My Experience With The Gospel-Choir Project 2016

The gospel choir project 2016 is a gospel project of a group of German men and women around Grünstadt and it environs. The Gospel choir project was found in 2011 and it has since grown in membership over the years, providing top-quality gospel music, concerts, Festival, confirmation etc.

The Gospel Choir Project 2016, performed last sunday at the Martin Church, in Grünstadt; to celebrate the Pentecost Sunday. At the opening of the service, the choir lined up from the entrance of the church to the altar where everyone took the opening song, "Bless The Lord". Bless the Lord is one of my favorite songs that reflects the goodness, mercy, and power of God.

One of the things that are unique about the group is the harmony of the different vocal and the orderliness. Based on the quality of training with the help of the choirmaster 'Volker Güterman' and talent and the love for gospel genre the group performance at various events is unforgettable.

The Gospel Choir Project have been since 2011, one of the big events is usually the performance on the Pentecost Saturday and Sunday since Pentecost is celebrated on two days, Pentecost Monday is usually an official holiday in Germany.

However, the Pentecost is a Christian holiday, which is celebrated on the 50th of the Easter season that is 49 days after Easter Sunday. While in Africa (Nigeria) we often celebrate the Easter season and it always national holiday but we don't celebrate the Pentecost day. I get to know and hear about the Pentecost for the first time in Germany and yet I'm Christian. I guess to find out a lot of Christian holidays in Germany which is for me very interesting. Also, in some regions of the Germany, there are special Pentecost customs such as; the planting of the Pentecost tree, the Pentecost wreath, pentecost OX, but I think the gospel choir should be held in high regard; as it brings joy to the soul of the singers and the listening.

My experience and observation of the last performance; firstly, I would like to talk about the uniform of the choir, everyone wore black trousers with colourful blouse and i was the only one wearing a dress with a church hat. And i asked one of the choir hope I'm not looking odd because by us in Africa (Nigeria) we often wear a dress and hat or head gear to match to church. And she said yes, 'i'm right' most people in other parts of the world dress different way to church, some might even allow to wear a jean to the church. And secondly, the gospel choir project made me appreciate my love for singing the gospel in Germany because on a normal Sunday the German Evangelical Church (Martin Church) way of worship and service is quite different from the Nigerian Pentecostal churches. Their service is been carried out with all manner of quietness. Unlike the Nigerian Pentecostal church where the people sing, clap their hands and make a joyful noise to God. (Africa church are louder).

After the sermon from the priest, the church had holy communion around 10:50 am. I notice in the German church (Martin Church) they often take holy communion at special events while in Nigerian Pentecostal Church holy communion is been taken as part of the church ritual on a regular basis. The holy communion lasted for 25 minutes (10:50-11:35 am) and the gospel choir continued with singing.

How beautiful it is to sing the gospel genre, music breath life into the soul of a man; no wonder, singing enhance the lungs to be healthy and be in a good condition. These german men and women  received an unprecedented ovation, they are certainly doing well, by bringing the gospel genre into every events, it does light and brighten the occasion.

After the pastor has blessed everyone; the gospel choir ended the service with the Traditional Gospel Medley. 

"I like more the Traditional Gospel Medley"- Gert Uwe

The service of songs ended at 12: noon and everyone left rejoicing. What a happy way to celebrate the Pentecost Sunday every year with the gospel choir project! Looking forward to the rest of the concert this year, and year to come by God's grace.

List of song: Bless the Lord, walk together children, Komm, Heiliger Geist, power of your love, Take me as I am, We give thanks, Der Herr segne dich and lastly Traditional gospel medley.

Strange Things Has Entered The Church

One of the things that makes God different from man, is that, "with God all things are possible". God is a slient judge. He knows us more than we know ourselves, He watches over us and He sees in our innermost heart and all the things we are doing in life. The almighty God created us in His own image; He sees our beginning, He knows our end. Since He is our Creator, He has the ability to see
all the hinden things we do on earth. There is no secrecy in His presence because He sees all and He certainly knows all. Despite the fact that God is watching man and He is slient does not mean we continue in our sinful nature because time is coming when the slient Judge shall come to judge the world.

