what I’ve gathered is I try my best for Sundays 😂

There’s a phase you get to in life life, all those hymns you sang in your childhood as mere songs , starts making total sense Because what a friend we really have in Jesus ?

Fatherhood, parenthood broadly, is such an honour. God could have hoarded this. As the source of all things, dependence flows to him, never from him. But he allowed us to share in this part of his essence. What an honour. To have a small piece of yourself, whom you name, who clings to you, who looks straight into your eyes with delight, who in his vulnerability sees you, at least for a season, as the source of his life, the beginning and the end. How staggering that God even tolerates such an illusion to form.

God spoke to Samuel three times and Samuel thought it was Eli. God did not correct him or announce himself. He did not even scream, instead He kept whispering. This is the thing people miss about the character of the voice. It does not compete for your attention. It does not escalate when you miss it. It whispers and whispers and whispers until something in you goes still enough to receive it. David says God knows your thoughts before they become words. Before they rise from whatever depth they live in into the shape of language, he already knows. A God that intimate does not speak in one universal frequency broadcast to the crowd. He speaks in the dialect of your interior life. He speaks to you the way only someone who has always known you could speak. The painful irony is that the testimonies that carry this signature, so precise, so personal, so indexed to something only you and God know, those are exactly the ones people undermine. Not the vague ones, the precise ones. Because precision feels too convenient. It feels like coincidence dressed up. So people explain it away, and the voice keeps whispering, and they keep waiting for a scream. Stop building frameworks around how God must communicate. Stop going to the skies looking for thunder when the address has always been intimate. The voice does not have to identify itself. Samuel had to be taught by an old priest to recognize what he was already hearing. And notice what Eli’s instruction actually was. Not: test it. Not: be careful, it might not be God. He said go lie down, and if he calls again, say speak Lord. He was not forming Samuel to be suspicious. He was forming him to be receptive. Even then God did not announce himself. He just whispered again, and Samuel finally said, speak Lord. The call is not to seek more. It is to despise the whisper less.

Sometimes I feel guilty for resting I wrote about the tension I experience with these two If you have 2 mins for a short read, please check it out. open.substack.com/pub/minister2p…

now unto him, who is able to keep me from running mad🙏

Also, Peter Obi is not a “lesser evil”. I am again begging us all to have moral clarity. The man who said if anyone finds N5 that he embezzled should come forward and he’d leave the race: That man is not a “lesser evil” I am begging you guys. The man who has donated more money to education and health from his own purse more than the CapEx for health by the government is not a “lesser evil”. The man who left no debt but actual surplus in the treasury of the state he governed is not a “lesser evil”. The man who has successfully without any corruption led as: Chairman of Fidelity Bank Plc Director of Fidelity Bank Plc Chairman of Next International Nigeria Ltd Chairman of Guardian Express Mortgage Bank Ltd Chairman of Future View Securities Ltd Chairman of Paymaster Nigeria Ltd Chairman of Chams Nigeria Plc Director of Chams Nigeria Plc Director of Data Corp Ltd Director of Card Centre Plc Independent Non-Executive Director of Nigeria LNG Ltd: Is not a “lesser evil”. The man who went to Egypt to study how to make power constant for you is not a lesser evil. The man who said he wouldn’t tax you unless he has prospered you isn’t a lesser evil. The “lesser evil” bifurcation came when we wanted to choose between a corrupt incompetent Buhari and a corrupt incompetent Atiku. I don’t really like politics Twitter. But I’m saying this so we all have moral clarity. I am begging us all. Please, let’s dump these contrarian virtue signaling. I am begging. We are up against vicious people. These are the people who have witnessed around 5 generals and colonels die and nothing is moving them. I am begging you all, please.

My bebe @Minister_2pac just dropped a most intriguing write up on Substack!! Give it a read, it’s entirely too good🙇🏾‍♀️ open.substack.com/pub/minister2p…

@Minister_2pac As if you weren’t the one that started the convo today 🤭😌

Yup here again Discussed relative velocity 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️ And how man trusts in all of the laws and obeys them. Even though we cannot see them, we know they influence outcomes.

@Minister_2pac yet you keep lending me your ears 😌😂😂

@adaezejacobs what was it you were trying to discuss with me again ? Increase in price of gold and house hold inflation And some socioeconomic something 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

This is how my GenZ daughter, Anna Miriam Brown, is reaching the next generation with the Story of Jesus. She is reaching millions of youth in a way that captivates them and makes them want to read the Bible! I raise my kids to be bold and creative as they live for Christ…

@adaezejacobs 🥺🥺🥺🥺

@Minister_2pac My one and only 🥺

There is absolutely NO aspect of church leadership and ministry work that is exclusive to men. Not starting a ministry, not leading it, not teaching and discipleship, not working of miracles, nothing. There is nothing God anoints a man to do in ministry that he hasn’t, doesn’t and can’t anoint a woman to do. God’s anointing and calling IS NOT by gender. Dear women, please, teach the Full Gospel. There is much more to you than “wives and children ministry”. You are called and anointed by God! Disciple nations! work miracles! Do ALL that God has placed in your hands to do. Don’t let a culture tainted by misogyny dictate the expression of God’s abilities in you. Do it ALL!

“Golden Brown” is one of those perfect songs that sounds like it exists outside of time.
