Poetry
“For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel—
not with words of human wisdom, lest the cross of
Christ be emptied of its power.” 1 Cor.1:17
Many men of God are convinced that they are rich
They say,’ I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do
not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are
wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked.Rev.3:17
Because of this environment in the 21st century
The church is easily susceptible to false teaching
Messages of self-esteem and successful living etc
Have replaced the message of the Cross of Calvary
The problem in the church is that many want to compete with the world
This is seen in the areas of music, movies, books, dress code etc
Clearly, we must use our talents for Jesus Christ but when we
Use the world as a measuring tool for a mirror of our success
We fall into the trap that our enemy would like us to fall into which is
Seen in the book of revelation in chapter 3…
Church growth is used as the basis for popularity but what is sad is
The fact that the clarity of the Gospel message is lost
Let us not alter the message of the cross
The Cross is the gateway to the kingdom (Matthew 4:17)
He is alive forever more; we are seated with Him in Heavenly places
Worthy is the Lamb
“For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel—
not with words of human wisdom, lest the cross of
Christ be emptied of its power.” 1 Cor.1:17
