"You shall know them by their fruits and not the imaginary fruits they talk about or sing louder about"
Matt 7:15-20 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16
You will know them by their fruits.
Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? ......."
From the onset, you must understand that Religion has taken the supreme role of providing guidance on spiritual matters regarding man and his relationship with God including man's role on earth. More often than not we wrongly use the words religion and spirituality interchangeably. However, at its deeper meaning, religion refers to a specific set of organized beliefs and practices, usually shared by a community or group. While Spirituality refers more to individual practice and has to do with having a sense of peace and purpose. Spirituality also relates to the process of developing beliefs around the meaning of life and connection with others, without any set spiritual values this is as summarised by
ReachOutAustralia, a description in which I also do share. Therefore, you are either in the crowd or you are alone. But be warned that some crowds are just Gangs who are simply groups of frightened people whose identities or strengths lie in the identity or strength of the crowd or gang. But! Woe unto crowd members when the crowd is heading the wrong way, as a preacher would say. Religion has, therefore, been noted for its crowd-pulling capacity towards the set of organized beliefs. Whether these sets of organized beliefs have helped anyone, it's for you to judge correctly or incorrectly. My take is that if the religion truly had the required growth message, the majority of the people filling up congregations every worship day would not be wallowing in poverty since growth would have been evident in the people's lives
Religion in my view has come in Sheep's clothing singing about the great things that await the faithful which also include the glorious place of honor in heaven where there shall be no more shedding of sorrowful tears. Yet to my surprise, to ensure there is control of entry onto heaven's guest list, religion lays out sets of rules and regulations as part of the sacred standards (laws) that fit their definition of righteousness required for heaven. Some religious entities have even tried to set the dress code, speech style, lifestyle including what one can or cannot do, eat, drink, read, or watch as part of the heaven's qualification criteria. Whether these so-called spiritual standards can or can not be achieved by followers is for you to judge otherwise, to ensure that religion is an entity of power, it continues to dangle the carrot of Heaven and Hell that forces individuals into a lifestyle of continuous mental and lifestyle editing to keep the spiritual slate clean.
Carl
Sagan, in his writing "The Demon-Haunted World" once wrote the following "If we're absolutely sure that our beliefs
are right, and those of others wrong; that we are motivated by good, and others
by evil; that the King of the Universe speaks to us, and not to the adherents
of very different faiths; that it is wicked to challenge conventional doctrines
or to ask searching questions; that our main job is to believe and obey, then the witch mania will recur in its infinite
variations down to the time of the last man".
Flashback; In the year 2008, I (the author) was given an opportunity to study in Osaka, Japan. Upon arriving in that nation, I was amazed by the level of development, creativity, and technological innovation that the nation of Japan had achieved over the years. Compared to my third world country of origin at that time, it was like paradise for lack of a better term. The first thought that crossed my mind was that truly the almighty God should be living in this part of the world and probably God only assigned his spiritual agents to watch over my underdeveloped country somewhere in Africa. Was this nation (Japan) a Christian nation to have achieved so much basing my assumption on the religious teaching that I have received all through my life that true success comes only through believing and receiving Christ Jesus? Well No! I didn't see any trace of it whether in symbols or any prominence of the 10 commandments. As a matter of fact, according to the annual statistical research on religion in 2018 by the Agency for Culture Affairs, the Government of Japan, 69% of the population practices Shintoism, 66.7% Buddhism, Christianity1.5%, and 6.2% other religions.
