Church Mess
Written by: Angela Abyla Lloyd
I know your love of God is real and how you praise Him is personal. But to be honest a lot of us stay away from ministry and keep our spiritual gifts a mystery. Why, because of church mess.
We all know love is patient and love is kind. But when it comes to some church business, love can be blind.
It can be enticing to hear about -gossip that may not be true, but it's not so enticing when the gossip is about you.
For example,there is Deacon A who is married to Nurse B who is cheating with Trustee C who is accused of stealing money from the collection plate and praise and worship leader D is upset and ready to snap but he can't because of his status working for a mega church and fears his reputation may get hurt. He is upset that Tenor E is sleeping with Soprano F and Alto G who was caught in the choir room making out with Elder H. And, Pastor Ike is too stress to deal with all this mess.
Now, I’m not saying this is your church.
See how all this drama can you put you under duress!
Some claim they avoid church mess, but last night were on phone gossiping and is the source behind the distress. Judging about who is divorcing who when you know there is issues with you and your boo.
Some get caught in church fame and when mess arise find someone else to blame. This may be the reason why a lot of us choose to stay out of the church game.
When we take the risk and use our talent we run into church mess and have to hear from the member who tries to intimidate us by explaining that he or she is just doing his or her job because they're serving a megachurch do not want the church’s reputation to get hurt.
However, he or she seems to forget that some of us serve to worship only one God. No pun intended.
Let us remember church is a business but biblically it is also a body of people with emotions. Church is for those who are not perfect, but who is seeking correction. Church is for God's Kingdom and not for a short-cut to stardom.
For those who understands what I am saying will truly discern the mess and know how to put the drama to rest. This allows God to manifest through your gifts so others and not just yourself can feel abundantly blessed.
We hear from the woman who share that God called her to be a prophetess, girl are for real?
Using false prophecies to start mess claiming her gift is to heal, she is the one who needs to get the hell out of here. Fortunately, there are true gifted people know how to dodge the bullets, but unfortunately these gifted people are still working to survive church mess.
