Today was not that good but it was the best all because I have another opportunity to worship with God's people in His sanctuary. One of my pastor do say that mortuary is the opposite of sanctuary because there is silence in the mortuary while the sanctuary is always full of praises. So anytime I have the opportunity of praising God, I praise like never before.
On my way to church
Although, I went late to church but every thing there is a turning point for me. Starting from the hymn that was taken from hymn 328 of the baptist hymn. I believe the hymn will be needed by some people, so here is the lyrics:
[1]
What a Friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer!
[2]
Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
[3]
Are we weak and heavy-laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge—
Take it to the Lord in prayer;
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer;
In His arms He’ll take and shield thee,
Thou wilt find a solace there.
The service today at First Baptist Church, Oyo was superb.Not only the hymn was fantastic but the sermon delivered by the coordinator Northwest baptist conference [Rev. (Dr) S. A. Adegboyega] was awesome. The text ws taken from the book of psalm chapter 24 verse 1-10 with LIFT UP THY GATE as the title.
[1]
The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it;
[2]
for he founded it on the seas and established it on the waters.
[3]
Who may ascend the mountain of the Lord? Who may stand in his holy place?
[4]
The one who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not trust in an idol or swear by a false god.
[5]
They will receive blessing from the Lord and vindication from God their Savior.
[6]
Such is the generation of those who seek him, who seek your face, God of Jacob.
[7]
Lift up your heads, you gates; be lifted up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in.
[8]
Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.
[9]
Lift up your heads, you gates; lift them up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in.
[10]
Who is he, this King of glory? The Lord Almighty— he is the King of glory.
The verse is a common one but the preacher preached with enthusiasm which made me to believe that success has a gate and unless you have the key which is determination and motivation you will never fulfill your destiny life.
After the service, I head to my hostel to eat before going for editorial meeting because am a press member in school.
I was at the editorial meeting until past seven before charging my phone so as to update you people on steemit.
