He got to church after Praise and Worship, took different shots with his iPhone when the announcement was on, and jes a few minutes after the set man of the house stepped on the altar to share the 'WORD', my guy slept off. (Anecdote of a guy that sat very close to where I sat in church today). He woke up when it was offering time though, (presumed the mellifluous voice of the Choir woke him up). Then I began to wonder 'why do people go to church? Do people (oh sowie, supposed christians) think all that God want from us on sundays is our offerings, or to raise the attendance list or to make the seats warm?
Many attend RCCG thinking they will automatically be counted as the redeemed of God, many attend WINNERS CHAPEL, filled with the thought that just sitting in an AC loaded auditorium is the prerequisite for living HEAVEN on EARTH, and many are filled with the thought that being a DEEPER LIFE member invariably gets you DEEPER in christ (still thinking); Like a friend once posted, 'THERE ARE MANY CONFUSED SOULS THAN LOST SOULS', little wonder why many have confessed prophecies to the extent that they are now confuse. Claimed to be the redeemed Israelites but yet they suffer like the israelites of old. (Is there no BALM in GILEAD? they kept asking, and in their confused state, they conclude that 'their own God is on strike'. *Forgetting not the assembly of brethren without participating in the fellowship is worse than forgetting the assembly* (who knows where the casted out demons would want to abode and start afresh! JES SAYING). All the above being said,
My Main Point: You ask and receive not because yea ask amiss. When you go to His presence, go with a prepared and positioned mind to receive from God, hungry and determined like Jacob who thought it deem fit to maximize the opportunity he had, and faith strengthened like that woman with the issue of blood. Your case is never too big or late for my God to handle, all He's asking is that 'You be positioned to receive', SHOULD THAT CONTINUE TO BE A DIFFICULT THING TO DO?
Good morning!