The truth is that, our leaders in the religions sector are no longer saying the truth as they supposed to do; all because they want to get applause from man, our religion system is now been mixed  up with politics. As we all know, religion is one's belief regarding the Creator of man and the Universe. And politics is the duty of man and its society; both invovled the activities of man to be carried out. Religions leader can be involve in politics when there is a necessity; the bond of CAN ( Christian Association of Nigeria) is no more firm as it ought to be. Everyone is just after the politicians for their selfish interest. The churches are now preaching against themselves. I am not surprise seeing what is now happening in the African Pentecostal Churches in Germany. Many leaders have no time to monitor the affairs of their branches or parishes in abroad because they are too busy with politics
They set up churches just to prove they have the highest members or followers in the world, forgetting that one day they will stand before the silent judge of the universe to give account of their work.

Why is there so much confusion in the church? (Case Study);The African (Nigeria/Ghana) pentecostal churches in Germany have been fighting spiritually and physically. I got several calls on daily basis from different African Pentecostal Churches members who are  having one issues or the other with the way things are been done today in the church. And it has been like that for so long. Many who came to the church healthy, claimed to be suffering from some kind of spiritual attacks from the church. Strange things have entered the church of God; Emergency prophets have emerged across the globe. The Altar of God is now the coven of voodoo with talisman and charms. They use members glory to empower themselves spiritually. Some with dangerous occultic weapons. Even those who entered their churches to overcome their battles; have gotten their battles multiplied for them.

Recently i got a report from a source, from one of the African Pentecostal Church in Germany where a faithful member of the church is now suffering from a spiritual attacks. The victim claimed she was attacked by some spiritual forces during one of her intercessory prayer for the church. She also, claimed that her destiny has been  exchanged spiritually in place of the church' glory and fame to attract more members to their church. Some members of the church also testified

on how the sister has been commited and faithful to the work of God in cash and service to the 

church. According to a source from the church, she was one of the people that paid her tithes in 

thousands of Euro before she got the attack. 

The illness or attack isn't the problem but what was the reaction of the church after her attack? Since her sickness is seasonal, whenever she has the problem they bring her to the hospital and when she gets well, she go home and continue with her normal life. Looking at her, she look very well and healthy. Since her problem is considered to be spiritual; even though they see it as a spiritual attack
based on her stories.  Sometimes her crisis could start right inside the church and the people will be afraid to come near her.  In some cases the crisis will start from anger based on certain things that happened in the church and she will speaks in aggressive manner; even though she has a point they just ignored her or try humiliating or talking down to her just because of her condition; she not of any value or relevant to the church anymore. At one time she try to raise a question like "you can't time
the holy spirit" and she was asked to leave the meeting by the wife of the assistance pastor of  her church. That she is no more part of them. Can you see the church?

Another thing that bothers me about the African Pentecostal Church in Germany is the abuse of speaking in tongues. I have, had times when i am having a discussion with people, on a normal platform; suddenly i begin to hear "macsadeboeshia" another time i hear "maricocococlalajaku",and i have been puzzled, not knowing when speaking in tongues comes into carnal matter or things of the flesh. Some Pastors too are not excluded, hmmm strange things are happening in the Christendom. 

If Jesus arrives would He meet faith on earth? We must refrain from hypocrisy, we can not deceive God with eye-service. We manage to comply with denominational doctrines and neglecting God's ordinances. A lot of christians today are pretenders with corrupt hearts; sin has hindered the prayers of many believers, we can not continue in sin,"that grace may abound?" for the wages of sin is death. Most christians have died spiritually, some ministry don't even have the presence of the Holy Spirit in
their churches anymore but yet they are leading their congregation blindly. For without the Holy 

Spirit you can do nothing. You can not betray God successfully, you will only deceive yourself to death. May God have mercy on the church and may He never leave or ignore His church. 

