What I Learnt In Church Today by Nobody: 4:13pm On Nov 01, 2015
I haven't been in church in a long while and sincerely I am not keen on church lately because I have some doubt. Today I decided to go to winners (living faith) ota. There was free bus to church and I wasn't doing anything meaningful today so I set out.

I stood at my bus stop and joined a bus. We passed thru the bad aiyetoro road and our bus broke down. The back tire needed to be changed.

Everybody came down from the bus for the tire to be fixed except one pretty girl by the Window. I was mad and angry. What is wrong with all this girls I mused in anger. I wasn't a church person but this is stupid and senseless. I started nagging and complaining to her face but then everybody kept quiet. I told myself I will confront her when we come down. If everybody is afraid of her I wasn't. All this girls who think they are too fine.. nonsense.

When we got to church, I patiently waited for her to come down. What i saw shocked me. She was assisted down. She was paralyzed from from waist down. Oops, how did I miss that. God!!! I felt so terrible. I still feel terrible right now. I met her and apologized. Again and again I apologized but I still feel it wasn't enough.
Bishop oyedepo preached today but I didn't get much. I learnt a bigger life lesson; don't judge people

Its not your fault; you didn't notice it until she got down so don't blame yourself. God won't count it as sin...

It is not about God counting it as a sin or not!
It is about being considerate, being tolerant, showing mercy, giving a long rope, turning the other cheek, enduring persecution, being kind, making sacrifice. That is what love is all about.

Consider this:

"We don’t see things as they are; we see them as we are."

My boss, happy new month. I've been very much around. Your reply was very perfect. Sometimes in a bid to show we're courageous and won't tolerate nonsense, we become rash, inconsiderate and myopic. We must try to see things from other's point of view.

Sometimes, we are too quick to condemn others. Basically, we all have a knowledge of what's good and what's not. Therefore, it might really not be possible or easy to see someone in wrong and not judge the act of that person as wrong. However, we can and should learn to be slow in condemning people.

I read of a story with a passing a similar message.
A young woman saw her daughter holding two fresh apples and asked her to give her one of them to eat. The daughter quickly had a bite from both apples and gave her mum one of them. Her mum's countenance changed which revealed that she wasn't happy with what her daughter did. She then asked her daughter why she did and and the little girl said she tasted both to know which of the two apples was sweeter and gave her the one that was sweeter.

Another story here.

Not every healthy person you see is also healthy internally. Some people already got theiir death tickling, they're just looking for whom to implicate before they answer the call. Thats why i'll always advise people never to fight anyone. Just leave the scene and go. That small blow or slap could be his last and there you go, seeing yourself in police station, court cases, prison. God forbid!

While i was at igbobi sometimes ago.
A woman needed blood for her mother, the blood is needed urgently, that very night. She started calling the people on her contact to see if their blood group matches that of her mum. Luckily, one of her bosses had the same blood with her mom. The man quickly drove down to the hospital in a bid to donate.

Such a very handsome, healthy looking man.

Surprisingly, the blood in this man body cant even take him till the next day. Only God knows why.

We just saw that he called his family, an ambulance was arranged for him and they left they hospital. They're referred elsewhere.

Its when they're gone the woman narrated everything to us.

I was just wondering if the man had a misunderstanding with someone and he's pushed.

Ani ri ogun akoba oooooooooo!!

As they say, sometimes apology comes too late. I am not here to either judge or criticize you, but all you need is a time with God and He will direct your thoughts. Welcome to the Winners Family. From Glory to Glory shall be your portion this year.
