Staying Connected

How do we improve our worship services to get the best that God has for us? Some of us, during services, get to battle with boredom and hazes of dozes , you only get to realize how far you have dozed when the Bible falls off your hands and everyone on the row gather quizzical stares at you…
Is it the fault of our pastors or Church leaders that we do not enjoy worship services? How do we improve our worship services?
Are you aware that in the garden of Eden, there were no pastors, yet there was worship? There were no Praise and Worship leaders, no skillful musicians, yet Adam and Eve had nic time with God (until…)? So it simply dawns on us that Worship is beyond what someone else does to you, it’s about what you do to yourself…
Permit me to say, some of us get so irresponsible in churches today that we expect our pastors to tow us into the Presence of God that we’ve never been to ourselves. All through the week, we have been busy with activities, no time before God’s throne and yet we get to Church on Sundays and start blaming that chorister for not “singing well”, or that organist for not being” extemporaneous enough” or the pastor for not being “witty enough”… and we use those as our excuse for the boredom we feel in church. It’s no pastor’s responsibility to get you into God’s presence if you’re so desperate to get there.
You know what, I think we need to change a wrong view we have about all this. God’s Presence is not tied to the Church, IT’S IN YOU!!! Therefore, you can be in the toilet and be in God’s Presence, and yet you can be in the Church and be lost.That’s why our Churches are not lively. And by ”lively” I do not mean” jamboree-ous” rather I mean “Carrying the weight of God’s fullness that can never get you bored”.
Many Christians go to Church in order to get in God’s presence. Oh how glorious and marvellous our Church services will be if we all will go to Church, carrying God’s Presence in us!!! We would not need to be dragged and whined to connect. Anything would connect us, even the drop of a pin.

I welcome you to this blog. Please do me a favour, let me know what you think of each post by leaving a comment. Thank you.

I took quite a worrisome while to figure out what the boy meant by ‘Tie and dye’. He said the man ‘did tie and dye’ at a school close to theirs and that it scared off the pupils in that school. I first thought what he meant was that the man used juju, or that he made tie and dye clothes. But how could that scare off students for G’s sake? Yet I hid my ignorance. I wasn’t gonna let some prepostrous Igbo students laugh me to shame simply for not getting it. So I played along. I just kept on walking with them. But men! My mind kept racing, for like five minutes, trying to figure out what he meant by Tie and dye. Until after a while in the conversation, when one of the boys, who understood immediately the guy said it, said that the man was later “pulled off in an old SUV van”. Then I understood that it wasn’t Tie and Dye that he meant, but Tie and Die, and with that he simply meant that the man committed suicide. And I just stood there, with mixed feelings, hating myself for taking so long to figure out, yet happy I didn’t show my ignorance. But if I had shown it, I would have saved a lot of time… But yet those students are naughty. Plus it’s not my fault. It was their starkly Igbotic accent that muffled up their words beyond recognition… # LifeInAbia…

Forgive me, please, for replying quite late. I’m very sorry. You said that Johnny left you, and remember I told you to leave an evidence, and you dropped a video. Well, here are my observations: Firstly, Johnny is a man, so if he left u to follow Cynthia, I hope you know that Cynthia has to be more beautiful than you. Agreed? Or if she isn’t, it’s possible that Cynthia does some things better than you, as you readily admitted in that video. So it might not have been Johnny’s fault after all. And before you say “You’re a man. I knew you’ll support him. You men are just the same.”, I’ll like you to consider the video very well. Your make-up is heavier and probably costlier than Cynthia’s, and those of the Uche and Nene. Your hairstyle looks more expensive than Their’s. So tell me how a twenty-first Century man would go for you, the Exit-door of money… Besides, you see, Johnny is probably an economist who understands the Law of Diminishing Returns, and when the diminishing product costs more maintenance capital than a fresh product of its kind that can produce more, you yourself know what to do. Now I do not agree with Johnny in the area of dating many girls and promising some marriage, but you know the law of demand now. And since other products do not cost as much as yours, you must understand Johnny from that angle. So, dear Yemi, stop looking for Johnny. Johnny has moved on. I’ll just advice you to bring down the price, maybe some other guy might consider you. If not dear, have you been to OYO before? # ReplyingYemiAlade
