Why is the church like this There is nothing i like more than the songs of praise and worship been played during church Sunday service in my church it always uplift my spirit and help me connect with my inner peace even when I'm troubled I know that once the songs start going on I would fell a weight lift off my shoulders,could remember the first day i cried during one of the praise and worship service due to how touching the song was,I could literally feel the impact of the music and a feeling like it's speaking to me,that moment when you happen to connect your soul to the music and you see yourself flying round the universe. But the church now seems like a no go area to some people and made them prefer to stay at home rather than go to church this days,you ask why well here are some of the reasons 1)**if you do not belong to a department in the church well you are not know** Some church have this attitude that you must belong somewhere,to a department before the church can intercede on your behalf in times of needs,some church when you have a spiritual problem and need the audience of the man of God your department determines how fast the MAN OF GOD will take up your case 2)**the level of times you come out to the front when the pastor does an alter call for money** If you are not the type that do come out during alter call or maybe due to finance or your spirit not willing to would determine how the church will interact with your family or should I say the pastor getting close to your family,some members of the church keep account of how many times a person contribute to the church which might be normal but some pastors use such list to pick who they would pray for and who not to 3)**some pastors are found of praying for those who give to him while castigating those who do not bring anything** Could remember a pastor said that any body who does not give him anything should not expect any prayer from him and even if he should pray for such person the prayers would not be from his heart,now imagine going to your pastor for urgent prayer because of a sudden issue and you pastor now use the fact that you do give him things and not at his peck and calling to would likely undermine the prayers points you are asking for from him,you will see some pastor and members praising and glorying that person who is always giving to them and see any person who does not do like that as a devil without asking if that person has eating 4)**in some church member who do not have are being looked down at** Some people come to church not to praise and worship GOD but to look for new people to intimidate and talked down at because they felt with the little riches GOD have to them is enough to stomp and vocally manhandled others with insults and trash talks,some even go as far as mocking a preson straight to there faces in public at the church 5)**some pastors prefer to ordained new members who always give them money the title of Deacon and deaconess while leaving out the right people made for such title** In some churches once you are bringing to the pastor just expect a title coming your way,which most pastor uses as a way to cage such person who gives to them to keep giving,and once the person luck runs out of cash such person should get ready to be furstrated to a point that you will use your legs to run away from the church Truly when GOD said that on the judgment day he would start from the church is because lots have deviated from his purpose,plan,and what the church stands for.

The cry of a hurt child in a broken home If suicide was something easy to attempt many people on this planet earth would have taken their life due to grief. A home consists of a father, mother, and the children before the extended family now in a functioning home a man is made to carter for the physical needs of the children with help coming from the wife as well as help out in the emotional needs of the children I feel hurt each time am passing through a street and see some children up to 4-6 years old hawking in the road under the sun it breaks my heart So many children are socially handicapped today due to the family they came from which made most of them to indulge in smoking, drinking as well as taking hard drugs to be able to communicate socially and taking such hard drugs equally leads them to crime because of the kind of people they associate with through such act So many children are being abuse to an extent beyond one's imagination, most time it's not good to marry more than one wife not only because of both wife's trouble but because of your children, you need to maintain their sanity Ever went to bed as a kid crying because of a particular situation in life or maybe going to bed without eating because of your stepmother, or flogged mercilessly by your stepmother all because of a meaningless thing,this are what most children go through at such age where they are supposed to be loved and cared for, now when they grow up they grow up with a seed of inferiority complex planted in them by the people they call family Most men when their wife dies leaving her young children to the care of her husbands would go and remarry which is not bad but would get their eyes and ear blindfolded to the tears and cries of their late wife children who are equally his blood but would even kill them if the new woman of the house say any word or command him against his late wife children thereby leaving them at the mercy of their stepmother who will turn them to slave and make them feel worthless and hate the fact that they exist Some kids start taking the role of a parents as early as 8-12 years by taking care of their siblings because they where abandoned and pushed to the street As a man please before putting ring on the finger of that girl hope and make sure she is of good character, someone who has the fear of God and have the heart of a human being and not that of a beast Also Nothing breaks a home more than marring the wrong wife or husband which in turn leads to divorce, Lucky dube once wrote a song "*ooh my son am sorr*y"the song talks about how sorry he felt toward his son and the pain and hurt his son must have felt because of the divorce between him and his wife Please show love to most of this children you see on the road hawking because you do not know what they are passing through at such a tender age.

