Dear Editor,
I have had many questions on the reality of Christianity as I see it today, especially its desire to be like this world. It seeks to operate like this world, to acquire things like this world, to gain and use the wisdom of this world to operate, to make plans just like this world. It seeks after the riches of this world and, above all, it is in a lukewarm state.
I am a Christian, and it has disturbed me no ends to see what I am a part of, and I have sought the Lord for answers to the farce, the deceptions, the half-baked approach to life in God that I see around me. I have struggled with this for the last 20 years.
But alas, my struggle has not been in vain. I have learnt, albeit, through much disappointment, hurt, loneliness and rejection, that God forces no one to go His way. I have learnt that each person has free will. I have learnt that even when Christendom on a whole is doing whatsoever seems right in its own eyes, there is a God who is going to His end, and His constant call has been and still is: whosoever will, may come. Yes, whosoever believeth in Christ, will not perish but have everlasting life.
I have learnt that there is need for each of us to make a choice for God and for truth -- found only in the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. God is now calling whosoever will hear to enter into His Elijah call. He promised that He would send the spirit of Elijah to the church before the great and notable day of the Lord (Malachi 4:5). This Elijah anointing is the inward transformation for the establishment of the government of the spirit of Christ and the outward anointed nature of the supernatural of healing, prophesy, deliverance, etc.
Now I have learnt that, in spite of the lukewarmness and the worldliness within the church, nothing can stop God or His ultimate plan. So, though darkness covers the earth and gross darkness the people, the Lord will arise and His glory will be seen on whosoever will choose Him and His truth.
