GOD’S OWN CHAIN SUPERMARKET

GOD’S OWN CHAIN SUPERMARKET
Recently, I was inspired to write on the above subject by the synopsis from the sermon by Rev. Yomi Kasali. He was sharing from what he subjects-The Days of Elijah. With this , coupled with some of my own deep thoughts I came to a conclusion that ‘God now runs’ one of the most psychedelic, improved and well packaged chain supermarket, better still a business franchise with all kinds of stocks, stuff, services and goods on parade for any customer who cares to buy in… maybe I borrow the cliché KEY-IN. The likes of PARK ‘N’ SHOP, SHOPRITE, and NAPEX etc are being giving a run for their money. A competitor they are lest aware of, no thanks to the chameleonic or camouflaged nature of this new multi-faceted and spherical competitor.
Strange as this may sound, yet it bugs the mind to know it is true and the franchise is being run by some of the best and gifted Orator cum Marketer to have graced the 21st century business platform. Dressed in well designed designer suits with nice ties and accessories to match and armed with insights from the scriptures…scriptures? Surprised? Yes scriptures! Infact, that leads us to the core of the business process. As against acquiring degrees from some of the Best Business Schools as you would have expected of a Business Guru, these men are heavily armed with ‘scriptural details’ and registers with which their customer… ouch! I meant members or Clients who often time because of their itchy ears are being beguiled into buying into the franchise as against buying in to the kingdom.
The most amazing thing here is that GOD OWNS A CHAIN SUPERMARKET HE IS NOT THE ONE THAT RUNS OR ACTUALLY OWNS, BUT RATHER HIS NAME IS BEING ATTACHED TO THE BUSINESS DEALS FOR SELFISH GAINS. The most unheard of things are being heard o today in the church. MAMON! Actually owns this franchise and disguise with the name of the LORD. This franchise is all over the world, irrespective of the race or location. The children of darkness or better put MAMON now parades themselves as the children of Light –GOD. Aided by the pulpit they are undeserved of, they run their business from the sacred height of God’s pulpit.
Everything is being paid for. Miracles, grace, forgiveness, anointing, prayer and fasting (third party fasting) and anointing oil even Holy Communion etc. You can now have communion shipped to your doorstep with an amount. You need to fast and pray? Do not worry this franchise pray and fast for people with a price tag. You want breakthrough? Not to worry with a weighty amount, sow and go to bed… SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN, even if it doesn’t happen, don’t worry it will happen just keep sowing.
Please…God is not MOCKED! Honorariums are now being negotiated. Gospel Song Ministers… sorry! I meant Artist or better yet Gospel Entertainers are now negotiating their appearance fee. They (Artist and preachers) now select where to perform based on the size of the congregation or do I say audience. I asked myself, what happened to FREELY HAVE YOU RECEIVED AND FREELY YOU SHALL GIVE. Please note that giving and receiving of honorarium isn’t the issue at all, as it isn’t bad but NEGOTIATION is where the ills lie. YOU SHALL KNOW THE TRUTH AND THE THRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE. My people perish because they lack knowledge by inference my people excel because they have knowledge.
Where there are good people there are bad people. This implies that as much as we have businessmen running the business franchise in God’s name –calling it church for selfish interest, so also we have true Labourers in God’s vineyard (not franchise) working day and night for the Kingdom. The end is near… CAN THE REAL MEN OF GOD PLEASE STAND-UP!

    The ills and blasphemies of our time are pathetic and ridiculous. God help us to know the truth and stand by it inspite of the tyms.

Clouds forming off a crux whirl Thoughts come rolling awhile Of my past reminiscing in a matrix With turbulent unending affix From my curly lowly lonely hearts Whispering conscientious arts Reaching into imagination untold Hoping for positive to unfold Of possible plausible joy that could But not sure that's all that would Our humanity in this we see Of our flaws we suffer some fee Our mind travel but its often gaged By many, any and every often tagged Should I rise from all irrespective I only pray for a new perspective

...THEN YOU WILL BE GOOD ENOUGH

-

Growing up like other kids, we like you had different thoughts and many aims and ambitions. We had dreams of many things we would love to turn out to be. Even though we never know how we will get there but one thing we knew was that we want to be what we envisioned ourselves to be. Most times we tilted our ambitions or plan as the days went by and we grew up. But ultimately we wanted to be successful and flawless. We wanted to be as good as it gets and be good enough for all to see. In our minds we flew jets, traveled all over the world, walked on the moon, stood in front of millions to talk, sing or preach, we were signing autographs, became the huge successful singer or the irreplaceable actor, great and convincing  preacher, we owned more than we probably would need for ten generations. We smiled why fans cheered, took a bow when others screamed their lungs out. Camera lights flashing, paparazzi struggling to get a piece of us. Strive to be better and much more good ...

PRESSURE BURST PIPE

In a bid to live a happy life especially that which we dream of, we most often than not put pressure on ourselves and by extension we put pressure on that one person who love us the most, if not those who care about us … partner, friend or family. It is good to have dreams and ambitions. It is also relatively extremely important we pursue them tenaciously but as we do lets always remember the CAUTION Button so that we wouldn’t have to hit the PANIC Button later on. Very Important and Most Crucial, If we forget anything DON’T FORGET THIS! PRESSURE BURST PIPE!
