HOW HAS THE CHURCH FALLEN?

How has the church fallen so cheaply? How has the saving arm of God become a tool in the enemy's hand? How have we become cowards, giving up at the gates where battle rages? What exactly went wrong? What did we miss?

Church had been bought by Christ with His precious blood - He gave up rights to Himself and was crucified to end the era of sins but so soon, church became stained by her enterprise and volume of activities. How did we forget so quickly the prophecies of Daniel which were sealed for now, the end of times? Has it not been stated that the enemy would come ravaging, crushing and killing every saint there is, intimidating then sit in the place of God? How have we thought and reason that we never saw this enemy could be the very thing we loved most - money? Dan 8:21-27

See, money is rightly seated in church, exalted and everyone whose name is NOT written in the Lamb book of life is right there streaming, screaming to it in worship! Can't you see it? Are you blind still? Does it not occur to you? Are you so oblivious of this glaring evidence God's holy altar has against the church? Cannot you not see that everybody is dead!!??

If we were dead to sin, it'd be a happy thing, of joy to God and mankind because if one sins, I tell you earnestly, everyone does. To say the least brethren, one man's sin is everybody's headache. Maybe you don't know!

What has money given or done for us that we so much love and value it and promote people for it? Could money die for our sins? Can money stop us from sinning? Can money resurrect our mortal bodies? Does money possess power or the one we bequeath it? Can it make us live forever? Then, why value it? Why devote our bodies the holy habitation of the living God to the service of money than Humanity?

If the church (the saved arm of God) will repent, she must run away from money and run to God! FOR MONEY AND GOD ARE EQUAL AND OPPOSITE! The church must have no need for money but have all need for God and spend grace for its currency.

Come to think of it: the resultant effect money has brought us, liabilities! The church now has more liabilities than assets, care more for its property - name, fame, tame than having people in their proper steads. All that money has brought us is, need for more money - such an insatiable spirit that's never enough or would ever say so, the same spirit of hell!

The abomination that causes desolation is money! It'll also rise to abolish the daily sacrifices to God for many will no longer give "genuine" offering but cloven, wrapped, warped offering given with despicable intention, trailed to their own desires, given for the life of their enemies. Excuse me, that is no offering! Never acceptable to God. And when such offerings are collected, they end misappropriated, unseen by God.

What's money even doing in the church - where it was despised, beaten and fatally wounded by the Lord, Lord of the Sabbath? Who resurrected this money and gave it a voice in church? Let him be cursed!! May the God of heaven and earth, who made the universe remove his portion from Life. May he be utterly disgraced and discarded. May he his lot be with Judas Iscariot who left without bishoprics. May he not be found the day he's most needed or be found wanting in the day of reckoning! I decree.
