"In our church, we don't take offerings and we don't ask our members to give".
You're trying to avoid a problem but in the process you create a bigger problem.
Giving is a preserver of the heart of the giver, their honour to God and preparation for eternity.
Don't deprive men!
I love/respect people with GREAT MINDS so much.
People who are concurrently successful at multiple things:
- spiritually sound
- raising a family
- entrepreneurial and hardworking
- great at keeping healthy relationships
- helping society in ways they can.
Man, be GREAT!
POUR yourself into whatever you're involved in. Be there and present. Give your best and your all.
Your church, your family, your work, relationships. Don't be half-hearted about the things you're involved with.
Be great at it or not involved at all.

The FOOLISHNESS of evil is in its thought of silencing of TRUTH.
It has happened time and time again that death brings nothing but amplification to the truth.
A life cut seems to bring delight those on the side of evil but if only they had known, they would never employ death.
There’s a strength in HUMILITY that the courage that PRIDE feigns does not come close to at all.
Let’s not be deceived, true strength is in the things that don’t look like it sometimes.
QUITTING is not in the DNA of the righteous. It is the fruit nearest to unbelief and doubt.
No one can genuinely be a believer in the workings of God's Power and also characterized by giving up easily.
My friend, DON'T QUIT oo!
Give yourself the chance to see God's help.

Both Peter and Judas betrayed Jesus around His trials for crucifixion.
Judas betrayed by acknowledgement, Peter by denial.
But we know one gave up, the other pressed on.
Regardless of what your mistakes are, no matter how bad they are, your story ends when you decide to QUIT.
"That teaching is not for baby Christians, it can cause them to sin."
Two questions:
1. Are you saying that teaching is actually true, only not for some? So it's the truth.
2. Are you saying you are not a baby Christian since you know who it is for and who it's not for?

The choir team will spend weeks rehearsing a song only to start singing off key on the day of Ajodun.
Let keyboardist now be a "do di re ri mi mi mi mi mi" guy. 😅
Stage fright is wicked man! 😅
One more reason why worship leaders must not see that work as a performance.
"That song is blessing people all over the world".
The blessedness of a song isn't in its spread or the fact that unbelievers are singing it in clubs.
It is in the teachings it reminds us of and the life it stirs us up in remembrance to live.
Is that song truly a blessing?
A balanced teacher of the WORD is not one who is mealy-mouthed about everything, strangely ambiguous, not definite about TRUTH.
He is one who EXPLAINS everything that should be explained, WHEN they should be explained, to WHOM they are to be explained.

Pastors who want to start a church in a community and put out flyers calling for VOLUNTEERS, what exactly is your expectation and agenda?
Who are you expecting, unbelievers or members of another local church?

There’s a strength in HUMILITY that the courage that PRIDE feigns does not come close to at all.
Let’s not be deceived, true strength is in the things that don’t look like it sometimes.
Forgiveness heals the soul better than medicine works on the body.
Don’t withhold it from others especially because our LORD did not struggle through graciously lavishing it on us.
The power to forgive lies in the understanding of how much we’ve been forgiven ourselves.
Don’t LIE to make money.
Don’t STEAL to make money.
Don’t DECEIVE others to make money.
It is weakness to do that when you can make a honest living through discipline and diligence.
Most importantly, glorify God with all your means and don’t convince yourself otherwise.
I pray this new week ushers in great light and resounding hope for you. No darkness will shine, no confusion will stand.
May blessings surround you and the favour of God label you.
May we all look back at the end of the week and have many reasons to be thankful to the LORD.
🙏
May I be the FIRST to read the ART OF THE PRESIDENCY by Donald J. Trump?
You like him or you don’t, there’s so much to learn from him.
