BECAUSE OF YOU

Ever wondered why many people have still decided not to go to church and probably give their lives to Christ? The answer might simply be........BECAUSE OF YOU

'"I went to church as they invited me to, but i was surprised to see you dressed in your most holy attire and acting so seriously. Later i heard them say its testimony time and i saw you stepping out in a very happy mood and you behaved as the holiest of them all. I was confused and began to doubt within me if it was you or someone else. I finally decided to listen to you and i heard you give a testimony unto salvation. Immediately, i made a decision not to receive salvation if that was all about it.

 I sat in bewilderment, but i still decided to stay. i was still surprised to see you and your clique singing the praise and worship songs with a very loud voice and i could not help but wonder.
Is this what church is all about? I saw pretense and hypocrisy everywhere. I continued to think..... was it not you who clubbed all night? when did you suddenly become so holy? this your friend is the same girl who committed abortion last month and you still want me to believe you? Again, i do see you fighting with your mother and the elders in the neighborhood or am i seeing a different person?
I tried staying to the end of the service. It would have been a very wonderful service if not for the people i saw.

As for me, i read my bible and try to do what i can but i dont like going to church so as to avoid being angry with the people therein who profess a thing and then do the opposite. I dont really think i can go back to that church BECAUSE OF YOU"

Thanks for reading. God bless you!

FORMERLY USELESS

FORMERLY USELESS In this journey of life, we get to hear about or meet people who are being considered as bad examples. People often give advice to others and say, 'do not be this or that person'  Lydia grew up in a toxic environment, being born out of wedlock and her naive mother could not really give her the upbringing she deserved. She was forced to navigate her way through life all alone. Often times, people referred to her as a useless child. She lived a life without sense of purpose till the day she was led to Jesus and her life experienced a turn around for good. You may be in a situation where people have looked at your life and termed you 'useless'. The good news is that even though you are a cultist, a thief, a fornicator, an adulterer or the likes, Jesus is ready to change your story. Onesimus was reintroduced to Philemon, his slave master urging him to take him back stating that ''Formerly he was useless to you but now he has become usef...

ABOUT LOVE

The cute guy came around and smiled at you, such that made your heart melt right inside of you and then he said Ï love you". The feeling was just indescribable, in fact you felt the whole world was revolving around you. He told you that you were the true definition of perfection and he couldn't live without you...   Yes, he may have loved you, but was it really love or ??? I don't think it was love because I learnt that you cant really love someone whose assets and liabilities you cant define. Ok... you looked good; your Brazillian hair, glittering dinner dress, diamond jewelleries, flawless make-up, beautiful shoes and irresistible cologne fragrance were all in tact.   He was attracted and carried away. You thought it was going to last forever...... Just after a while, he stops calling, ignores your calls, becomes too busy and gives countless excuses. It hurts, obviously true. It can actually make you feel less about yourself but here is God whispering in ...
