"Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh."2 Cor 5:16
Ponder!
Most of the true Kingdom people I have met and come to know, don't recognize or relate to people based on color, ethnicity, nationality or social status, but religious people do. They can shout a louder Amen if the preacher is of the same color/ ethnicity, nationality like them. When they have one of "theirs" in the house, I hope you understand what I mean, but if it is someone of a different ethnicity, nationality, color and social status, even though they claim to be kingdom people, you would see discriminative tendencies and prejudice.
I love and admire the generation of kingdom leaders of the 20th century. When T.L Osbon, Oral Roberts, Gordon Lindsay and others of blessed memories met the Arch-Bishop Benson Idahosa, they perceived the grace and call of God on his life, and they received him as a brother and fellow Kingdom soldier, with no prejudice or discrimination. Arch-Bishop Benson Idohosa as well didn't relate to people based on race, nationality, and ethnicity, that was why he accomplished so much for the Lord.
Most of the time, religious people refer to worship in a church headed by someone from their ethnic group, nationality or race even in a multi-cultural city. That's what guides their sentiments and directs the way they relate. Imagine a church having ten guest speakers in a year from the same ethnic group, nationality, and race! Senior Pastor from a particular ethnicity, nationality/ race, same with Assistant Pastor, and those in key positions. I TIRE-OOOOH!
The Kingdom of God knows no ethnicity, nationality, or race. If we claim to represent God's kingdom and still operate with ethnic and racial sentiments, then we still need to be saved. DrBenard Etta