The question then was what do the Japanese or the Western countries know that people or believers in my predominantly Christian nation do not know that have made them enjoy the kinds of success I witnessed. For all I knew was that believers in my country gather in multitudes on Sundays and other days to worship, pray, prophesy, fasting including spending sleepless nights in the mountains to seek God's favor for the promised kingdom life the Bible has so gloriously talked about. Probably it was our definition of a kingdom life that was different in my country. Despite all these so-called spiritual acts, poverty reigns high among the people. Through these set of confusing facts about the man and his relationship with God the creator and the evidence before in Japan, I came to the realization of a few insights that probably has distorted our approach to life as we know it and I list them as follows:
- The idea of God in my Christian world is derived from the Jewish Bible both from the Old and New Testament scriptures. True, the Bible is a divine collection of spiritual wisdom in the written holy scriptures. Arguments arise on which version of the Bible is in use in the Christian world and whether it is the correct version or not but I do not want to labor in those matters in my letter because the truth is that there is a God no matter the version. One thing I have learned is that wisdom is more often than not told in parables. It's a common practice I have seen even in my native culture when it comes to imparting wisdom. I once asked a wise old man why wisdom is relayed in parables and he gave me a shocking answer that parables are told so that fools can become more foolish and the wiser even wiser. Its a question of either taking the smoke or the real fire. The old man went further to reveal to me that when wisdom is told in parables with predominantly symbolic language, the truth under the wisdom will transcend time and will be able to fit scenarios in different generations and their unique social developmental variants. Therefore, if the Bible is a book of spiritual wisdom, it could then be deduced that the biblical stories and accounts purposely were written as parables replete with symbols or codes pointing to the spiritual truths that God wants us to find in order to govern, dominate, and multiply on this earth in accordance with the original plan for man on earth. We can then safely say that the context in which religious teachers translate the biblical texts to the followers determines the direction the followers direct their perceptions and predominant belief systems with reference to the truth. Either the followers get caught up in the biblical content (stories) and get trapped in there which they also continuously tell to others as-is, year in year out, or others who are curious enough find the truth of the wisdom hidden under the content (stories) or parables so to say, assimilate it and sets them free to transform their lives for the good of all. The people who win in this life are the ones who endeavor to find that spiritual truth or the treasure that makes them operate as creators on this earth according to the original mandate. But those who eulogize the biblical stories including creating songs about the stories, forever, remain storytellers and proud members of the 'Hear-say' group of the fruits of the promised kingdom which they cannot demonstrate in their lives while innocently wallowing in poverty. Even in a Court of law, hearsay is not admissible as evidence to be considered.
- God lives in Heaven and Man lives on the physical Earth. God created the earth and man has to deal with the earth, God created the mountains and man has to climb them. Therefore, the one who has problems on earth is the man, not God. God gave the man the mandate to govern on Earth, multiply, and dominate. However, God ensured that everything the man will need is already provided for in God's creation. Evidently, if you need a chair, there is a tree provided with the raw material and if you need meat there are animals moving around with the uncooked dish in their bodies waiting for man's calling and the list is endless. You follow so far? What then is the problem? The problem could either be that man does not know that he has the power to create anything he desires and the raw materials are already present, or the man has been told that he falls short of the glory that can give the man the power to fulfill his mandate to create anything he desires. For example, the only way that a man would be sitting on a rough stone even when there is a potential existence of chair somewhere is when he does not know that there is a comfortable chair hidden in a tree, does that make sense? the issue that comes into play is that the divine wisdom of creation is already built up within the man and he knowingly or unknowingly does not know that he can reach out to the deeper self that has the capacity to connect with the man's intellect to transform what is in the spiritual into physical reality. The question is, who is to blame? Remember ignorance is no defense, you will feel hunger whether you know or do not know that you need to eat food to feel better
- God is sovereign and He has no problem being God whether man worships or not. However, perceptions in religious circles try to insinuate that God runs the risk of ceasing to be God if He runs short of man's worship while in a war with one of His creation, the devil and it is also perceived as though with little worship God might lose the battle. Seriously, was the devil a creational accident that was not anticipated and God has to embark on damage control to keep the evil creation in check. or was the presence of the evil part of God's plan. It is as though God demands worship to the extent that people can even kill for it to protect their God. Can God require protection from a mortal man who can even killed by a coronavirus? It appears as though everyone is always on the lookout to ensure their name is on God's guest list of worshippers and not to have their name on the list of the devil's advocates. In my opinion, God knew what He was doing and what we call evil must have been a necessary ingredient in the equation of creation. We need darkness in order to know the existence of light. You only know that you are short when you stand beside someone taller than you. Does that make sense?
