The sermon for today is the gospel is not for sale, If it were so, many rich men would have gone for it and secured it for their children children, and it won’t be available for the poor
Acts 8:18,19 ( And when Simon saw that through laying on of apostle hands, the holy Spirit was given, he offered them money, saying, give me also this power, that on whoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.)
It’s has become a trend that the people of the world obtained things for themselves through financial means and social influence.
Most greedy men secure futures for their children and their unborn generation through dubious means.
I have heard that a woman claimed to always buy children any time she wants to have a child, and when I asked how, she said she must consult higher power before she can get pregnant.
Most men buy the world for themselves, but it’s unfortunate for them that they can’t buy heaven or eternity with their money.
This kind of trend is transferred into the church of God in this generation to always get things done with the amount of money you could offer; even salvation is not left out of the wares that men are selling in the church of God; even the ignorant were tempted by these lies of Satan.
Salvation is not for sale, neither the spirit of God nor the gifts; even the fruits of the spirit are not on display on the shelf of the world, If it were so, many rich men would have gone for it and secured it for their children, and it won’t be available for the poor…
God hid what belong to the peace of mankind in Himself, it’s only by seeking him genuinely that we can obtain it, everything on display on the shelf of the world is pure counterfeit.
Simon, the sorcerer, covet the gift of Holy Spirit; he couldn’t surrender himself totally to God to have it but want to use short cut by securing it with money through the apostles.
Apostle Peter rebuked him, but how is everything on sale in this generation, including the salvation of our souls?
We made altar calls for people to sow seed to receive anything from God, even the fruits of the womb, and financial progress is obtained by sowing seed to the church.
We turned the house of God into a place of merchandise; we create a short cut for sinners who want to remain in sin to obtain from God.
Gifts of God are free of charge; He doesn’t collect bribes or sacrifices before he gives; He only gives for His glory and purpose.
We leaders of this generation don’t know the way to God; that’s why we created a short cut to His presence; we created a short cut for people to come out of Adam’s curse and made an easy way to escape from divine anger without repentance.
What can only be gotten through the blood of Jesus Christ is on display on the altar of Molech. Just know that this is the counterfeit of all that God wants to offer, and we need to get into His presence before we can obtain it.
There is nothing like a permanent solution with the devil; he operates trade by barter; the only thing he wants from this kind of transaction is your soul.
He offered it to Christ on the condition that if he can receive His obeisance, he wants to offer it without shedding blood, but Christ knows that it’s by the shedding of His blood that He will redeem the world.
The Church of Christ has turned into a business center; your giving determined the measurement of your miracles, leaving the poor behind to wallow in their misery.
Most newly converted are turning back because they couldn’t afford what the church is offering. This is not the way of Christ when he was with us; no wonder there are no rich or influential men among His disciples.
He brought them from scratch and raised them up to occupy the twelve throne of the seed of Jacob, judging the people of Israel.
It’s because of our greed for short cuts that Satan is taking advantage of us; we’re not ready to offer what heaven demands.
God wants our all on his altar; it’s because we couldn’t give ourselves; that’s why we use money in exchange.
A life that can’t be given to God—even his gifts will be rejected—that’s why it falls into the hands of the greedy fellow in the kingdom.
We anointed people for progress based on what they give, but the ignorant will stand to receive that kind of anointing that is not sealed by God.
This is what gave Satan the upper hand to send his men to our pulpit to intrude into the affairs of the church; the slaves are riding on the horse and the princes are walking barefooted following them.
Everything that needs to do with the salvation of man is purely spiritual, done by the spirit of God; He convinced, convicted, transformed, and delivered; nothing can be achieved out of His will.
Spiritual things obtained with money are not from God; they will only separate us from God. Any minister that offers prayers with money is not called by God; he is either called by his stomach or by the devil.
Prayer: Father Lord, I surrender my self to you, glorify yourself in my life, in Jesus name amen
