Are we Aware of our Destiny?

A real destiny is dictated by well established objectives that will ensure the goal of an established destiny will be reached.

The freedom of worship which is accorded to, in the constitution of many countries, seems to be taking a larger platform in these countries. It is not wrong to have a freedom to worship, but abusing it, may force it to be regulated. As a matter of fact, religion does not mean everyone must own a church building in the name of religious freedom. Many people currently have found the church organization a booming and yearning business and it is now difficult to establish which religious denomination is straight forward. I no wonder, there is no church where offerings is not charged nor if it is a must, then why don't they even disperse one day without it? It is simple that this (money) is everything for the purpose of running a church. A lot of people have lost the real meaning of the church as the spiritual desire of the people than the building itself. The church is the bodies of those individuals who have given themselves too wholly to serve their creator, but not the building as many have made it to be.

Much as we may accept religion as part of the way in meeting our spiritual need, we should be very careful of the hypocrites who have introduced their conmen ship into the industry of religion. Assuredly, religion will loose its meaning if money will spearhead its aims and objectives of converting many to be the disciples of Jesus. Though functionaries may accuse me of judging this sector, many of its actions that take place within the church building has left a lot to be judged before men.

If men can judge, then, what about the person of praise? Well, we may not answer this but we will simply leave it for that day perceived to be the day of God's judgment. But before this, governments should see on how to tackle on the running of the churches and if possible give a clear definition of how churches should be operated. Currently, the church organization is taking a tribal direction such that even a visitor cannot be absorbed into understanding what takes place within the church and an indication to this is where in an estate alone, there are several churches competing for limited number of people. This is an indication that the church organization has clearly forgotten its stipulated role of spiritual growth and condemnation of vices that are against humanity.

With the situation currently, where churches have turned up to be a boxing field instead of being a place of refuge, most people have found themselves foregoing their spiritual need to avert any chaos that might result from the very little they offer. Finally, what has really caused all this messes in churches is that most initiatives of these churches have been politicized.