Another Story that happened in the church in Germany; was the case of two member from the church choir having misunderstanding because they were jealous over their Pastor. One of them said that she was the first to start cooking and doing other house chores for the Pastor since his wife and family resides in Nigeria. Even though there is nothing wrong in helping and taking care of the ministers of 

God. Why should two choirs quarreled over the Pastor and that leads to the division of that particlar 

church. A church that used to be a place of celebration of love has suddenly turned to a dry ground with lasting memories of bitter experience for the faithful members of the church. The person who coursed this commotion in the church was able to pulled out some key members from the church to start their own ministry. Strange things are now happening in the church of God. Everyone is now a 

Pastor; some are sent by God, others are sent by their stomach and another are called by self righteousness. 

We are in the end time: the scriptures stated clearly things to look out for at the end time. Let all Ministers of God go and examine themselves; what is the answer to this question? Since the truth of word of salvation, has become an archaic sermon, what does the Lord stand to gain? When the names of the righteous are called and yours is missing; hypocritic, and unfaithful believers, backbiting and backstabbling in church. Negative prayer  and fasting against your neigbours, remember  He is the Creator of all, and He is more than wisdom. And you shall meet him 

at the point of no Return. Get ready Jesus is coming back again soon. And lack of repentance attracts a painful judgement.

Repent today and ask for mercy. Let us surrender and honour God so that we can reign with Christ. Our primary duty is to seek God's kingdom first and all other thing shall be added unto us. He is coming back soon. Get ready!

Before You Stress Yourself Take Care Of Your Brain

The brain is one of the essential organ that serves the center of the nervous system in all human and animals. The brain helps the human to perfom their daily activites, everything man does starts from thinking either good or bad, and every thoughts or activity start from the brain. 
The brain is one of the most important organ of the body because if the brain is damage it can affect the overall being of you. You can live without some organ or some part of the body but you can't live without the brain. 

Recently, i came across people who has various brain problem and story of people who died as a result of accumulated blood in the brain cell, which is coursed by stress. To some of you, you might not know about the the danger of stress until you see people who are suffering from it or perphas people who have lost their lives due to emotional and work stress. 

The Following Might Help You To Manage Your Stress And Maintain a Healthy Brain;

Avoid Any Kind of Stress: stress is enemy to the brain and the body. I know in today world of hustling for one reason or the other, it is not easy to do away with stress but then they are some 
stress you can actually do away with. Reduce your work stress, know thyself find out how your 
work and know the capacity you can go. Don't just overcome yourself out because you what to make a living but rather choose a lifestyle that enable you to work in a stress free environment. 

Avoid Negative Enegy: another thing you need to do away with is people with negative energy, if you come across people who makes you feel bad about yourself run away from them or give a breathing space. Keeping or tolerating negative people or any unpleasant situations could be dangerous and harmful to your general overwell being and even the brain. You are responsible for anything that happen to you in life, when it come to stress or even health in general. People
don't just fall ill or sick, there is always a reason either, through your lifestyle or what you allow in your life. Don't tolerante wicked or bad people in your life for the sake of over righteousness and kill yourself for nothing. They are not your enemies either, you just have to know your 
circle of friends. God has given us the priviledge of choice, and you are likely to become like 
the people you hang out with, so choose wisely. I have encountered some negative people in 
my life since i relocated to Germany and each time i try to remember the memories it turns me crazy. It is easy for us to forget an appointment and some happy moment but we often remember every single time and minutes that someone has done us wrong. Avoiding such people and praying for them in your closet will do you more good. 

