Lord Have Mercy on Africans

Perhaps still in the Euphoria of a 'cross over' night celebration in church on the last day of the year, African Christians across the world will run off to their African church on Sunday morning to celebrate 'First Sunday' of the year. They will display every possible pomp and pageantry and everyone will aim to get to church earliest to get a vantage point seat at the front where 'pastor / papa/ mama' will see them in their opulence. The competition to give abundant financial 'thanksgiving seed' will be intense, as they are led to believe this will open doors to new financial heights, miraculous breakthroughs, societal promotion, and all kinds of carnal desires, supposedly promised by God.

The following day life will go an as normal, the people waiting in futile expectation of these promises through the year while pastor has increased in wealth and begins his lavish spending on more luxurious living.

Is this the work of, or does this evidence the Church of Christ?

There is only ONE way to be a Christian!
