I rejoice, not because all is well with me; I rejoice because all is well between God and me.(see 1 Peter. 1:8)

@NwagbaraIzuchuk When one side does all the killing and another side does the dying, which one is "let's talk!" Do dead people hold conversations with the living?

Just stylishly brushed aside and sidestepped REAL ISSUES with flowery words. Xenophobia is a big issue of black South Africa, no one is trying to divide anyone. Deal with the issue, condemn it and stop this gaslighting. Start the conversation with your fellow SouthAfricans!

🤣😂🤣😂

Thomas Sowell: "The human race began in poverty, so there is no mysterious explanation as to why some people are poor. The question is, why have some people gotten prosperous, and in particular why have some gotten prosperous to a greater degree than others."

@bioland2 @AishaYesufu 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣

@AishaYesufu Is Sowore aware of this? Because even if he agrees, his orange beret won't!

Opposition parties in Nigeria have agreed to field one presidential candidate!!!!

Wait until the end 😂🤣😂🤣

Why is our default stance about things we can't explain the supernatural? Does it ever occur to us that the reason we can't explain a thing is because we are limited in our understanding? Does it not smack of arrogance to immediately conclude that a thing is unclear because it's supernatural? Sometimes, it is not ignorance but arrogance that keeps us from learning.

Flawless Victory...

Just Checking...

On my way back to my campus, I had to pass through Ilorin airport, where I spotted my first “City Boy Bus” and I couldn’t help but laugh. Why did I think it was funny? For one, I thought about how far away from Abuja and Lagos Ilorin was, both in distance and infrastructural development, but right here, in a city that is barely clinging to the last threads of modernity, thanks to the chronic mismanagement our politicians have inflicted on us for decades; yet, even here, in this shadow of what the real cities of Abuja and Lagos are, people still proudly brand themselves as part of the “City Boy” movement. Nothing is as funny as trying to be a city boy in a place that's barely a city. It was then that it occurred to me: that single image perfectly captures the deeper hack our politicians, especially the City Boy, have uncovered in the Nigerian psyche. You see ehn, City Boy isn’t pretending to be for Nigeria. He’s refreshingly open about being for himself. But he has mastered a very Nigerian psychological exploit: he makes you believe that even though he is primarily for himself, he is also, somehow, for you. Not you as some idealistic construct, but you, as a person who lives and breathes right in the midst of the mess that was once a promising nation. Once that personal connection clicks in your mind, once you are convinced that “This man dey my side,” everything else fades. You will defend him, campaign for him, and excuse his failures, even when you know, deep down, that his leadership is damaging the country as a whole. What is clear is that we have quietly abandoned the simple command to “love your neighbor as yourself” and put in its place, a more primal logic that “As long as Tinubu favors me and my family, I honestly don’t care who else he disfavors.” The collective good has been replaced by a transactional selfishness; a mindset that says, “If my own plate is full, the rest of the table can starve.” That is both the genius and, sadly, the tragedy of the hack. It doesn’t require ideology, it doesn't care about competence, or even think about genuine patriotism. It only requires that the voter feel personally included in the politician’s circle of self-interest. Once that illusion is sold, the Nigerian is ready to follow the movement, bus, banner, and all, no matter how broken the nation around him becomes.

I find myself in a unique set of circumstances that place certain positions beyond my reach. I will neither manipulate anyone nor try to force these realities into a different narrative that would alter my present path. This is because I believe God is not a machine that can be programmed with the right inputs to produce a desired outcome, but a sovereign Person who can bring to pass whatever He wills, whenever He wills it. My only responsibility is to make the most of the circumstances I’ve been given and to thank Him, even for them.

Catchy 🤣😂🤣

@TexasPreacher @Bishopofoau Here in Africa, the Reformed folks I know have no such qualms. I suppose it has to do with what's been said about those things...

Most Reformed folks are reluctant to talk about the Holy Spirit, walking in the Spirit, prayer, fasting, demons, angels, impressions...They think they'll be accused of being a charismatic. So what! Just point them to the Puritans, Covenanters, Spurgeon, Reformers, etc.

I understand the danger of believing that Jesus is who he isn't. I get that it is heretical to misconstrue to hypostatic union; but what happens when you misunderstand his mission and refuse to be instructed otherwise, what happens when you understand his person but misconstrue his mission? Is that damning also?

@BashirAhmaad @Dotman_Lee @SaniAminuMuham4 The fallacy of Composition

@Dotman_Lee @SaniAminuMuham4 Are Catholic not Christians?

It is surprising to see some Christians aligning with Donald Trump in opposition to their spiritual leader, Pope Leo. It shouldn’t be so. 🫢

@RepJeffries 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂

Donald Trump shamefully attacked His Holiness Pope Leo XIV. People of faith will never worship a wannabe King. We worship an almighty GOD.

@ruffydfire Christians ought to think very little of so called images/ paintings of Christ anyway. So let him have at it.

I know th brainwashed Christians will still support Trump after this He must be your Christ if you don’t condemn him

This is a bit complicated. To accept that this "blasphemes" Christ, we have to accept that similar images (from which this was likely copied) actually depict Christ, and to accept that those depict Christ, is to break the second commandment. So, it could technically be taken as an "error, mocking an error."

I don't even know what to say. Egomaniac level confirmed. King of the Narcissists. Confirmed. Willing to blaspheme without hesitation. Confirmed. Clear judgment upon the nation. Without a doubt.

@FinPlanKaluAja1 He is not entirely undeserving of what's coming

It's cold politics In California, it's a jungle primary; the top two, regardless of party, go on to the governor's race California is blue, but so many democrats are running that the fear is they all dilute their votes, and the two Republicans get 1st and second place This coordinated campaign removes Swalwell, releases his presumptive voters to surge to other candidates and prevents a Republican 1 and 2 in California

@DrMichaelLBrown Are you suggesting that there are things in creation that act contrary to the sovereign will of God?

I do not believe that everything that happens in this world is the will of God -- meaning, that God specifically ordained it to happen. There are plenty of things that are purely demonic and other things that are entirely fleshly, all of them contrary to the nature and will of God. At the same time, I believe that in the midst of everything happening in this world, God is at work, exercising His will for His purposes, and in the end, for His glory and our good. In the same way, not everything that happens in our lives as believers has been ordained by God. But in the midst of everything that happens in our lives, God is at work to conform us to the image of His Son. He is working out His will in the midst of the chaos of the world and the weakness of the Church. That is our sovereign God!

@Divinewillpepe The same Old Testament that Jesus referenced?

@FalaseOlamide The church fathers compiled the old testament. You are illogical

It is becoming increasingly clear that some are drawn to the Reformed tradition only for its intellectual appeal. Yet the moment they encounter something that feels more intellectually stimulating (the writings of the church fathers, the medieval scholastics, or even the effusive and emotion laden journals of the mystics) they think nothing of jettisoning the Protestant Reformation and returning to the very errors and shortcomings of those contemporaries of the church fathers and their medieval successors that made the Reformation necessary in the first place. Let this be a sober warning to every would-be admirer of the church fathers, to never study them apart from the clear lens of Scripture. To do otherwise is to risk being blinded to the very deficiencies and corruptions that once made reform not merely desirable, but unavoidable.
