Most of we Nigerians, practice what I call,
HAPPY CLAPPY CHRISTIANITY..
Christianity; without depth or Substance. Our Christianity is a part of our Culture of Efficy:
Christianity; without depth or Substance. Our Christianity is a part of our Culture of Efficy:
We Penetrate, every Street Conner, with Churches like the British Corner Shops.
Yet Christ does not penetrate our Hearts. We Dance and Shout Halleluiah!!! Christ is the Lord!!!
Yet, Naira is the Lord of Our Hearts.
We Shout the Lord is Great!!!
Yet, Wealth and Material things, is Greater than the Lord for us.
The Scandinavians may not be “churchy”, but they are highly spiritual in their ways of life. Actually Christianity is the basis of all Western Civilization.
All the Love and Care that the Scandinavian Governments give to their Citizens is based on Bible Principles.
They use to be, very strong, Christian Nations. So Christ way of life has Penetrated their Hearts for many Generations it has become their Culture, a way of Life for them, their Nature.
For example Finland my adopted country, is the least Corrupt Country in the World. The worst thing, you can deeply hurt a Finnish Person with, is to call him or her a Liar or a Thieve.
Whereas, if you call, some of my Nigerian brothers; a thief, they will see it as a Complement. They will tell you, that, Money is in the Mouth of the Lion, Only the Brave ones, who are ready to Lie, Cheat, Steal, Kill or be Killed, can take the Money from the lion’s Mouth.
So, you can see the difference in the orientation of the two peoples. Although the Scandinavians might not go to the Church, Christ has Refined their Nature.
Whereas, my Happy Clappy, Nigerian Christian Brother, that practically lives in the Church has not allow Christ to Control his Heart.
Really, thinking about it, most of us Nigerians are First Generation Christians. We still see Christ as a (BABALAWO) the SHAMAN that has the Magic Wand to solve our Problems, like in the Days of Old when our Forefathers Consult with the Oracles.
In my Observations, Money is the God that most Nigerians Serve. They go to Churches to Receive their own Miracle. They Sow Seed; every time for same Miracle of Money and Wealth.
Yet, only the Pastors are Receiving the Miracles of Wealth and Private Jets. They contribute their meager funds into the Church’s School and University projects, yet, the school fees are too expensive for the congregation to send their Children to. Only the Corrupt officials can send their Children there.
I so much love God, for He is no Respecter of Stupidity. He does not bend his Laws to Human Frivolities.
He has given us everything we need to know in the Bible. If we are too lazy to pick up the Bible and read it for our selves, then too bad, we are on our own.
We were told in the Bible, that, we have one Father God, and that, Jesus Christ is the Only intermediary between us and God. If we then put our Faith in Pastors to Intercede between us and God, we deserve what we get.
If, after, He has warned us, that in the Last Days, False Prophets will Arise. Doing Wonders in his Name but He will Deny Them in His Father’s Kingdom. That, they are; Workers of Iniquities.
Yet, you give your money to every Jill, Jack and Harry Pastor, that is your own Problems.
We should all try to read the Bible for ourselves, at least to know what it is saying to us.
Also we should pray for the Holy Spirit of God to Minister Christ into our Heart, that we may have, a Christ like Mind.
So that, we may always Do The Right Thing.
I say to that, AMEN!!!!.
