TWO SIDES OF A "COIN"

Hi Folks, today was a day of Mixed reactions for me, I had a taste of two sides of a coin called "MINISTRY".
Let me Start by thanking the Lord for the Life of all living beings!
While rushing to Church in a taxi cab for a Dance Ministration, i noticed an unusual spectacle around Apapa. A bus parked by the road side was giving out Free Meals to roadside beggars, cripples, touts and what we Nigerians would popularly describe as Less privileged.
What actually caught my attention was the popular logo of the REDEEMED CHRISTIAN CHURCH OF GOD (R.C.C.G) on the bus.

Many people gathered in a single file as Free Meals where handed to them this Blessed Morning, and i thought to myself... What greater show of the Love of Christ by the Church could exist in this cruel and selfish world, than a selfless participation in the welfare of total strangers?





A miracle was taking place in broad daylight in the life of many, through a show of love and care for our fellow man. May God replenish all the effort invested by the REDEEMED CHURCH.

That sadly brings us to the other side of the COIN... Churches or Ministries as they are called seem to have forgotten the essence of their existence.
A lot of churches, chase after Money...Money!.... and More Money!!!
Actually Money is important in Ministry, but the question is... FOR WHAT!!!????
Churches pride themselves in Building State of the Art structures, having Million Naira investments, and Focus less on what is Needed.... SOUL WINNING.
The only Reason the World remains a reckless place is Because Ministries have sold their Souls to "Capitalism, Prosperity messages and Projects."
The needy, less privileged and a lot of Unbelievers hear the Gospel Of Christ but don't seem to believe, simply because We cant "Live what we Preach".
Drama, Choral and Dance Ministries that exist in Churches are viewed as ENTERTAINMENT by Leaders Of the Churches and are Constantly frustrated, due to lack of financial support or encouragement in Using them as TOOLS for EVANGELISM and SOUL WINNING.
A lot of Churches have Lost Sight on What is Expedient, which is the Everyday Battle For Souls by the Kingdoms Of LIGHT AND DARKNESS.

God will Save Us.... but all i can say is "Do something GREAT for JESUS... Bleed For The TRUTH... and above all.... WAKE UP!!!
