'John 15: 13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends' Despite Jesus' sacrifice on the cross for our redemption, a lot of Christian still go about searching for answers in things or fellow human, instead of abiding in Christ. Traditions and lusts have been promoted in some instances above Christ to the detriment of God's children kingdom life, promised by Jesus.
The lust for personal wealth instead of collective wealth has taken over the church, so much that pastors no longer think about the poor in the society or even in their congregation, but rather about themselves. Riding in posh vehicles and private jets is now the order of the day. According to these flamboyant pastors, a pastor that is poor is not called by God.
While, we certainly believe that God's children (the righteous) will never 'beg for bread', it is absolutely wrong for a pastor to buy, (for his personal use) a jet while the sheep that he is called to shepherd goes hungry, sometimes for days without food.
Politician goes to church in the day time and visit demonic shrines at night. They love the front sits, to show off their ill gotten wealth, but will simply tell you that true Christianity is for the poor. Some are still sacrificing to idols for things that are theirs by right.
'We are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all' and therefore need not sacrifice our eternity in the Kingdom for money, houses, cars, jets etc. Your focus always should be Jesus as the vine and you as the branch. Abide in Him that you may yield much fruits for the Kingdom and not just yourself. Do not add satanic worship, unacceptable sexual practices etc in order to acquire wealth. Jesus is the Lord, focus on Him and will soon discover that He is Enough.