Be a Thinker: thinking could mean different things to different people but here i will be talking on 'positive thinking'. I remember when i was Teen I had a book, theme: postive thinking and, i always want to open the book to read because i knew i will get a message that will keep me going for the day. That really helped me, as Teens who did'nt enjoy motherhood, i lost my 
mummy at a very tender age but thinking positively helped me to push forward in life. Even when I lost my father, i still find way to stay positive and always happy. I think my postive
energy connected me to a lot of great people who were curious to know my source of joy. 
I remember  one of my friend once said to me, i would like to be an 'orphan like you' you seems to be having the best of life. Someone once asked me what is my source of inspiration and i said 'thinking'. I hope the fellow got the message, because thinking positively helps you to connect to the universe. It is only those who think deep that can find solution to some of their problems which no one has answer to. One of the things i learned from seeking counsel from other people; is that no one has a definite solution or answer to another person's problem in this world. You can only share your thoughts and worries with other people, just to ease you from the tension in that moment. I also, realised that telling people some of my challenges in life was one the biggest mistakes i made because i did't get any advice or solution to my problem from 
any of my counsellor.  But when i started thinking positively, i got connected to the right people and i was able to move on with my life. 

Be Focus on What You Can Change: when you focus your mind on things you can achieve or change it helps you to believe in yourself and when you believe in yourself you will authomatically love yourself unconditionally. It is only when you are happy with your life, that you can take good care of yourself because enjoying life positively is the key to overcome any form of stress because nothing bothered you so much. By this way you live a life of contenment and happiness come from being contented in life. Like the Germans will say "ich bin zufrieden" meaning "i am contented". I live a life of contentment and i'm operating in a life of aboundance. 
  
Sleep: the recommended hours for a sound sleep is 8 hours per night or day. Basically, having a sound sleep lasting 8 hours does help in stimulating brain growth. One of the easiest way of solving a problem is by sleeping over it. For example, my husband and I, whenever, we are face with any problem that will don't have a ready solution for, my husband will say to me 'it is better will sleep over it'. And that really help us in dealing with some challenges. So sometimes i do sleep over my problem, i actually learn that from my husband. Sleeping is a good medicine for any kind of worries. Also sleep helps to activate the mind and the physical body. Having a sound sleep could help you to overcome or minimize some serious health issue. I sleep well, when is time to retire to bed. I think it is better to keep a regular bedtime routine for a sound sleep. 
  
Meditate on The Word Of God: you can meditate on the word of God by reading the bible and singing in hymns and psalms. Also, by reading inspirational messages, books and skills learning. Meditate on the area of your life, you feel you need change and what you need to do 
to help achieve the change that you desires most. Meditation is powerful tool for the brain. Don't underestimate the power of meditation when it is in line with God. 

Stay Connect With Positive People: get support from the positive people around you. Talk to people that you trust about your problems. Personally, when i have a problem that is disturbing me too often, i call friends or family that i trust and i share my thoughts and problem with them. Even though they do not have a ready solution, it ease me up. According to a report "sharing our problems with our loved ones releases endorphins and it is one of the best antidotes against 
stress". 

Avoid getting bored: boredom is not good for the brain. As it block the brain from flowing well. The best way to avoid boredom is to be adventourous. Do something that catches your breath. Go out, make new friends, learn new skills, travel more to see new places and to learn new culture. Don't just sit in your comfort zone get out and get some fresh air and feel the gentle breezy. 

Giving: practice the act of giving. Be a blessing to other, we always have our spiritual blessings from God when give. I am so thankful each time i can give back to the society. Whenever i give out i feel happy and blessed. Nothing is too small to give, and you can give in various ways; you can give by volunteer yourself. Volunteering connects you to other people and in helping others you also gain unforgetable experiences that will be useful in life. Volunteering with Tafel makes me happy , because it is a service for humanity; you can give your time, money and service (Grünstadter Tafel e.V). Be helpful to one another, care for the poor, the needy, orphans, widows. You can also give by supporting a local cause; donating clothes or money to charity. E.g red cross or orphanage home. Off course i know a lot of people are doing this but we should not stop or be weary in doing good. I feel so great when i can show a little kindness to others.

 Eating good: check your diet. Eat a well balanced diet. Like food is important for the brain. I remember when one of my driver at work; a man over 70 years of age who  was born with a heart failure, he once told me, that i should be eating very well". He also emphasised on the type of food; Fish, Turkey, Chicken, Beans, Fruits, and Vegetables are good for the brain and overall wellness. Whenever, we meet at work, the first thing the old man will ask me after (guten tag) good day'!  is have you eaten? And he will continue by telling me what he has 
eaten . So I learned from him (Mr Holst) that food is good for the brain. I agreed with him because i don't patronize McDonald's restaurant (fast food). I don't eat too much processed food, i eat organic food; i eat a lot of vegetables, fish, turkey, chicken, and few red meat. 