- Religionists assume that God is only associated with light and not darkness and as such believers must pray that darkness stays as far away from their abode as possible. Fact check; Genesis 1:1-3 tells us a different story. God actually created light out of the darkness. Think about it, why are you thanking God for your life right now? One could have been abused at one stage in their life while staying in one town which forced them to flee to safety in another town where they finally met their true love, their dream job including probably finding their life purpose and passion. Today's life is replete with such stories that start with darkness and end in glory. without darkness, you will never know the light. You will never know who you are until you know who you are not. Albert Einstein put it this way “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.” Look you have been a faithful Christian and you are still struggling even to have a meal. Check your thinking and mindset. We are all born to be masters yet we have allowed those who have a vested interest in defining who we should be to determine what we should become in order to perpetually need their approval always. Religion will never allow you to rise above its definition of greatness, which put simply means nothing above the shoulders of the spiritual leader. I have experienced leaders who consistently wanted to create sons and daughters in congregations with the sole aim of maintaining control. When did God have spiritual grandchildren? We are all God's children and responsible for our own actions. Does that mean there can never be a set of a spiritual hierarchy? Of course, hierarchies will always be there because there will always be those who spiritually mature faster than others. However, that does not mean that it should create a family of control as has been the case in some circles I experienced with disastrous consequences. If I had the chance I would even warn political leaders to be wary of religious leaders (especially the so-called prophets) who want to call them their sons. These are red flags for evil control which is a recipe for a well-calculated impending unethical control
- In religious circles, I have come to understand that it is assumed that to be successful you have to live a life of miracles. The implication is that you need something outside of yourself to do something for you without you doing nothing about it but probably only pray. I am not saying miracles should never happen because I know that in extreme situations when we are pushed between the rock and the hard place, God is obligated to intervene for you and I. God created the human being as self-contained, a divine machine that is able to achieve abundantly, exceeding and above all that can be imagined. This means that human beings were created as miracle creation machines and masters by default until religion changed the default settings to install slavery in humans. In order to assume control over other people, some religious leaders have even resorted to the use of psychology, mentalism, magic, and hypnosis to fool members with some spiritual tricks or illusions as divine miracles or acts of spiritual presence. Let me refer to hypnosis which I think I saw happening in some congregations were followers were heavily hypnotized without realizing it. The problem with hypnotized people is that the only truth they will know is the one coming from the hypnotizer (the spiritual leader). According to the Oxford dictionary, Hypnosis is "the induction of a state of consciousness in which a person apparently loses the power of voluntary action and is highly responsive to suggestion or direction" Under hypnosis, a follower can be instructed to sell all his or her property and give the money to the spiritual leader without even thinking about or do many other things at the behest of the hypnotizer. Think carefully, you could have been a victim or are about to be one in the name of being a faithful servant! The Apostle Paul warned in 1 Cor 7:23 "You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of men"
- Religious people mistake praying for thinking. Religious people think they can easily pray themselves to success and prosperity. My country is amongst the largest copper producing countries in the world except that none of the copper is dug out by prayer but by technological machines built by thinking. Therefore, prayer does not fall in the equation of economic success but thinking and doing does so. While we should set aside time for prayer as part of our personal spiritual journey, we should also set aside time for thinking economic solutions because the earth is man's responsibility to manage and make prosper in every way. Ideas only come to those who spend time thinking. I know that some people will tell you about prayer and meditation except, in the Christian circles, the act of meditation has never been fully defined because the only thing I witnessed was prayer with some noise for lack of a better term. What is meditation? research and find out about it. You will benefit from the practice
- In Religious circles, praying in Tongues is described as being in a state of communicating with the Holy Spirit. Therefore, in Pentecostal circles, one must be able to receive the gift of speaking or praying in strange or let's call them angelic tongues to be considered spiritual. I do not wish to cast any doubt concerning the gift of Tongues as it is also alluded to in the New Testament Bible, but I only wish to ask searching questions. In biblical scriptural context, the Holy Spirit is God and in fact, in some verses, the Holy Spirit is referred to as the third person in the God Head (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) Matt 28:19. If the Holy Spirit is God, then He is the Creator of all things and holds the secrets and principles behind the creation we see and experience every day. How wonderful it should be to have millions of tongue praying believers talking to the creator Himself every day. However, the tongue praying believers never come down from the spiritual encounter with any new ideas, creations, solutions or innovations to reveal to other believers or the world at large on what's going to be hot on the market. I say this because, if anyone is able to enter the spiritual realm, they should be able to see what is already in spiritual but not yet manifested into the physical. Believers need wealth, money to be specific, but wealth is created out of creating solutions to some problems that other people are willing to pay for. No human being no matter how spiritual they can be does not want to eat and have shelter both of which require money to acquire. We see believers working regular jobs to earn a living while others are involved in some form of income-generating businesses. Wouldnt it be a good idea to up the game and enter into some serious money-spinning gigs selling big-time never seen or experience solutions straight from the father's realm. I am just saying!
