Topic: The Spirituality Problem
Memory Verse: The days of punishment have come; The days of recompense have come. Israel knows! The prophet is a fool, The spiritual man is insane, Because of the greatness of your iniquity and great enmity. Hosea 9:7
Main Texts: Hosea 9:8-10, John 4:24, 1 Corinthians 2:14-15
Word For Thought: Spirituality is the inner life on the outside.
Over the years I have noticed almost in every church, including
mine that, weekly days of worship for prayer meetings and bible studies always
record the lowest attendance whiles weekly TV shows record the highest viewing
on the weekdays. The is very sad, you only see a handful of people praying on
the weekday of prayer, sometimes nobody shows up at all. On the average a
little less than a quarter number of people who attend Sunday services come for
the weekday services. That is a representation of less than 25% of people who
attend church on Sundays. This problem can be as a result of bad church
leadership, but in most cases, it is an individual spiritual problem.
To be spiritual is to connect your total will to the things
of God. To play your part as a covenanted child of God. That is to say your
time, energy, knowledge, money, family, properties etc. to God. In that case,
you owe not your life or will, but to God. That is Christianity, when God’s
will cross our will. It will be very difficult for a true spirit filled Christian
stay home watching TV or doing non-emergent activity when there is a church
going on.
Spirituality problem is the cause of minimal church
influence in the society. The society does not see any difference between a
believer and a non-believer. Some pastors, elders, pastor’s wife and other
church leaders dressings as well as their hair cut is none other but a hip pop
gangster. Believers dancing to worldly music and singing them at parties and
weddings showing no remorse. This is the cause of powerlessness of our
influence over the nation and our society.
This is the plan of the devil. We have been born again in
the spirit. When we are in the spirit, we fulfill the things of God and our heaven
is secured. The devil wants to destroy us by enticing us to the world. Many are
falling day by day, we need to get back to God, for the Kingdom of God is at
hand. Give no place to the devil, pray, fast and read the bible so that you can
grow in the spirit of God, day by day. I
love you, God bless you.
If you are not born again, you live in darkness, your are blind and so Satan can easily occupy your life, he prepares you to fail. Your life is limited with no divine inheritance, no direction, and failure is not an option. Moreover, you are a candidate of hell fire. If you want to be born again by giving your life to Christ, pray this prayer
“Dear Lord Jesus Christ, I come to You today. I am a sinner. Forgive me of my sins and cleanse me with Your Blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. I accept You as my Lord and Savior. Make me a child of God today. Thank You for accepting me into Your Kingdom.”'
