Believers Introduce themselves in the bible:
Paul, a servant (slave) of Jesus Christ (Rom 1:1)
James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ (Jam1:1)
Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ (2Pet 1:1)
Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ (Jud 1:1)
Notice how these brethren Introduced themselves, with the simplicity that is in Christ; no titles, no official designations, no church addresses. Yet they succeeded in spreading the gospel all over the world and ultimately died for the same gospel haven experienced the true power of resurection.
Now in Nigeria, Men of God introduce themselves thus:
Bishop Dr.............(General Overseer of...)
Apostle Prophet....(Senior Pastor.........)
General, Commandant...............(GOC......)
Wiseman, Visioneer, Archbishop Etc
This is how our MEN of God are introduced. Try and miss their titles during introduction, and u are sorry?
Amazingly they have not even succeeded in spreading the gospel effectively over a state, let alone the entire nation Nigeria. Not willing to die for the gospel like me, they centre all their crusades in already christian south running from the blaze of terror in a fertile muslim north. They do not suffer any loss for the gospel, instead they profit hugely from it making NAMES for themselves.
And my prayer is this: Dear Lord, teach me to understand the simplicity that is in Christ. I really want to learn from the examples of the apostles of old