- They insist that God demands his tithe yet not even Jesus Christ demanded it nor spent any time trying to teach about it. Who should receive or eat the tithe? Fact check, according to Deuteronomy 14:22 - 29, The Tither should eat it and nobody is going to hell for not paying tithe. They say tithe should be given to the tribe of Levi and the Pastors are the Levites. Sorry, no one can become another tribe by faith otherwise every black person is white by faith. The tribe of Levi can be found in the nation of Israel. Jesus taught about giving because it is a universal principle that has a ripple effect of multiplication in a giver's life. I know, someone will say you are promoting spiritual anarchy by letting people rob the almighty God of his share. Well, I wouldn't be so sure about that because Jesus said in Matt 25: 45 "Then the King will answer, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for Me. ...."
- Oneness with God; Jesus while on earth declared the following in the presence of Jewish leader John 10:30 "I and my father are one" this statement did not go well with the Jewish leaders of the day to the extent that they wanted to stone Jesus at that point. Jesus was simply setting the record straight to the truth that God and man are one and they can never be separated. The Jewish doctrine of the time was about the message of separateness where man and God live on opposite sides of the shore with an evident separation gap in between them. Jesus was truly fearless because while the Jewish teachers were telling the flock that God was only dwelling in the tabernacle in the holy of holies behind the temple curtains, Jesus was on the loose teaching his followers that they were actually the temple of God and the kingdom of God was within them and they are actually gods (John 10:34, Psalms 82:6, Luke 17:21). Unfortunately, the gospel of separation exists to this day. In my view, it is perpetuated by selfish interests by those with a vested interest in keeping the majority in a state of want of a close relationship with the supposed God who is separate from them. How can you look for something you already possess? it's like God looking for God where the result is an endless pursuit of something that never wants to be found. When the actual truth that needs to be told is to awaken the majority to the reality of the presence of God in them and help them to connect with that God essence in them. What is the real fear of telling people that they are actually gods and life does not happen to them but they make life happen through their fears, love, hatred faith, and so on? Truth be told, the spiritual drug of inadequacy that congregants have constantly been hooked on such that they keep coming for more every church gathering hoping to get a fresh fix that sorts out their problems but never does anyway, will one day wear out and people's eyes will finally open to the truth.
- Conversations with God. Do not believe those who tell you that God only talks to special people! No! Everyone is special that is the reason you were born in this life. God talks to everyone and its just a question of who is willing to listen. God is talking every time except that we mistake his voice for demons since what we may hear most of the time when we pay particular attention to the inner voice doesn't or may not fit well with what our so-called spiritual fathers have been teaching us. We would rather get someone else to interpret what God is saying even when that interpretation doesn't make any spiritual sense, Its time we all started paying attention to that inner voice that has on countless times helped us to evade danger.
It’s time to get real. Who has set the rules of engagement? Who has hacked the spiritual frequencies such that the answers to our fervent prayers are being rerouted somewhere else and the angel Gabriel who is supposed to deliver the good tidings is being directed to the wrong forwarding address. Why are we getting the smoke and not the real fire while other people who don’t even pray like we do are getting the real juice? It seems even fashionable at the end of what is considered an intense prayer session in our congregation to hear someone say, “The Lord loves us and he has answered all our prayers” Come on people! that is not anything new and if God has answered, what was the problem? How ironic it is that you are praying here, somebody in China, Japan, or in the Western countries is the one getting the revelation and bringing out something new, and all you can say is that God has answered our prayer? God’s love is eternal whether you declare it today or yesterday, it will never change. By the way, God answers even before you asked Isa 64:24. So let’s stop playing that religious game, we have been at it for far too long. No wonder we see books coming out of religious folks full of nothing but hearsay while other nations are shipping real products with practical user manuals. How can we be so spiritual and full of education (probably wrong education) yet full of nothing transformational but packed in our garages of self-pity buried in the illusion that acquiring just one more academic degree will make you rich? Of what good is all the education if we will still die poor? Look we have a parable in my native language that says “Kansendeleko Yatanine Inkoko Amebele” which literally means the reason why the chicken has no breasts is that at creation when the creator was dishing out free breasts to animals, the chicken decided to send the dog to collect for it but, Alas the dog collected and kept everything and that’s why the dog has excess breasts and the chicken has none, so the saying goes. Are you following? Do we believe that we can send other people to mine the minerals for us hoping they will come and share the loot with us? Not in this lifetime but in your dreams, I can assure you! We have dwelt long enough on that mountain of lamentation and its time to move into the Promised Land. What really scares us to take risks? is it fear of failure or did we send the wrong people to spy the Promised Land for us and only to bring back scarry portraits of Giants in high definition, which have also accepted and stuck on the screens of our minds as a reminder why we can't even dream to dare try? Who has bewitched us? There is no rocket science here, let’s just wake up
To illustrate what religion has so far achieved with the defacto super-man, let me use the metaphor of the story of the Bugatti sports car.
