My fellow brethren in Christ Jesus, I hope I find you well wherever you are?
Somebody you need to understand something very crucial that we must take note of!
A true intercessor is not the one who leads intercession prayer so effortlessly and with eloquence of words during a church service;
A true preacher/teacher of the gospel is not one that has so much revelation in their preaching;
A true worshipper is not the one holding the Mic leading worship during a church service;
&
A true man/woman of God is not the one who gloat and boasts of their abilities/anointing or gift;
All these no matter how good they appear are just services and do not even come close to how one is qualified for the crown in Heaven!
Jesus said to the disciple do not rejoice that the demons/spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are registered in Heaven!
You must understand that though Christ Jesus was a public figure, He did His things in private; When it came to teaching, He spoke in parables and after performing miracles, healing or deliverance, He would charge/ask people to be quiet about it. When it came to prayer He would go to a solitary place to PRAY.
The Bible even teaches us that God is found in a secret place. Imagine the Almighty God who is spoken in public wants you and me to meet/pray/worship Him privately!
Today many churches have lost it by thinking publicizing miracles and deliverances proves the existence of God, when truthfully speaking where God resides you don’t need to be told-you will see it!
Some of us struggle in business and in our plans because of broadcast-syndrome! Elijah as far as business and divine multiplication is concerned told the widow to shut the door behind her and then start pouring the oil in the jar!
Don’t get me wrong, advertising church is not wrong but it is what you advertise that matters!
KFC no matter how good their chicken is they only advertise the end product not the ingredients or how its made!
Any restaurant no matter how good it is, never reveals how a meal is made you only see the meal in the menu and plate and you enjoy!
When you begin to share the nitty-gritty of how long you fast and pray and how you hear God you one step away from hell and not in service to God.
Churches must not try to lure people by prophesy or that the man/woman of God can heal and perform miracles but by announcing Jesus Christ!
Once it’s about you or the man/woman of God then its not of God!
We cannot try to outsmart God even though we succeed in fooling some people!
An example of how Christ Jesus ministered is found in Matthew 8

2. And behold, a leper came up to Him and, prostrating himself, worshiped Him, saying, Lord, if You are willing, You are able to cleanse me by curing me.
3. And He reached out His hand and touched him, saying, I am willing; be cleansed by being cured. And instantly his leprosy was cured and cleansed.
4. And Jesus said to him, See that you tell nothing about this to anyone; but go, show yourself to the priest and present the offering that Moses commanded, for a testimony [to your healing] and as an evidence to the people. [Lev. 14:2.]
   If it’s in our churches today this miracle will be all over social media!
   The danger of pride or self-glory is that the one who has it does not know or accept they do!
   Hear me well, the Father honours the man/woman of God that does his/her things in secret.
   Let us not fall in the trap of the world by thinking that showcasing how you pray in the mountain or study the word or how knowledgeable or gifted you are makes you of some value in the sight of God!
   Once its about your glory then clearly its not for God!
   Charity publicized by any church and/or any man/woman of God, has zero reward in Heaven!
   Anything you do to be seen of men has no value before God or Heaven and already has its useless reward on earth!
   Here is a clear lesson from our Lord and Saviour:
   Matthew 6
5. TAKE CARE not to do your good deeds publicly or before men, in order to be seen by them; otherwise you will have no reward [reserved for and awaiting you] with and from your Father Who is in heaven.
6. Thus, whenever you give to the poor, do not blow a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites in the synagogues and in the streets like to do, that they may be recognized and honored and praised by men. Truly I tell you, they have their reward in full already.
7. But when you give to charity, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,
8. So that your deeds of charity may be in secret; and your Father Who sees in secret will reward you openly.
9. Also when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by people. Truly I tell you, they have their reward in full already.
10. But when you pray, go into your [most] private room, and, closing the door, pray to your Father, Who is in secret; and your Father, Who sees in secret, will reward you in the open.
11. And when you pray, do not heap up phrases (multiply words, repeating the same ones over and over) as the Gentiles do, for they think they will be heard for their much speaking. [I Kings 18:25-29.]
12. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.

A good voice doesnt make a poweful worshipper neither does a commanding voice make a great preacher!
I am deeply moved and taken back by the hypocrisy we are all doing before God- this is utter gabbage!
Saints let us repent and churches let us reform our ways!
Really where do we draw the line!!!
If you going live on the internet as a church on Sunday-stick to the word and anyone who wanrs to see the rest of the stuff you do must come to your church!
The gospel is about Christ Jesus not any man/woman of God nor prophesy or deliverance- I say this because some churches advertise this and people end up going to church for all the wrong reasons!
You don’t go to church to be prophesied to or to get deliverance or healing alone, all this is good but the ultimate goal is to go to church in order to worship God is spirit and in truth, to hear God’s WORD being taught to you and to have fellowship with other believers period!
Some know the man/woman of God more than they know God;
Others sing and dance so well in the praise and worship team but cannot accurately quote a single verse in the Bible late alone pray two meaningful lines.
Yet some know prophecy more and how to say,” I recieve!”, yet their hearts are far from the Father and have no fellowship with Christ or the Holy Spirit at all!
Let us repent and churches let us reform our ways!

In secret!
