CAN I MEET YOUR JESUS?



A while ago, I went to a particular deliverance church because I felt like I had 'life pain' and there was a woman sitting in front of me with children. She was so harsh with them, I felt they must have offended her from home. Then one of them sneezed and mucous was flowing down his nose, I saw her searching frantically for something to clean his nose, all to nought so I offered her tissue.
She took it, without a word of thanks and even gave me a look of " who send you?". I was so shocked I could not concentrate again. I knew she was a frequent flyer of the church because a few people greeted her. All I could think of was how those people are angry people and I didn't want to meet their Jesus. I stopped going to church again,I was discouraged. 

Thank God I know better, thank God I met a woman who made Jesus appealing, thank God I met her Jesus.
There are many ways we turn people we are trying to win to Jesus away. We can't be self righteous. We can't make them feel like sinners, unto say na you holy pass, You are constantly angry, rude, uncouth and cursing and you tell me Jesus is peace, I will call you a liar, you are selfish and you tell me to come and meet your Jesus, that He is love, I don run na. 

Is your Jesus appealing to the one who doesn't know Him? When I was a club hopper, if I want you to come clubbing with me ehn, when I start to tell you first that I can get you through the gate without paying,get you drinks on the house,or that the Dj is the best in town or get you a free ride down even up to cloth to wear,you will find clubbing interesting. I made it look like you were missing out if you sit home on a Friday.

That's why you can see a person and say a person is perceived to be a pastor, probably because he or she was kind, compassionate, patient, polite, endearing towards you.

Want to win a soul? Make your Jesus appealing that anyone will want to meet Him, be the example.

EVIL ASSUMPTIONS..



As I am sitting in the office listening to a conversation between two ladies and I realise how easy it is to boast in yourself thinking you are giving a testimony. 
I could not even sit down there, had to go another part of the office. From one topic to the other but all in her abilities and her husband's. It is well sha. 
She try to give God some glory.

Anyway, there's a girl I see in church that I always thought didn't like me or was dismissive of me.
I always felt like she felt too much sef. There are two of them, they would be around me, say hello to everyone except me. I come start to wonder. 
So that's how the Holy Spirit said to greet them when next I see them.

So yesterday in the evening service, I had to walk past her and He said greet her, and I did, she answered. She was in my study class and she answered a question about living ready and she said 'live peacably with all men'. For my mind, I say ' see person wey dey talk wey dey always do face when I wan greet her', are you living peacably?

After service she was with a friend, I wanted to avoid her o, but I needed my friend to drop me off at home. A few minutes later, she walks up to me and tells me she's getting married and needs me to encourage her. I was so taken aback. I felt so bad. I dey dere dey judge person wey no even look me like that. Shame unto me. Chai. Evil assumptions. 

Lord have mercy on me o.

Proverbs 25:8 (MSG)

WHO IS PAYING YOUR PRICE?



I was having a conversation with someone and he told me a few things that are influencing his choice in a life partner. One of the things he said that blew my mind is when he said a woman takes over from a man's mother as soon as she marries him. She's meant to cover him, especially spiritually.
He told me about a man of God who took over a church and the congregation dropped by 30%, and his wife looked at herself and said never would it be in her husbands time that will happen.

She would pray and fast without ceasing, up to the point ushers will physically carry her to an adjoining hall, leave the door open so she can listen to the service because she was sometimes so weak. And of course the congregation exploded.

I heard of another woman who is a prayer warrior, and all her kids are doing so well. (No be kris kardashian type)

Now let's forget if our parents were not spitting fire spiritually, we are old enough to take responsibility. Many of us are young mums, mums to be, let's stop this crop of irresponsible adults that have been let loose in this present generation. Let it not pass on to the next. 

Jesus has paid the price, the wife of the pastor paid the price for the congregation explosion, the other woman paid the price for her children's success..
Who's paying your price? 
Whose price are you paying? 
Make we tie oja and invest in the future.
