This
is Rev. Njohi of the Lord’s Propeller Redemption Church in Kenya who became
popular for passing a law which
banned female members from wearing underwear to church service. The ridiculous law makes
one wonder if the well dressed pastor is wearing any underwear himself. Secondly,
why will members of his congregation even listen to him besides that where in
the Bible is it written that one should come into the house of God without
underwear? I am always get so angry
whenever I hear things like this; it makes me so sick to my stomach. I really can’t
understand why Africans are not only generally religious but at times they can
be quite stupid in their actions and believes.
Most Africans will only believe
the man on the pulpit rather than kneeling down and praying earnestly to God.
Are we not all praying to the same God? Do you think that the man that claims
to be a man of God hears him faster than yourself? Absolute rubbish!!!!
For quite some time, I have
know the almighty God in his many names such as Jehovah, El Shaddai, El Elyon, Shammah, Adonai,
Jireh (Yireh) and my personalized name for him is Jehova Over do.
He is a good God and he
hears us all. There are times when I get so depressed over life situations and
battles and I absolutely feel that he has forgotten me but when I think of his
mercies and all the beautiful things he has done for me in the past without me
even asking, it reaffirms my faith in him to not only trust him but believe
that in his own time he will answer my prayers.
So my fellow African first
and foremost you ought to have a personal relationship with God. When you are
connected to him and you have the Holy Spirit dwelling inside of you then you
are able to discern when a word is false. Some words that are preached by most
men are honestly not from the throne of Grace ( God) There are times when they
preach based on what their flesh tells them to do or what they want the
congregation to do that will please them physically.
However, if you are filled
with the Holy Spirit, you will always have that peace and conviction that the word
spoken is from God. So next time a pastor tells you to come to church naked or
tells you to do something that is not contrary to the will of God, you either
leave that church and look for another Bible believing church or challenge the
pastor by asking him to show you where it is written in the bible.
Be wise!!!
