Why do you go to Church?

-

 Hi there, how are you? 🌝 Really?🤔

Have the happenings in the world🌎 tainted your radiant smile 😁?


"Those who bet, would go to hell".

Heavy statements like this, make me cringe.

The Church ⛪  is said to be a hospital 🏥 . Sick folks come to church for a form of healing.


We all know how difficult habits are, to break. We also know how easy it is to live in a veil.

Some go to church because it's a norm. Others go to hear God's word. Some go in obedience in order not to neglect God's people.

Whatever the reason you find yourself in this place, I bet it's legit.

However, when the message takes a turn to derogative words, I think we should be cautious. 


Everyone knows where it hurts the most.

I dislike Churches where half of the time is spent casting blames and running down the members. I wish you'll instruct men to emulate thorough search of the word. And cease following things that don't last. In as much as it's not completely right to cast blames, it's good for those men to desist from vanity. Vanity is anything that has no eternal value.

Have you tried reaching out to the people you are running down? 

Have you extended a hand of love?


The Bible says, be slow to speak, be slow to anger, be quick to listen. (Cf James 1:19)

Remember that for every word idly spoken, we shall give an account.


What's your reason for fellowshipping?


Until I come your way,

Remember it's so easy to cast a stone while you are seemingly not guilty.

Faith, for the Royal Rubies.

    The last paragraph sums it all. The quote from C. S. Lewis is a point to consider. More advantageous will it be if this is encouraged in the fold: 'I wish you'll instruct men to emulate thorough search of the word.' A fellow also wonders why followers of a shepherd emulate all other amiable disposition of the shepherd but his knowledge seeking behaviour. Allocating the responsibility to seek knowledge of the Word leaves the fold, most likely, at the mercy of the discretion of the shepherd. Who will help call for order if the flock is ignorant of the guidance made available to the entirety of the church? Thank you for calling our attention to this matter, Obrerhor!

3, 2, 1. . . Blast off ! Welcome to the second half of 2020. Forgive my delay in reaching out. However, I trust you've been in good health. When the wait lengthens, When all you feel is regression, I hope you remember Him who makes the wait remarkable. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• This period has been filled with unforeseen delays. Several weddings and events were postponed. Some organizations took to the social web in order to keep relevant. Kudos to them. Church halls reverberated with long silence. Classrooms weren't left out as they piled up cobwebs. Oh my, libraries were also deserted. Recreational parks hungered for some merriment. Cinema houses suffered abandonment. Alas, many homes now have steady occupants. During this period, some took out time to develop themselves. Others were not afforded such an initiative. Then we realized that in spite of the events (and what we made of them), time still marched on. Even while we wa

Growing Up: A Scam

Hiya! A pleasant day it is, ain't it? How has it been at your end? I hope you still remember to smile and cut yourself some slack? Today's topic resonates with many of us. Very recently, I clocked a year. Prior to this, I'd always believed growing up to be a scam. I'm glad to point out that this is quietly changing. Nonetheless, that doesn't excuse society for making demands of me before I was prepared. I was told to go to school and gain an education. All glory to God, I passed through the primary, secondary and the so-much talked about tertiary institution. Along the way, I was told when I grow up, the jigsaw puzzle would somehow fit. Well, I have no words for this. Maybe 'cause I'm still growing. All I have is a certain level of distrust against the system. Reasonably, I'm discovering that growing up is an opportunity to become relevant and make an impact in the scheme of things . We were such in a haste to grow up and we had no inkling that we were,

Knowledge

A pleasant afternoon to you. How do you do? On today's post, knowledge is said to be appealing. Here's why... Sound knowledge is a venture not everyone is willing to invest in . Knowledge, they say is power, but what are you willing to pay for its acquisition? Everyone, or rather, majority of folks love to be associated with individuals who are vast and deep versed. However, we fail to make enquiries as to how such a feat was acquired. We would rather appreciate the outcome, than emulate the means. Recently, I confided in a friend my inability to prepare 'starch', a native meal of my motherland. He did well to remind me of the wealth of knowledge embedded in Google. Shamefacedly, I promised myself to look up the recipe for the meal. Don't ask if I have looked it up. How many opportunities to accumulate knowledge have we passed up? Or just when would you realize how powerful a person with knowledge, is? The means of acquiring knowledge is a process
