I WON'T BE COMING TO CHURCH ANY MORE A member went to the Rev Minister and said, Sir, I won't be coming to church anymore.” The Rev asked “But why?” The member answered, It is getting out of hands, I saw and heard a sister speaking bad of another sister; another brother that couldn't read well was laughed at; the worship team are living wrongly; some people are always looking at their phones or even answer calls during church service; among so many other things that are wrong in the Church, It is outrageous. That's alright, the Rev Minister replied. But before you leave the church, could you do me a favour ? The member listened as the Rev Minister asked him to fetch a full glass of water and walked round the church hall three times without spilling a drop of water on the floor, afterwards, leaves the church if so desired.” He then thought awhile, that's so easy! And the member fetched the full glass of water and walked three times round the church hall in the presence of the Minister who was watching, without spilling a drop on the floor. When the member finished, he then told the Rev Minister he was ready. The Minister asked him, “When you were walking round the church with the glass of water, did you see a sister speaking bad about another sister?” no sir, he replied. did you see anyone looking at their phone, the Minister asked again?” I did not sir, do You know why, the Minister queried?” No Daddy, the member answered slowly. Okay, Were you focused on the glass of water to make sure you didn't spill or allow any drop of water to fall to the floor? Yes Daddy, I was very careful focusing on the glass of water while making the rounds, the member explained to his Minister. The Minister replied to him, It's the same with our life both in the society and in the Church. What you focus on, is what you see and that what your attention is drawn to. When our focus is on the Lord Jesus Christ, we will not have time to see and observe the mistakes of others that will upset us, but we will see opportunities to serve God and save others.
