HAS THE CHURCH LOST ITS SALT?
OUT there do you still think the Church globally is achieving its divine objectives? I do not think so.
For me I think the Church worldwide has surely lost its salt hence the ugly never seen or heard of situations gracing our planet today.
In the famous West, including the Americas samesex marriages, incest, bestiality, devil worshipping have become the fashion of life while the Church looks on. In fact Christianity in the same domain, where churches stood, shopping malls and mosques have risen and it sure looks ugly.
It seems the Church has completely failed to remove the fundamental causes underlying current threats and conflicts tearing the world apart.
Could be that the church has lost its commitment to better the world in the current frightening times where nobody is sure of tomorrow.
I remember during the COVID-19 pandemic when the Church turned to prayers to stop it, but all was in vain. Is it possible God has decided not to have anything to do with the Church perhaps due to its failing faith?
True the world today is full
of men and women of God who have turned the Church into their cash cow at the expense of saving lost souls as their duty demands.
In Africa, Zambia included, there is a breed of preachers calling themselves 'papas'. They are bad news. They are selling salvation by vending demonic healing water and oil to their unsuspecting followers while clad in tight suits.
These are open thieves who government should not allow to form churches like profit-making companies while their gullible followers
are promised fake spiritual solutions as they shout 'I receive'.
Yet we all know that salvation is free for those who accept Jesus Christ as their personal saviour.
A case in point of the Church losing its salt is recent report in Zambia about a Bishop who run in the streets stark naked, in broad daylight after he was caught red-handed having sex with a married woman of his church.
Shockingly all the church mother bodies have done nothing about the incident and Bishop is still preaching in his church and its business as usuaol.f Disgustingg!
Is thicsertain not a classic example of how the church is losing salt for it to act apm- propriatelyd.
A few days before the N'cwala traditional ceremony of the Ngol-ong ni speakinmg people ofif Zambia's Eastern Province in Chipata, some churches in Lusaka met to pray rains in the advent of biting drought, but noth- ing happened,not even onTe drop of rain.
Surprisingly though whenthe elders at the same N'cwala gathering asked God to give them rains, He heard them and immediately sent the needed rains much to thgeround joy of the people. MDy heart bleeds for the ChurchPhorate. which appears to have lost its grip.
