10 Things the devil Loves about your Church.
These are the things the enemy likes to see happening in your church.
1. A DIVIDED CHURCH...A church with internal politics... The way people fight and quarrel in the church these days is embarrassing and disgraceful, the church is not a battlefield or playground ,it is a place where God ministers and speak to his children.
2. A SLEEPING CHURCH... A church that has no time to pray. The devil is not afraid of such a church A prayer less church is a worldly church a powerless church.
3. A CHURCH THAT IS BUSY PLANNING THAN PRAISING. ..he wants you to be more worried bout stopping on time, a church that doesn't allow liberty of the Holy Spirit.always organising crusaders which does not bring the desired results.
4. A CHURCH THAT PREACHES LOVE BUT PRACTICE HATE. Many churches preaches love but it is forgotten when they pass the gates of the church.
You dont show love to your enemies... Including those who don't agree with you
Those who do not dress like you.
Those who don't share the same opinion with you on certain issues.
Those that you ignore and look down on because they 're are
not rich and privileged as you are
Those that you slander because they don't do what you want them to do.
5. A STINGY CHURCH...Science tells us that if you only eat and don't release from the body you soon begin to stink.
Giving is a powerful way the church can grow.The GOD we are worshipping is the greatest giver.
6. A CHURCH THAT DOES NOT SERVE... The church does not exist only by collecting tithes and offerings... Care for the orphans, widows, the needy and the sick in very important. Pastors that build a mansion and barricade it with a high wall are deceiving themselves. Ask God what your mission is in your church and community.
7. A CHURCH THAT READ THE BIBLE BUT DOES NOT OBEY WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS.. The devil is not afraid of the Bible, he is afraid of holiness and it's power. Those who honor God's word honor the Holy Spirit, missions, Evangelism, teaching, the prohets and all the other gifts in the Bible.
8. A CHURCH THAT CONTROLS THEIR LEADERSHIP.. as a puppet. It is dangerous when your leader has no honor, no respect, it saddens me to see believers mocking,talking,laughing,belittling their pastors at his back. This is not honour God has placed him over your lives.
The devil will try to sow rebellion in your heart against everything holy.... No matter your level of education, wealth or position.. God has placed him over you... to sherpered, guide,teach and pray for you.
9.HOLINESS IS JUST A WORD.
Just after communion, hope you are not struck dead.... you go back to back biting,slandering,gossip etc.. Some years back in lagos,i accompanied a pastor home after church we where to have a meeting that afternoon... One of his children may have done something wrong.... the abusive words used by this man of God on his own son was uncalled for.
10.A CHURCH THAT ARE PEOPLE PLEASERS NOT GOD PLEASERS.
People go to church for various reasons. Just as God said.. Only him know the true worshippers. Those who worship God in spirit and in truth.
Some join a church because their friends are there.
Some because of business connection..
Some husbands are members of one church while this wife goes to anyone church. Can the the Holy Spirit manifest in this kind of senario. ?Revival after revival, The majority are not revived their lives are not transformed to the likeness of Jesus Christ.
The devil is laughing at such people who look so busy working for God.. But actually they are people pleasers and self servers.
