YOUR SERVICE

-
Looking around today, I do not feel so excited about the way people go about their service in the House of the Lord.
            Service is the particular skill or help that a person is able to offer. Every skill or help a person offers in the House of God should be centered towards God and reconciling people to God. In the House of God (Church) today, many people are only rendering services because of man. They have refused to give all glory and honour to God in all they do.
The service they render is to the head of the church. They pay their tithes and give contributions in church because they want to find favour in the sight of the Church Head, believing that their service to the man of God will take them to heaven. Many now hide under these services and practice several forms of sin such as backbiting, fornication, adultery, hypocrisy, blasphemy etc in the house of God.
      Your service to man cannot take you to heaven, the Anointing or Grace on your pastor cannot take you to heaven. Only the works of your hands will take you to heaven and grant you favour. Rev 22:12 says “And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.". You should look unto Jesus the Author and Finisher of your Faith. When Jesus Christ came to the world, all His service on was to the glory of God and fulfillment of His purpose on earth. Everything He did was centered on God and His disciples did the same.

 Do not misquote me, I am not saying that you should not serve the head of your church; you should serve the head of your church, this is a sign of respect to God also but you should do this with a clean and pure heart. Rendering pure service to the head of your church is rendering service to God but if in your heart you are doing it because of some personal motive, it is dangerous.

            Our service to God is very important. Are you a worker in church? Are you a minister? Do you sing in church because you want your pastor to praise you or you sing because you want God to be pleased with you? Do you bring gifts to church because you want your pastor to like you?
            Remember that it is our responsibility to serve God. It is our responsibility to build for God, it is our responsibility to do things in the House of God, and it is our responsibility to see to the development of the church. Why not center all you do towards God. Every man will be judged according to the works of his hands.
 Check your heart now. Are you serving God or Serving man. Judgment day is near.

THE BROKEN CALABASH

I want to take a journey back into the ancient times, the times of our fore fathers. When there was no technology or any form of advancement in the world, when things were done according to our culture and tradition.              My mum explained to me how marriage rites were carried out. How a woman is meant to keep herself and remain a virgin before marriage. She also explained to me how the groom’s family pays a woman’s dowry/bride price and takes items to the bride’s parent. Am sure some of you know this history.              After the marriage ceremony, the man always return back to his people and the brides people to tell them if his wife is a virgin or not. if the wife is a virgin, after the first intercourse on the wedding night, he uses a white piece of cloth to clean the blood that comes from the woman’s sexual organ. He then takes the piece of cloth to his family and the bride’s parent telling them he married a complete woman. But if he did not meet her as a virgin, he

A FULL HOUSEWIFE, A HELPMEET OR BOTH?

Feminist have come up with theories expressing the need for gender equality between a man and a woman. Although most of these theories have been countered several times, we can’t still rule out the fact that the position of a woman in the family, society and nation is a great one. Permit me to say women are the salt of the world. They make life sweeter when they are added in the right proportion and when treated otherwise you can imagine what the result will be. Without their presence everything becomes sour. The position of a woman in a home cannot be overemphasized, they run and manage the affairs of the home which include taking care of the husband, children, cooking meals, attending to guests and extended family members, buying items needed for everyday life and the list is endless. Although some husbands try as much as they can to help out in doing some of these things while some totally feel it’s the duty of a wife and they never help out. The attitudes of some of thes

THE HUMAN NATURE

I was in church, then suddenly after a short message was preached, a pastor gave me a scripture   (Galatians 5:19) and immediately after I received it, rapture took place and I woke up immediately. I wasn’t very shocked because it wasn’t the first time I would dream about rapture but I asked what about this scripture.         This scripture inspired me to write this: Galatians 5:19(GNT)”what human nature does is quite plain, it shows itself in immoral, filthy and indecent actions”. Human nature: the ways of behaving, thinking and feeling  that are shared by most people and are considered to be normal. After much thinking and pondering about this scripture and the definition of the Human nature, I realize that majority of the things considered as normal by people are actually very abnormal. This scripture explains that what human nature does is quite plain, very obvious for all to see, it manifest or show itself in immoral, filthy and indecent actions. IMMORAL: (of people and the
