You are always the first to pull me down at the slightest given opportunity
Whenever the rumor mill is running in the church, you are eventually found out to be the originator who confidently confirmed the “FACTS” of the case, because you were a close friend everyone believed and thought you could not be telling a lie.

Why do you still call me Sister/ brother you hypocrite!
We work at the same establishment but I found out lately that you have been the clog in my wheel of progress because you have been seeking favors to climb the corporate ladder to success heights and your biggest tactic was to criticize and discredit others within the system.

Your deceit and hypocrisy even outmaneuvers those in the secular world and in the church, your struggle for position, power and favor is no different, you trample upon heads to be in charge and to be seen above all else.

Always scheming and plotting just to be seen to be the one who can do it all.
When you see someone who is gifted at anything, you bad mouth them and malign their character; you even gather forces against fellow brethren all within the church for worldly gains!

You spoil other people’s efforts or find a way to discredit the person who is also willing to and zealously serving the Lord within the Body of Christ out of pure jealousy and envy.

Currying favor from the Pastor, elders and senior workers of the church by always bad mouthing someone else (as if this is a ticket to heaven), you do not stop at that you go further to divulge all that has been put in your confidence by one who thought that he/she was confiding all that burdened the heart in a friend and brother/sister.
Alas! You turned out to be worse than an enemy who was fully armed for war.

Your story is not different from the case of the one who a sister in the church once told all her marital troubles and woes to and how it even led her to commit adultery, to the sister’s delight, her confidant advised her to speak with the Pastor, who also said she needed to be taken through a process of repentance and soberness of heart.Fair eough!
Amazingly, this sister got home later that day to find her belongings waiting outside the front gate of her home tagged Adulteress GET OUT!
\Who told the husband who was not even a member of that church?

How can the manifestations in the book of Acts begin to take place and manifest (check out Acts 2:42-47, John 17:18, 2peter 3:14-15), IF Christ’s church continues like this?
I once heard that Mahatma Gandhi was quoted as saying that he would have become a Christian but for Christians and that he loved Jesus Christ and what He stood for but he saw that, his followers were not at all like Him.
Pity! What a shame to stigmatized so, but is it a lie?


1 CORINTHIANS 12:20
BUT NOW ARE THEY MANY MEMBERS, YET BUT ONE BODY.
