@JudahMaiye I politely ask my barber to switch to Christian music or allow me play from my phone, while I am being attended to and they graciously comply. My recent barber enjoys it especially when I play sermons while he is cutting. Sometimes all it takes, is one bold approach.
Child of God, have you noticed that seasons of discouragement never seem to get quieter? They only get louder!
Isa 41:10
Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.
Dear Believer,
God is more concerned about who youโre becoming than what youโre doing.
Your doing may get God's attention, but your becoming captures His heart.
2 Corinthians 3:18.
People may argue with our beliefs, but it's very hard to argue with genuine love.
Truth may start conversations, but love opens hearts.
Child of God, let your life preach both.
Some of the dumbest decisions you'll ever make in life won't be because you lacked intelligence, they'll be because you lacked the right people. Sometimes, all it takes is one honest voice to say, "Don't do it.
@MasterMaliq
The word of God clearly tells us to pray in the name of Jesus.
Jn 14:14
If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.
Jn 16:23
โAnd in that day you will ask Me nothing. Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you.
Christians always end their prayers with "In Jesus name" like it's mandatory...
But can't you just pray in the name of God?
If you skip Jesus and say "in the name of God" only... will your prayer STILL be answered??
Or is Jesus the real gatekeeper?
@TheAyoAkinyemi Happy Birthday and Happy Anniversary to you Sir. Wishing you the very best of the year and God's blessings upon your home. I celebrate you Sir
@ThePChris Again, make reference to teachings in weekly activities and make them see reasons why they are really missing. This will change the narrative.
Blessings!
@ThePChris I pastor a growing local assembly here in Akure, one of the ways to increase is to talk about it, sometimes do a small talk show about it on Sunday, dramatize it, and you can also persuade your leaders to make it a point of duty to show up always, I believe this will help. Peace
