As a so called Christian nation, our land is filled with what I’ve
deemed as Recycled Christians or church hoppers. These recycled
Christians are persons who were members of (church A) for a year or two;
then shortly thereafter they’re now members of (churches B, C or D).
Or wherever there seems to be an atmosphere of religious excitement and
entertainment the recycled Christians will congregate such
as: (1) Conferences, (2) Seminars, (3) Concerts, and (4) The appearance
of celebrity religious leaders and entertainers.
There are some
significant working dynamics in play that contributes to the Recycling
of Christians such as follows below.
(1) If the Pastors /
Leadership are out of place or disconnected from the true source which
is Father Yahweh, then so is that congregation they‘re leading of which a
recycling process resides. Despite the fact that this congregations
maybe known in the community for the work they have done and is yet
doing.
Watch this! Here’s what Yeshuwa said:
Matt.7:
21. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the
kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in
heaven.
: 22. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we
not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out
devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
: 23. And then
will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work
iniquity.
(2) A church where the perception is that everything
is centered around the religious leaders and their immediate family.
(3)
A church where there is often allegations of sexual or financial abuse.
These three scenarios’ plays a very important role in the recycling of
Christians.
Then there is also another side to the recycling
syndrome that has the potential of lives being lost due to religious
leaders erroneously using the word of God to manipulate their
congregations to do certain things or to go in a desired direction.
The
average Christian today would readily declare that they would never
fall for such tactics; but unknown to many they’ve already fallen
victims to the subtile spirit of deception. In most cases due to the
lack of true spiritual
discernment and immaturity; and the love that the naïve Christian would
have for anything that resembles a movement of God, they are taken by
scrupulous religious leaders.
Watch this ! Jim Jones, the
founder and leader of the People‘s Temple Full Gospel Church of
‘Jonestown’ Guyana didn’t started out in the manner of which he ended;
as he led his 900 members / followers to their doom.
likewise David
Koresh, another church leader used the word of God and formed the Branch
Deviant cult in Waco Texas and led a number of his followers to their
doom.
That same spirit which took a hold of Jim Jones & David
Koresh has never left the religious atmosphere. In the book of
Jeremiah.23: 1-40, God deals with the prophets and priests who have
caused his people to err.
A very large percentage of today’s
Christians are living defeated, frustrated lives as this also leads to a
form of recycling as
the people shops from church to church seeking for a genuine fellowship
of believers.
Today’s church leadership bares the brunt of the
responsibility for the stagnation and recycling of the believers. As
church leaders have gone off doing their own thing and are lying to
God’s people. “Saying God said this and God said that” when in fact God
has not spoken to them.
Jer.23: 30-32
: 30. Therefore, behold, I
am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that steal my words every one
from his neighbor.
: 31. Behold, I am against the prophets, saith
the LORD, that use their tongues, and say, He saith.
: 32. Behold, I
am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the LORD, and do tell
them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness;
yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not
profit this people at all, saith the LORD.
Here’s a religious
saying that I would
leave you with to judge. Based upon this saying, it would seem as if
this religious god don’t know who he’s talking to.
Please note: this
saying is often heard at Religious Superstars conferences, Seminars and
emotionally charged church services.
“I don’t know who I’m talking
to, but God told me to tell you that He’s about to bless you” And the
entire church or conference goes wild in song & dance over that
pathetic (so-called) prophetic word.
Let’s stop the recycling!
