THE TRUTH ABOUT BUSINESS AND LIFE IN KENYA

CHURCH BUSINESS!

Have you ever asked yourself where the money contributions you make in your church go?
Have you ever asked yourself why churches are never audited?
Have you ever wondered why and how churches all over the world have become so rich?
I have an idea as to why.
Wikipedia explains the meaning of the following religious terms;
Let me dwell on the Christian Church meaning, as they are the folllowers of Jesus Christ. Christ in the Bible cursed and chased away the men and women conducting business inside the Temple of God.

Fast forward to today. We have become so money minded that we have lost the meaning of worship. Kenyans pay to be prayed for. Kenyans pay for their pastor's vacations in  high end resorts around the world. Kenyans buy their pastors expensive cars ranging from Range Rovers, Mercedes Benz S Class, you name it.

What is even more shocking are the TV broadcasts disguised as evangelical messages where they put their phone numbers from all the networks and ask for your handsome donations. They even go to the extent of telling you to sell your belongings and bring the money to the church and God shall bless you with more.

I attended a service where a pastor had the guts to force each family in the congregation to donate Kshs.50,000 for the construction of his house inside the church compound. What is more interesting is the way he cited the property that some members in the congregation had.
I have witnessed pastors lying that they can heal diseases through prayer. Christians part away with thousands of money and sometimes millions in the name of church healing. Open your eyes my friends. just recently, I saw the e-church business where they explained that they would advise you, pray for you, link you to healers all of this for an undisclosed amount of money. Sad but true.

If you think am lying, the next time you go to church pay attention to the way your pastors dress, where they live, the cars they drive, the friends they hang out with and their investments.

I am not saying that they are all business centered but it seems that is the trend nowadays.
I appreciate what the word of God does in our lives but let us be careful because the false prophets have landed my friend and they will suck u dry.

Jesus Christ never asked for anything. He was a giver. He was a healer. He never once asked for anything in return. He only prayed and asked people to believe in the Almighty Father.
If you have money, I suggest you tithe to the homeless children, the poor, the hungry, the disabled, the unfortunate and the genuine Christian Churches.
We have been warned, so listen! lest you burn in hell.

Have a thoughtful weekend Christians!
