THE MYSTERY OF PELLER AND CULTURE SHAPING.
I think many preachers are out of touch with the current world.
We relate with church people so it’s possible we are locked in our mental loop.
Even I didn’t understand the gravity of culture shaping in this generation till i started paying attention, especially with the Olodo Uprising paradigm.
Now, I am not a proponent of the seven mountains of influence or whatever, but one thing is clear, influence in this generation has changed hands!!
It may not be a convenient fact for a cerebral character but the facts cannot be ignored.
If Peller calls for a meeting today, only God knows the thousands of young people that will turn up!
A hundred years of sharing tracts on the streets or holding mega phone may not meet up to that singular summon.
We have to accept new people are shaping the culture across the world!
And they are doing it from their phones.
It’s a reality we must now accept!
I don’t believe there is a move of the Spirit on media or there is any prophecy attached, I don’t do spooky stuffs or try to find bible texts to justify everything around, all I know is that the world has moved very far away from the media we are used to, growing up.
The earlier the church adjusts to this reality and find ways to get ahead of it, the better for us.
Since we are dealing in the business of mental real estates, social media influencers seem to own cities while we are struggling to own kiosks sometimes.
And let’s not deceive ourselves about how Preachers are becoming global figures in very short periods of time, it is simply through this same social media!
We can delude ourselves that God is announcing this or that, how come God is not announcing missionaries in the villages who have no access to media?
A critical part of adulting is confronting reality even when it’s uncomfortable.
Things are not the way they used to be.
Now, that’s fact!
