It's your choice...

...ok, before we go too far, let me reframe that.

There are some things that none of us have a choice about - for instance, you don't have a choice or even a "hand" as to whether you're male or female. You are the gender God created you as and no incision or delusion can change that...

Another thing that we do not have any control over, is whether or not we face challenges in life. Jesus promised us challenges - and victory too.*

Put yourself in their shoes...

During church services or outings, we're always putting our children in check - actually sometimes (or most times) we stretch them. We're always telling them (or ourselves): "Others are watching you - so you must be a good example."

It's not on your back...

I have noticed a number of people in church carry on as if the whole world is on their back. It is a very hard way to live - this picture is just a faint depiction of it. Bishop David Oyedepo said that: "You cannot look up and down at the same time." Try it and see - can you? Neither could I.

Trust?

Who? How? Why?

Recently, I listened to Bishop David Oyedepo's message on "Church growth." One of the many things he said that struck me was:

"God has trusted us,

so we must be able to trust others."
