And Then....i Found GOD by RCINC: 9:19am On Aug 26, 2016 |
How I may have found my way I usually tell people I was not born a Christian, I was born into a Christian home. Growing up, I hated going to church, there was always something irksome about the long service and expected righteousness When I was thirteen, I got warned by an usher never to wear my trousers into the church premises again I hated skirts, so I never went back When I was fourteen I slept like a fool at the front row of a redeem church, I never went back. I however became a Christian in my early university days Its easy to get roped into religion and church as a fresher in the university very easy because at some point I found myself winning souls for the church too When I got into the university, I got roped into a church and I started attending services I became a Christian, a choice I made on my own I never attended an altar call, I just made up my mind to be a Christian and my service in the house of God begun You see, the certain church I worshipped in was a campus ministry that never acted like one. The members almost had to do all that a normal church would do (this isn't a criticism) so we all served in departments of our choice, we did everything to the best of our ability to serve I did everything to the best of my ability to serve I remembered being warned a couple of times about my 'pride' "Swallow your pride, Adora" I couldn't see my pride but by God I would have jugged it down faster than a cold glass of milk if I could And while I gulped down lumps and lumps of everything that came with service to God, I was still at some time advised to swallow my pride I was advised to quit being stubborn I asked a lot of questions, I ask a lot of questions, questions that didn't go down well with the asked "All these people here, do you consider yourself better than them?" "You need to listen more" At a point I stopped asking, and started listening. To cut the long story short, I fell out of the ministry, the unexpected happened and I walked away. When I left, I was broken, shattered beyond repair, I had lost myself to those people to pleasing them to the church So I wandered from church to church and I couldn't find myself anymore The Nigerian parents are not the only group of people we should worry about in terms of upbringing, we should worry about the church and some religious leaders too Don't get me wrong I mean no disrespect, the church is a wonderful place to be but when the church starts telling you to ask lesser questions and just buy their gist When they tell you to lose your self esteem so that others who lack can interact with you When they make you bow under pressures and lose your principles with reason its time to be worried about the system After one tortuous year of leaving the church, leaving God, going back, and leaving again, I found God. I found God where I least expected on my bed on a certain night, in my room. I found him, and I found him easily too That day I realised what it meant to be called a child of God I communed with him and I understood him God is everywhere, in everything, can you see him? Because I can, because I always will. Service to God would be the greatest thing that would happen to man, and the best way to serve God is to serve humanity, is to serve your positive passions, to serve your goals and aspirations, to live fulfilling your desires knowing that in the end you have fought a good fight. You might clean the chairs all you want You might sow your seeds all your want You might beat the drums all you want You might usher the crowd all you want Without true service to God from within, without the love for the next man you tag a sinner, without the absence of fear to chase those dreams Without the audacity to live this life Who would you be fooling? God is in everyone and everything, can you see him? If yes, I suppose you have peace the depth of eternity If no, why not find him? Check out: www.theadoraweb. 1 Like |

Hiroto:Oh, pls don't be. He sees your heart, He sees your deaire. Stop trying to do it by youraelf. Pls get everyone, I mean Pastors or any one else out of your focus. Tell the holy spirit how you feel. What do you want? tell him in those plain terms. Ask for an encounter, "Lord, that i may know you". Let this be your desire. 0 |

According to the Op and the best way to serve God is to hmm. If i am to test this in the light of scriptures, it is wrong especially since we are supposed to be dead in Christ. Hopefully the Holy spirit will correct this if indeed God found the Op |
