*A Must Read.*
Mr Segun arrived church 5 minutes after Sunday school…
Elder Odukoya noticed him but didn’t ask why until after service…
Immediately after the brethren said the grace, he walked up to Brother Segun and said…
Brother Segun, how far, you came to church late today and I didn’t even see your kids in church, what happened?
Ahhh Elder Odukoya, it’s well ooo.
No no Bro Segun, don’t tell me it’s well when it’s not well, what happened? Why were you late to church and your family didn’t even come?
OK Elder, I have serious financial challenges, we didn’t even eat throughout yesterday cos there’s nothing at home…
I left house around 7am trekking to church, I trekked for 2hrs to arrive here around 9am after theš„ Sunday school…
After explaining in tears, Elder Odukoya held his shoulder and said, it’s well like you said earlier, my brother. The Lord will surely provide…
He continued his sermon to Bro Segn. “There are too many others who once passed through same thing, their situation has changed now. This government of our county is very hard my brother… ”
He walked away, but he had not less than 5000 naira in his pocket…
At home, they have one bag of rice they just opened and over 45 tubers of yam…
They have beverages and they have money saved in the bank…
Bro Segun trekked back home, sweating and hungry to meet his hungry wife and kids…
Brethren, the last time I checked, ‘it’s well’ is not ingredients for cooking soup…
‘The Lord will provide’ is not a kongo of rice…
and cannot refill the empty gas cylinder at home…
Yet we call ourselves the image of God…
We forget that God who we claim to be his image is love and love is giving…
What will it take you to share what you have with your brethren?
Some of you have kids in schools that pay fees in dollars yet the man sitting close to you in church can’t even send his kids to a local school in town…
If only the early church in acts of the apostles will be given the opportunity to watch us for five minutes, they will weep because this is no more the foundation they laid…
Our love for money has overshadowed our love for our fellow human…
It seems the part of the Bible which says “if you can’t love your brother that you see, how can you love God that you can’t see” has been deleted from our bibles …
Oh that our hearts will be revived to love and show love again…
The death in church today would have reduced…
If only we can be like Jesus and stop deceiving ourselves…
If only we can show mercy …
If only we can show love today and not tell love…
Ponder on these things…
God is love and love is giving.
Let us reduce depression
Let us rescue each other
Let us reduce the death of our brethren especially the youths who find it difficult to cope.
Don’t ever go to sleep without checking on family and friends, feed somebody today, help someone today, be like Christ, be a real Christian.
‘God bless you’ is an act of love, show it in action not with your lips.
Youths, no matter what’s happening, SUICIDE IS NOT AN OPTION. Talk to someone today.
When you see them over excited for nothing, depressed or they start keeping to themselves, please don’t walk away, someone is losing it.
“By this shall all [men] know that you are My disciples, if you love one another [if you keep on showing love among yourselves].”
John 13:35
*Let’s change our orientation by helping each other.*
