CHRISTIAN LEADERSHIP UPGRADE: What a blast at Upgrade 3

What a blast at Upgrade 3 (the Christian Leadership Upgrade) last Saturday! (August 17). It was a time of discovery, insight, revelation, excavation and re-construction.

There, we learned about the builders of Zion versus the builders of Babylon-the great war of values. In the first segment, we saw the architecture of Babylon and how their builders capture culture, overturn the boundaries of creation, erect pillars of pollution  destroying values and restraint, corrupting religion, weakening righteousness and promoting alternate lifestyles.  The architects of Babylon are purposely engaging mindset, shifting paradigms away from the fear of God while those God expected to build Zion and inculcate righteous values have changed their course to raising block and cement, building gigantic edifices and external paraphernalia instead of pulling down mental strongholds, overturn the high places that condition the power centres of the earth.

Again, what have you been leading people to? Are you leading people into your church or Christ? Do the people around you- friends, relations, colleagues, customers -find Christ in your conduct?

A lot of Christians are no longer sensitive to that which pollutes the heart. ''American Idol”, “Nigerian Idol” and "Project Fame'' etcetera have become their favorite television programmes. Like one in bewilderment, Olakunle asked '' does it mean the word ''idol” no longer irritate the hearts of believers in Christ? Is idol anything a Christian should allow around him, let alone embrace under any circumstance? What with the obnoxious and abominable trend whereby Christians vote as their heroes and heroine, musicians who promote immoral, despicable and carnal-minded songs?

In this folk, only a very few had a piece of armour on them. Identity of this group was not clear, not even the more visible few standing by the banner. This was so because they kept drifting from one banner to another.

Fighting constantly broke out among members of this army especially the recruits, leaving many with bodily injury now and then. The Generals were more pre-occupied with talking about selves and thereafter engaged one another in a brawl. Pronounced among them also were erratic decisions, confusion and stagnation.
