Two speakers argue that Christians must move beyond ritual and prayer to concrete action meeting people's physical needs. They warn that ignoring God's gifts leads to spiritual abuse, and call the church to embody heaven's culture through purposeful service, not empty religion.
Chapters
It is difficult to preach the heaven that people have not felt the taste of it. We can't— what I'm trying to show you is that we are all that God is counting on. We are all that he's counting on. The church The body of Christ, Pentecostal movement, CAN, Anglican, all of us. God has no plan B, and the moment we fail, the world is doomed. So what is his intention? Let the kingdom come. Let my will be done. So is it his will somebody is being slaughtered? Talk to me now. Is it his will that a woman is dying because she could not afford ₦5,000 to drop as deposit for atinapa? Talk to me now. Is this his will? If somebody is sick Somebody is sick and I'm here with the anointing to pray for the person and be healed. God doesn't have to come down because I'm here.
Sometimes we find it easy to administer the anointing, but what if somebody is broke and now it's not prayer, it is to bring out what he gave you. You don't know that that thing you have is kingdom purpose.
And when the purpose is not known, you'll abuse it. You will abuse it. You will abuse it. You will abuse it. This is the intention of God: stop empty religion. Empty. And when I talk about religion I'm making you understand that Christianity is not a religion.
It's not one of those things that is just about some prayer. No, it is the kingdom of God expressed here. It's more. The word in Matthew 16 there, when he said, I will build my church, is not a building. It's ecclesia, house of power, house of senate, a legislative body.
Hey, if in the next 10, 20 years everything is still like this, if in another 30, 40 years, ah, your old age, you will not be spared.
