This month makes it 6 years of total freedom from addictions such as porn, masturbation, sex and drugs. If total freedom is possible for me, it is for you too. Here are two things I have learnt over the years about addiction. Part 1

As we continued in our Love Code series tonight, we had an honest and deeply moving panel session moderated by Pastor Bisola @bisolabadejo on “Love After Trauma.” Pastor Bisola began by laying the foundation with the power of the Gospel. From Isaiah 61, she reminded us that Jesus didn’t just come to forgive sins - He came to break cycles, heal the brokenhearted, restore what was lost, and set us back on our feet.💫 On the panel were Pastor Damilola Praiseworth @Depraiz, Pastor Jaja Praiseworth @JajaPraiseworth, Pastor Anu Agoro @mrsanuagoro, and Pastor Joshua Kesena @JoshuaKesena, each vulnerably sharing their personal journeys through trauma and how Christ restored them.❤️

I love Everything that happened at Midweek service today. We all need a hug at some point…I guess I needed mine this night🥹 Thank you @bisolabadejo @JoshuaKesena @JajaPraiseworth Pastor DamiPraiseworth and Pastor Anu Agoro. Thank you Apostle @pst_iren Thank you @cci__global

For the past nine years, I have been learning to live in this gift of sustained freedom that is available to anyone. My name is Joshua Kesena, and I am passionate about pointing others toward true, lasting freedom.

they remind me of the power of God to transform a sex driven, porn saturated mind into a new man. Lasting freedom is not ultimately found in 12 step programs, accountability partners, or self imposed restrictions, valuable as those can be. Freedom is a Person. His name is Jesus.

9 years ago today, my life changed forever. At the time, I was trapped, caught in cycles of pornography and masturbation that had grown far beyond my control. Alongside that were addictions to sex and drugs, struggles I genuinely believed I would carry for the rest of my life.

Romans 1:16 📌 #ilovethisChurch

Personally speaking, if I was irreligious and searching for God, I’d be cautious of any faith that rests entirely on one man's testimony and revelation, one man who declared himself unquestionable, a final prophet without anyone else to confirm, validate, or test him. Under the umbrella of this faith, he's basically the sole source of any divine knowledge of God, good, and evil. I find that dangerous because no man is perfect, only God is. Should a person then lay claim to such a high office, - He’d need to be morally spotless and blameless by every civilization’s standards, because someone claiming eternal, unchanging revelation from God about good and evil can’t hide behind cultural norms, his life and morality must transcend them based on the timeless revelation he has received. - His ministry would also have to be backed by publicly witnessed signs and wonders that uplifted the masses. The "try it for a day” thing doesn’t answer the real question. Real conviction is formed when people have tested and proven the foundation of the faith, and encountered the undeniable power of God.

Now I’ve seen the conversations on the timeline… I’m reminded of something important about the Church. Jesus never policed people into holiness. He welcomed them, taught them, walked with them and trusted the Holy Spirit to do the deep work. We must do the same. Some people who attend our church shared their opinions online. Some of those opinions I agree with; some I don’t. Some of the tweets were unwise; some were deleted; some doubled down. That is the human journey. Growth is rarely neat. But let me say this clearly: They are still our people. We don’t deny them. We don’t discard them. We don’t treat them as PR problems (I mean, we are not a company, we are a church) They are all members of our church, (from the one whose video started it, to the ones that were annoyed by it), and we love them. In the Corinthian church, there was zeal, confusion, immaturity, and even clashing ideologies, yet Paul didn’t abandon them. He taught them. He corrected them. He walked with them until truth was formed in them. The only person he removed from fellowship was someone living in open, unrepentant sin. That’s not what this is. And even then, he brought him back into fellowship in 2 Corinthians. Most of what you saw online is not “rebellion”; it is discipleship in progress. Opinions shaped by culture will be reshaped by truth. Ideologies will be submitted to Christ over time. We don’t throw people away because their sanctification is still unfolding. CCI is not a museum for the perfect. It is a church. A church for people being transformed into the image of Christ. And all of us, every single one, are in that process. So yes, they belong here. And yes, God is still working in all of us. At the end of the day, it’s Reboot SZN and God is set to make an unstoppable move out of us.

It’s how we can’t see how this reflects on us. You guys, abeg. We are pastored better than this. Much better. See what we’re doing

Iran: Three Christian converts just began two-year prison sentences due to their involvement in a house church. Pray for Hannah Golami, Daniel Mohammadi, and Teymur Hosseini (an Afghan believer), who are today behind bars for following Christ. To learn more, see @articleeighteen.

Many call themselves Christians but really aren’t. The teaching of the Holy Scriptures can’t merely be suggestions to you.

This is such a hack in terms of RBC preparations.

In your hurry to push propaganda, you forgot to crop out the AI mark in the photos. Even if the pictures weren't doctored by you, it shows your bias that you wouldn't at least pause to question the validity of these photos. Shame.

@sciencegirl what side if you see godzilla?
