Galatians 3:28 ( There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ)
Demonic culture has migrated into the church through a lack of discernment and ignorance of what the Lord says.
Some churches have adopted the tradition of declaring Culture Day once a year, when every member dresses in their traditional attire. They also put on costumes that were used in worshipping idols in those days to glorify God on Sundays.
Traditional beads from the house of idols are brought to church for the sake of displaying God’s love through their cultural background, this is what we would have buried with our sins at the feet of Jesus Christ, that we used as carry over to the house of God.
When we enter the kingdom of God all these are not necessary for we have been identified with another culture which is not of this world and another doctrine that is the doctrines of Christ, we no longer belong to the world and its culture but to the lord Jesus Christ who bought us with a price.
Even drum beating that is associated with the worship of some particular idols has been introduced to the church given that demons are in charge of the worship to possess worshippers during praises in the church.
If you speak against it they will say, that is our culture, we should not allow it to go into extinction in the name of religion, then what is the essence of regeneration, or the essence of new birth?
Is it not to cancel the works of darkness which Christ came to destroy with his death and resurrection? Or how do you bruise the head of the ancient serpent when you are still holding onto his properties?
Jesus Christ is not the culture of the Jews as many presume, he has his kingdom, which is of the spiritual which the prince of this world couldn’t understand, he directs the affairs and won’t allow strange language besides the language of love and faith to be spoken in his kingdom.
Whatever things we are importing to his house won’t be allowed, especially human culture and traditions that are trying to negate his sovereignty.
To display all these is like mocking the kingdom and saying the blood of Jesus is not able to flush worldliness out of our spiritual system, that is why we brought it over to be displayed in the house of God.
Traditions are what link you to your family idols, and heritage, which activate curses and covenants linked to your family.
What do you want with the heritage of your father’s house when God has promised you the heritage of the kingdom through the blessing of Abraham?
You can’t have the two together, it’s either you dispose of one and embrace the other, or a servant can’t serve two masters.
Traditions and culture are what bring separation to the church, this church is for Ibo, this one is for hausa and this one is for yoruba, some in other nations even have white and black church, the black can’t worship in the church that belongs to the white, and we think that by this mentality we are going to the same heaven together?
Don’t let Satan deceive you, Heaven is not for this set of people with such mentality, heaven is for those who speak the language of the kingdom which is love, if you don’t understand it, how will you communicate with the people there?
Do you think when you get there, you can find a companion of your tribe to relate with? No its only in hellfire that belongs to this kind of people who brought segregation to the church, that is the place of the Christians who live with hatred in their hearts, that won’t bend themselves into the word of God and follow His Will.
Even in the new generation churches, the rich don’t want to associate with the poor, they have their own caucaus which they discussed the things concerning the kingdom which the poor are not supposed to involve.
Instead of bringing unity, it brings diversity, the culture of Romans empire brought segregation more than unity to the church of God when it was applied, which created Protestantism.
Adding culture to Christianity turns the gathering of the saints into the worship of the devil if care is not taken.
Easter season is one of them, they transfer the worship of Semiramis and her child to replace the lord who died to set us free, even if it has been passed down from generation to generation its stills not accepted by God, for it spits on the purpose for which Christ came to do for humanity.
Prayer: Father lord, erase whatever culture and traditions have brought to the gathering of your people in Jesus name amen.
