Faith Is A Race, Run Your Own by Nobody: 8:42am On Jan 28, 2018 |
A lady went to the Pastor and said... I won't be attending Church anymore.. He said, may I ask why?? She said, I see people on their cell phones during the service, some are gossiping, some just ain't living right, they are all just hypocrites... The Pastor got silent, and he said, OK... But can I ask you to do something for me before you make your final decision? She said, what's that? He said, take a glass of water and walk around the Church 2 times and don't let any water fall out the glass. She said, yes I can do that! She came back and said it's done. He asked her 3 questions: 1. Did you see anybody on their phone? 2. Did you see anybody gossiping? 3. Was anybody living wrong? She said, I didn't see anything because I was so focused on this glass, so the water wouldn't fall. He told her, when you come to Church , you should be just that focused on God , so that YOU don't fall. THAT'S WHY JESUS SAID "FOLLOW ME,"!!! He did not say follow Christians. Don't let your relationship with God be determined by how others relate with God. Let it be determined by how focused you are with God. #MessageDelivered 440 Likes 50 Shares |

The pastor was quick to answer that question. I asked my pastor why did God never gave his people signs that the devil was about to strike his church in calabar that led to many deaths of his children I asked my pastor why were the survivors thanking and praising the same God that let others die. Is it that those ones are the devils themselves Till date my pastor is still confused And if u not ready to give me a befitting answer why God let such tragedy struck in his house then don't qoute me pls 25 Likes 5 Shares |

I don't see the purpose of this message. I mean there are more hypocrites in the Church than elsewhere. You go to Church and see renowned prostitutes and yahoo boys who would judge you for not going to Church. Like attending church is a criterion for going to Heaven. Rather than telling people to always come to church without minding how they live their lives after, tell them to live good lives. Church attendance is not compulsory. Never was. Isn't. Never would be. 7 Likes 2 Shares |

This is the best answer to her question. I like that pastor's attitude. Some will come to church and instead of listening to the word of God, they will looking at people with beautiful cloths and iPhone 7+. 5 Likes |
