Happy Weekend everyone,
Yesterday, my focus was on knowing why there is a continuous increase in corruption even when there is an increase in church growth. I observed that the church does not speak one language, and they all claim to be led by the Holy Spirit. But the Holy Spirit is One person and not many persons, thus, if they truly have the Holy Spirit, the church would agree with the same thing, also with Christ who has the exact same Spirit.
In my quest to find out why the church has lost focus, as they are the solution in saving the world, I found out something which my Friend—the Holy Spirit revealed to me, and this is what I would share with you today.
First of all, we must understand that we cannot mix Law and Grace, it is like trying to mix oil and water, it won’t blend. That aside which I’ll come back to. The reason why the church has lost focus is that many churches are self-centred. OK, that sounds like a surprise, or what exactly do I mean by the church being self-centred?
Before receiving Jesus Christ as Lord and new life, we all were striving to please God by using various means possible, means established ourselves. The children of Israel, however, were given a way they could walk with God, but even after establishing a tabernacle and the Law, they couldn’t fit because their spirit wasn’t one with God, so was the whole world. So, if Man wasn’t led by the Holy Spirit, they were led by their guts, and this is being self-centred.
But the moment you receive Jesus as Lord, the old man dies, and Jesus takes over as the new man, where we also receive the Holy Spirit as the part the package, He dwells in us.
The Bible tells us that we are to be led by the Holy Spirit and we won’t gratify the desires of the flesh of human nature without God. This implies that if truly One person is speaking to us, and also leading us, we are meant to go the same route and have one understanding, just like the children of Israel as God used Moses to lead them through the wilderness. There was no separate camp going a different way claiming to be led by God, they all followed one person—God, through Moses, so, why is this not the case in the body of Christ?
Now, to the reason for all this self-centredness is because many are focusing more on themselves and boasting on what they do for God, rather than focusing on God and what He wants us to do. This is the issue because many of us have mixed the human knowledge with the knowledge of Christ which has polluted the message. And once you pollute the message, and go by it, then you are no longer led by the Holy Spirit anymore, you are led by your Ph.D. degree, your certification created by ungodly men.
To be led by the Holy Spirit means none of you, and all of Jesus Christ, but this is not the case today, because just the way everybody is unique in their own way, so is their dependence on their certification different. Therefore, as each man follows himself, it would definitely be different from the next person, and this is why the church doesn’t have one voice. And when they do not have one voice, they would definitely not do what God has called them to do, and this is why the world is getting more corrupt by the second because those who are to sweep corruption away are being distracted. And who is the king of distraction? The devil!
This is just a phase to why many churches have lost focus. Tomorrow, I’ll explain the second phase and what the church should focus on. Don’t miss it!
May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.
Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
