From
the beginning of creation, religion has been the major problem, the cause of
war and crisis, the confusion and misconception. It is the root cause of
terrorism.
Religion
is institutionalized with human made doctrine and agenda of its own. Religion
exploits and blackmail, it preaches in-equality. It promotes Doctrines that are
institutionalized. Religion is a cultural system of behaviors
and practices, the belief in and worship of a super human controlling power,
especially a personal God or gods. Religion is totally different from
spirituality.
Spirituality
is having personal contact with God. Spirituality makes you have a personal relationship
with the divine. It renews your spirit on daily basis and empowers you. Spirituality
is a personal conviction. It is a broad concept with room for many
perspectives. In general, it includes a sense of connection to something bigger
than us, and it typically involves a search for meaning in life. As such, it is
a universal human experience that touches us all. Spirituality guides you in
taking charge of your health, well being and Rights. The holy books have a lot of
human rights principle embedded in it.
Most
religious institutes practice hypocrisy, they judge you and tell you what is
right and not, yet they do the worse behind closed does. They preach
and still have sexual intercourse with their followers. They play with our
minds, manipulate us in the name of religion, they kill innocent souls in the
name of religion. They milk their followers in the name of sowing seed. they use the so called seed to build
their own empire, mansion and career. They govern religious institute as though
it was an investment/business institute, making their relatives and children
handle leadership roles. They ask followers to give seed and donation to establish
schools the followers cannot afford, they buy private jets and move from air condition
to air conditioner. They honor invitation of corrupt leaders, pray for them and
collect illegal seed. Yet some people scrub their knee in worship and
adoration.
Denomination
is the order of the day as religious institute are now business ventures. Again
ignorant followers idolize and immortalize these men of God.
Incidentally
I came across a handbill while I was compiling this article, and behind it was testimonies;
sadly these are some of the content. See below;

Please
let’s use our inner mind to analyze the above content on testimonies. Is it Arch
Bishop they give glory to or God almighty? You cannot share in the glory of
God.
Until
some people realize that it’s by faith and grace that they are healed and
prosperous, they will remain being slaves and worshipers of prophets and so
called men of God instead of being followers and worshipers of the one who created them.
Don’t
allow any religion make you feel vulnerable or not qualified because that is what
they do in religious institute. They want to make you feel you are less
qualified for God’s blessings; they want to make you feel inferior because of
their own superiority complex.
If
you are Spirit filled, you will drop a lot of things (bad/wrong habits) by
yourself. Don’t allow anyone to tell you to be born again or worship with their
religious institute before you can make it in life. Don’t allow anyone brain
wash you of deliverance when you can have a personal relationship with your
creator. Become a spiritual being and not religious born again. Real spirituality helps you govern your body. Misunderstanding of the holy book
is because we don’t study the words, we only listen to what religion says.
Establish
a personal relationship with God and not with a religious institute. How we
relate with God and humanity is what matters. Don’t allow religious institutes dictate
to you what and how to live your life. They can only advice, teach and guide.
Not dictate or control.
No doubt, there are genuine men of God, but very few.
No doubt, there are genuine men of God, but very few.
Be Spirit filled, We are here as human, but our spirit lives forever and you can
only make your spirit stronger by knowledge and taking care of your body
because your body is the temple of God. Spirituality makes one live a good life
as models and activist.
Principles
of godliness start with equality!
Spirituality
is about loyalty and justice!
