The Potter's House
Today we decided to visit the church pastored by tdjakes It was a wonderful service not to mention the fact that we spend a total of 5 hours getting there, attending the service and getting back home.
We looked up the directions on the net last night and realised we could actually get there without too much hustle. The train would take us all the way to Westmoreland and then there would be a bus that picked people up from the station and took them straight to church.
Getting to Westmoreland was pretty easy, we rode the train to the very last stop, when the bus came we jumped on. Then we realised that the driver seemed to be moving in circles and taking all sort of routes, at one point he even passed the turn off to church but everybody seemed at ease so I figured there was something to it. I later realised that the bus driver had to go a round these areas just in case he found some people who were going to church too, that took us like 40 minutes.
When we got to the church, it was flooded with people, cars, security the whole works, I thought wow! and this is a typical Sunday?!
Turned out to be their 10th anniversary so there was lots of celebration.

Bishop TDJakes wasn't there but we were blessed to hear Bishop noeljones preach a very powerful sermon about the woman with the issue of blood (Mark 5:24 - 34 ). One thing that he mentioned that struck me was that, Faith is like a finger print, it's unique to everyone. So the question is, are you building your faith?, not depending on what God has done for others but what you believe He can do for you. How do we build our faith again? by reading the Word, when we read the word and internalise it then we begin to understand who we really are in Christ.
The song that was sang at the alter call was "oh it is Jesus, yes it is Jesus, it is Jesus in my soul, for I have touched the hem of His garment and His blood has made me whole", now those of you who have heard me talk about this song might have a clue on just how much I was ministered to in this service, it was absolutely awesome.
That's about all the preaching I will do today, thank you very much.

Irene dear,
ReplyDeleteYou have no idea how big the Mich we are talking about is. I would need to look for an extra huge jogging stroller, and even then he would think we are playing some sort of game. Bottom line, he loves to walk, pick up sticks, splash in puddles,e.t.c wouldn't like to miss out on all that fun now would he?
