When I think about church.

I think about broken people who are gathered to exalt the one who saved them by grace.

I think about fellowship with people I can call my adopted brothers and sisters.

I think about shield and protection from every form of war. 

But now, I ask myself.

Does this generation have the same definition of “church”?

Can a sinner readily run to the altar and confess his sins without the judgment of men?

Can I take refuge under the shelter of those I call my brothers without their ridicule? 

Is the fear of the temple as a place where God resides still in the hearts of men as the days of old? 

Is the motive behind fellowship genuine and not for the benefit of individual selfishness?

My heart cries for the church and its relevance 

My heart is in deep regrets as the days of youth aren’t used for the fulfillment of God’s Kingdom 

My heart is saddened as we, the church have become lukewarm slowly allowing the devil to be the center of attraction. 

Questions upon questions but without answers. 

Why has the church lost its relevant?????

But in all this, my joy has no boundaries as the bible says in John 16:33 “I have told you these things that you may have peace in me. Here on earth, you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.”

For I know, the day is approaching

Where the church will be revived and all the downfalls will become history. 

Peace.

I still see your face in the mirror

I still feel your warmth around my body

I still hear your words of encouragement

I still hear your whispers of love deep down

I still feel the pain of your chastisement

That has shaped my being today.

The pain of your departure has left a great bruise

Which I thought could never be healed.

But thankfully, I am more than victorious

Death may seem to triumph over you

But not for long.

For I know resurrection is yet to blossom.

For when it does,

Death shall be put to shame

And all shall rejoice again.

Do I know God Or have I been playing under the influence of religion? Do  I know the depth of his love Or have I been deceived by the world’s definition of love ? Do I understand his grace Or…

You understand me 

When I say am tired

You understand me

When I say am lonely

You understand me

When my weakness overrides my strengths

You understand me

When I  find it difficult to trust

You understand me

When am down with tears with no one to share my pain

You understand me

When am  anxious about what my future holds

You understand me

When my fears consumes my faith

You understand me

When am at the edge of giving up

Dear lord,

I know you understand me

Cause you never judge my feelings

But instead you wrap me in your arms

And whisper,

I love you despite your flaws.

As the going gets tougher

And the wind gets stronger

You might feel weaker

Cause the enemy wants your dismay.

But I urge you to tighten your belt cause your ride is about to get smoother

And you know why?

Cause he who is greater in you,

Is stronger than any of the storms.

So Stay Strong.
