food, clothing, health, and shelter. There is a great sense in this. This is because as long as we are alive, we would require good and quality food, good clothing, good shelter and good health to lead an acceptable level of existence. Nigerian communities must begin to look at developing businesses that can address these basic needs. This is why garri processing plant is one great business opportunity that fits this mould. The industrial processing of cassava in Nigeria holds much potentia

THE MISTAKE OF THE CHURCH (Adebowale Ibukun Tosin)

-
Evidently, several youths are tired of church. The old conservative approach void of serious bible study and training in prayer is too weak to keep them in church. While the sermon is on, many are either on twitter, Instagram, Facebook or Whatsapp, just chatting away their time. Quite interesting is how some of these young folks attend church only because their parents have made it compulsory. Left to many of them, they would easily boycott church and just have fun by hanging out with their friends or be watching movies at home. So, here's the simple logic... The church doesn't want to lose these guys. They are vibrant, youthful, energetic, and smart. As a matter of fact, it's widely believed that the future of any organisation, nation, even church depends on the youths. So, in a bid to not lose them, many churches would give them what they want. No matter what it takes! I've seen youth vigils that were nothing more than clubs in the name of praise night. All mann

2018 DIGEST with Aina Omowumi Adenodi

ENCOURAGEMENT The world has enough critics already, be an encourager. Encouragement is something or words that makes someone more hopeful, determined or confident to take certain steps. Most of us, swimming against the tides of trouble the world knows nothing about, needs only a bit of praise or encouragement ~and we will make the goal.  There comes that certain time when you really need to calm down and think of all the steps you've taken, and the ones you are about to take, and then you come to realise that it's so easy to propose on something you want, you imagine it, and you see it coming through as expected, you strategize your plans and set your targets, these you do mostly at the commencement of a new season or year (just like this time), deep inside of you, you list out things you want, and those you don't want, along side things you will start doing and those you will stop doing, these things are your priority in the early days of the year, they keep ringing
