The Reason Why You Need To Change Your Church
As a lovely parent who cares and wishes the best for her child, you always desire to offer your child the best quality education. And sometimes whenever you discovered that your child is performing woefully in the school you will feel unhappy.
You will be disappointed because the whole invested money in school fees, note books and school writing material and the effort the school teachers seem not enough. You will be frustrated because the expected changes you dream and wishes to attest in the academic life of your child seem not to comes-fort.
After several futile efforts and trials you will be persuaded to withdrew and enroll your child to another best higher standard school. And in such moment, you will begins to inquired from your neighbor and friends about the best quality school in town where you can enrolls your child in order to improves and makes such child useful in the future and in the society.
After weeks and months of an intensive research and inquiries you eventual behold yourself withdrawing your child from the low standard school, while negating pleading of the school principal/head-master and class teacher to retained such child with promise of an improvement.
Yet, you will act adamant unto their fruitless plead and quickly withdrew your child for an urgent enrollment into another recommended higher standard school who has a befit qualified teachers and good facilities at the expenses of an elaborate school fees.
Howbeit, at this moment you have spent several years in one particular church without vital spiritual growth. Your spiritual level has remains stationary, same spot and same level every week, month, years and decades. You can nurture the academic life of your child but unfortunately, due to ignorant, arrogance and pride, you refuse to nurture your spiritual life which is the bedrock of your eternity.
Well, I think the reason why you still stocked in same fruitless church with dead men's bones all this while and refusal to make sudden attempt to seek for another befitting place to serve God in wholeheartedly is probably because you don’t know the worth of your soul in eternity. While in eternity, you worth more than billions of dollars because you are priceless.
You are preciously adored and honored by God. You are created in an image of immortality and was costly purchased by an everlasting covenant blood of Jesus Christ. And the devil is willing to waste millions of his demons in order to acquire a treasurable element like you. The only primary mission of the devil is how to caged and keep imprisoning you in that “dead men's bones church” where no iota of spiritual changes has transpired in your spiritual life.

It always saddens me that a reasonable individual would vow to die in an unfruitful church, a church where you are not impacted spiritually. I mean, what is wrong with today Christians? Personally, i have change several churches, decamped from several ministries until i eventual pitch my tent to where am presently been nourished spiritually.
However, at this moment if that spiritual change isn't fort-coming as i presumed, am always ready to pull-out and seek for another biffing place to serve the Lord because i cherished my spiritual life and eternity more than anything in this world. I don't give a dime about gossip, slandering or family obstruction because life is personal.
I’m the CEO of my life and none can dictate how I ought to live or runs my life because after death none can ever defend my earthly deeds. After death, my lovely family and friends whom I care and deeply loved will thrown off my rotten body-bag from the house and left me abandoned outside in the silent graveyard.
They are never going to buried me inside one of the furnished room or apartment but would rather prefer to desert my body in the silent graveyard, where the dew, rain and sunshine will melt my rotten body. Hence due to this fact, why thou heck should I hearken to the instruction of my so-called unfruitful pastor who is presently pasturing in “dead men's bones church?

Why should I continue fellowshipping in this “dead men's bones church” which has not been helpful in my quest to overcome masturbation, pornography and fornication, ? Why thou heck should I continue with this “dead men's bones family church” which has not made an impact in my quest to overcome lies, malice, anger, envy and jealous?
WHAT IS CHURCH
My friend, these are the question you should asked yourself everyday because the spiritual quality of your church shall determined the level of your readiness for Heavenly glory or rapture.
The church is assembling or collective of Christian. It is the body of Christ while Christ is the head of the church. Across the ocean, stream and valley; across the nations, continent, worlds, state, communities, villages and streets we are in one body of Christ. We are never separated; we are unified in one heavenly language and one doctrine of Holiness, truth and righteousness.
We are not haters and back-biters; we are called love because our Heavenly father is Love. We are the first born of Christ because we are possessor of the kingdom of God. We are never afraid of death because our master Jesus has already conquer death and given us assurance of Resurrection.
We are not of the world, although we are in the world but never of the world. We are fearful believers in Christ and not religious worldly system followers. We are called brethren because we are of one stock in body of Christ. We work together as brethren in order to keep the body of Christ healthy by caring for one another.

1 Peter 2:9-10 "But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy"
Our master and only precious savior; Jesus Christ, didn't come to the world for the saints and righteous believers but rather he came for us. He came to show us the true light and path of righteousness. We are horrible sinners and wicked brethren in the past. Our lives were filled with horrible, wickedness and sinfulness due to the fallen of our first parent in the Garden of Eden.
Thereafter, God pronounce his judgment upon us, which is Death because we are an offspring of that fallen; and we are not worthy to call his name because we have come short of his Glory. However, the only Begotten Son of God came to restored us back to his father by calling us "The Church". Which he sounded many thousands years ago that he is coming to rapture a ready and prepared church for heavenly glory and banquet of the last super.
John 14:1-4 "Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know”
Revelation 19:7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. Ephesians 5:27 "That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish”
THE REASON WHY YOU NEED TO CHANGE YOUR CHURCH
You and I are the church but we mandated to gather together to learn and study the word of God that will transform, revived and prepare us for rapture/Heaven. Hebrews 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
The church is where we are nurture, broken, sanctified and perfected for Heavenly glory. So, my beloved one in Christ, you don’t need to tie yourself in one spot when that transformation or change is not coming forth; just in the name of going to church. You must seek for another divine place to hear the word of God in order to be perfected because no name of any church is ever recorded or documented in Heaven.
You must never be a church goers but rather be a church changer.Am seeking for the old time religion where sinners will be afraid at Zion. Today, sinner can maneuver the church and get baptized, go to theological school and become a full member of the church. A sinner can camouflage and become an appointed leader or elected as a committee member and become an ambassador for Satan in that committee.
Where is old time religion where sinner comes to altar call without bidding? When someone will step into the church and the glory will grip him/her. There are no more tears in the church; sober messages are no more pricking in some quarters. It is written; Act 2:37 "Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?"
When messages no longer prick the heart of people, then the church becomes another cemetery. Oh my God; let your glory come and swipe across the church. Let your glory come back to the church and disgrace those occupying church positions but are not broken; sinning but still handling Holy things.
My friend, right now I don’t know what you are currently and zealously seeking in the church. I don’t care to know the church-name you laid your tent upon or whatever name of church you are parading-with but I have this to say;.....
If you have been in a church for years and your pastor or shepherd is not hurting you with his messages, if he is not scorning you with holy fire doctrine, if he is not emphasizing much about Heaven and Hell, outward modesty and inward purity. If he is not emphasizing much about God’s judgment, if he isn’t emphasizing much about salvation of your soul,
If he isn’t always rebuking sins and it not continual echoing in your ear every church service, and yet you refuse to change and ran-off from such church, Honestly, you are the most ignoramus and unfortunate Christian on earth. If your pastor messages are not pricking your heart; then be assure that your church-name has becomes another cemetery (dead men's bones church).
Lastly, probably you are among those who still parade in names of churches, carrying church names in your head for years but without iota of positive changes in your character; you are also among the unfortunate Christians. In this kingdom service you need change in character because good character is sustainable.
Don’t forget, you are not a better person and that’s reason why you goes to church for God to work on you, by practicalizing the word of God in order to become a change person in character. Therefore, if your church can’t change you, please change your church and be a better person, because eternity-race is a very serious business.
This is a personal business which determined your eternal soul in next billions and trillions of years in eternity. This business is greater than earthly school because after death you can't die again and life continues....!
