STRUCTURE OR SCRIPTURE: Which one is Driving You?

By Oluwatosin Oladipo

Structure without Scripture will lead to a problem known as FRACTURE.

 Imagine a building with fracture or someone with brain fracture what will happen to them and people around? 

The result is the increase in mad rate (mental disorder) in our society causing unrest with their insanity inherited  due to their association and engagement with a faulty foundation.

Madness is not pertaining to only people demonstrating insanity by packing jargons around our communities but all that do contrary to the 'will of God'. Injustice, corruption, hoodlum, nudity, ritualism, kidnapping, stealing etc are also symbol of insanity in our society today which has become normal thing.

If your organisation or life is not backed with scripture your standard will be base on sculpture (structure). 

The image you are seeing as  structures  are devil's sculpture coloured to deceive and capture many souls to his kingdom but the word of God which is the scripture giveth life.

All the hullabaloo we are facing now are as a result of departing from the Ancient road or erasing the ancient landmark.

 Jeremiah 6:16-21 emphasized on it  'Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.

6:17 Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken.6:18 Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O congregation, what is among them.

6:19 Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my words, nor to my law, but rejected it.

6:20 To what purpose cometh there to me incense from Sheba, and the sweet cane from a far country? your burnt offerings are not acceptable, nor your sacrifices sweet unto me.

6:21 Therefore thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will lay stumblingblocks before this people, and the fathers and the sons together shall fall upon them; the neighbour and his friend shall perish.

Many proprietors, school owners, G.Os, pastors, prophets, deacon, elders, music minister are agent of devil protracting as servant of God.

Many children have been exposed to immorality through what they hear, read and watch. Imagine a child hear music full of sex jargons from parents and school, there is no way he/she will not practice it because children are always curious. 

Hoodlum rate is increasing day by day in our society where cigarettes, indian-helm, cocaine, weed smokers act in the public spaces. It is because they lack knowledge of the through word of God. Though we have learned but illiterate people who knows the implication of their action yet engage in distractive path. 

For example, a doctor who knows the implication of smoking, that it affects lungs, yet still smoke. Addition! 

I was discussing with a colleague in the industry on living a life of standard without sinning recently. His response indicate that, the society has been damaged long time ago, he said "it is not possible, our lecturer told us that, to perform excellently, you must be addicted to either one or two of the following, sexualism, smoking, and drinking to lift creative spirit".  Matthew 24 said alot about this act and the deceivers.

These are false doctrine from the pit of hell. School business is not just for money making but to impact and raise Godly standard people who will become a product to our society not a problem. Let your standard be scriptural and not structural.  I remember those days when we recite a Yoruba poem 'Ise login use, mura SI ise ore mi'(work is the antidote to poverty). Most of those schools are owned by religion centres, community etc. Education was based on the scriptural value 'bible and Quran' and Omoluwabi' principle in Yoruba culture. What happened now!

All our religion centres have neglected there primary principles as of old, now they are running after mega building. Leaders are blind folded from the scriptural value by the devil's sculpture to attract more soul to His kingdom. The world has entered the church and the church in the world. Taboos now become civilization.  People don't want to go to a scriptural based school, church because the word is too hard, who can take it.

They are tagged 'old school's. The new school churches with magnificent building, where the truth are turned upsidedown, where members are not sober after sermon, choir rendition or Sunday school, all they scream is, 'ride one pastor'. Hmm! You are riding to destruction.

If your standard is not JESUS Christ you will be in Crisis.

My scriptural prayer for a new Nigeria where scripture will be our standard and not structure. 

Prepare Nigeria and your church for the looming 'famine of the Word of God, because they have neglected the scripture for structure.

Our leaders  don't want to hear the truth anymore, they want to twist it according to

2 Timothy 4:3-4 “For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.”

Revelation 22:18-19 “I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book, and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.”

Nigeria is becoming a nation of falsehood where injustice is the bedrock of success, Lord let your will be done.

2 Peter 2:1-2 “But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.”

A great number of false teachers are paddling the affairs of our communities churches (prophets, pastors, teachers and evangelist from the pit of hell). Lord, stop their activities.  The Church is sick; deceivers, conspirators, accusers, antagonist have taken over the nation's affair causing distress. A healed church will result to a peaceful nation.

Father let our leaders, citizen of Nigeria and church Live by your Word (scripture and not sculpture which is structure).

Matthew 4:4 “But he answered, “It is written, “‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.”

Lord stomach disease is affecting our leaders because of what they want to eat they can't say the truth, father  heal them to speak the truth according Ezekiel 33:8-10.

2 Timothy 3:16-17 says “Every Scripture passage is inspired by God. All of them are useful for teaching, pointing out errors, correcting people, and training them for a life that has God’s approval. They equip God’s servants so that they are completely prepared to do good things.”

It is never too late to change your focus from structure to scripture despite your fracture. Solutions to any kind of fracture you may have sustained are in the scripture.
