Let's talk with GECH

Recently, I've heard people using the phrase ''The Church Has Failed Us''. So I decided to ask myself some questions; which church do they refer to, the building or themselves? I know it may sound crazy but just take out time to ponder with me. if they refer to the ''church building'' then the building can't help us any way, but if they refer to the church as ''people'' then yes they might have failed us. As Christians, we should always be ready to be stepped on by people,  we should be ready to be seriously beaten and barter by fellow brethren. This isn't a good reason to stop going to church. Ask yourself, is it really worth it? You and I are also part of the church. When Jesus was speaking about the Church He wasn't referring to the building but to us, So don't let that brother, sister or whoever it is to be your reason of skipping or leaving a church. It isn't really worth and deep down you also know. Th...

Growing up, one of my Dad's favorite scripture was or is Habakkuk 2:3, ''though it tarries it shall come to pass...''. I heard this particular scripture a lot of times while growing but did I really understand it? Another favorite song of my dad is '' I don't mind waiting on you, Lord''. I remember singing this song a number of times during devotions, but did I really understand what it meant? The Wait, Waiting. Waiting is one very difficult thing to do. I have come to a place in life where I no longer mind what happens to me or the future ahead. I have come to a point in life where everything this girl ever wants is Him(God). Life no longer bothers me because I have this assurance in God. I have come to a point where I totally depend on God. For a couple of months now, God has been teaching me how to wait genuinely on Him. For the past 3 or so months, I've been living my life without a smartphone. I have to rely on my computer to ...

Another small story of my life lol. okay let's be serious now. I was never the worship leader kind of person to begin with though I'm bit of a singer. I love worship, I love worship ministers and I used to wish I can. I had this fear and insecurity when it comes to worship ministrations, I was afraid of the call and response part of. I already concluded I wasn't made for that; hell no. As days turned into months and months into years, I began to gather momentum from friends that actually believed I was going to be a great worship leader. I took the challenge, I had to challenge my fears and insecurities. I remember taking a very big bold step, I walked up to my Music Director and I told him '' I want to lead worship next Sunday'' with my body still enveloped with fear. He told sure, go ahead. I went home and I was like '' Oge who send you this one now?'' My insecurities were still getting the best of me. so I did what I could do, I fast...

I remember when I became filled with the Holy Spirit as a teenager.  When I look back and begin to think about it, i just laugh. I've really done lots and lots of crazy things. You know, I never wanted anyone to hear me speak in tongues when ever I prayed🙈; I guess I was shy or so. I didn't want any to laugh  at me, I wasn't confident in me. There was time in church when census was taken, we were asked to stand up if we knew we had the baptism of the Holy Spirit. I stood up quietly and my cousin sat beside me. When she saw me stand she said, "abeg sitdown you no follow, you even know wetin dem dey talk". The funny this was she wasn't even whispering, it was so laud.  I just felt like the ground should open let me get inside but thank God my Md  then resolved my awkwardness. There are many Christians who are just like the old me, keeping their Jesus private. There are so many of us who have buried our talents because we don't want our friends to loo...

I've been pondering/meditating on Psalms 23 recent and I kept asking myself over and over again if I truly understood this scripture. "Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil for thou hath with me". This particular verse caught my attention. Funny enough we say as though we understand  but ask yourself this question: If truly I go through difficult times will I still remember He is with me? At one point or another, we've had to go difficult times. Times when it seems as if God is far from you. Times when you begin to question if God's promises are actually true. Times when you're truly eager to hear God speak but you can't hear anything to comfort your soul. Those times when we walk through death's door, those times when you get to the end of the tunnel yet you can't find a shred of light. Whenever you feel as though you can't see Him(God), He's closer than you think. He just wants you to have him as...

Today is one of those days I get a bit emotional.  I was talking with an old classmate today and we kept talking about howfar we've gone in life and reminiscing about the good old days. I was born and raised by Godly parents. I had a very strict upbringing thereby creating a particular triangle of my life.                           House         Shop                                   church I really can't tell when I started writing but I know I grew up writing about anything that comes to mind. My parents weren't aware though, they just know I'm different from the rest. Nobody really discriminated against me until one faithful day in 2013 when I was in the University. There was this man that normally comes to speak to us and sell his magazine.  He was an amazing speaker. I thought I could ...

Over the years, I hear people say they have a scripture for their life and I'm like when will I get mine🤗 I have read scriptures but it seems as if non of them seems to fit my life ( really dont know if this sentence is correct but all the same forgive my errors😊). A few years I got a scripture for my life and it has been amazing🤩. Today we are going on a journey to see how amazing God truly is. Can I hear someone asking to know about this scripture? Calm down, calm down we are getting there😋 Matthew 6:33- Seek ye first the kingdom of God and everything other thing shall be added unto you. Seek ye first...... The present day Christian finds it difficult to seek or chase after God. We ought to be God chasers I.e we ought to diligently go after the things of God. Let me shock you a little There's no way you'll go after God's business that He will forget about your own business. One of our primary assignments as Christians is service. Just serve H...

Recently I got reconnected with alot of close friends I had lost contact with. The funny thing is I just kept asking everyone of them about their faith and amazingly they're still in the faith.  It's not easy serving God, I repeat it's not easy serving God but its also easy serving God, it's also easy serving God😋. Don't ask me oo try and make it to heaven so you can ask God🏃‍♀️.  Life in Jesus is the first best thing that can ever happen to anyone. Some say being a Christian is hard but believe me it's not really hard. The confidence I have in God is that I believe He is always with me even in my dark days.  I'm this one person that worry a whole lot. The past me use to worry about every little thing even after praying I still worry but since i came into a full and deeper understanding of who God is and who God can ever be i began to worry less especially after praying.  One thing about being in Jesus is that you can leave all your worries, al...

 Somewhere between the end of last month and the beginning of the month, I was in dire need of something very important. I kept thinking about ways to solve this particular issue over and over again. Like I'd always do I prayed about it. After my prayers I told God, Let your will be done but there was a second man in me also telling God I want your will to suit my will please. I wanted God to answer my prayers in my own way and style.  As I lay on my bed to sleep that night, I heard God clearly. He said " who told you I will answer you in your way?" Immediately i asked God for mercy and the Holy Spirit began to teach me through that experience.  Most times as Christians, we often want things to go our way rather than the way Gos has planned. We pray let your will be done but in reality we want our own will to be done. We are actually scared of God's will because we know God's will might not be in the form we want. God's will might not be in th...

I believe the man behind the scenes has the answers I believe that man has comfort to offer So I pay attention and expect answers I believe the man sleeping in the boat is a prince I believe that man has peace to offer No wonder He is called the Prince of Peace I believe the man in the boat can calm the storm Even when the storm rages furiously at me So I wait for Him to calm the storm I believe the man on the cross is a giver I believe that man has salvation to offer So I pay attention and receive His grace
