10 Categories Of People That Run From Church To Another For Miracles

In recent time, circumstances surrounding people has made them into running helter skelter looking for what was not lost.

Go back to forty years ago, and you would see that many people now worship God for benefit, comfort and other selfish reasons.

Now, let's meet the kinds of people that run from one church to another


10 Categories Of People That Run From Church To Another For Miracles 

1. Ladies who are looking for the fruit of the Womb 

I think this should top the list. Just because some on them can not withstand the pressure being mounted on them by their husbands' relatives for their inability to bear child(ren), they move from one churches to another for miracle


2. Men who are desperate to get Rich 

I mean who doesn't want to have good financial standing? Despite the fact that I'm still that broke guy eating from hand to mouth; the thought of attending every church programme for financial breakthrough irks me a lot. The Bible has made us understand that we can be the pastor of ourselves, so why woul d I run from a white garment church to Apostolic, from Mfm to Catholic and so on, at the expense of financial breakthrough. Never !!!

3. Ladies who are desperately in need of Husbands 

I'm a living witness of this. I have seen ladies join a unit in the church, but I can tell you that the propelling motive behind this, is not because they really want to serve or know more of God, but to increase their chances of getting finding who will ask them for hand in marriage; and when their aim is achieved, they wave goodbye to the church. To those who can't join work force, they run from one church to another for marital breakthrough


4. Those who see every Challenge as Spiritual[/b]

Let's not deceive ourselves here, not every problem that happens to a man is spiritual. As a matter of fact, there are even less spiritual problems than physical, just that people seem to see every challenge, encounter and temptation as spiritual, when in fact, it's not. However, those who have no direction and lack priorities see every challenge as spiritual, therefore, they run from one church to another to breakthrough

5. Unserious Students 

Here at The Federal Polytechnic, Ado-Ekiti; I have met with quite a few number of students who at the mention of academic breakthrough/prevalence, will start running helter skelter. The funniest thing is that, you will never see these people at seminars, orientations and many more programmes that can be of impact or widen their horizon

6. Those who are low in Faith. 

Take it or leave it, people who run from one church to another are actually those who are low in faith. They barely attend a church for two months, off they zoom to another church when they notice that there's delay in answer to the prayers


7. Those with low self esteem 

As a student, sometimes a take garri as breakfast but when I see friends with good financial standings eating something better. I just silently speak to God to please enlarge my coast and change my standard of living. That is not a good reason to run from one church to another because I want to compete with my friends


8. Those who have misplaced priorities 

I have seen friends who have switched churches just because they heard that, there are so many rich men in a particular church. However, off they go just to come in contact with important personnel in the church

9. Who are desperate to get Jobs 

I don't have much to say about this. All I know is that some of these people are also part of what this discourse


10 Those who don't know how Christianity works 


Yeah so many people go to churches but only a few number of them know how it really works. However, some of them seem not to understand that Jesus is everywhere. You need not travel miles away before you meet him

One young man went to apply for a managerial position in a big company.

He passed the initial interview, and now would meet the director for the final interview.

The director discovered from his CV that the youth’s academic achievements were excellent.

He asked, Did you obtain any scholarships in school…?
the youth answered “NO”.

Who paid for your school fees…?
” Parents “, he replied.

“Where did they work……?”

“They worked as clothes cleaner.”

The director requested the youth to show his hands.
The youth showed a pair of hands that were smooth and perfect.

“Have you ever helped your parents wash the clothes ?”

“Never, my parents always wanted me to study and read more books.
Besides, my parents can wash clothes faster than me.

The director said, “I have a request.

When you go home today, go and clean your parents hands, and then see me tomorrow morning.

The youth felt dejected.
When he went back home, he asked his parents to let him clean their hands.
His parents felt strange, happy but with mixed feelings,
They showed their hands to their son.

The youth cleaned their hands slowly.
His tear fell as he did that.
It was the first time he noticed that his parents hands were so wrinkled, and there were so many bruises in their hands.

Some bruises were so painful that they winced when he touched it.

This was the first time the youth realized that it was this pair of hands that washed the clothes everyday to enable him to pay the school fees.

The bruises in the hands were the price that the parents had to pay for his education, his school activities and his future.

After cleaning his parents hands, the youth quietly washed all the remaining clothes for them.

That night, parents and son talked for a very long time.

Next morning, the youth went to the director’s office.

The Director noticed the tears in the youth’s eyes, when he asked:

“Can you tell me what have you done and learned yesterday in your house….?”

The youth answered,
I cleaned my parents hand, and also finished cleaning all the remaining clothes’

“I now know what appreciation is.
Without my parents, I would not be who I am today…

By helping my parents, only now do I realize how difficult and tough it is to get something done on your own And I have come to appreciate the importance and value of helping one’s family.

The director said,
“This is what I am looking for in a manager.
I want to recruit a person who can appreciate the help of others, a person who knows the sufferings of others to get things done, and a person who would not put money as his only goal in life.”

“You are hired.”

A child, who has been protected and habitually given whatever he wanted, would develop an “entitlement mentality” and would always put himself first.

He would be ignorant of his parent’s efforts.

If we are this kind of protective parents, are we really showing love or are we destroying our children instead…?

You can let your child live in a big house, eat a good meal, learn piano, watch on a big screen TV.

BUT,
when you are cutting grass, watering the plants, cleaning up the house or after a meal washing the plates and bowls, etc. then please let them experience it together with their brothers and sisters.

It is not because you do not have money to hire a maid, but it is because you want to love them in a right way.

You want them to understand, no matter how rich their parents are, one day their hair will grow grey, same as the parents of that young person.

The most important thing is your child learns how to appreciate the effort and experience the difficulty and learns the need to work with others to get things done…

Forward this story to as many as possible…it may change someone’s attitude.
