WHAT ARE YOU PREACHING?

       What are you preaching to people of the world; to the perishing souls and to those that are lusting after the things of the earth? This should be the question all disciples, son and daughter of God should ask themselves everyday. we should always check-mate ourselves by asking every moment am i preaching/teaching Jesus Christ in my speech; my dress; the things i do. As God commanded us that "go ye therefore to all nations teaching all, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the son, and of the Holy Spirit: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever i have commanded you" Math 28: 19-20a
       Let also ask ourselves have we not mixed worldliness to Christianity, working in the path of modernization, diluting the word of God, telling people what they want to hear not what God is say? have we not left the Old doctrine of truth? where the reality of His kingdom and the second coming is being preached; where people are being prepared every day for that glorious day; where the Holy Spirit always filled the garden of brethren when preaching the word of God; where lost souls have been won to Christ in thousands at a preaching. have we not bring down the standard of the word of God to suite our selfish and personal interest or to suite this end time/ technological world of uncertainty? Are we not afraid of persecution, keeping the truth from people by preserving our own heads or life?
         Are we preaching Jesus Christ doctrine of preparation for Heavenly kingdom or we are preaching another doctrine to bring people close to ourselves not to God? have we not turn the house of God to business house; to the den of thieves? Are we preaching modest apparel and moderation in dressing to people or we are encouraging worldliness; half naked and mini-skirts in church? men with long and plaited hair and all sort of gold turning the house of God to party center. 1tim 2:9
        Many are going with the world preaching in order to bring people to their church so they can have enough money, live in the best apartment, ride the best cars, boast of their prosperity rather than souls they have won to the kingdom of God though this is not new anymore because the scripture has said it that in the last days false prophet will arise, people will be lovers of pleasure; themselves, covetous, boaster e.t.c 1tim 3: 1-7. The most painful aspect of it all is that, instead of us to condemn and correct this evil practices in the kingdom, we still embrace and encourage them. we still shout 'oh pastor ride on' and we are riding them to hell fire and destruction what a pitiful generation we are.
       Sexual immoralities as become the other of the day, its no more something of shame in engaging in it even in the world that gay and lesbianism as been legalized where holy matrimony; joining together of man to man; woman to woman is taking place is some churches nowadays; rapist are on rampage without penalty taking carnal knowledge of under-age children is no more a news. Let us wake up to this clarion call of God, the end is near, the world has reached is finished line are you and i not going to collapse and vanished with this world. Is there a home for us in his coming kingdom and reign. This is a time for sober reflection let come back to God; retrace our step back to his vineyard; back to the old path that giveth life, peace of mind and an expected tomorrow in Christ Jesus.
          What are the old path; the old path is:
the sound doctrine of God, the father, the son and the Holy spirit;
where the 10 commandment matters exodus 20: 3-17;
where marriage bed is pure and undefiled 1 pet 2;
where covering of hair is important when praying and in church 1cor 11:5;
where women did not put on what belongs to men deut 22:5;
where everybody involved in evangelism math 28: 19-20 e.t.c.
         Jesus Christ also walk in this path saying ' think not that i am come to destroy the prophet or the laws: i have come to fulfil them but not to destroy it. Mathew 5:17. Even the scripture said ' thus saith the LORD, stand ye in ways and ask for the old path, where is the good way and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. Jeremiah 6:16.
          In conclusion, brethren it never too late for us. This is the time, the right time to take a u-turn and come back to the old path of righteousness, move closer to God in order to redeem this fainting and perishing generation from darkness and captivity of Satan and make Lucifer a shame over our life. God is waiting for you, His arms are open make a right choice now and come unto Father. God bless you
