JESUS' LETTER TO THE NIGERIAN CHURCH
I woke up
thinking about it ‘If Jesus were to write a letter to the church in Nigeria
what would he say?’ So
here goes the letter;
Christ’s kingdom way,
Heaven.
Dear Church,
My spirit cries with what I see. I came to
magnify the old laws and change some. I am a Jew. I see a religion formed in my
name but it doesn’t keep my ways. Why are you divided, there are so many denominations?
I see you using the memoirs of my time on earth for your personal gain. You
distort them. My words are being used to lie and deceive.
Why do some churches say only their members
will see my kingdom? Why do you ask your members to marry only each other? Why is there discrimination amongst you, your Christian
brothers and other religions? Every man was made in my image. In my time, I ate
with and welcomed foreigners, gentiles, Samaritans though I was a Jew.
Why is there
murder amongst you? You do not keep the old commandments by my father or the
new.

WAS HE RIGHT?
I saw this in a group I belong to. It was said that American Comedian George Carlin was the author but i just had to Google it to know if it was a book so I could buy and read. I found out that yes it was from a book but it was written by a pastor, Dr Bob Moorehead, former in his book Words Aptly Spoken, published in 1995. This essay is titled ‘ The Paradox of our Age”. Irrespective of the scandal that followed him later, well that's none of my business. Please read his words below and see if he was right or wrong.
"We have taller buildings but shorter tempers; wider freeways but narrower viewpoints; we spend more but have less; we buy more but enjoy it less; we have bigger houses and smaller families; more conveniences, yet less time; we have more degrees but less sense; more knowledge but less judgment; more experts, yet more problems; we have more gadgets but less satisfaction; more medicine, yet less wellness; we take more vitamins but see fewer results. We drink too much; smoke too much; spend too recklessly; laugh too little; drive too fast; get too angry quickly; stay up too late; get up too tired; read too seldom; watch TV too much and

YOU ARE NOT WORTH IT

I was with a friend who uttered the words ‘Frances,
nobody is worth it.’ I looked at this my friend that I had tried to show ‘you
are loved and worth it ‘on various occasions as the flawed being that I was and
my spirit was silent. What I really heard from those words was ‘Frances, I am
not worth it.’
If you
think no one is worth it then you’re indirectly trying to say that you don’t
think you are worth it. I felt sadness and pity for my friend. That’s a
dangerous way to live. My friend like many other people right from childhood
had been unlucky with love and guys. Yes, we all fail at one thing or the other
over and over but it’s how you let it handle you that matters. How could my
friend let the devil win? Was all I could think. You’ve been battered and bruised; your heart
stomped on over and over so that makes you
