The week passes after weeks and I notice this brother was not in the Father House. I began to ask around. Many people may not know and even figure out what has actually happen to this brother.
Then I realize the best thing is to ask one of his close friends around that he occasionally fetch him home. This seems to be a good idea! Gathering from the conversation for the past four-week this brother has been ill relates by his acquaintance. Out of concern and sympathetic nature I immediately call up to this brother and began to ask about his condition and whereabouts. (By the way this brother has been around for many years in the church)
I immediately called, “Hello B-Boy how is you? I have not seen you for almost 3 week in the Friday meeting consecutively and I wonder what has happened. I understand from Stanley that you have been sick recently. I just want to call you and find out myself how are you doing and encourage you. I am worry on your unavailability!”
B-Boy replied, “Yes I have been not well and faces some problem recently. My car tire has puntured by nail and furthermore I am a bit tight on to finances to change a brand new tire that has already worn out for many months. I do appreciates and glad on your call expressing your love and concern. By the way there was none that are from the church that have ever called; only you have initiated. I am touch brother and really appreciate your encouragement phone call.”
I do offer my help to help but according to him he can managed.
This is an actual scenario that is happening in most of the Mega-Church that has run out of the sensitivity into the relationship on the love of God in action. Those planned series talk and background of sermon that has been rhetoric on and on to the congregation by the preacher. By selective message after messages, impounding and teaching people to steadfast after the way of our LORD. The question is there is no-show of any pro-active relationship, yield conviction and constant adamant on God love to evangelize and reach out even to the poor Christian in the church, such as above. It is a sad real story indeed!
How can the church that is so richly filled with million dollars of yearly donation and contribution from the congregation only so poor in it testimony of giving, caring and concern for the selective small group of congregation that is abandon and be sternly prejudice to those person because of economical poverty? How can the leadership of the Church from the top Senior Pastor down to the lay leaders cannot even notice this “missing entity” (by the way this brother is active and help out in most of the ministry) that is so precious in the kingdom of God? Where is the love of God? Where is the process of visitation by the Pastor reaching out to this people in the church? Where and who is to watch over those souls leading the church on poverty and loneliness? Where is the disciples and shepherding trait that forefront Jesus Christ spoken about?
Consider the, “Act 20:28-30” effect to the elder.
“Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood. I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock. Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them.”
Those stumble block, offences, unconcern attitude to stranger, cold treatment, discrimination, poverty, special treatment on status and title, membership division, racial application, partiality, earning and economical social status and self-righteous, pride and strong leadership character has been a destruction brick acting as a “wolves” to the growth of corner-stone in God kingdom. The overseers and shepherds that suppose to watch over the flock is only interested to the flock as commodity that is in giving valuable and abundance in financial application. It sad to hear some of the God people profess that they still need money to build the kingdom of God where they have large measure of million in their hands in church coffer.
We know that in this world monetary is the main application to the source of everything. To eat, to live and to channel financial blessing that connected and dissemination of physical supplement and need of the flock of the kingdom. But God does not see how good are we in able to manage and commercialize his Church into a cash cow generating comfortable place to worship and other supplication while we are on this earth. We just had forgotten that this ministry will NEVER set up in the first place without Christ as the head of the church. Thereafter to us as overseer, did we abide to all Jesus principles and teachings that he has shown and passed through us to be been consistent and untainted until to this present generation.
In explanation those who has conflicting and bias division on Christianity teaching and commandments has actually build a sect and their own religious tolerant to God’s kingdom while professing they love God; they lied in their series of worldly chain and bondage in paralyzing others Christian live through their action.
Hence this is equal to abusing and coveting God’s name in vain!
God Almighty himself is not very pleased with what those vigilant have done.
