ARE YOU A BELIEVER OR A CHURCHGOER

Today Church has become like a commodity where people shop for moving sermon, inspiring worship, good music and quality child care, instead of a place to serve God in holiness.
Most new comers in town today are shopping for what they can get out of the church and not what they can give to God. Sermons from the alter today hardly rebuke sins,  but prosperity and motivating words. There is hardly any difference between our worship and disco hall; our music and dancing steps are like the people of the world.
Many are in the church but they never have an encounter with the Lord. Tolani Ajayi, a 21 years old boy,  who killed his father in one of the Christian camp in Nigeria,  made this confessional statement in July, 2014 "I never missed church for once this semester,  but I still take hard drugs, smoke and so on".  It is not only about going to church but being the doer of the word. James 1:22 says  "But ye doers of the word,  and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves". In our churches today, men are dancing at the bank of hell as if they are on the border of heaven, because we are not preaching the totality of the gospel
Are you a believer or a churchgoer? Are you born again?  Do you have a soul-saving encounter with the Lord? Many are in the church choir, ushers and workers without genuine salvation. Going to church is good but you must take a bold step to have a personal encounter with the Lord.
Shalom!

Be blessed.  *THANK GOD ITS ‘GOOD’ FRIDAY (TGIGF)* The acronym TGIF is not new to us. The rationale is to thank God for another weekend with a relaxational and funfilled expectation. Lo! This Friday is different, it is good Friday. What constitutes the prefix ‘good’ is the salvation manifestation of Jesus that this day reminds. It wasn’t funfilled for Him yet the Joy was set to save humankind. He was scourged, forced to bear the Crossbeam. The nails were driven through the wrist and feet. It took hours of hideous pain as the extremities turned slowly gangrenous. Death was caused by loss of blood circulation and coronary failure. Jesus suffered the most painful and degrading form of capital punishment of ancient Rome. However, the Cross became also the means by which Jesus became the atoning sacrifice for our sins. It also became a symbol for the sacrif...
