My Neighbor Is Pressuring Me To Accept God by Lostchild(m): 12:39pm On Jan 09, 2023 |
I have a neighbor, a very nice woman who love the word of God. She is very peaceful, humble and meek in nature. She get super excited each time she sees me and often brought gift to me. I know why she get excited which is very Godly and good. Day 1 The first time she saw and met me in person, she was very much afraid of me and wonder where I came from. She knew I am not from the land. When I tried to talk to her, she instantly refused and reject me not to talk to her. She was very fearful. She is a woman that avoid trouble and hardly trust people. Day 7 I brought some fruits to her. She took them from me but I found out she later threw them away. I knew she was afraid to eat from the unknown stranger. Day 9 She apologize over her first snubby reaction about the first day when I tried to talk to her. I accepted her apology. Day 11 She brought to me some fruit too. I accepted them and ate them lmmediately I had the chance. Week 2 She has asked me. Did you go to church today? I replied her, no. Why, she asked? Me told her, I don't go to church. I know what to do and I know where I belong. She became afraid of me more which I understood. When I scan her person, I saw she was harmless and good woman. She was a person of peace and harmony. I then start treating her with agape love as natural to me. I knew in my heart, she will instantly submit to love. For love seek not the upper hand, but the lowest place of service. In time being, she began to observe my speech, behavior and way of life. She saw I was an immaterial person. She became more confortable with me and told me she is happy I move here to join her. One Day She asked me, why don't you wanna go to church? I told her, everyone has their God, and my personal relationship is between me and my own God. She agreed, but insist I should forsake not the gathering of thy brethren. I quote the scripture (Isaiah 57:15) when God said. I am the high and Holy God, who live in a high and holy place, but I also live with those who are humble and contrite in spirit, so that I can restore their confidence and hope. She agreed and let me be. The more she experience love from me, the more she submit and was full of happiness. She then told me I have the qualities the church need and asked me to join their church. I told her, I can't join any Nigeria church for now. Why, she asked? You will also not understand my journey I blurted, but someday, you will. Why can't you go to church to listen to the word of God, she re-asked me? I told her, these Nigeria pastors are fake. They all selfish materialistic men. They don't understand the deeper ways of God, nor do they practice what they preach. She was sadden over my words but nodded her head in affirmation, and told me, not all pastors are fake. I told her, Ok. But I see them as business men who love to do what they enjoy doing. Every Week I do tell her sob stories of what happened to others, and always end it with virtuous message. She likes and enjoy my short gist She then told me, you know a lot ot things about spirituality, yet you don't go to church. Months Later She fully submit to love and we became good friends. She start sharing some of her personal life info unto me, including... She will always give me gift and money without me asking her. Paying my bills, self including food and wanting me to feel comfortable in her house. All these are the consequences of my actions. I, myself can never reject the consequences of love. She is a person that is humble, so seeing her own kind always filled her with excitement. She believes I have the character which God need. She tried to heavily pet me to be going to church. I told her, God has remove me from Christiandom. I can never go back to my vormit. She was like, what Christiandom? I lauuuugh and told her, you will not understand. Everytime we see, she will always gives me a Godly smiles. She said, since I move here, she has never seen me go to church. I always stay at home on sundays. She wants me to embrace and accept God by going to church. She said if I start going to church, things will turn around for me and financial breakthrough will come. I sternly take a look at my good friend and smiled. I have seen more wickedness in this country than you can now imagine. She told me I should not look at the wickedness of men. I should accept Jesus and be going to church. I told her, I don't belong to Christiandom. But until this so called Nigeria pastors start preaching love and start practicing that same love they preach, I will not listen or see them as men of God. THE MESSAGE I recently walk up to her. I asked her, do you know that there are more church in Nigeria than anywhere in the world? Yes, she nodded. Nigerians have more religious centers and practice more Christian spirituality than anywhere in the world. They go to church always. They pray a lot. They sow seed and pay tithe to pastors always and believe in God more than the white men. But their ways and daily life is more closer to that of the devil than of God. Take a look at the white men. They are not that religious like we Nigerians. They don't practice spirituality like the average African black man. But their ways of virtue and disciplinary lifestyle is more purer and closer to God than that of the black men The scriptures (Mathew 5:8] clearly says; Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. 82 Likes 11 Shares |

