A Broken System



Ever since the dispensation of time there has always been someone raised up to recognize and fix a broken system.  Back in Slavery days there were people who did not agree with slavery but did nothing about it.  Maybe they figured "hey that's just the way it is". But then there where individuals like Sojourner Truth, Harriet Tubman, Kunta Kinte' and others who choose to take a stand. 

While they were fighting a broken system, there opposition wasn’t few but many. There were many people who thought the system worked just fine only because the system benefited them.  However, there were those who didn't totally agree but were too complacent to do anything about it.
While those who took a stand against slavery eventually prevailed there were yet and still many more obstacles to come for future generations.

Now that slavery in America had been abolished there was now the distant fight for equality and justice for all.  Those leaders such as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Al Sharpton, and Rosa Parks choose to take a stand against inequality.  While many African Americans were just content with the joys of being descendants of free slaves these leaders were raised up to bring awareness to the black community of their rights and liberty that goes way beyond being a free slave and a citizen of the USA.
These leaders wanted black people to know that were entitled to more than just what the white man wanted to offer them.  They fought long and hard and are still fighting to let us know that we can have anything we dream of and the sky is the limit to what we are entitled to.

While many whites and oppressors thought us being free was more than enough and that we should be grateful on top of that, these leaders rose up to say "why should we have to beg and show gratitude for what already rightfully belongs to us"? And with that the fight still goes on!
Now in the church Martin Luther didn't agree with the heretics of church and church leadership so he did something about it.  He made moves that got him kicked out of church, but in turn set many Christians free once again from church legalism and politics.

Then we have Jesus!  He came along to set us free from the hands of the enemy.  When God had already set us free, the enemy tried to put us back in bondage.  That’s why the word says "whom sun sets free are free indeed".  Jesus did not agree with the church leaders either, that's why they wanted him dead.
You see anytime you try to liberate a people the enemy works through the influential (leaders) to silence you, intimidate you and to make you think that you are rebellious and crazy for feeling the way that you feel. Well none of these things are true.  You are neither crazy or in rebellion but you are operating in the liberty that Christ died and rose for.  

Now the black church is amazingly still operates in the spirit of intimidation, manipulation, and control.  Lots of mega churches are built in impoverished neighborhoods to gain the trust of uneducated people who are looking for hope.  And instead of giving it to them freely, it is sold to them on a weekly basis.
These same churches who use trickery and mind games to manipulate and control its members do not build these organizations in well breed areas of the elite and educated knowing that they will not fall prey to their con and tactics.

Today is a new day and a new dispensation.  Leaders are being raised up to come against this poverty python that is sucking the very life out of Gods people.  While church leadership gains wealth and popularity, its feeble congregants grow poorer and weaker with only themselves to blame for not giving more according to the black churches deceitful doctrine. 
Many are struggling to make ends meet not because they don't give but because they are being ask to give what they don't have.  In turn the black churches popularity and fame grows stronger week by week.  Challenging it's lowly followers to believe the hype of being grateful and honored to even serve and be a part of such an bountiful organization.

Not to mention the mega churches that enterprise off of the gifts and talents of the people with ventures such as making records, selling product and hours upon hours of free labor.  In turn when sells and royalties come through these same people who served and contributed greatly get absolutely nothing but thank yous and we appreciate yous.  These we be so nice if you could pay your mortgage with bragging rights, but being that you need cash to make in this world, people serving in these capacities should be paid for their services. Paid and not pimped like the common whore standing on a corner waiting to give her earnings to a man to protect and feed her.
 
The church has gotten both greedy and out of hand.  She is so thirsty now people are willing to sell their souls to get a piece of the pie.  Never mind trusting and waiting on God on no you have to be a thorough bread con artist to be a pastor these days. People aren’t just going to follow if you are not promising them blessings and pastors are not going to preach if they are not being blesses directing by the people.  These things should not be and what are WE going to do about it?