I am using the Bugatti sports car, not as part of a sales campaign for the brand on behalf of the makers but to symbolize metaphorically a rare product in the family of motors vehicles on the roads of my country at the time of writing this letter to stress my point in this overall dialog. Any words that may suggest otherwise were not intentional.
You may or may not know that and according to the Bugatti website, "
the Bugatti sports car is one of the fastest sports cars which reaches an average top speed of 400KM/hr. Its described as a unique masterpiece of art, form, and technique, that pushes boundaries of technology beyond imagination. The atmosphere in the interior is said to have been designed to be pleasantly cool despite the baking heat outside. it is further said that no draughts can be felt at all as the way to create a sense of comfort that is very noticeable even though it’s completely invisible". It could be described as the epitome of technological sophistication if you like. Therefore, owning this masterpiece of a sports car would have been a priceless experience, at least in my country at the time. Now let me tell you a story (Metaphor):-
There was an African driver known as Umuntu who had heard about the wonders of the Bugatti sports car and decided to order one straight from the manufacturer's showroom. Having paid all the required price fees, the manufacturer shipped the latest Bugatti model with its manual to Umuntu at the provided forwarding address. However, the manufacturer, having prior knowledge that Umuntu will not know how to drive the shipped Bugatti to its fullest extent and enjoy all its sophistication, decided to send a demo driver known as JC to go and conduct a demo drive for Umuntu for three days to give a test of what he will enjoy the rest of his time with the sports car. The demo driver JC meticulously demonstrated to Umuntu through different scenarios of test drives on every aspect of the Bugatti sports car and referred to the car manual on how to go about the other extras provided for in the Bugatti experience.
Umuntu was so happy and excited at his new drive and talked endlessly about his experience of the Bugatti Speed, comfort, and excellence embedded in the beautiful machine during the test drive. Demo drive JC explained to Umuntu how the Bugatti will help Umuntu experience efficiency in meeting appointments and accomplishing tasks in faraway places within record time as the Bugatti's speed will get him to destinations on time. At the end of the three days of demonstrations, the demo driver JC bed farewell to Umuntu and flew back to the manufacturer base. The demo driver JC further informed Umuntu that despite whatever he had demonstrated with the Bugatti during the test drive, there was still much more that the Bugatti could accomplish if Umuntu was willing to try. Upon leaving, JC left Umuntu with his private mobile number on which contact can be made should Umuntu encounter challenges in handling the new Bugatti. After JC had left, Umuntu spent the whole night reading about the car from the provided manual. Umuntu memorized the chapters about the Bugatti with a photographic memory to the extent that he could describe the Bugatti in critical detail as though he was the one who manufactured it
Two days following the demo driver JC's departure, Umuntu's friends visited him in the hope that they could see how Umuntu would handle his priced Bugatti and show how much he had learned from the demo driver JC. However, to the surprise of his friends, Umuntu spent the whole time while with his friends on praising his Bugatti's model and how magnificent the model was. Umuntu talked to his friends about Bugatti's gear, transmission, cooling, interior, and convertible system with pride which made his friends envy him even the more. However, despite the wonders of the Bugatti that they heard that day, Umuntu did not drive his Bugatti, it was just parked in his wonderfully designed garage. The friends thought that probably Umuntu wanted to give them an introductory piece for that day in readiness for a real test ride the following. The friends showed up at Umuntu's resident the following day hoping for test drive but Umuntu seemed not to have been ready and continued to tell them more stories about the Bugatti and the amazing testimonies of other Bugatti owners around the world that he had read about. The friends showed up again and again but the Bugatti was still parked in the garage and worse Umuntu started composing praise songs about how the demo driver JC managed to drive the Bugatti in Africa to the amazement of onlookers. The songs of praise for the demo driver JC were heard by the entire community, but the Bugatti was still parked. At one point his friends witnessed Umuntu making a call to the demo driver JC and hoping that they will witness the final call that makes Umuntu get into the Bugatti and let it roll to show more onlooker what the piece of technology could accomplish, but to their surprise only to hear Umuntu telling JC how everyone desires to own a Bugatti and drive it like JC and also decided to form a JC Fun club for Bugatti sports car owners. Umuntu decided further to created a statue for the demo driver in his yard and encouraged his friends to come and give homage to the demo driver's statue as a form of good luck for those wishing to own a Bugatti. But the Bugatti was and is still parked to this day despite the stories of its wonders going around in Umuntu's community. The community heard about the wonders of the Bugatti but no one had seen it being driven ever.
