This is Pastor Jeremiah Steepek (pictured below)

He transformed himself into a homeless person and went to the 10,000 member church that he was to be introduced as the head pastor at that morning.
He walked around his soon to be church for 30 minutes while it was filling with people for service... only 3 people out of the 7-10,000 people said hello to him.
He asked people for change to buy food... NO ONE in the church gave him change. He went into the sanctuary to sit down in the front of the church and was asked by the usher if he would please sit in the back.
He greeted people to be greeted back with stares and dirty looks, with people looking down on him and judging him.

As he sat in the back of the church, he listened to the church announcements and such.
When all that was done, the elders went up and were excited to introduce the new pastor of the church to the congregation...

"We would like to introduce to you Pastor Jeremiah Steepek"... The congregation looked around clapping with joy and anticipation...
The homeless man sitting in the back stood up... and started walking down the aisle... the clapping stopped with ALL eyes on him... he walked up the altar and took the microphone from the elders (who were in on this) and paused for a moment... then he recited:
“Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world.
For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you?
When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’ The King will reply, “Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.”
After he recited this, he looked towards the congregation and told them all what he had experienced that morning... many began to cry and many heads were bowed in shame.... he then said...
“Today I see a gathering of people... not a church of Jesus Christ. The world has enough people, but not enough disciples... when will YOU decide to become disciples?” He then dismissed service until next week...
Being a Christian is more than something you claim. It’s something you live by and share with others.

~As I read this, I remembered something Apostle Joshua Selman said, he said, “if Jesus appears on this earth as Jesus, and not as the king we have always had in our minds, it is possible that we reject him.” I’m still thinking about that.
For the times we’ve looked away from helping others, for the times we have downsized people, for the times we have rejected some and accepted others, see our hearts Lord, we truly repent.
We will not see that person in need and look away, we will not see that human crying and act like we heard them laughing. We will preach Jesus, and live Jesus. Amen.

There are days you pray and you become so overwhelmed with the presence of God, you can almost touch it.

There are other days you pray and everything feels so “dry”.
There are days you study the word and revelation hits you with every word.

There are other days it feels like a chore, and you really had to be really diligent to sit through the study.
There are days you get answers to your prayers while you’re yet praying.

There are other days you have to wait it through to see the prayers come to pass.

I had a friend that said their mind, only when telling a joke. They didn't know that I'm God's baby girl and in turn God's paddy. He highlighted the seemingly "meaningless" lines to me as though with a bold marker.
They'd want to express some jealousy, but they'd do it in the form of a joke and for every time they did, I could discern what exactly they intended to say, and that was because I had made a simple but sincere prayer to God.
It went like, "Lord, please I don't want to find myself living Psalm 1:1." God did not only answer my prayer but also gave me the ability to make the right choices and the necessary tools that I needed to do that—The gift of Discernment.

Stop addressing yourself as “a miserable sinner,” “a worthless creature,” when you're praying to God.

It is NOT humility to speak that way.

Jesus has now made you righteous, you’re saved, priceless, you're royalty.

This is your new identity, accept it with your FULL CHEST.
It doesn’t make God feel good hearing you call yourself those things.

Stop claiming titles that don't belong to you. You're not a miserable sinner, you're not hopeless, you're not dirty.

You used to be all those things, but not after you received the life of Christ.
Now, you're saved, sanctified, holy, now you have levelled up!

There's this joy that bubbles inside of you, and you feed off when you know who you truly are.

Don't give the devil a chance by feeding off wrong ideologies. Please, don't.

Sometimes, God’s intentionality about us shows in really random things. There are times you have a thought/desire you didn’t even pray about, & you just come across it on your social media or somewhere you weren’t expecting. A God who hears our WORDS and HEARTS. We stan 🙌
There are lovers that listen to every words you utter and grant your desires. Then there’s that lover who not only pays attention to your words, but to your heart too... He listens to every of your unsaid words and satisfies you, how refreshing to know!
The times you craved for shawarma and got it without asking,
The times you needed money and someone just asked for your account number (out of the blues. Lol)
The times you needed a friend and he sent someone to love you... I mean, you remember those times, don’t you?

Sis, You Said No To Him Already, So Why Are You Still Monitoring His Life?

Why are you stalking him, really? Why are you checking his social media to see if he has the picture of another lady? You already said you weren’t interested, so why?
I’m talking to you my dear, why so bothered? Why do you still look out for him at events or gatherings? Oh, I get it, the Bible tells you to be your brother’s keeper, so you’re trying to do your part innit? Lmao!
I’m not done... why does your stomach knot when you see him talking to another lady? What’s the challenge? I mean, the young gentleman met you and spoke to you about his interest, you said no,
