This blog title is a line from one of the songs of a popular
Nigerian gospel artist Buchi.
The gospel is not for Sunday morning
Sunday morning alone
Each and every day that the lord has made
We have to give thanks and praise to the lord
Okay, back to the post before we get carried away. As the
song writer says, the gospel is really not for Sunday morning alone. A lot of
us only remember our bibles only on Sunday; a lot of us only remember God on Sunday
unless we are going through some difficulty. Well, I’m here to tell you that
It is not only on Sundays that you read your bible
It is not only on Sunday that you fellowship with your maker
It is not only on Sundays that you bridle your tongue
It is not only on Sunday that you go to church (remember that
fellowship with the brethren enhances the sprit)
It is not only on Sunday that you dress decently
It is not only on Sunday that you post decent write-ups on Facebook
It is not only on Sunday that you caution yourself against
mocking someone
It is not only on Sunday that you abstain from immoral
relations
It is not only on Sunday that you abstain from doing wrong
Yes the bible said, observe the Sabbath day to keep it holy
but it didn’t say, desecrate other days. While talking with a friend a while
back, he said that during his quiet time, the Holy Spirit ministered to him an
insightful truth; that the presence of God is mostly always with us in our
unguarded moments. He doesn’t only come in church when we are in religious
regalia with a sanctimonious face, praising him like he is the only best thing
that has happened to us. We are his children and he has put His angels charge
over us, therefore He is always with us.
So if you are a Sunday-Sunday Christian, you go to church
only on Sunday, do good only on Sunday, read your bible only on Sunday, the
week is for you to run your life as you want, you only acknowledge his
supremacy on Sundays, then my dear, stop wasting your precious time. You are
not a Christian at all.
We can’t keep speaking harsh and immoral words every day,
sleep with our numerous girlfriends during the week, wear the skimpiest dresses
and attract more souls to the devil’s kingdom and then on Sunday, we run to
church to praise God. Bible said that the prayer of a sinner is an abomination
to God.
Dust your bible and develop a quiet time every day with Him,
join a department in church and serve in the household of God, have morning and
night devotions even if it is 20 minutes, pray more, worship more, take out
time and evangelize to people. Don’t be too busy for God that you can only
spare Sunday for him. Anything worth doing is worth doing well.
The gospel is not for
Sunday morning alone, God’s words and commandments is not for Sunday morning
alone, it is for each and every day of our life that the lord has made.

This is so true, we are in the last days and so many are being deceived. A walk with God demands much more commitment than one time in a week. God deserves to have us every minute of every hour of our live.
