A Bizarre experience in church

By Jorel Bliss

….So I was at a church in Benin city (name withheld) and during a dance competition, (apparently organized to commemorate the independence) the DJ thought it wise to play the intro of olamide’s song “shakitibobo”. what happened next was mind boggling!!,
The entire church went wild with ecstacy and excitement! Young people waving their hands and moving their bodies with reckless abandon! – Mind you, these were the same people who were reluctant to stand up from their seats during the worship session just a few minutes ago! It was minutes before I recovered from the shock of what I just experienced! Unanswered Questions and thoughts ran through my mind faster than Usain both could beat his own time record.
This shocking experience left me wondering; “are we really who we say we are? ; Where are we headed? If such behavior could be exhibited right in the house of God, I can only but imagine what some people do outside the church!

Many churches have lost the element of spirituality and the Holy Spirit is obviously absent! Church has become just another social gathering!! For how long shall we wallow in worldliness and double mindedness?
We are the salt of the earth but if the salt loses its flavor of what use is it? But to be thrown out and be trampled under the foot of men.
(see Matthew 5:13).
The World is waiting on us to cause a change and make an impact, therefore we can’t afford to walk in the flesh! We have to renew our minds and put aside our religiosity and dualistic approach to Christianity.
“We can’t change the world by going to church, we can only change the world BY BEING THE CHURCH #PlaytimeIsOver.
