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...

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
