…says problem of Nigeria is not politicians, but church
A revivalist, Pastor Chris Benny has said that the inability of all the churches scattered all over Nigeria to effect changes in the nation with the Gospel shows that there is something wrong with the kind of Gospel preached in this part of the world.
Benny who is also an author, Gospel artiste and music producer disclosed this to our reporter in Aba, Abia State while answering questions on the situation of the nation and the role of the church.
He stressed that true Gospel has the potency to achieve and accomplish deliverance in a nation.
He however said that when many people in a nation claim to be preaching Gospel, others claim to be adhering to it and at last there is no meaningful impact, then something must be wrong somewhere.
Benny lamented that after several decades of Nigeria’s independent, regular power supply still eludes her and her youths cannot boast of regular paying jobs after graduating from the university.
He said the whole society suffer from lack of good health care services as a result of selfish and greedy politicians who prefer too much talk without positive action simply because the church has refused to speak against such.
In his words, “After donkey years of independence, no regular power supply, no job for our youths, no good health care services, after we make trillions of dollars from our revenues, our selfish politicians are filled with greed and too much talk without positive action.
“Television stations and newspaper companies have been in the forefront of the cover up of this blatant criminality.
“Our land is having this structure because we are suffering from what is called a prophetic silence, the voice of the prophets has been shut.
“We must go back into the hallowed antiquity and ask the LORD God for the rain that activated grace upon the wise ones. It might fall again in abundance.
“We must call to God from the earth, we must gather the testimony from creation, the utterance of wonder from the sun, we must gather together with an oblation of fire.
“The church of today has come to a point where we are no longer wise people. We just do earthly things. The church has become so big in number and has as well become too natural and carnal.
“Our lives, our scale of preference, our vista of perception is all a function of the natural and as long as we function this way we can never truly synchronize with the invisible dimension that we have in Christ Jesus that is supposed to propel us to be the people that God wants us to be.
“God’s intention is not just to raise men that can speak English language as disciples but as warriors. Men like Paul and Joseph lived without a bible, by what creed and wisdom did they refuse women and corruption.
“There’s a lying spirit in the body Christ, we must discern it; we must see it and we must walk away from it.”
Speaking further, Benny said, “So many people has borne the message of the gospel upon their lips, yet it has not changed our land.
“But the one that Moses preached had the capacity to destabilize the spirits of Egypt, something must be truly wrong with our gospel.
“I said that something is wrong because the gospel has the potency to achieve and to accomplish deliverance, we must trace our heritage in God and align to it.”
He went on to say that there is a great need for leaders, men who will distinguish themselves under God stressing that people now come and waste on earth because they don’t get to find the accurate purpose for their been born in a time like this.
Benny pointed out that it takes a peeping into the mysteries of God to find out why someone is born in a certain time adding that only the few that are afraid of the truth, birthed in cowardice will fail to see the obvious that the land needs Divine Intervention.
“Only the greedy and the damned will fail to stand up for the truth and be counted as men. Only the sophisticated morons would condone every passing abomination out of morbid fear of offending their masters.
“Every Herod that is interested in taking away our peace, or tries to stop us from achieving our aims and dreams, or fulfill purposes and destinies in this nation, I decree and declare your downfall.
“Any man that have come in disguise to disturb or disrupt the peace of the church with an evil agenda, you must be eaten up by maggots and let the earth swallow such a man in the name of Jesus Christ.
“The purpose of church is not to gather a group of people and cage them in the prison of religion, but rather to inject them with the salt of the word of God and send them out to influence people everywhere they go with it.”
Speaking more on the problems bedeviling Nigeria, Benny said, “Religion is the greatest enemy of the society and the greatest threat to world peace. The problem of our nation is not the politicians but the church.
“When light goes off, you don’t go about blaming the darkness, but rather blame the light for going off, because darkness will always be there, it is the job of the light to keep it out.
“I mean your life must be lived as a strong reference to God. We can’t continue with this beggarly motivational Christianity and contend with the darkness that is raging in our time?
“What so many people are practicing in the name of Christianity is fake. Our pastors now take advantage of our women and ladies vulnerabilities in church.
“We see people from our churches made commissioners and they become more terrible than an occultist. A pastor goes into politics and becomes a dangerous tyrant because he didn’t come with a true immortal shape.
“We are the last generation of the people God is preparing to use in this end time to invade the systems. Many of us might not be used in the altar as it were.
“Many of us might be sent to market places as business men apostles, many of us might be sent to the system of educations as prophets, many of us might be sent as civil servants to the government sectors.
“There will be all kinds of possibilities demonstrated. Don’t just limit what I’m saying here to pastors, because you are the person God is preparing and intending to use in any area and aspect of life He has placed you.
“Wherever God puts you, you are an ambassador there representing His kingdom on earth.”
He said he has taken the bold step of using music to disseminate the raw Gospel of truth because It’s a field he’s called into and has over the years been taken over by those who have misused it.
He said he already has a track in his forthcoming album titled; Divine Intervention where he pointed out the ills of the church which is the reason why the general society is polluted.
Speaking on why he chose music as a channel for preaching the Gospel, Benny said, “I chose the way of music because as a singing minister I know I could as well preach it in the pulpit but the reach may be limited to go as far as I’ll desire it to.
“Music is a means of education and disseminating information, although today, musicians now make themselves object of mockery by the lyrics of their music.”
Benny is also a pastor in Royalty Network Int’l. He said he has a mission to impact and transform lives through inspirational and thought-provoking information.
He ministers in churches, crusades and conferences and has written songs like; You are Real, Jesus reigns in Africa and including the best selling “Joyful living praise” and many more.
