The "Sow A Seed" Trend In Churches. by Hautside(m): 7:08am On Aug 14, 2018
I am happy with how fast the "sow a seed" thing is trending on the social media. I grew up in one of the orthodox churches and for years I have been questioning this act. Yes, the bible says we should sow seeds. Infact, it says, if you sow big, you reap big and if you sow small, you reap small(2 cor 9 vs 6)...I believe in sowing seeds. Infact, the only thing I cant give is my wife. lol..

However, Something is wrong with the way its being done in our churches. It is wrong to call out amounts.Like.."I need 10 people to give us 1million each". Thats not sowing a seed! 2 Cor 9 vs 7 says you should not be compelled. give as you have decided and not with regrets! What I see in our churches is "Fund raising". In fact, Pastors invite guest pastors so as to raise funds! This is unacceptable.

Most people are hypocrities! Sow a seed so the bible says and not neccessirily sow a seed in the cchurch! It is a shame that most believers doesnt even know if their neighbours have eaten or paid their rents but they go out to give bountifully in the church. What happens to "Love your neighbour as yourself"??
I aint saying it is wrong to give to the church but your neighbour and family should come first.Yes, I said that!! The church should be more after the spiritual growth of her members and not be materialistic. The church should just name what she needs, announce to the congregation and people should give accordingly!

Your pastor flies in the air, your neighbours or family members need a car badly, but you went ahead to give your pastor one of your cars(Or even the only car) because of "eye service or you need connection". Brethen, you are a fool!! Proverbs 22 vs 16(GNT version) says..."If you make gifts to RICH people OR Oppress the poor to get rich, you will become poor yourself"

Sow seeds.Give to people randomly. Give to the church whatever you desire, visit the nearest hospital, you can save a soul. Pay you neighbour's Nepa bills .Ask your family how they are fairing. Dont sell your car for the church when your parent or siblings cant afford to feed!! God help us all.

You are blessed.

Most of those Pastors are pastoring for the devil over his (devil ) people to debase the name of Jesus Christ.

This congregations of the children of iniquity hate churches where they will be condemned for their sinful deeds and therefore go to churches where the devil is their lord and saviour.
They are receiving their rewards . They live in sin and want to reap blessings from God. God cannot be fooled.

THE MEMBERS ARE THOSE WHO :

Hate reading their Bibles,
Hate to hear sound doctrines,
Hate reproof
Love to dupe people,
Commit adultery and fornications in the name of grace,
Kidnappers , armed robbers, extortioners , embezzlers etc.

That is why they would rather prefer churches that can cope with their system of life.
