Myer: On the previous thread we considered why so many have stopped going to church and thanks for the contributions.
For those who shared their experiences and also to those who encouraged them in love and good counsel, you're blessed in Jesus name.
As recommended on the thread, for those who are still going to church, kindly share your experience;
-Why ryou still go to church despite life's challenges? -For those who stopped for some time, why did you return to church?;
Thanks.
Na MEDICAL CENTRE for some people ... (mugu)
@bolded, I stopped going to church for 2 years (2020 - 2022) when my last marriage failed me ( but I realized after 2 years I realized na me pick wrongly ).
jesusjnr2020: How I Lost My Brand New Shoes At A Gospel Crusade Ground
It was the first time I attended a Reinhard Bonnke Gospel Crusade as a kid sometime in the early 90's.
My mum had just returned from the first night of the crusade, and spoke about how Reinhard Bonnke had taken 40 naira from inside his Bible (At the time 40 naira was about 5 dollars so still a big deal for many) and given to a small local boy from crowd.
That was all the motivation I needed to attend the next one taking place the next day, that's if I ever needed one.
My mind was just like, "that kid could have been me", so I followed my mum to the crusade ground the following day.
On getting to the crusade ground in the evening, i could see the mammoth crowd already gathered in the stands of the stadium which was really staggering and quite a frightening sight to behold. I had never seen such huge crowd gathering closehand in my short lifetime beforehand and this took place somewhere in the north.
We made our way towards the area closer to the podium. There were no seats there so we had to stand, but being able to successfully navigate my way to the front of the standing crowd was something that excited me.
Perhaps it was an attempt to get as close to the podium as possible, just in case what happened the previous day (when the little boy was called out and given that amount of cash) repeated itself, however i didn't know I was going to get much more than what i bargained.
After getting to the front of those standing, for some reason, perhaps to be more comfortable, I thought it wise to remove the brand new shoes my mum bought for me from my legs and use it as a seat instead, on the floor.
It made sense until there was a sudden rush from the crowd behind which now pushed those of us sitting on the floor forward and displaced us from our original position.
That's how I found myself in an advanced position but without my shoes.
At this point being in front of the crowd became the last thing on my mind, as I abandon my position there in search of my precious shoes. I tried to trace it back to where I was originally sat, and searched and searched and searched but all my effort was to no avail.
That's how I lost arguably my most priced possession at the time, somewhere in the crusade ground as I couldn't find it before I left.
I came to the crusade ground with shoes but left there shoeless, even without the shoes I came there with.
Moreover I never got the invitation to the podium nor any 40 Naira as the other lucky kid the last night, which was the main motivation behind my attending the crusade that night.
It was indeed a very painful experience at the time to me, as though I should have never gone there in the first place, however overtime, it seemed a blessing in disguise as i have gained much more than what I had lost in the Reinhard Bonnke Gospel Crusade ground, because today I am not just saved, but also preaching the Gospel of Christ to millions around the world, with a similar passion for lost souls.
I believe such an experience in my childhood where I attended his crusade, sowed a seed in my life that also significantly contributed its fair share to the harvest of what God is using me to do today, bringing many souls into His Kingdom to His own glory.
Perhaps I had to lose something very precious to me of this world which is temporal, to gain that of much more value (eternity) which I could never lose.
God bless.

TonyRazor: I'm sorry for my actions, Anambra official who brutalized GUO driver apologises
An official of the Anambra State Government, Mr Ossy Onuko, who reportedly ordered his thugs to brutalize a commercial driver of the GUO firm, for overtaking his convoy has apologized.
He tendered his apology in a statement personally signed by himself.
He said, "I take full responsibility for all that, and I also apologise to the young man, his company GUO, and my friends and well-wishers who have been embarrassed by my association with such act.”
He denied that he was in a convoy, but stated that the commercial driver, drove dangerously, and his personal security aides tried to correct him, but he remained recalcitrant.
“I have been inundated with calls and messages from well-meaning friends, colleagues and ndi Anambra over a video clip that has gone viral on social media regarding an altercation between a GUO driver and myself, the Managing Director/Cheif Executive Officer of Awka Capital Territory Development Authority.
He however clarified that: “I was driving in the company of two civil defence officers seated in the back seat of my Toyota Hilux vehicle, there was no convoy.”
Meanwhile, transport giant, GUO, whose driver was assaulted has threatened to sue Onuko.
GUO in a press statement said it’s driver was beaten with cutlass by political thugs on the order of Onuko. It further stated that her passengers were traumatized as they watched the helpless driver being pummelled.
“We assure all concerned citizens that we will seek legal redress, to ensure that such acts of inhumane treatment of citizens do not keep occurring.
“We have also seen the statement from the press secretary of the Anambra State Government. We are surprised that they would want to defend the atrocious act meted out to our driver today.
“They justified this atrocious action of theirs by contending that it was our driver’s recklessness that led to his being beaten with a machete and terribly brutalized. The false narrative they put out without speaking to our driver or the passengers in the vehicle that witnessed the whole incident speaks volumes.
“We call on the Executive Governor of Anambra State to condemn the conduct of his officials and constitute a panel of inquiry into this incident to curtail the excesses of his officials and avoid a repeat of similar incident which could possibly have led to loss of lives and chaos in the state.”
Before nko, we go apologize to am too after punishment

Jewessgratitud3: Just want to know if I'm not crossing boundaries.
A married colleague of mine is always disturbing me everytime that he likes the perf I'm wearing and requested I get him one. Ivebbeen posting him because, one, this perfume is expensive. Secondly he's a married man and I don't think it's a good idea to gift someones husband such a suggestive gift.
Now the harassment became too much on Monday and I said ok, I'm going to get him one. So I just got him the perf now but suddenly began to have this feeling 🤔 that its somehow. what if the wife finds out it's from me . I don't want problems oh.. I think I even asked him if I should give him the money or get him the perf and he said to get him the perf.
Should I go ahead and gift him the perf?
Una go smell una sef 😒, u don Perceive bunt dried pepper 🌶 before ? E dey choke
