The local church system means a whole lot to me because I've been one of the greatest beneficiaries of its essence, structures, and divine blessings since I was a boy many years ago. This is one of the reasons why I keep giving priority to the local church system and advising everyone to have a commitment to a local church family. As I progress gallantly in life by God, a time will come when I will be graced by Jesus to write a story of my life. But here, let me give you a short testimony.

I was born into a mixed-faith home, my mum a Christian, and my dad was a liberal Muslim who allowed his children to practice the Christian faith. Now, my mum's church was a distance from where we lived, hence my mum permitted her children to attend a nearby local church with some neighbors.

As a 6-7-year-old in the children's church, my children's teachers were quick to spot the grace of God upon me and never discriminated nor ignored me because my parents were not members. Rather, I became the children's class pastor (during children's anniversaries, the kids take charge of the service of the big church). So I started preaching in front of adults at a tender age, and it was helpful in preparing me for my future and refining my gifts.

Eventually, after approaching my teenage phase and it was time for transition from the children's church into the main adult church, my then church pastor quickly started entrusting into my hands responsibilities that helped became structures and systems that ensured I keep engaging God in a corrupt environment.


It is important to note that I grew up in a society where corruption is the order of the day, and living in sin is a trendy thing. One of the reasons I wasn't drawn into the corruption prevalent with my peers was because I was busied with church responsibilities. As a young teenager, I was a Sunday school teacher, an interpreter, an usher, a part-time chorister (because I can't be doing ushering and choir at the same time), I was part of the evangelism team, I was a youth leader (some of the people I lead were far older than me), I became the sort-of district youth pastor without being ordained (the other youth pastors in the zone were far older).

To cut the story short, my local church became a training and empowerment center God used to shape me for today and the future. After leaving the church to go to the university for my undergraduate studies, it was easy for me to serve with my student fellowship (where I was eventually appointed the President).

In conclusion, it doesn't matter the extent of the attack against the body of Christ, the church is a big blessing to me (and many like me all around the world).

Jesus said - "I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it." (‭Matthew 16:18 NKJV‬)

Folks, let me be truthful with you. The best decision you will ever make for all of eternity is to accept Jesus as Lord and Savior and forsake any sinful way. Jesus said “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." (John 14:6 NKJV).

To be saved from self, sin, satan and death, simply confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead. God bless you.

I used to think I was the only one who had this school of thoughts, it's really satisfying to see someone whose sense of reasoning coincides with mine.

u listed to be saved from "Satan, sin and death" . can u explain the "death" part? Cos its same fate awaits all, irrespective of they are serving God or not. That your beard, try remove it pls

Great testimony. The Lord has taught me too the importance and the reality of the church--which is his body. Inspite of the innumerable issues that seem to surround the church let us not mistake the appearance of it for its true reality. We can only realise the trueness of the church only by the Spirit. The church still remains undeafeted and victorious, may the Lord open our eyes to see this!

May we also not be church goers or christians by name only or at best merely religious but let us ensure that we have Christ in us for it is only him in us that makes us believers. Let everything we do proceed from him and be to his glory. 🤍💛

Happy Sunday All 😊

Religion extremelist is our problem from child hood

Thank goodness

Try emulate this today as their Sabbath day!

At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath. His disciples were hungry and began to pick some heads of grain and eat them. Matthew 12:1

Jail waits you!
