A member of Deeper Life Church, who serves in the kitchen wing, has shared a powerful and lesson-filled message with the public, accompanied by photos that highlight the beauty of service within the church community.
Kitchen Work Open to All, Regardless of Status
Moses Ochowechi Energy, a man who works in the Deeper Life Church kitchen, spoke highly about his work station in a Facebook post on April 5. He revealed that people from all walks of life, irrespective of their ranks or positions in society, serve in the church's kitchen. Moses emphasized that working there is not exclusive to any particular group, but is a responsibility undertaken with humility and cheerfulness.
He noted that the church's kitchen caters to the needs of attendees and members during church programs, providing meals to ensure comfort and facilitate the reception of God's word. Moses humorously remarked that kitchen work is not for the weak, sharing pictures of himself in action to illustrate the dedication involved.
Beauties of Deeper Life Church Highlighted
In his post, Moses shed light on some unique aspects of Deeper Life Church. He mentioned that tithes and offerings are not collected until Sunday worship, and even then, it is not mandatory but done willingly by members. This approach fosters a spirit of voluntary giving and participation.
Moses wrote: "There's a Church in the world that your profession doesn't matter or stopping you to work in kitchen because you are doing it for God with cheerfulness. In Deeper Life Church kitchen work is not for the set of people it's our responsibilities." He added, "Omo come and see how people humble themselves if they did not tell you whom they are you won't know."
Netizens React with Praise and Shared Experiences
The post garnered significant attention online, with many netizens expressing admiration and sharing their own experiences. Priscilla Amaka commented: "Humility and Holiness, our watchword. Proud to be a DL member. God bless all sincere workers." Vicky Clarinet noted: "Honestly oh, no be lie. I saw a district group pastor turning garri in the kitchen...I know the man very well, no be small man oh. I was overwhelmed."
Other reactions highlighted similar instances of humility. Michael David shared: "In Port Harcourt Easter Retreat, my old district washed plates on Sunday night, you needed to see the high and mighty in the society washing plates. We started by 10pm and finished by 2am. Nobody moved anywhere. I truly saw what it meant to be abased." Durable Lian added: "Omor no be lie ooo, your title ends at the entrance of Deeper life church, go to kitchen you will see a doctor, professor, barrister etc. washing dishes, being an usher and many more. That alone is so impressive."
