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!

THINK OF THIS

How good is a house if its not a home How good is a tree if it bears no fruits How good is a garden if it has no flowers How good is a clock if it cant tell the time How good is are friends if they cant care and share How good are eyes if they cant be used for sight How good are ears if they cant be used for hearing How good is a nose that cant be used for breathing How good are legs if they cant be used for locomotion How good is a mirror that cant reflect images How good is a phone that cant be used for calls How good is a heart that cant pump blood How good is a book that cant be read How good is a youth without a dream and How good if your life if you are not living for Christ Remember a life without Christ is a life in crisis written by Alice Asuquo 

BARE-FEET TO HIGH HEELS

With speed like that of a thunder clap The din of soft little bare-feet Veered into sounds of sharp high heels hmmm, she's growing into a woman With tempo likened to that of a lightening bolt She's now grown from pampers Into puberty, now with sanitary pads Yeah! she's welcome to the world of womanhood With speed like that of light She's dispatched from the train of childhood Now struggling with self-discovery in adulthood Indeed these are grand steps into womanhood From a wild, mischievous and shabby look Into a face adorned with cosmetics and youthful radiance The outside beauty is sure but the inside Why am i who i am? she ponders Why do i feel vulnerable and incomplete, she ponders Or am i just a beautiful container made by my maker? Maybe  i was coupled with a purpose and and qualities altogether A woman like Rebecca i can be Cos though pretty yet lived a life of purity Not like our beautiful Racheal Oh! very attractive but yet futive A...

SEASONS

At morning The cock crew Announcing a new day Time to wake Time to learn Time to grow In a twinkle of an eye The afternoon came by The sun shone brightly Time to work Time to earn Time to put learning into practice Tick tock went the clock And the night showed up Oh night! A time to rest And time to reap What have I achieved? I asked myself The light of the sun, moon and stars Are all gone dim before my eyes What a seasonal change! My once strong arms are trembling My legs are now weak My teeth are now few Even the sounds i used to enjoy I hear them no more My hair has turned white Like almond blossoms Oh! i'm soon going to my final resting place But rejoice thou young man You are yet in your morning season Be strong, learn and work For the night cometh When no man can work Alice Asuquo
