Fleece My Sheep?: The Unprecedented Tragedy of the Church in Bed with a Sinful World

by Sarah Ajala-Immanuel

Overview

Miracles, signs, wonders, healings, financial breakthroughs, ecstatic spiritual experiences are most of the teachings propagated from very many pulpits today. Are these truly the rewards of Christianity to which members are expressly entitled?

Charismatic preachers are competing for space on the world stage of celebrities as they accumulate wealth and riches with a continual lust for more...but their wealth, supposedly a reward from God, is limited to the leaders! The congregation continue to invest their hard-earned cash and wait endlessly for their promised multiple-fold and miraculous returns. If this is Gods promise as is taught, then why do the promises from ministers who preach those messages never actually materialise?

Did Jesus Christ receive all the insults and abuse from His enemies, have Himself nailed to the cross, wear a crown of thorns, and have His body mutilated, just to make His followers financially secure and ensure they never again experience physical illnesses? If that were so then we can rightly conclude that Jesus mission failed because Christians still suffer poverty and sickness. Did the Apostles fail to realise the financial rewards of Christianity as they lived self-abasing and sacrificial lives? Are Christians entitled to and promised personal miracles by God?

Since the healings and financial rewards of hard work that is claimed by many Christians today to be miracles delivered by their powerful ministers are also common to unbelievers, then can we rightly assume that unbelievers are saved because they have received the rewards of Christianity?

These are questions we must urgently address for us to ascertain whether the practice of Christianity in most churches in the world today, lead to the all-important saving faith in Jesus Christ. If the answers to the questions do not directly point to salvation in Jesus Christ and peace with God, then more souls than can be imagined are being lost and are in real danger of hell, the dreaded and abandoned word in modern-day Christianity, but a place about which the Lord warned us severally during His earthly ministry.

About the Author

I am Sarah Ajala-Immanuel, an evangelist, serving as ministering pastor of Living Word Church in Kent, UK. I was raised a Moslem and was called to follow the Lord at the age of 14 years in 1981. My family life meant that I did not respond to that divine call, not understanding what it meant. A couple of years later I developed an interest in Christian music and joined a church group which turned out to be a cult. I was in that movement for 14 years, and then the Lord took me out of it and into the true Gospel ministry in June 1996.

I do not claim to have had a phenomenal personal encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ, but He saved me and revealed Himself to me in the power of His Word, the Holy Bible. Since that period I have committed my entire life to the purpose of the Lord, and live to propagate the true life-saving Gospel of Jesus Christ, and to lead people in repentance and obedience to fulfilling their purpose in life, which is to bring glory to God. My preaching and teaching ministry upholds Jesus Christ alone as Lord and the only Way to salvation and eternal life.

I am a lone parent of a son and four daughters, who are being raised in the whole counsel of God. In the daunting task of parenthood and ministry, I have found the Lord Jesus Christ the only faithful source of all our needs, spiritually and physically. I joyfully live for my union with the Lord of life as I stand in the spiritual battle with Satan, the enemy of our souls, to see as many as the Lord would call to salvation hear the Truth of God that gives absolute freedom from the evils of the world.
