Revival Assembly Pastor, Anslem Madubuko has reacted to the ongoing religion attacks on Christians and evangelists by Islamic fundamentalists.
In a chat with City People, he said:
Its all signs of the end time. Persecution and trails have been
predicted in the bible and its coming to pass now, sadly its happening
globally no place is safe any more we here on terrorist bombing about 80
tourist in France recently. Its so sad and inhuman although as believe
death is not to be feared death is not the end but the beginnings of
eternal life in glory. Remember what saint Paul said in the bible, to
live is for Christ and to die is gain’ so death is not a sorrowful
incident to a believer but a call to glory. However, Christians should
be led by the spirit before going out for morning cry or evangelism. It
should not be a religious thing you should all the time without asking
for direction from the holy spirit. Their were times in the bible that
apostle Paul wanted to go somewhere but the holy spirited directed him
elsewhere due to the danger that, it saw. So the same should apply to
evangelists. Christian should wait on God to know his leading before
going out. Christians should be flexible and open minded, not just doing
the work of God in a religious manner.
He further advised upcoming men of God with this:
They should be humble and focus on their work for God. They should know
exactly God is calling them into, and don’t try to copy others but be
their self. They should wait for God divine timing and not compromise by
patronizing the devil for money, fame and power. Also find good mentors
and learn from them .don’t be proud, boastful, envious, full of
slander, gossip and vain competition. These days nobody wants to wait on
God, infact some are not even waiting to be called. They call
themselves and given claim they were called. People also need to be
careful of these false men of God. They will exploit their flock for
personnel gain and vain glory. There are so many ministries out there
infact in every street, you will see even more than two churches. Some
of them just sprang up overnight, no calling, no monitoring, no
stewardship, just nothing and they bear big titles- Bishop, Prophet,
Reverend and much more. If you are called by God know exactly what God
wants you to do for his kingdom and focus on that, He will certainly
lift you in due season if you remain faithful.
