Finding Faith

By -

I had previously asked myself how people that do not go to church on Sundays cope. I even told my younger sister not up to two months ago that it will be impossible for me to miss a sunday service.

Now, the story is different. This is the third sunday and i'm not going anywhere.

I'm sitting to wonder how I was always serious with going to church and I always went on time. I have chosen to call it spiritual apathy. Hehehe......

I am laughing right now and shaking my head. This story is typical for every young person that held unto the faith just by the faith of their parents and did not form the faith for themselves. Every time a young person leaves their parent's house for a place of their own. Their faith shakes!......

In school, in the house they in, anywhere it is that they go to that they are not being monitored. Yeah!! Their faih shakes and they begin to look for their faith. It is not the same shaking that applies to everyone. Like James said in the scriptures, your desire is what tempts you.

For me, it was so much fun in the presence of God. I just enjoyed being in God's presence with the brethren. This helped pull me back to my faith whenever it was getting lost. Believe me, I misplaced mine so many times and still looked for it and found it. Now, all I know is that God is my source. Even if it gets lost again, God will bring me back to it. He is my source!

So, how do we bridge that gap between the children of God and the children of children of God. That there won't be loopholes for the enemy to come through.

I want to get a word from y'all..... Share your testimonies with us. How did you find your faith.
Love ya

Social Media: Good or Bad???

SOCIAL MEDIA:  Good or Bad? I escorted a friend to meet a date but at some point i was upset with him. He claimed he couldn't wait to meet her and yet while we were there (even when i left them alone) , he was spending more time pressing his phone and checking social media.  With the way we use social media today, one can’t help wondering how humans communicated before it or what we will do without it. If you agree with this thought especially the latter, then you’re probably already addicted to social media. With the development of technology over the years came the advent information technology, the internet and web 2.0 which brought about innovations in human interactions and communications like the new media and social networking (Creeber & Martin, 2009) . Now all aspects of human endeavour can be significantly influenced by social media such as politics, business, and religion. Some argue that social media has more negative influence than positive, however, it’s wor

THE BANKING HALL

...ibadan, Nigeria, 14.20hrs. The sun was shining with a vengeance that could only mean it had a misunderstanding with the clouds or some galaxial sky-mate   that fateful Friday afternoon. I managed to catch a bike eventually, only to get stuck in traffic moments later. Why? The Muslims were praying, their space wasn’t enough and then they blocked the entire market road with their mats. I was livid. Whatever happened to fundamental human rights! Blocking an entire ever-busy thoroughfare in the 21 st Century?...hmmm!        #i reserved my comments, for safety reasons# Minutes later, I was grateful to feel the cool breeze as i entered my bank with one mission, collect my ATM card & escape. The queue was discouraging but envisaged. It got to my turn (after ages on my feet) only to be told by the Customer Service Personnel (most comported i’ve ever met) that my card was being ‘Pouched’ from Lagos ...#my eyes grew bigger# ...after a cash deduction & application for its transfer

mY SuIcIdE nOtE The thoughts had been recurrent through the week. I imagined myself leaving a final note behind, but would I write? Other thoughts crept in… I thought to myself, “is it Normal? Is it Christian? Who can I tell of these strange thoughts? Who would understand that I can’t even a place a finger on what is really gone wrong? Is it my job, family, friends, fiends, my faith, my fate, my fears….what exactly? ” Suicide as described by kenea (a lawyer friend), is cowardice; perhaps he was right! {Thank God he  didn’t possessX-men (mutants) skills of mind reading, else I would have been found out} Some folk may think my life is a fairy tale, but then my nightmares were unending. One of my friends rightly analyzed me as 'managing perception'. If you knew me, have met me, or seen my boisterous self, bewilderment of my recent thoughts will panic you. But why would a seeming ‘perfect’ me be depressed I ask? Well, Google was a little help…depression & suicide t