The moral of this story is that man was mandated to drive the creator's vehicle (Bugatti). Jesus Christ (demo drive) came and demonstrated how this amazing vehicle called man is able to do and accomplish in three years. However, when Jesus left earth upon completion of the demo drive (demonstration of the power of the kingdom in man), the man has packed the creator's vehicle and instead started singing songs about what Jesus accomplished in the Creator's vehicle (a good gesture indeed). Man sings about a better life God is able to create using the creator's vehicle as demonstrated by Jesus yet man dares not to start that God kind of vehicle on because he has been told you fall short and must be content with the crumbs of life. Man has memorized the Jesus story to the extent of getting lost in the content (stories) and missing the truth of what Jesus tried to communicate in the process. Instead, man has created doctrines based on Bible stories and the vehicle called man is still parked. The doctrine that only trying to get believers to qualify for heaven after death while watching life pass them by. Religion has turned the Jesus told parables into songs without taking time to dust them for the kingdom truth that transforms and changes lives in every possible way for better to the glory of God. Religion has spent ages trying to describe God in deeper detail about the nature of God, His operations, the way he thinks, and how He makes the visible things from nothing, yet the machine or abode through which He is supposed to achieve all these wonders is still parked in the garage of religion. How right the Apostle Paul was when he said in 2 Timothy 4: 3
For the time will come when men will not tolerate sound doctrine, but with itching ears, they will gather around themselves teachers to suit their own desires. 4 So they will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.… Each religious persuasion has gathered itself teachers to teach their version of the truth. The worst of all evils is that religious songs have been composed that reinforces the idea that man is nothing and actually sung in the first person that goes like
" Lord I am nothing, don't leave me in my struggles but remember me in paradise when this life is over" You must know those songs, don't you? They are a confession of the singer. I mean the person singing whether it's you and the rest of the congregation. Prov 18: 21 "Life and death are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit" Be careful what your confesses because you might just eat that fruit
Every person should realize that the power of life and death lies in the power of the tongue and those that love it will reap from it. The man should by now have learned from experience because anyone that comes to you in the spirit of lifting another man's status even financially would say " let me show you how to generate wealth". Why do they put it that way? its because they know that wealth does not exist externally and hence they can't give you wealth but they acknowledge that the potential of wealth lies with you and hence, they can only show you how to activate the wealth generator in you. “The kingdom of God does not come with observation; nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you” Luke 17:21. Nothing happens to you without your consent. Therefore, you have the power and stop listening to those telling you that you have none
Get into your Bugatti start the engine and roll the creation machine into action to bless everyone whose destiny is linked to yours. Why are you in a hurry to go to heaven? Don't you think that if God wanted you in heaven, he would have sent you straight there and keep you there permanently? What are you afraid of because no one gets out of this life alive as one wise man once said. Are you catching the drift here? God invested an industry in you, maybe you are a singer, a writer, innovator, or distributor and If you have not yet started on the journey of bringing out and developing that God-given industry, then everyone who is supposed to be employed in it will remain unemployed or unfulfilled. Do you think it makes spiritual sense to send people to heaven while allowing them to die of hunger and extreme poverty on earth in the name of achieving righteousness? Think very very carefully