I remember seeing one thread here on nairaland of a boy who complain of him having financial depression. He said he had no food, no money, no light, no television to comfort him. I was shocked when I saw some here asking him, have you given your life to Christ? Some even comment, have you accept Jesus as your Lord and savior? I was like, wtf is wrong with these funny people? A person is depressed and you are asking him to accept Jesus in hunger? 137 Likes 12 Shares |

Lostchild:Would you rather go to mosque or shrine if you can't go to church? Would you rather be a muslim, atheist or traditionalist if you can't be a Christian? There was a point that you gave excuse if not going to church cos of pastors. Later you said you v removed yourself from Christendom. You see, there are counterfeit products in every original. You might v gone to churches that aren't doing some things right. But not all Churches or let me say not all pastors. That bible verse that talked about not forsaking thy brethren Hebrews 10:25 said so after considering Isaiah 57:15. There's a difference between fellowship together and God that dwell in anyone that's holy. Even evil sects v communion and fellowship together to strengthen each other not to talk about communion and fellowship in the name of God. When you attend church, you ll hear messages being interpreted in diverse ways and more level of understanding. You pray/intercede for one another, you make friends etc. You can say friends can come from anywhere. But if you v friends from house of God, it's cool too. So...the lady inviting you to church did well. She may not be able to convince you immediately and it's not by force. But verily I say onto you. There's a part that lead to eternal life. That's the way of God. Jesus is the truth, the way and life. Attending church services makes your hear word of God from ordained servants. You can say you ll hear it from radio or TV but of you can be physically present somewhere, do it. And evangelizing ll make you fulfill one of the commandments of God to those that has received the gospel of Jesus. Nigerian factor can bastardize things. You can see that sports, education, science, commerce etc in Nigeria are abused. Same way Nigeria affected the church. If you ask Muslims, Traditionalists, even Atheists, their complaints won't be far from Nigerian factor. But remove yourself from Nigerian factor and serve your creator. Shalom. 41 Likes 4 Shares |

Lostchild:To me you keep listening to the suggestion of the devil. Jesus did not promise that you will see perfect pastors in church. Don't hide under canopy of good pastor or they are doing business to fore sake the assembly of God's children. Jesus himself has warned his children that in the end time, many fake prophets will arise and shall deceive many. When Jesus said many fake prophets will arise, where do you think you will find these fake prophets? Is it not in the church? It means at endtime, almost every member you see in the church will be fake (... because he said they will be many...). However, Jesus who told you these things will happen did not tell you to foresake assembly of God's children when you see all these bad things happening in the church. It is the devil that is suggesting to you that you are wise on your own. Jesus prophesied that in the endtime, sins shall multiply. If sins multiply, it may get to every segment of life involving pastors, church members and entire world, but when you see all these things, Jesus didn't tell you to leave or run away from the church. Running away from church is never a solution, it is the deceit of the devil to make you cold so you can fall for his deceit of the devil by taking one to hell. Jesus himself said in the last days, many will become wax cold, it is the ploy of the devil to listen to suggestion not to go to church. You are not serving pastor but Jesus, go to church, see what you can contribute positively to grow the church of Christ as you boost your spiritual temperature as you fellowship with other brethren. Satan is going all around to give people reason why they don't need to go to church so he can win people to hell by making them too cold in the spirit. Be vigilant! 35 Likes 5 Shares |

Religion is a private affair. If you find peace in any religion,it is good you embrace such religion. It is less stressful when we have some illusion to hold onto. Personally, religion is a philosophical suicide, nevertheless, we shouldn't discourage others nor allow others to pushed us into their faith. We should build our faith when we feel it's okay. After all, most of our problems are pragmatic and not spiritual. 9 Likes 2 Shares |

my question here is , if Christianity is the real religion, what of the other religions around the world so those people under those religions will suffer eternal damnation??let's think first , I believe there's a supernatural force responsible for life as we know it. That withstanding ,I strongly that religion is not the way , if you like follow God ,if there is no love in your heart , nothing for you , it's on this same forum people who live in the same country that use tribal slurs on each other .......... if you study a lot ,you will see a thin line of relationship between these diverse religions , some have the same characters with different names ...... In all ,just love that your yourba , Igbo or hausa brother or sister first , then you can call yourself a christian not by your ability to see visions,shalom 15 Likes 4 Shares |
