For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. - Romans 1:16 from King James Version
Before you got here I'm very sure you read that passage of the Holy scripture I mentioned? If you did, then I will love you to be open minded when reading this, I am going to telling you some things you might already know, but not like I'm going to say them or some things you don't know and you don't even do or some things you know but you refuse to do them because you feel it does not matter, well, everything in this texts today matters but it's still left for you to be like the barbarian Christians who heard something strange and went back to do a thorough research and returned back to ask questions. So without further ado, let's see what I have for you today.
We all know that Christ came to the earth to die for our sins, he was buried and on the third day he resurrected, right? Well if you don't know this before, I'm sure you do now. Do you know that this is "THE" gospel of Christ? In this gospel, please take note of these three words there, which are DIED, BURIED AND RESURRECTION. Do you think these words have any significant meaning or they are just regular words to you? Well that's for you to find out yourself.
When I was a child I was privileged to attend different denominations and I saw how they worshipped God, it was beautiful in most and few were just so obvious that they were not doing the right thing, although they still had a lot of members. Going to these denominations, I began to question myself about so many things that don't make sense to me but I couldn't bring myself to ask these questions to the leaders of these denominations, after all what does this little girl know, right?

I still attended these churches not until I got the opportunity to worship with one church and I just knew I was in the right place, this is so unusual, why was it not business as usual?, I asked. After worship, I got home and I tried to study my Bible to confirm if all what I heard from the teacher was true because it sounded almost impossible for such things to be. Lo and behold, everything was correct and clearly written in the scripture. How is this possible? I almost had a hard time believing but after I went there the second time, I knew this has to be it, the truth I seek.
After one year of worshipping with the church, God added me to his church and ever since then, I made it a point of duty to always make myself available to go for the preaching of the gospel to the world. I was so passionate about this task because I know it's the only Power God has given to us that will be able to save us just like paul has said in the book of Romans 1:16. I was always happy seeing that I made it for almost all the Evangelism programs organized by the local church. But at some point I felt like I wasn't doing enough, I knew just following the church out for Evangelism alone won't work, so I took it upon myself to study the scriptures more and the more I studied the more I became more confident to speak to people about the true gospel of Christ.
When I got added to the church through water Baptism, I became more conscious of how I lived my life, I always tried learning from my mistakes and correct them because I know I was no longer who I was before, I was a new person now because I was reborn into a new family and this new family has her own way of living and that way is more important than my own personal family's way of life. And because of this, God gave me the opportunity to become someone that saved a soul through my preaching of the gospel to her, my neighbor (remember, the gospel is the only way God can call any human today, so do not be deceived).
The day the lord added her (a neighbor) to his family (the church), I was really so proud of myself but then, it also made me more conscious of the task ahead. It made me realize that my work only just started, because now I am a role model, so I have to keep becoming more versed in the knowledge of the holy Bible and the truth is, it has never been easy but I thank God for how far he has lead me and I'm even more grateful to him for adding me to his family, it is a great privilege indeed.
I won't be surprised to see that most people won't read the message in this article but I will be very happy to see few ask further questions of what I have said here today.
