The Senior Pastor of TK heritage church,
Lawrence Onochie disguised himself as a beggar to the church he
pastors.. and he sat in the middle of the congregation.. No one
recognized him.
So, a call was made from the altar that each brethren
should invite someone they didn’t know in the church to spend Christmas
with them!
No
one came to “the beggar”, no one invited him, no one wanted to Identify
with him.. and then he walked to the altar and addressed the
congregation.
Onome (@Onome_tsd) on Istagram who witnessed the scene First-hand shared the story, below is what she wrote:
My
pastor, the senior pastor of @tkheritage, @lawrenceonochie was in the
congregation today dressed like a nonentity, a nobody, a beggar and no
one recognized him. When the call was made to invite someone they didn’t
know to spend #Christmas with them. No one came to him, no one invited
him because no one wanted to identify with him.
That’s the world
we live in. We relate to those we feel are in the same social class with
us and despise the needy, the hungry and extend help only to those who
already have. That’s not what Christmas/Christianity is about. It is
about caring for those in need, strangers, the despised.
Change
your heart today and focus on what matters and what counts. Ask your
self what would God do? Will God despise you when you are hungry, when
you need shelter, when you are lonely, when you are sick?
People
matter to God, let people also matter to you. Stop to help a stranger,
put a smile on someone’s face. Christianity is not a talk. It is in the
doing.