Fear of the unknown Ever went out to do something in the middle of the night and feel your heart race hard that you felt out of breath well it's not only you,Now what is fear of the unknown,this phase mean *"to be scared of something that seems real but not existing or to see a shadow figment of object and our brain suddenly project a dark force or an evil spirit within"* One of the greatest tool by which the devil use to operates by enslaving men is by planting a seed of fear of the unknown in their heart,I love horror movie a lot but the truth is not all are ok to be watched because before the image painted in the brain after watching a horror movie dies off takes courage and picturing something else before it would start fading away,now look at this scenario 1) walking through a lonely path It's no secret that people are very afraid of taking some path that seems lonely,I could remember one certain year I traveled down to the village,there is a path that everyone takes even the kids the small small children in the village you will see them passing through that route but heck I couldn't pass such route only me so I had to take a detour to get to where am going which ended up costing me more time. 2) feeling sick and medicine not working Their are some people who get stressed out when they are sick and the treatment they took seems like it's not working,you would see them start crying and acting like they are about to die,and a force would then start wispering to them that yes you are about to did 3)not sleeping with the light turned off Some people get so paranoid if they are sleeping and the light is off they would feel like there is a figure staring at them or standing before them that would or is about to devour them, I've heard so many people say that they always keep the light on when sleeping because they don't want to wake up in the middle of the night and their eyes would do them like a shadow just run past in the wall. Well this are some of the many scenarios that happens to some people,the Bible said *"do not be ignorant to the devices of the enem*y"of which the fear of the unknown is a device used to stir the heart,hope and trust of man in GOD. When you start accommodating fear in the heart it would start having a negative effect in your like the Bible equally said "*for what ever a man thinks in his heart that is what he is*"so when someone who is accommodating fear of the unknown start thinking he or she is sick due to a little feeling then of course that person would surely get sick My brother's please kill off any thing that would cause you to have fear of the unknown for it is bad as a believer thanks.

My days as an usher in the church So there was a program going on in one of the weekly church service in my place of worship with lots of invited men of GOD present,then I just came back from work feeling tired but decided that day to attend the service even thou my body was not willing to take another stress from walking but my spirit said to me,come on even if it's one day that you can go no problem but just attend one of the service, but back then i was just a member with the only church group I belong to been the youth group,so I stood up and went on getting there I took a seat and was enjoying the message been preached when all of a sudden the pastor preaching turn to me and said which department do I belong to in this church,I said to him that I belong to the youth group and he said just that of which I said yes then he called out to the Ushering department head to come before him,when she came he pointed at me that I am one of them now,that she show tutor me on the ways and works of an usher. When I got home that day I was just contemplating,saying to my self can I do usher work,all due to the fact that where I worship is a deliverance ministry so lots of deliverance do take place and you need to hold the people being delivered so that they won't get hurt during the process of the deliverance,I looked at my self an said do I have the strength for that but after being encouraged by my people I decided to meet with her and commit my self to it On my first day as an usher I was made to direct people to where they would take a seat, while that day work as an usher was ok then came Friday night Virgil which was said to be a deliverance night Now in my place of worship during deliverance we the male usher most times help out the female ushers to hold the women when they are ransacking everywhere or falling down due to the anointing of GOD on them or should I say the Spirit of GOD doing his work on their problems by breaking the yoke. Now as a full youthful male with blood flowing through my veins I do get scared of having my private organ erecting due to excitement of having the female body felt while holding them, don't get me wrong an not a pervert but you don't expect them to gently fall down on the ground and it takes strength and your body to sheild them from hitting their heads on the wall also am sure everyone know what most ladies do put on to church this days,a crop top revealing there breast and a tight dress showing off there shapes but guess what,well that was when I found myself not even having such thoughts not even for a seconds,some times when am holding some men who are physical strong and build I feel like my legs are planted on the ground to withstand their strength and not fall down when most of them are jumping up and down expecially the females. Now the one that shocked me and proved to me that truly in the mist of people gather together the spirit of GOD is there was during one of the Fridays Virgil when the pastor,my daddy in the Lord then said that GOD told him to anoint we the usher's hand's and allow us to go into the congregation and pray for the people so he called us up to the pulpit, while standing and getting anointed I prayed to GOD in my heart for him to use me, guess what my brother's when he said we should go to the congregation I was still in doubt and scared but when I place my hands on the shoulder of someone and was praying I saw the person being filled with the holy spirit and the person fell down,I went to another same thing happened which in turn intensified my prayers to a higher level and continued till the man of GOD said we should stop After that day I came to a realization that truly the Spirit of GOD does wonders and made me to know that there is a fire in me which can cause problem in the coven of demons and witches GOD bless.