However, water: water is a must for a life. Avoid Alcohol and juice, control your blood sugar. Drink more of water. Drink water first thing in the morning, drink water after exercise and before bed time. I start my day with water; i drink warm water in the morning and i eat fruits first thing in the morning before my main breakfast. Find out what is best for you and keep to your routine and most importantly, pay attention to your body language. 

I will advice everyone take care of their brain before stressing themselves because good health is more than living and dreaming, by extension a good health is a good life, and being thankful to God who made it possible. God place man on earth to take care of it, including himself. So don't neglect your health by being over spiritual. Go for your medical checkups, if your faith hasn't grown to the level of supernatural health.

Our Marriage Has No Peace"- Titilayo Adams

The relationship stories I get on a daily basis is becoming the huge part of my life; as I continue to pounder if most of the stories, are really happening... But off course i have a reliable source and is of no doubt, that this ugly situations are really turning the marriage institute, to a bitter experience. 
God is love and God ordained marriage to be a paradise on earth for couples. Marriage is a beautiful thing if we allow God to come in and rule our life and home.

Tony and Titilayo, got married on the 5th of April, 2010. And they have both cried out, that their marriage has been on fire since after their honeymoon in Paris. The first night they spent in their home after they returned from their honeymoon resulted in an argument the next morning. The quarrel that lead to them destroying their wedding album, and a lot of their properties. Whenever they had a misunderstanding Titilayo will move her things back to her parents' home and stay with them pending when her husband comes to apologize to her.

Despite the fact, that Tony and Titilayo have  been married for over five years, they still quarrel for reasons even they cant explain. Their constant arguments and quarrels will make Titilayo sleep on the Sofa whenever she couldnt go to her family house, Moreso when it is in the middle of the night. Titilayo had miscarriages on two occasion Based on the Consistent quareles. 
Titilayo loves her husband and she just wants to be with him no matter what happens.
Both parents who have been interceding on behalf of their children, they really wanted to know why the marriage had no peace, perhaps they are not meant to be together. So they decided to invite the couple to find out the reason for their constant quarrel, which has also caused Titilayo to loose two pregnancies.

They asked, why they quarreled and it resulted in them calling themselves names and destroying their properties as well. And why they burned their picture album etc. All these has been happening for over 5 years and they continued to come back to themselves. Why can't they fight for divorce to end their marriage, if they feel they are not compatible as husband and wife?  All these were the suggestive questions by both parents, since they felt maybe, the couple did  not really love themselves.

Titilayo started to cry as she explained in her own words "I love you T-boy, and you know it, but I can't understand why I have to keep seeing you as a monster who is always  threatening to kill me in my dreams and that really scares the living day light out of me whenever we are together".

Then Tony in his sober reflection said "I don't think this is only your problem, it's our problem together because since we moved to this house after our honeymoon i have been dreaming that you are having an affair with Mr Mario our Landlord's son"...

Obviously, both of them have been having strange or bad dreams that almost tore their home apart. After  both couples have explained their problems to their parents; in the course of the family meeting. It was clear, that the couple needed  divine intervention since their problem seems to be associated with some spiritual elements (dream).

Despite their challenges, the couple really wanted their marriage to work out. They both love each other, but they did not know what to do. Now they have started undergoing some counseling and praying sessions, they have also asked their parents and well wishers to join them  pray.

Finally, there are no perfect marriages or home anywhere in the world. There will always be ups and downs in marriages,  until we learn to see each other as a person and to love each other more. We shouldn't forget the fact that we are  from different backgrounds and we had different up bringing or the fact that we are from different races. We just need to tolerate and trust each other. Above all, we should pray fervently.

