Just saying it as it is

I think it is really annoying what is happening in our society these days.It is totally different from what obtained in our parents days.Ideals were followed to the letter.It was a sincere practise.Well,I am talking about church and its proliferation in Nigeria.Have you ever wondered like me why there are so many churches in Nigeria and yet so much evil also.In fact I strongly believe that Nigerians are the most religious people in the world.You will hardly hear hear a Nigerian talking without mentioning God.Our corrupt politicians get away with all their atrocities because we believe God will judge them for us and they more than anyone else sing open praises to God.
The churches which are meant to be the house of God are now donation houses where only the donors are recognized members.You either donate or you remain a wayfarer,jumping from church to church seeking for the acceptance which every church should generally afford without a price tag just as Christ freely gave his life for us who are sinners.You could count hundred churches in one street in Nigeria.They say we can't all worship together because God gives each church different vision and mandate.Well,I agree,after all,the bible talks about the church in Corinth and Laodecia and many more and their different approach to serving God,however we never read that they made money a pillar of their worship.In fact they shared all that they had, together in love.

I know there are churches that preach 'seek ye first the kingdom of God and every other thing shall be added unto you' and really mean it by practicing it.It is really sad and every time I think of the polity called Nigeria I weep.I see no reason why the church shouldn't have made a huge impact in this dear nation.We have respected men of God all over ,yet...,most of us claim to be born again Christians,yet....truly saddening.One thing I know anyway is that if we truly practice the Christianity Jesus preached,the change we have all been pravying for would come.It starts from no other person but you and me and the time is definitely now...

where have Amanda been?

Wish I could begin to tell all the tales just on this page as concisely as possible.It will be an uphill task both for me and you too dear reader.However,October was a very busy month for me.Imagine,not having time to pen down anything for you to read?It was just too muddled up.Started with twin bombings in Abuja where I reside and then the loss of a very dear aunt.It was just too emotional for me but you can bet I am back on this blog for good.Lets keep keeping on and most importantly stay saluting the creator and giver of life.Life is a treasure no man should be quick to part with!

Reasons for sharing

Knowledge,to me is closely linked to our identity.sharing is generally a willful method of disemminating useful information to other people.By sharing, we build realationships so that what we share is received and treated with respect.Actually,knowledge sharing and relationships are interlinked.It is therefore,imperative that we share love which is the bedrock of any lasting relationship. Why am I sharing anyway? I know you are just wondering why you should bother about sharing anyway,you probably feel you are not loved enough or not loved at all.mhnnn...the question is how much love do you give,how much love can you afford to share? Well,you know what they say,habits die hard...I simply love to share and again I share out of a sense of responsibility for my future...."what you sow is what you reap!".I feel there is a huge gap that needs us to fill it,simply by sharing love. This love could be for that husband who isn't living up to responsibility,that wife who wouldn...

How can we share love in a world void of love?

As each day passes,I see that so many people do not understand what sharing love is all about.Just last night,I saw a man,not a boy.I mean a full fledged man beating up a lady just by the roadside as if she were some common thief.On inquiry,I discovered she was his girlfriend.Did I hear you say,what?!!!.mhnnn...the feeling is mutual,but come to think of it,he may have had a reason which he felt was good enough to beat her up.Someone may say no reason is good enough...chapter closed. I remember sharing with you earlier that every person has a reason for every action he/she takes,wether good or bad.If he had beat her to death,he will still have a reason for his action and he would engage the services of a lawyer who will readily defend him in the court of law.That's the kind of world we live in...simply void of love. You know,on television this morning,I just kept hearing the news on rape.In case you are thinking the victim may have caused it for herself,well sorry to diasppoint ...
