Why Church Politics Is On The Raise,Threatening and Replacing Truth ?
Why Replace Christ By Politics |
Church Politics is becoming more dominant than the Gospel of Christ. As a result of this we see nothing but humanism rather than real transformation. Man can only be transformed by truly depending on Christ and His Word.
Is it still the Church of God or it is the Church of someone. Most churches are moving away from the truth that the Apostle Paul shared when he alluded that Christ is the Cornerstone of the Church, He is the foundation of this movement and the sustainer of the Body. The church can not be the Church without the Christ being the center and source of it.Apostles and Prophets are indeed foundational gifts but are not in themselves a source and the sole center of the New Creation the or the Believer. Why then do we have foundational Gifts placing themselves to the the sole source and center of the new creation or believers' being?
Are there a Power to contend with now? Are these gifts to replace the place of Christ? Just as Peter was the successor of Christ as the First Pope and Apostle to the church. In the same vine can we say "Peter indeed took the place of Christ as both the Head and Source of the Church?"
Christ remains the head and source of the church and not a person, an Apostle, Prophet, President and Founder or an organization.
Eph 1:22-23
22 And He has put all things under His feet and has appointed Him the universal and supreme Head of the church [a headship exercised throughout the church], [Ps 8:6.]
23 Which is His body, the fullness of Him Who fills all in all [for in that body lives the full measure of Him Who makes everything complete, and Who fills everything everywhere with Himself].
AMP
Again the Apostle further argued in Col 1:18-19 that Jesus must take the chief place, the first and the last the perfection of the Body.
18 He also is the Head of [His] body, the church; seeing He is the Beginning, the Firstborn from among the dead, so that He alone in everything and in every respect might occupy the chief place [stand first and be preeminent].
19 For it has pleased [the Father] that all the divine fullness (the sum total of the divine perfection, powers, and attributes) should dwell in Him permanently.
AMP
What then shall we say, "is Christianity now having a new form of government apart from Christ?" Did God or Christ sanctioned it? This human institution which we somehow call the church is but a fallacy and a personal Kingdom as long as it is not centered on Christ and having its life from Him.
Jesus declared that He is the Vine and the members in Him are His branches, As long as we are not having Christ being the Sole Source of our Being.
I am the Vine; you are the branches. Whoever lives in Me and I in him bears much (abundant) fruit. However, apart from Me [cut off from vital union with Me] you can do nothing.
AMP
We have being moved from Christ because of selfish ambitions of individual called man of God who chooses to lead an institution that flows from themselves.
Now, because man would want to be in Power and Authority we see Church Politics on the raise replacing the place of truth, true leadership and the Gospel.
Where men now further their own agendas and interests. The Kingdom of God and the Will of God has been hold at ransom by Man of selfish ambitions and Political Agenda.

Return to the order of Christ, allow Christ to be the Chief Cornerstone and the Head of the Church. Indeed He is the sole sustainer of the Church.