"And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quitetness and assurance for ever"- Isaiah 32:17

Why Do Nigerian Hustle So Much

What you need to know about Nigerian hustle life. The reason many Nigerian strives to earn a living might be breathtaking, critical and very touching story. It is not possible to live in a country like Nigeria without hustling. 

Lagos is one of the main center of industrial and the city of hustle; from the giant investors to the street hawkers and the oil entrepreneurs. In Lagos (Nigeria), everyone is busy doing whatever it takes to make a living in order to provide for their family or to be rank among the elite of the Society. 

Most family in Nigeria have their immidiate and extended family they have to take care of. From having 3-6 children they have to feed, clothed and pay school fees and taking care of their aged parents who do not have a good retirement insurance policy. 

During the course of growing up in Nigeria, I got to know that life is not made of bed of roses but on a platform of hard work and determination. Everyone in Nigeria start to hustle at the early stage of their life depending on the status quo of the family. 
For instance, those whose parents are wealthy might not have to real hustle. The people that are real hustler in Nigeria are the middle class and the poor people. The middle class hustle to keep their money or income in a stable condition and to acquire more wealth for their children to have a better future.

While the very poor people might start to hustle at early age; from hawking on the streets while their mate are learning in school. One of the things you will find in (Africa) Nigeria that is not possible in (Europe) Germany for instance, is Kids from (10-15) years hawkering sachet/bottled water, fruits, and snacks in traffic on the highways and Federal motor road. 

Some of them hustle till they get to school and the hustle still continue even after their studies and choosen career. It is not a surprise, that Nigerians are the most husltler people in the world; from music/movie to medicine, clearing and forwarding, importing of used and brand new goods from foriegn countries. The main port for the importers is in Apapa port authority Lagos. Where thousands of Nigeria youths go on daily basis to hutsle. The music and movie industry are moving well in Nigeria and most of the youth who have got talent for that are certainly doing well no doubt. Most of the avarage family want their children to study medicine because they believe the doctors are the richest in the world. They are not thinking of the first obligation 

of the doctor as to save life. 

I spent my 27 years in the world in Lagos. I was born and raised in Lagos and the memory of the hustle life of the people of Nigeria (my country) stayed with me. Even though I will live 60 years outside Nigeria I can still write and talk about the country; Culture, Lifestyle, Hustle, Corruption and Bad Governance, because i am a Nigerian, I have the blood of Nigeria, I still eats the food of Nigeria and i am a hustler even though I live in a rich and developed country as Germany. 

In all of the hindrances in the country the Nigerians are still amazing people, who can turn every situation for their good. They are optmistic people; they believe whatever they do that it will heed good results and they don't easily give up. Moreso, there is no where in the world that you will not find one Nigeria. They are the 'ancestor of Israelites' in Africa because immigrate is in their blood. I love Nigeria and God bless Nigeria!

Pastor 's Wife Commits Suicide

This story happened a few weeks ago. At the Glory Ministry Church in Lagos. A successful preacher and a soul winner, an excellent motivational speaker. He was a man of principle and a highly respected pastor. He was married to a beautiful woman and their marriage was blessed with four lovely children. The pastor was the founder of the glory ministry church, and due to his commitment to serve people, he was called to pastored a church.

For many years he always go on evangelism and visitation with his beautiful wife. Oftentimes people will invite the pastor to their home for prayer and counselling, and the pastor will go together with his wife to the house of the injured person.

One day a woman secretly invited the pastor to his house, and the paster went to see the woman without the knowledge. He got to the woman's house, and the woman told him that she is having a severe pain, that he want him (pastor) to lay hand on her and pray for her to receive a divine healing.

According to the story from a reliable source, that was the beginning of rom*n*e between the woman, and the pastor. The woman whose husband has not been around for a period of time due to his work; started having an affair with the pastor. A woman who the pastor and his wife had studied the scriptures with and counselled her. Who was not a member of their church, but some how got the link to the pastor and started calling for prayer and counselling. She became so close to the pastor and his family and sometime sent them gifts. Unknown to the pastor's wife that her husband has already 'fell in love' with the 'strange woman' the very first time the woman invited him to her house. They continue with their secret affair without the pastor's wife having any cue of the husband cheating on her until last month.

