The Love of Christ Is Lost In Our Churches
by aproko .me Babcock University Authority released the school fees for the next academic session and the students are frowning at it. See it below: 1) Medicine- N3million ($18911.94) 3) Law- N2million ($12607.96) 2) Accounting- N1.5million ($9455.97) 4) Nursing- N1million ($6303.98) 5) Others- N860,000 ($5421.42) The last time I checked, Babcock University is a Christian University under the guise of a nonprofit organization just like other Christian Universities in Nigeria. The funds for the school set up came from its rich and majority poor members' offerings, Tithes and special givings, yet it is no news that most of them can't send their children to the school due to the outrageous school fees. How could they had demanded such a huge amount of money from a country whose citizens live below $2 a day? The missionaries back in those days used their hard-earned-money to give us free education, they were not for any reason indebted to us other than the very 'love of Christ'. Why can't our Churches today emulate them by giving us not even free but cheap education? Our religious leaders do not relent in castigating the Government for their irrational governance and hardship imposed on its people yet they do same at every given opportunity. Churches compete with organizations in terms of structures, yet Sister Sarah, the head of prayer warrior keeps vigil when it rains at night to drain the pool of water in her one room family of six apartment. Our Pastors fly in private jets while their ushers-turned-body-guards do not have a spoke of a bicycle. "God will do it, "Keep giving," that's what they say. "Why can't you do something first sir?" I wish one of them could ask. Members engage in fraudulent acts in their various places of work just to compete with other brethren in terms of giving. Brother Richard was the number one partner in 2011 and 2012, He was sacked in 2013 and his kids were sent out of school, he goes to the church and the pastor says to him, "keep praying" with a pat on his back instead of money in his pocket. If he (Pastor) knew how to pray to get money, why then does he request for special offerings for church projects every Sunday instead of going on his knees to ask from God? A pastor with one thousand ties preaches to his head usher about the love of Christ who doesn't have more than one piece of tie for a whole year. Where is the love of Christ? It is lost. my name is aproko, I run a popular news and gossip blog called www.aproko.me Feel free to check it out. Article Source: http://www.faithwriters.com |
