The Reformation Agenda and the Mixed Multitude Effect- Part 2

In my first piece, I made three solid reasons why I think some people should not be considered as reformers.

When Moses was taking Israel to the promised land, one of the bitter challenges Moses had to toil with was the mixed multitudes.

If true Christians don’t arise and take their rightful place, apart from the mixed multitude, the Sanballat and Tobiah characters of the systems of today will derail our efforts. Please read my final reasons.

In Addition to the earlier points, you are not a reformer if you are not part of the family of Christ.

You can call yourself anything you want but you are not a Church or Christian Reformer if are not a Christian.

Some of these folks who are very loud about the Church know next to nothing when it comes to the tenets of our Faith. They may have a form of Godliness but have denied themselves of the power that resides in it.

To these people, I say: you can only truly reform what you have a stake in. ARE YOU BORN AGAIN? This is an age-old question that needs to be answered by every mortal on earth.

Do you think you can rant about the church and pull it into the mud because you have a voice and good grammar to go with it? What are you helping to reform when you don’t know a thing about the CHURCH?

Even attending Church is not a true indicator that you belong to the family, just as sleeping in the garage does not make you a vehicle. Repentance and Faith In Jesus Christ are the technology of God regarding Salvation.

Furthermore, you are not a reformer if you don’t learn from the mistakes of the people you criticize.

Jumping on people’s weaknesses is easy to do. Being a specialist in tracing and analyzing people’s downfalls is common. Do we also learn from the mistakes we see in people?

You see, today you are the one criticizing but take note that people will tear you apart if you commit the same mistakes, you criticize people for. History is full of this scenario. BE WARMED

In conclusion, I know so well that we need Reformers in our time. There is a desperate need for the REFORMATION OF THE CHURCH. If the church gets it right, society will get it right. That’s how it has been since time immemorial.

My counsel for all is that we should thread cautiously. Be careful and be sure before you criticize. Rather attack ISSUES than focus on Personalities. Issues, systems, and institutions are in greater need of reformation than people’s weaknesses

All I am trying to say in summary is that as much as I believe that we need a reformation in the Church of Jesus, we need to be cautious about how we approach it.

The right heart is needed to confront evil and God can raise mighty men for this. At the same time, let us not fall for people seeking cheap popularity all in the name of reformation. May God help us all

For the love of God society and young people

Blessings!
