Sunday service at church

Let me start first by asking us this question, do you attend church today?

As for me, the answer is YES. It really went nice today at church. We had series of programmes all to make it fun-filled and likewise spirit filled too.

I and my parents worship at a church named Christ Apostolic Church, Church of Sustainance, Zonal Headquarters, Epe, Lagos State located a few miles from our residence. We've been attending the church for almost 8 years now and our enrollment and service with them has really been great.Though, we weren't that much in our church but trust me it always very lit and interesting.

Back to today's service. The sermon topic w.as titled "Things God expected of us"

What are those things God expected of us?

• Gratitude: Gratitude is the sense that showing a sign of appreciation to what God has done and will continue to do in our lives. Sometimes, things turn out to be bad for us, we were made to understand that we shouldn't relent in giving thanks to God, not only when things turn out nice to us.

• Fear of God: A text in the Bible says " the fear of God is the begining of wisdom". In nything we are doing and anywhere we find ourselves, we should always have the fear of God in us.

• Faithfulness: We should learn to remain faithful and truthful at all time. Nobody seems to be perfect though, but we shouldn't allow that phrase to overcome us. We should put an end to backbiting and other bad behaviours.

• Asking for God's directive: Yeah, this is so important in our Christian life. We should learn to seek for God's direction in anything we want to lay out hands on because God knows best, he knows everything even before we ask him and he would always direct us to the right choices and never lead is astray.

• Thorough service and submission to God: We were made to understand that God is a jealous God, he doesn't like a situation whereby his children (Christians) worship or bow down to another god. We should always be submissive too to his wills and terms.

This happens to be the summary of today's sermon at church.

What happens when we possess these required attributes?

Putting all these powerful enchantments on and also putting them into action, the following tends to occur;

• They tend to draw our attention to God all time. He won't neglect us anytime we need him.

• Anything we request from him, he won't hesitate to give it to us at all time.

• In aspect of closed doors, God will always make sure he opens them for us under any circumstances. He will always make way for us even if people keep complaining there isn't a way out.

All these will be ours if we put on those attributes above.

Summary

Let me put this to a stop gradually by asking us " how often do we go to church or chapel". We've been working throughout the week for six days, the last day which happens to be Sunday is meant for resting.

Why can't we just dedicate this one day (Sunday) for God?

Why can't we just go to chapel and show a sign of appreciation for what he's done for us?

Why can't we keep this particular day holy?

The answer lies in each and every one's heart. I know our conscience is judging us right now. Let's wake up from out slumber and make things right by taking the his important step of going to chapel always.

That comes to the end of my blog for today. Seems we learnt something from here right?

See you guys later and have a great day ahead.
