I WAS NOT IN CHURCH LAST SUNDAY

-
                          

Yes I was not in school last Sunday,the Sunday your lips got closer to the ears of almost everyone, telling them of how much of a backslider I have become . The following too I was not in church , you brought my name as a prayer point before the brethren that I have become worst and that God should save my slacking soul. It was a day after that your legs flipped like pages of a book from one house to another to tell them that worldly pleasures was taking my attention from the church. Two days after was when you concluded I was going to hell no matter what. Few days later you implied that if I be absent next Sunday then I was definitely about to change my faith and you implied that I was about to do so cause I was entangled with the love of the world . Next Sunday I was absent too and this time around all your thoughts graduated from your mind to your discuss with those around you . Then they told those around them and those around them told those around them . The next Sunday you went to the hospital and there I was on the sick bed, I was unconscious and you asked how long I have been here , about a month and two weeks . Now you are speechless (you should be ), your knees never kissed the ground to pray for me if be it true that I was backsliding,your cell phone never dialed my number and your legs that flipped like the pages of book never went to my house to inquire . ONLY your lips spread the rumor. Now that you know , You could not go back to tell everyone that you judged so quick .
If only we can be a little more sensitive and decide not to interfere in the affairs of others ,I know you love to give your opinion but look deep inside of you and fix yourself .If love can't lead then don't be led by anything else.
It's better we pray more , be filled with love and support for one another.
NOW THAT YOU KNOW .

EMBRACING THE DIVINE LOVE: A SOURCE OF STRENGTH AND RENEWAL

-
By Hannatu Haruna In a world filled with complexities and uncertainties, one universal truth remains constant—the profound impact of love on the human spirit. As Christians, we understand that love is not just a fleeting emotion but a divine force that sustains us, and at the center of it all is God’s unwavering love. The Scriptures guide us to recognize that God’s love is not only the epitome of reliability but also the foundation upon which our faith stands. In 1 John 4:8, we are reminded that “God is love,” emphasizing the inherent nature of the Divine to express love unconditionally. It is this love that serves as a compass, guiding our moral choices and shaping our interactions with the world. In our pursuit of happiness and fulfillment, we often encounter challenges and obstacles that can shake the very foundations of our existence. However, the reassuring presence of God’s love becomes our anchor, providing solace in times of despair and strength in moments of weakness. Psalm 36

FAITHFULNESS

-
 By Deborah Temitope Jacob It is no doubt that great is the faithfulness of God and that his mercies endure forever despite our imperfections. Two questions which then remain to be asked are “ what does faithfulness mean?” and “who is a faithful servant?” Faithfulness is the quality of being steadfast and committed to something or someone. It can also mean being reliable and worthy of trust. In Matthew 25:45, the Bible made mention of a faithful servant as a person who can be trusted with responsibilities. There are 4 different aspects of faithfulness according to this writer: Faithfulness to God (Hebrews 11) Having faith in God is trusting him completely. It is the proof of our relationship with God. We have faith in God because we know he never fails. Faithfulness is total obedience or belief in God's word and this will requires us to be connected to God and trust in his word completely. Faithfulness in relationships (Proverbs 28:20) In our relationship with people either f

THE IDEA OF PURPOSE

                                       One of the most discussed topics in every facet of life is the issue or question of purpose, suddenly everyone wants to know why they are alive? What is in the spiritual manual of their lives? This particular questions among others has led to a spring of a new specialization in human behavioral question, invariably we have more motivational speakers and life coaches all round including the writer and it is not a thing of surprise.   But, before I continue I will like to look at what purpose is in the general parlance and what it is in the biblical context, generally purpose as a word means " the intention, aim or function of something; the thing that something is supposed to achieve", also it is "The reason for which something is done, or the reason it is done in a particular way". In the biblical sense, and in my opinion it cannot be more defined than the words of God in the book of Jeremiah 1:5 which I will reprodu
