Opinion: Christianity or Foolishness?

Church members eating grass on the orders of their pastor, right, in South Africa
By AMARA BLESSING NWOSU: I implore you not to look at this from the angle of a brainwashed mind. Please open up your heart so you can benefit from this article. 
Okay; we go to church every Sunday and if in Nigeria, every day. Some of our preachers have taken advantage of the level of poverty in the country and now manipulate people into believing that they have to just fold their hands, give the last money in their pocket, go hungry, as they wait for miracles happen. 

Only a few preachers still talk about holiness, rapture, and righteous living. All we get daily from the pulpit are endless preaching of miracles and the get-rich-quick syndrome. Because of this, folks now go out there and commit all sorts of crime just because they have to go back to "daddy" with great testimonies. What foolishness could be greater than this to see Nigerians rushing and dropping five and ten thousand Naira just for their so called daddy to spray his demonic perfume on them. Our problem here is that we don't study the Bible and so anything goes. It is no longer what the Bible says; it is now more of what "daddy" said. When did Christ stop being the author and finisher of our faith?

We are now in the era of miracles. Pastors now go out of their way to get demonic powers while they use the name of God to cover up. Once you go to them, you keep going because they solve one problem and send ten to you. This is just a warning to fellow Nigerians and possibly Ghanaians. I can't say where it all started but it looks like Ghanaian pastors are worse than their Nigerian counterparts. People, what they use in this our generation is the spirit of the dead. A good number of them practice necromancy. When they give you those prophecies, it is always correct. But the God I know has nothing to do with it. 

We often find ourselves transferring our duties to God all in the name of godliness and spirituality. We no longer want to think with our brain. When God created you,He endowed you with certain gifts and abilities to make things happen.But religion,instead of impacting us positively,has brainwashed a good number of us into believing God has to come down from heaven to do everything for us. God wasn't foolish when He have you the brain. Like I always tell people, the brain on its own doesn't think; we think with the brain. For some of us, our brain is just another dormant part of the body.

Like Pastor Sam Adeyemi once said,"you have a job to execute and someone asks," how are you going to do it?" and the next thing you say is" the Lord will do it".God cannot do it when you fold your hands and refuse to use your brain efficiently. You can pray from now till thy kingdom come,you can attend all Daddy Adeboye's Holy Ghost congress and crusades by Dr Uma Ukpai. Your change will come when you learn to use your brain and your hands.You keep praying and disturbing God unnecessarily to bless you.Where is the work of your hands that He has promised to bless? 

You live your life in church,a graduate who has suddenly become a driver and PA to a pastor who doesn't even care how your family feeds.Are you trying to tell me you will just live and die without leaving any legacy for your children?All you want is for them to grow up to know that daddy spent all his life driving pastor round town without bringing money home at the end of the day? They will forever spit on your grave.

 Don't  tell me it's service to God,I know that is what they have used to brainwash you.But you know what;you can still serve God in your successful career. You can still earn salary as the pastor's PA. This is one part of Pastor Femi Paul's life and ministry that I appreciate so much. When you see his admin staff, you see hot brains that are well catered for. He is not one of those pastors who believe in free service and rendering people's children useless through religion. A labourer is worthy of his wages.  Its a different thing if you want to go into full time ministry, but if that is not what you want, please go to work. Don't join another man to fulfill his own ministry;fulfill our own ministry and destiny. Stop attending services Wednesday or Monday morning when your mates are at work. Get busy and then pray for God to enlarge your coast.

Don't get me wrong;prayer opens door for the supernatural, but it would be foolish of you to believe its all about prayer.The same Bible we read says,"faith without works is dead".Stop following your pastor about and turning yourself,a graduate, to a glorified driver.Stop hanging his wife's bag all over the place when they don't pay you to daily leave your wife,husband,and children to serve them. Women, go home to your husband and children and stop acting like his second wife. You don't prepare your husband's food yourself but you spend quality time in the kitchen preparing "Daddy's" food. God is not happy with such service.
 You don't even respect your own biological mother, but you are always rolling on the floor for "Mummy".  When was the last time you bought clothes for your parents? Their roof is leaking, your parents are dying in cold and you are not bothered, but you just bought a brand new Range Rover Sport for your "Daddy" because they keep telling you that your new family is now those in the household of faith. May God forgive us for making His word what it is not. May He show mercy to us for using His word for our belly.

 Religion has a way of turning people to slaves.Religion has a way of making the learned stupid and causing eyes to go blind to the truth.Religion is not of God.Never allow the yoke of religion tie you up because you will find yourself among the most stupid people on earth.Live your life for God and humanity and forget mere doctrines of man.

Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith.Never look up to your pastor or Imam, never transfer the fear and respect you have for God to them.Never allow anyone brainwash you into believing you are filthy.The blood of Jesus is more powerful than anything in this world.Stop practicing religion and quit being a man-pleaser. 
Your pastor has made it;please go to work and make it!
