Way On Not To Get Distracted In Church

-





No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.Luke 10:38-42 

We all live in a hustle and bustle lifestyle where we are constantly worrying about our bills, what's for dinner tonight? Or our anxieties that's why it's hard to stay focus in church, I know I'm not the only one who does this, one minute I could be daydreaming about scoring a goal for Nigeria in the next World Cup, pathetic right, lol one can only dream, right? Or I'm thinking about if there's enough food to live on in my house, all these distractions can make you miss the sermon or forget the message, another tactic Satan uses to trap believers, here are some ways to keep focused in church. 

Being Organized

Too many times in church we distract ourselves by fidgeting and looking for our Bibles, that's in our bags that has our whole life in them, so bring your Bible out before the service starts or get with the times and use the Bible app on your phone, making sure your phone is on silent, notifications are off and your device is on aero plane mode. (Please make sure all devices are switched off or on silent that's another tip!!!!!!)

Not Looking Around 

I don't know what it is but we as humans love to look around, this is another distraction, we're busy looking at the ushers moving around, whose kid is crying (parents please unless your child is a newborn send your kids to Sunday School the church invest so much in Sunday School so kids can learn, utilize these resources) and whose come in late, when we are in church we should always be in spirit so keep your eyes on the pastor when he's preaching, eyes are closed when praying and fix your eyes in one place so you're not distracted!

Do Not Arrive Late 

The biggest distraction in church, is coming late, you've missed chunks of the meeting, you're looking for a seat that now you got parts of the congregation looking at you and you're distracting them too, plan your journey, wake up on time and plan your outfit the day before!!!!!!!! Yes ladies' that was specifically aimed at you lol!!!!!! Sometimes things happen but sometimes a lot of us are purposely late and you know when we are always late to church we show no reverence and give a defiled offering to God we wouldn't be fashionably late to work or dinner with the Queen so why do it for God? Yes things happen like traffic, your devices where your alarm is on is malfunctioning or the kids are playing up, which is understandable but continualness, purposely coming late is not on!

There are so many things in life that distract us that can potentially be stumbling blocks, we go to church to learn the word of God and worship so let's not, let anything get in the way of that!!!!! Hope these tips helped.

Church Hurt

Church Hurt   For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11 For week’s I didn’t know how to start this blog, as many pushed me to do this blog, because church hurt is a sensitive subject to talk about where many have given up, many are bitter and many like me, not anymore gave up on the church and questioned the Christian community (DISCLAIMER - THIS IS NOT TO EXPOSE ANYONE WHO I FELT ATTACKED BY AS NAMES/ORGANISATIONS WON’T BE MENTIONED THIS IS TO HELP NOT PUT DOWN OR CRITICIZE). So let’s get down to the nitty gritty. I got over my church hurt 5 years ago, and I compare church hurt to one of Killmonger (Yh I’m using a Black Panther analogy, don’t cry, don’t beg about spoilers you’ve had more than a month to watch it!!!! Lool) so back to my point Killmonger is those who’ve gone through church hurt, Killmonger who is Black Panther’s long lost cousin and arch nemesis

Spiritual Priorities

If you ask me "what's the main principle of being a Christian?" I would tell you it's to put God and the things of God FIRST!!!!!!! But this is the thing that I don't see much of Christians in this era, most of us don't value our spiritual priorities or sadly don't have any. What do I mean by spiritual priorities? It's how we prioritize the things of God and how we serve God in our day to day lives. This is what saddens me, slowly and slowly many Christians put God and their faith as the last thing on their list of priorities. There's always an excuse why we didn't go to church, why we didn't pray, why we don't seek or fast and so on and so on, because we put our lives, the things of this world and our busy schedules before God. Okay it doesn't help that we live in the era of technology and demanding work and commitment schedules in life but surely if we serve a great God surely we can make time for him in a 24 hour day???

The Spirit Of Disobedience

"But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people." 2 Timothy 3:1-7   If you asked what is the reason or the biggest sin that takes Christians, people away from God? I would say justification of living in sin and when you're living in sin on PURPOSE you are disobeying God. In the word it says we shouldn't do A to Z but in in today times where even many Christian authorities disobey the ways of God. This is why there is many sorry to say many lost, weak Christians in the world. Okay we all have different spiritual journeys we all take time and move in differe
