AFRICA IS CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING ANOTHER FORM OF SLAVERY THROUGH PENTECOSTALISM

We are now mentally lazy and our ability to reason scientifically has been incapacitated. The write up below gives a vivid reality of the way we think.
The African pastor won’t talk about Usain Bolt or Serena Williams. The Pastor won’t talk about Steve Jobs or the young people in Silicon Valley reshaping our world. They won’t talk about Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie or Ben Okri. In every corner of the world, there exist young men and women who have defied all odds and became successful through hard work, creativity and dedication... The African pastor won’t talk about them neither will he ask his members to emulate the spirit of these individuals. He would rather talk about sister Agatha who got a job she WAS NOT MOST QUALIFIED FOR because she prayed and fasted in line with their church programme or brother John a millionaire because he used all his salary as a seed in the church, or Papa Miracle who he laid his hands on and 3 of his children got admission in the university, or Mama Esther paid her tithe and her business started growing everywhere across the nation with no business plan, just boooooooooooooom everywhere.
This has led to a new breed of mentally lazy young people who now see God as a rewarder of mediocrity. To the African Pastor, the only way to prosper is by paying your tithe and sowing seeds in the church. So they will never talk about those, who through hard work and dedication placed themselves on the world map.
No………………………the African god only blesses the first 30 people that rush to the altar to drop #1,000,000 as seed. The African god abhors hard work and creative thinking, he only gives those who sow seeds and offerings……………and those who shout ‘I AM A MILLIONAIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!’ every morning and do nothing the rest of the day.
You want the Almighty to come down and help you use the talent He gave you and bless you because you are going to church to shout ‘DADDY I RECEIVE IT’!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!’ you are all jokers. Can someone tell these jokers that irrespective of your creed, faith or religion, blessings and favours follow you once you start using your talent and become useful to your society. The Bible tells the story of the Talents, USE IT.
Blessings is already bestowed upon us. When we use it positively, we ask the Lord to bless it. The Bible says, ‘MY Grace is sufficient for thee: for MY strength is made perfect in weakness’. (2nd Corinthians 12:9a). The Western world and Asians are excelling and dominating the world. Let no pastor manipulate our minds while they jollificate in wealth and splendor while our people are mostly in abject poverty. BE WISE. Worship of God is from the heart. Study. Work. And PRAY!!!!!!!!!!!
