I joined Christ Embassy 8 years ago, and I have not regretted it at all.

I love my Man of God, Pastor Chris so much because God used him to open my eyes to his word. I have learned to fellowship with the word and the Holy Spirit, and my life has never being the same again.

His teachings about the Holy Spirit has tremendously helped me.

His love and compassion towards people has also helped me to learn to show love in the ways that I can.

I don't joke with my Rhapsody of Realities. I read it every single day, say my health confessions and the #keepsayingit confessions of the day.

I also try to participate in the Monday, Wednesday and Friday Pray-a-thon.

All these has helped to improve my spiritual life, and I'm grateful to Pastor Chris for that.

His recent teachings about the rapture has also put made me conscious that Jesus is coming back very soon. I have prepared my heart, and consciously laying aside every weight of sin that would make me not to be a part of the first flight. I definitely do not want to be here when the antichrist shows up.

These rapture teachings has made me to pray for sinners more. I pray everyday for my friends that are not born again, I declare their souls for Christ, and I know that God will answer me soonest. I also pray for sinners all around the world, nobody should be here during the reign of the antichrist because it will not be funny.

I have also learned to be faithful in paying my tithe.

I love you, Pastor Chris. Thank you for letting God use you to give my life a meaning.

Scared? wonderment. You will be lying to yourself if you said you have not rejected any quote. If not,we won't be here.

I would rather be scared of mysterious things than be scared of who's trying to convince himself about something he doesn't conform with .

Both are good. It's just that model parish are so fashion conscious ( which is good) so I get carried away sometimes with fashion and worries of what to wear next because everyone is always dressed to kill. That I don't have a problem with but it makes me sort of lose focus of why I'm in church. But classical no send you. If you like repeat one clothe for 6 months, no body will look at you or begin to calculate all that ( that's what I feel though).

I just wanna go and worship God. And I don't want anything that will distract me.

The model also known as Apapa family are very warm and loving people though but that fashion... grin .aaahhh I never get their power now.

Point gotten!

Meanwhile, it wasn't fashion u projected initially as what endeared u 2 d said Church!

U actually pin-pointed such things as their Bible-based teachings, spirit-resonating worship, soul-calibrating praise, and others!

Dis, of course, is what got me fascinated too!

...bt now dt u've injected fashion into d stuff...

At dis juncture, shld I reckon dt it's d non-fashion consciousness of d Classical church dt motivated u 2 hang on there rather than their teachings & songs? Huh?

I only wanna be sure & convinced of d reason I'm following u 2 d place!

Clear my doubt, Mercy!

Re: Why Did You Choose Your Current Church? by Ozoben: 8:16pm On Nov 07, 2021
My brother,in as much as I don't object to your personal opinions about certain religious practices undertaken by the Catholic church. I want to tell you that most of her practices are misunderstood by you,brother.You see, I want to believe that you just went through only their catechism classes and that's all.No,your steps to Christian faith and understanding doesn't stop there! I am sorry to say that you have only but a limited and crude experience and knowledge about some of the core practices of the mother church. I am not here to say that the Catholic church is the best church. Of course,that may and may not take one to Heaven.But what I am trying to let you know is that you are still a floating Catholic.I need you to dig in dip and know the true reasons why some things are been done in the church.Join a pious society(The block rosary crusade,the Ligionary or even the Catholic charismatic renewal group for better enlightenment in the faith) in the church.Ask those of better understanding,get religious materials from the church and make intensive research as to why certain practices are carried out.Don't just copy others because they said it should be done that way.Ask God in prayer during your quiet time or prayer session (if you do any) to reveal to you certain mysteries and hidden truths about the church. I must confess to you... I am a Catholic not because someone preached to me,I am an ardent lover of The Blessed Virgin Mary, not because I heard that she is the mother of my Lord and Saviour... but because I have had personal overwhelming encounters of her that some deacons or pastors haven't had.My question again is... Do you have a personal relationship with God?Have you had any personal encounters with the Divine?How much do you know about the Catholic faith?How much do you know about Mary?And,how much do you know about your real self as a Catholic Christian?Pray!The Lord will show you the way.

My comparison of their fashion style was in response to your question about the difference between both classical and model parishes. But generally, I'm stuck with RCCG as a whole ( be it model or classical) because of the reasons I stated initially in my very first comment.

Got that?

I can visit anyone anytime.

Hideki:
you are not ready to become a Catholic. Catholicism is booming, presently in England a lot of Anglican bishops are resigning to become Catholics. I would have loved to elucidate on those things you captioned but you have already taken a position. Continue with your Church. Peace be upon u.


I don't care about what is booming. All I care about is the truth; and that's what matters after all.

Scamburster:

If these is your own criteria to join catholic, better remain where you are comfortably confused.

Confused? You must be joking.

Who is more confused than the people who do honour human traditions and doctrines above the Word of God?

For a start, take about three different calendars of Jesus you can see. You'll immediately spot the difference between the Jesuses.

These are the questions:

There was never an image or photograph of Jesus when He was on earth. 300yrs later after the Roman government adopted Christianity as state religion, we started seeing images of Jesus and Mary!

Now, tell me who got those images. From where? Any artist who would correctly draw Jesus or Mary at the time would be above 300yrs old. You and I know that this is imossible.

Tell me the sources of those images. Are they really the true images. Remember that God expressly warned:

"Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under earth: 5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them."

Exodus 20:4-5.

I know I have a choice but my mentality towards church in general has been affected, with the way things are, hence the reason why I said I don't have a choice, cos going to another church won't change my mentality now...


Know what you want in a church first. Any church you attend up to six months and you don't get it. You leave to another church till you get what you are looking for in a church.
