The heart of service

Okay, today's sunday and I'm really excited, First, today's message in church was just really powerful.
I attend one of the world's best church ;Daystar Christian centre pastored by Rev Sam and pastor Nike Adeyemi, my church is the best and I'm not just saying this to make it really look or sound too good, It really is the best. I'm not really good with flattery but I can say one thing for sure, Daystar is the home of stars and its the best place to be groomed into a role model for others. You know our nation has to get to that point where we stop blaming the government for issues that can be fixed by an all round change of mentality, I'm one of those who think National development should first start individually before it becomes a nationwide thing.
Okay I know I'm beginning to sound like my pastor but some things happened to me today and I really thought about it, Its about service and faithfulness.
One of my pastors used to tell me something while I was serving as an Assistant pastor/Worship leader wayback in my undergraduate days, he'll say "Timi God chose you because he saw your faithfulness in little things and your heart of service".
I guess because of the love I have for God, I see service in God's house as what I'm on earth for, it comes naturally for me, I don't feel pressured to give in my time for service in the church and that's because I've learnt to get my priorities right.
I feel like encouraging someone reading this post before sleeping , You know you might have been serving God in your secret place, giving your all in God's house , your local congregation, or anywhere you find yourself as a representative of God and people are tagging you as being too serious and making you feel discouraged, I have a word for you, " Dnt get weary in doing good" Because surely the harvest is going to come and it is gotten in sound health, blossoming relationships, abundance, and many other good things..
You can't serve God or attend to what concerns him and not expect him to bless you, he surely will.
You just keep being faithful, let them tag you as the Churchy girl, or the churchy guy, keep doing it, God sees your heart, he'll bless you and announce you to the world.
Okay, I'm going to sleep now,I really needed to post this now. God loves you, tehila loves you too. Goodnight.

I give myself away

Okay, slept like a baby last night after fighting with myself over what time to do my laundry, I had chores lined up and one thing was on my mind , "SLEEP", Yes, that reminds me, I finally decided to put one of my songs into writing and funny enough it kinda sounds funny to me even though the lyrics weigh more than I'd just sit down to write, Its a song about me , about us being ready to surrender to God....
You know we all get to that phase of our lives where everything is pinting towards Total surrender to God, to live our lives for him, to give our all to him.... Pastor Bolu said something in membership school today, God bless his dear heart, he said befor you give your life to Christ, your life is still for you to shape and plan, But when you give it to Christ, it becomes Christ's , no more yours... And I sat down to reason this statement out, befor I became a believer, I had wonderful plans, I wanted to become a well known scientist, even if I knew I had a calling and a ministry, I still wanted to do my own will, and funny enough since I sat down and decided 'this is it' no more playing around, I'm for God, Everything began to fall in place, I studied microbiology for four years, and well I'm a microbiologist but Is that really me living life; being an analyst, Am I really fulfilling purpose by sitting in the laboratory?
Everytime I have to do something contrary to God's plan, do I not hurt the holyspirit of God in me? .
You know now I'm thinking of a whole lot of stuffs but one thing is sure and I know it; I want to learn how to love God, and I want to love him to the point where I know I can boldly lift my hands to sing "I Give myself away" ...
The worship ministry is not just for singers, its not for the talent, the runs and drilling while singing is not enough, for me it goes beyond using my skills to bringing down God's prescence, it goes farther into making God Glad, it goes into setting people free from the captives which the devil has put them into...I cry when I worship, Its because when I think of the amazing love of the father and how ungrateful man can be it hurts, and yet he loves us....
He loved us first, gave his all for us and so we should be ready to do so....
And with this note I rest my little fingers, I. Still listen to William Mc dowell's " I give myself away and sing the song with reverential fear, because that's a promise I'm making , to give myself into his work, ridding myself of all pleasures, taking each step with faith, knowing that he's making me into that great woman. Have a great day, and to you who just read this post, God bless you real good.... XoXo

Tommorow I'll change. 

A friend of mine passed away today and it really got me thinking. She used to be in my friend's department, she was dating a lecturer who at that time was married, and she was the talk of the department as she really knew how to play her cards well...beautiful, brilliant Tomi, she really loved and enjoyed the spotlight while it was on her, the sorrow she caused the wife and children of the man dint amount to anything to her...Yes she graduated as one of the best of her class , went for the 3weeks orientation for the National youth Service corps here in Nigeria and returned home only for her to Die on the day of her arrival.... I'm sure she dint think of dying at a time like this, I'm sure she'd been adviced by friends and well wishers to turn a new leaf, I'm sure she'd procastinated on repenting. And I'm sure her excuse would have been the regular layman excuse " tomorrow I'll change"

 And so tym runs fast

Each day passing away so fast as tho it waiteth for no man...Times come, trands come and go, seasons come and the whole cycle goes on like that

A child is born, a man is dying and each day we get closer to that "day"

And then I think of the excuses we all give, 2moro I'll work on my Relationship with God, 

Let me indulge in this habit for just once more, 2moro I'll repent, Why not take out tym to imagine that u were living ur last 50days on earth....What will it be like? Will it not be filled of good works, will u not live each day with great care, being good to everyman and doing good works because u know the end of ur journey is near....

As Christians and believers that's just how we should live each day, for the time and hour that the son of man cometh, no man knows and when he comes we know not....He stays at the door and knocks, he who hears and let's him in shall be greatly blessed...Accepting Christ is good but not enough, keeping him in our life is what matters, giving our lives all to him.....Cos when Death will come no man knows, shall we then leave the earth filled with regrets over bad choices made, shall we then leave filled with dreams unrealized? 

Think and ponder on these things.....

Dare to different

In life, I have noticed one thing and that is people live life each day as it comes, going around different cycles and learning new things everyday. From the beginning of time till this present age, man has always been into activities , in the modern world of ours, expectations have to be met, the demands on each individual to blend into the ideals of the society is high, we see a whole lot of laid down rules, set by men who have deemed it fit to direct the course of life of many individuals, forgetting that the uniqueness of our society lies in the difference in opinions.

Children are born and then moulded into what seems to be the perfect adult , and we all live life each day following these same patterns without questioning it. In the western part of Africa, Nigeria where I come from I've seen a lot of things happen. I've seen children born and raised to be what they never loved. I've seen parents live their dreams through their kids, I've also seen children silenced because they were critisized by their folks for daring to be different. I've seen so many ideas which have not been and most likely will not be actualized because of gender based discrimination. I've seen a lot and I've dared to be different. I've dared to stand out, I've dared to be the voice of all dreams which have been killed, I've decided to be the voice of all those who have been written off and termed 'Misfit' because of their unique abilities. I am the One, the one who will see the truth and keep it in the original form. I chose to be the one who will refuse pleasures just to stick to my ideals. I choose to be the one who will live my dreams, I choose to be the one who will fulfil purpose because of one man who gave his all for me "Christ"