The woman has called the pastor as usual and the pastor had showed up, thinking it was business as usual, but this time around, it was 'good news' for the pastor, what was the good news? The woman pastor has been having an affairs with is now pregnant for the pastor and he wants the pastor to her for an abortion, the pastor had doubted if the woman was serious or she is playing pranks on him. Then she showed him medical result of her pregnancy test.

Then the pastor told the woman that she will have the baby for him, but the woman insisted that she wants the pastor to take her to the hospital to abort the baby. But the pastor refused bluntly that he will not go for any abortion with her, that it was enough that he commited an adultery with her but he will not join her to murder the little live that is growing inside of her...

The woman went to the church, where the man and his family are fellowshipping... After the sunday service he called the pastor & his wife, and some miniters in the church and broke the news to them. That she has been having an affairs with pastor and she got pregnant for the pastor. The pastor's wife and the elders of the church asked the pastor and he admitted he has commited the sin of adultery but his wife could'nt belief...

The pastor's wife became depressed, devastated and suffering high blood pressure. Her husband (pastor) was dismissed from his duty as a pastor after he admitted that he has commited the sin of adultery. He left the church, and his wife condition became very worse, she started using overdose  medicine for her sickness. She died from using overdose drugs. The children are highly disappointed in their father and they still cry over the death of their mother: no one knows about the another woman 'disparaging' in her church.

The problem of adultery in churches has been for too long and most pastors and members has been immersed in it for too long. I once watched pastor E.A Adeboye where he talks on some of our spiritual (religion) leaders who are engaging in the act of adultery and when he try to warn them of it they says they know God will forgive of them because Jesus has given them the grace of '70*7'...

Adultery is a sin against the holy spirit and against humanity because not only those who commited the sin of adultery atleast suffer from it but also the family of those involved in the act and it makes the unbelievers to mock the believer because they believe the pastor should be a role model; pastor should pratice what they preach. The only condition Jesus gave for divorce was based on adultery.
" And I say unto you, whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery"- Matthew 19:9

Hear me, if Christ is the husband of the church, don't you think Christ can as well divorce whoever commit an adultery. Story deceiving yourself base on the logic of '70*7' grace does not give license to sin, and also that continue in sin shall perish.
"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord"- Romans 6:23

The main reason of writing this report/story is to help pastors and spiritual leaders realize the danger of adultery. Please if you are having an affair outside your marriage discontiue from  such affair and make a restitution... Pastor cherish your spouse and always tell her your weak points. No one is perfect, strive to finish well in your christain race.

My advice for women, please don't allow the devil to use as agent of darkness for the fall of these Ministers of God. " Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse"- Deuteronomy 11-26
Covered up your nakedness in church. Leave the pastors alone to do their assignment on earth. And pastors take your eyes off your beautiful sisters in the church. I want to address the mode of dressing of christain woman but I will leave that for another time.

I pray God have mercy on me a sinner and you. Shalom!

His appearance is like that of a strong, and stable minded person. He is ready to give his heart to anything he sets out to get. Moreso, Johnson had a charming face and good body build that will make any woman to fall for him. His dark smooth skin tone and brown eyes matched with his white teeth. He is every girl's dream man.

Sarah was a very beautiful girl too, she is fair in complexion, born and raised in the UK. Sarah had a talent, and a very bright career as a singer. Few years later after their meeting Johnson and Sarah got married and their marriage was blessed with two amazing Kids; Nifemi and Jay. They both decided to relocate to Nigeria since Johnson had a flourishing business he was doing in Nigeria. He was into importing, with a big Warehouse at Apapa Lagos. Apart from his head office in Apapa he also had a very big store/warehouse in a big shopping mall in Lagos, his wife Sarah was the manger; together they had a lot of sales persons, young men who help them to run the business.

