Nigeria: The Church is my Place of Inspiration

THE CHURCH

Just like the popular saying “deep calleth unto deep” I found somewhere so deep in teaching, so peaceful, where I can actually get inspired with no regrets.

The Church is the place where i go to receive instruction and information from the Lord.
I never want to leave home with the intention of promoting my own ideas or myself, so, I found it beneficial for me to come humble and willing to be educated concerning the righteousness of God.

The Lord has a message for the entire human family and he speaks to me and send me a message through the Church. So if I go to church with a premeditated mind or with unbelief, I will miss the important news delivered from heaven.

The word of God says what it says, and it does not change….

We are now in the 21st century and much has changed over the years. The world and the ways of mankind have become modernized in many facets of life and some think that the word of God also should be “updated” to fit the trend of the world today.

If you be in the church throughout a day, you’ll experience peace like no other and things of the deep will be revealed unto you.

Staying in church has helped me come to reckon with the fact that God loves to help us achieve our dreams, I got to know that he has a better, and a bigger dream for us than we could imagine.
How sweet the love of God is.

If I had been at any other place, I wouldn’t have been able to be inspired the way I am.

I was inspired especially with the words from Isaiah 60 vs 20-22 “thy sun shall no longer go down, neither shall thy moon withdraw itself; for God shall be thine everlasting light and the days of thy mourning shall be ended. Thy people also shall be all righteous: they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified. A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the Lord will hasten it in my time.”

What a word of greatness. It helped me in setting my goals for the year and I made sure those goals where within the ambits of His desire. Being in the presence of God has enabled me to live in God’s dream for my life and its the best place to be. Yes it is!!!

Whenever I’m in the house of God, I get new ideas, I’m moved to add a meaning to someone’s life, I’m inspired to make others feel loved and valued and that’s exactly the hallmark of discipleship.

If I were to be in a library, or the club or at home, or probably spend the day with circle of friends, idle-talking, I’ll never know what God has in store for me; I’ll never know how the church could reveal so much to me after spending so much time on existence.

How can I regret a place which has taught me so much than anticipated? Is it possible to regret staying in an atmosphere of inspiration?

Listening to acts and tales of the disciples who gave everything they had to the poor make me frazzled with emotions and inspiration.
My bible teacher says: we have the ability to words of faith which causes miracles to happen. When I’m in church, I have the freedom to associate with people of like minds and we share so much about the word been taught.

Quietness have a way of strengthing our character and I get it when am in church. When I was in church studying, I’m always taught the basics of praise and worship and as my teacher says “you may be faced with a difficult situation, for which you’ve prayed and confessed and nothing seems to happen, don’t give up, its time you offered to God the unusual praise. Sing in praise and thanksgiving and as you do, God will move on your behalf and you’ll have a great miracle” I never believed till I tried it out. I was divinely enriched and showed the secret to success and the basics of praises.

I’m inspired to do great things, I’m inspired to lead people to Christ through my writings and bring to their understanding that truly, the best place to get an inspiration is in the house and in the presence of God. Quote me ” not just any kind of inspiration will you get here, you’ll get the right and best inspiration that will add value and give meaning to your life.

The church is and will always remain my place of inspiration.
Check it out someday.
