It is time that we get away from a system of situations a system of people a system of organized chaos. In some cases church has become a system of chaotic organization almost like a cult.  The church has become a institutional bed for belonging by any means necessary people can come without any relationship and accountablity to God. It's normal to want to feel accepted and apart of something but at what cost? The churchese such as doing church to say you go and the politics of it all is a lot of times negating real love for God and for each other. People spend half their time now uplifting the leadership and not God as they should be. Yes we are to give honor where honor is due but no one is above God. That in turn is a dangerous ground to play on as God is a jealous God and he will have no other God's before him and that elevated person can fall to their sins just like those of us that follow them. We tend to put folks on a high pedestal and at the first sign of mistake they make it's oh nope run for the hills he or she are not real they struggling but truth is we all are.. Pastors are people too.. Which is why God said he would give us Pastor's after our own hearts meaning folks that can relate to our situations, issues, and circumstances but are hearts are desperately wicked and decitful so what that means is that once we accept God once we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savour we are then under grace because we all need forgiveness for our sins no matter how spiritual you are or think you are.  Most times folks have relationships with their Pastor's and live off their juice, their prayers, their fasting, and consecration. Following all the church protocols and programs, can clap on clue, shout, dance, know all the songs but know two scriptures having the form of Godliness but denying the power thereof because they don't have a relationship with God themselves therefore have to depend on the pastors prayers to get them through. Have to depend on the sermons to get them through alone. Listen we need church, because God intended for his Word to be planted in our hearts and it's a mechanism, a tool to help folks with like minds of Christ come together to learn about God, his will and his way. However, we have to know the Word of God for ourselves. Whatever God sends your Pastor or spiritual leader to tell you should be conformation and edification unless God is having them prophecy to you about something new. You should be able to hear in the Spirit what God is trying to say to you. We all need help sometimes because even the arch Bishop whomever he or she is doesn't know it all and can't  prophecy to themselves. Our relationship needs to be so tight with God that we go to him ourselves for ourselves and if we don't understand something we go get council. There was a time in my walk where I was so depended on what my leadership said fear set in if I wanted to do anything without asking them. I should have been going to God for myself. If you have been under your leadership long enough you have picked up on how to do certain things like praying, studying your Bible, but after church service is over you have to learn how to live  how to take the Word of God beyond the church doors. Your praise and worshipbeyond the church doors and get God for yourself.  We need to destroy the systems that causes us to only look at church attendance because a wise man told me about growth and swell. If you have swell that means it's an attraction there and it's most likely temporary and therefore when the fire is out a little in a off season the folks dwindle away. The kingdom of God needs quality folk not quantity because even Jesus himself had the fishes and loaves folks. Most were spectators and hungry and allowed the Word of God to fall by the waste side but want credit because they can tell someone what church they went to for some type of clout. God don't need your clout he needs your relationship.  Read Psalm 127.1 🙏🏾
