Easter Is About Conviction :: Mmegi Online

It Is already about Easter time. People are already getting excited because of the Good Friday holidays. Many are planning to go on holidays or to visit family and friends. Without doubt a lot of bo rre are heading to cattle posts and farms. Business people are preparing for a bumper harvest as they will be raking in lots of money from such sales as alcohol and different food stuffs and other consumables.

On the other hand, some churches are planning to go on pilgrimages; the Zion Christian Church members heading for Moria in South Africa, the International Pentecostal Church members heading for Shilo, while the Spiritual Healing Church members are preparing for a pilgrimage the north of the country.

Amidst all the excitement, the important question is how much of all this is about the death and resurrection of Christ? The focus, once more is on those things that make us happy and excited, it is about our plans to pass time and recover from the stress of school and work. During this time lives are lost as people drive recklessly, many under the influence. It is not only bars, bottle stores and food outlets that make a monetary killing but more importantly churches, or some at least. I say churches when I should be saying some pastors, prophets, evangelist... the titles abound!
