Is God Calling Me Back? by freecocoa(f): 11:56pm On Jun 28, 2015 |
So BABE3, I kinda took your advice and went to church today, not. Like I planned to anyway, I was supposed to go somewhere today to hang out, but I had some time to kill, so I decided to honor the invite of a friend who said Frank Edwards, Akpororo, midnight crew and some other artists would be there, I actually agreed to go because of akpororo. So there I was in House on the rock church, G.R.A port-harcourt,(stopped going for years now) the concert started and was really a beautiful one. The highlight of the event for me was Akpororo, that guy is critically sick with talent, he's incredibly talented, I didn't know dude can really sing, dance and more. Then there was Frank Edwards, I just got to know that the guy is really smallish in nature(not that there's anything wrong in that ![]() ![]() ![]() There was also another guy kore or so formally with the infinity band(olori oko), that dude sings like an Angel, his passion could literally be seen/felt by all, he just has the perfect dose of it, people were crying while he sang. It was a good one in all. Then the person who invited me wouldn't let me hear word afterwards, kept saying it is the lord calling me back, how this is a sign, how I shouldn't ask questions and no matter how I think God's been falling me I should just believe, etc etc. So my people could it really be God calling me back? ![]() 3 Likes |

So, you are PH based Freecocoa ![]() ![]() House On The Rock, a church for loads of Uniport girls ![]() ![]() I remember when I was in Year 3, when I joined my room mate, and crew to the church.. Omo!! I felt outta place ![]() ![]() Having this 'deeper life' background, I was just lost ![]() ![]() ![]() @ your topic, I'm glad you enjoyed the service, though you laid emphasis on just the 'event aspect'.. What about the word? Did you flow with it? Did it leave any impact in you? 'In His presence, there is fullness of joy.' Keep attending.. You will be touched someday ![]() ![]() ![]() 6 Likes |

Lolz, just one day that you went to church after a long time, you are already doubting whether you can continue with Agnosticism. What about me that still do go to church most times? Anyway, you've tried sha, for a lady like you to have put up this long with such in this very religious part of the world. The next thread we'll see from you might be the one you've join the choir and you now sing to the Glory of God (which is not a bad thing by the way). Life can be that confusing for some people sometimes. Lmao. Allow me to laugh at you a lil jare. You said you've got strong will, right? Well, you'll need to exercise it here and now at this time in your life instead of allowing religious sentiment and the seeming tenderness and compassionate feelings you tend to derive by just simply having hope and faith in a sky daddy to console you in hard times of life. I guess you should know that better than i do. Ok bye. 6 Likes |

Maybe he is. I would advice you to hold out a bit more tho. That way he has to tempt you with something better than fine boys with angelic voices. Something like a free Range Rover Autobiography or a smart kind funny rich handsome atheist boyfriend, or replacing your state governor with you mid term. All the best. 2 Likes |

Re: Is God Calling Me Back? by Sunnystooth(m): 9:40am On Jun 29, 2015 |
freecocoa:Enjoying the rhythm, nodding head and watching others dance when music is being played, as opposed to actually wanting to sing and voice out some melodies with your 'sweet' voice. Hmmm, this your brand of a 'music person' must be really fascinating. Lolz, it's all good though. And yes, I really want to get on your nerve! ![]() |

freecocoa:Hahaha... All those Demons of Agnosticism must be really having fun time residing in you. Lolz. Well, the lyrics? Hmmm, Was the lyrics so much about God that your brain could'nt process it anymore cos of the contrasting belief you have in your head? 1 Like |
Re: Is God Calling Me Back? by freecocoa(f): 11:14am On Jun 29, 2015 |
Sunnystooth:It was all about him, praising him and talking about his mercies. Though when that guy from infinity sang his song about finding god's peace in the midst of the storm, it was indeed beautiful, his passion is infectious and I really liked the song/the guy but, I know there's nothing like the fairytale it is about. It was just really hard to pretend I believed what he was singing about, if he isn't such a good singer, I would have hissed and be restless like I used to be in church. ![]() |
Re: Is God Calling Me Back? by Sunnystooth(m): 12:54pm On Jun 29, 2015 |
freecocoa:Lmao... I can understand how restive one can get in church. Seriously, it's not easy to know what we now know as Agnostics and still just sit comfortable in Church. The blatant contrasting views can make a feeble and frail mind go insane. Anyway, better avoid going to church totally if you know you'll keep coming back here to tell us that 'it seems God is calling you back'...Lolz. Unlike us that are so used to church preaching and scripture remix that it does'nt perturb us even the slightest bit. ![]() 1 Like 1 Share |

freecocoa:I beg of you, do not say that you are done with religion(Christ). It is commendable that you do not accept dogma( a major problem in the church) but Christ is real and was sent by the true and loving God to reconcile us to him. For many years I did not believe in God and felt nothing but pity for those that did. I'm eternally grateful that I have experienced God's love and pray the same for you.

Lol. ![]() Emotions, emotions, emotions. Emotions are powerful. Music is one of the best ways to bring out emotions or reactions in people. Have you ever listened to a sad song, and you actually start to cry? I have. Have you ever listened to a love song and you feel like you're on cloud 9? I have. Surrendering to those emotions doesn't disturb what I know about god or religion; the truth; the facts. Compartmentalization! Gospel music still gives me chills till date. I surrender to the power of the music. It's beautiful, really. The harmony, the unison. It's all temporary, but beautiful. I know what I know. ![]() 1 Like |

I lurve that church! HOTR PH...home for all. I love Pastor Lanre...the Word n Swag. @freecocoa - were u always agnostic? If not, wat was the turning point? N I'm so sure God's calling u back, please heed His call. How do I know? I've wandered so far oftentimes, been unable to pray, avoided Church for years, been mad at God, done several things I'm ashamed of, wondered if He loved me et al but He's been consistent! Take care of ur beautiful self and please do not drift too far away, if u get my drift. 4 Likes 2 Shares |