One day, Johnson called James Obadara; one of the sales boy, who works with his wife. (James) a native of Ondo State from the west part of Nigeria. He told him that he was having problem with his
wife. James asked his boss what the problem was? Johnson narrated how he had to spend 1million naira (4,000£) on food stuffs and provisions each time his mother-in-law visits them from London. All this will happen within three weeks of her stay and he doesn't like the fact he has to spend such amount of money each time she visited them. He asked James to help him talk to his wife, telling her
the state of his mind.

James was a hard working and detailed employee, that made him, his boss favorite. He also help out around the house. His bosses will often reward him by giving him some of their expensive used clothes, furnitures, electronics and other things. James brought most of the things he got from his
 to his family, seeing he was the first son of the family. James did as his boss had instructed him, he called his boss's wife and told her the conversation he had with her husband, also the fact that he was'nt happy with the way things were. Then the wife (Sarah) told James that Johnson was a big liar, that Johnson did not spend the amount he claimed to have spent on food stuffs. She told James that
she had noticed that husband was'nt happy, when she didn't make sales and brought very little money
home, she admitted that business was'nt going well and she didn't know the reason why but her husband blamed her for it. At this juncture, James is lost because he isn't sure who to believe

One day, Johnson told his wife that he needed to use her sport car, she obliged him. He drove off, just to return with a girl sitting beside him in the car. He parked the car in front of the shopping mall where Sarah's office is located. Like he knew she will; she saw her car with another woman sitting inside the car with her husband and she approached them, to better understand what was going on, her husband drove off, he didn't return to the house until very late at night.

Sarah who was still in shock by her husband's actions could'nt sleep, she tried to question her husband about what happened earlier in the day but he replied saying if she don't leave him in peace,
he was going to leave the house, and marry a secound wife. Sarah who in crazy love with her husband knew something wasn't right but she was ready to do anything to protect her marriage. She
quickly called on James who had become her confidant over the years. She asked James to take her to a Prophet, concerning her marriage. As always James came through and took Sarah to see a Prophet.
Along the line, word got to Johnson, on his wife's frequent visits to the Prophet for help. He also knew that James is the only one that is close to his wife, and will mostly likely be the person to have taken her to the Prophet's place. He invited James to follow him out, James got in the car as always. No questions, Mr Johnson drove to somewhere in Lagos Island, that is densely populated by miscreants, popularly called "Area boys" in Nigeria. When they got to what look like a hang out spot, Johnson asked James to come out of the car and he handed James to the thugs, saying "this him".
That was all the cue the thugs needed to pounce on James, the boys tortured James so much, they burned the hair on his skin with a candle. While the torture continued, James asked what his offense was, and told him that his boss (Johnson) told them he stole his Rolex wristwatch. James being a wise young man, quickly admitted to stealing the Rolex, he told them it was at his place, he ask that they followed him to his house so that he could give the wristwatch to them, since it was of more value than his life.

The thugs agreed and followed him to his family house where James lived. When they got there, they introduced themselves as police officers from Lagos Island police statiion; to James's family, that James was arrested for stealing his boss's Rolex. James who was in agonizing pain could not speak out, he just kept weeping continuosly. James had just lost his mother few weeks before this ugly incident. The family members were still mourning the death of James's mother, they all look really shocked with the latest development.

After searching and not finding any Rolex in the house, they threatened to take James back to their custody, James's elder sister demanded for their ID card as Nigeria Police force and they could'nt produce one. His sister Maia, said to them without their identity card they will not take her brother any where, especially not in his present critical condition. After an extensive argument and fight from James's sister the member of his family and friends the thugs were over powered and left without taking James with them.

A few days later after James has fully recovered and was a lot better, he was able to tell the family the whole story; he said he didn't steal the Rolex wristwatch, he also told them of how his boss's wife planned on selling all the properties of Mr Johnson and move to the UK with him (James) so that Johnson will not be able to get him because he is a very dangerous man, and could kill anyone to save Face. Apparently Johnson got to know about her plans and all Hell broke loose.

At end of everything Sarah and Johnson divorce and she moved on with her life.
