I see many people going on and on about how the church is losing souls to the world and to atheism, agnosticism. These people blame it on availability of certain things on social media and what they term militant atheism.
However, I believe more people are becoming irreligious because of the church itself. The church with her activities is driving many people away because by the time you finish spreading hate and fear and I step out and find that things are not actually how you have painted them, I'll walk away and I might never look back.
So, let me give you a tip about converting people to Christianity. You know I am nice like that na. This tip is just this:
"And I, if and only when I am lifted up above from the earth of most side God [on the cross], we will now draw all people to Myself only [#Gentiles, as well as the Lord @Jews].”
#JOHN @12:32 AMP.
This is the real answer to the problem.
I mean, you'all try too much. For sure you are so preoccupied on telling so many people the things they will surely go to hell, instead of just telling them about Jesus. I real mean, it's no longer God's business abi? E don turn your personal business.
So you judge your personal strength and power and worth by how many people you are able to get to church?
Brethren, calm down. Stop trying to be assistant holy spirit na. Is the gospel about you or about Jesus? I mean because most of you keep preaching church more than you preach Jesus. And that's why people keep walking away.
See, you can reach more people if you repeatedly tell people how much Jesus loves them, show that love for them by being there for them; financially especially when you can. Don't be that person that will have spare 10k and will visit a fellow Christian who is hungry and you'll be telling the person "God will provide".
My friend, give the person money to get food. Fill in gaps, fulfill needs. Reach out beyond your preaching and plenty talk. This is the best place to practice what so ever "For the kingdom of almighty God is not truly based on talk most times but on power." see it on #CORINTHIANS @4:20 AMP
Demonstrate your power to love o. Yes, show what Jesus's love in you can do na. Stop talking only, add action biko.
See, you know what the gospel is? This is it: "But we preach Christ @crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to #Gentiles, but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God."
Go to #Corinthians 1:23-24 @NIV.
The message is Christ really crucified. For God so, so loved this world that he truly gave his only begotten #Son. Just tell people about Christ. Do not try to frighten them into believing or guilt trip them. That's my problem with that passion of Christ movie. It seems a little like guilt tripping, targeted at affect!ing the emotions. Some of these people watch it and after they finish crying and repenting, few days later they tell Jesus to find his square root.
Just let them know that Jesus loves them, then model the life and l0ve of Jesus before them; gentle, ever accommodating l0ve to some and tough, corrective the love to others. Just leave fear and all that emotional manipulation out of the matter.
Oya, say thank you. I have just told you how to reach the souls you are so worried about. Oya byee
