You’re going to have an easier time selling a cure than selling prevention to human beings.
There are deep psychological truths that drive demand and supply
If an institution relies on repeated purchases for income
There is almost likely a foundation of manipulation.

Year 35!
I step into the fullness of all God has destined for me.
I step into it in all its power.
I do everything God has called me to do.
With audacity, with finesse, and always, always by the Spirit.
Happy Birthday to me!

A former governor of a state is running for president and someone in social media who has never held any such positions is saying his understanding of governance is very shallow.
Truly things Dey sup
To be honest, Peter Obi's understanding of governance is very shallow.
1. He does not understand governance and how it is structured.
2. He does not understand the problems of Nigeria. Yet he says he wants to solve the problem.(His confession from the attached video reel)
3. He does not know how our debt is structured.
4. He does not understand the concept of separation of power.
5. He has no idea what debt to revenue ratio means
6. He does not understand how infrastructural development contribute to overall development.
7. He has no idea what are sustainable development goals.
8. He does not know FIFA frowns at government interference in football federation affairs.
9. He talks and validates the viewpoint that he actually knows nothing about almost everything
10. He has no idea how to generate revenue and mechanisms to put in place for it.
How a religion reasons is a huge theological confession in and of itself.
Christian reasoning from its foundations is meticulous, internally consistent, and built on shared text.
When the writer of Hebrews wants to argue for the divinity and priestly rank of Christ to wavering Jewish believers, he does not merely assert. He builds. He says: Remember Melchizedek? No genealogy, no traceable ancestry. Yet Abraham paid him tithes.
In Hebrew culture, the lesser pays the greater. You have already agreed, without knowing you agreed, that there was a figure who outranked your patriarch.
Then he drops Psalm 110: "The Lord has sworn... you are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek." If Melchizedek is greater than Abraham, and the Messiah belongs to Melchizedek’s rank, the Messiah does not share a category with the prophets. He sits above the one your fathers bowed to. That is an argument with no exit. You have to dismantle the text or accept the conclusion.
Now contrast that with this example or series of examples you Muslims always point to. Anytime you want to justify bowing five times a day facing a specific geographic location, you drag in Biblical prophets completely at random.
You see Jesus, in a moment of agonizing trepidation in Matthew 26, fall on his face to pray, and you instantly leap to: “Therefore he prayed like a Muslim.”
Do you think through the logic of this? In 2 Samuel, King David "danced before the Lord with all his might." By your exact methodology, should we start a new religion centered around dancing hysterically before God?
God is a Father. Sometimes his children approach him with dancing; sometimes, scared and broken, we lie flat; sometimes we sit. There is no chain of textual consequence in your argument.
There is only a posture and a verdict. It looks like logic until you actually look inside it.
But since you opened the New Testament, for Jesus let us actually look at how Jesus handles prayer. He completely shifts the frame from the external to the internal. He tells his disciples: Go into your room, close the door, and pray to your Father who is unseen. He tells the Samaritan woman that a time is coming when worship will not be tied to a mountain or to Jerusalem, because “God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.”
He does not mention any geographic requirement or rigid ritual performance. It is an intimate, genuine encounter with a personal God.
And if you want to use Jesus's prayers to define him, you cannot stop at the garden. Look at John 17:5. Jesus prays: "Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began."
Find me the prophet who prayed that.
Abraham never did. Moses never did. No mere prophet in history ever walked into prayer and claimed pre-creational, shared glory with the Almighty.
The posture of submission in Matthew 26 doesn't undermine Christian theology; it requires it. It proves the Incarnation, the eternal Son genuinely entering human dependence and feeling the weight of human fear. You stopped reading at the physical posture, missed the entire theological foundation, and as usual you think this is a good refutation.
Why can’t a secular song carry a spirit essence?
You watch certain ‘secular’ movies and you’re haunted by fear. If evil spirits can use secular things as mediums, why do you think your secular art cannot be a tool in Gods hands?
If he doesn’t like secular songs that’s ok too
The irony is that prosperity often reveals whether a man truly loved GOD or merely needed HIM.
Israel cried out passionately in the wilderness, but once they entered abundance, many forgot the LORD. This is why GOD repeatedly warned Israel:
“Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God…” (Deuteronomy 8:11)
If moving to America reduced your prayer life, America did not become your god; comfort did. America simply exposed what your prayer life was built upon.
The highest form of prayer is not, “GOD, give me.”
The highest form of prayer is, “GOD, I want YOU.”
A man who has discovered GOD will still pray when every earthly need has been met, because prayer is not sustained by desperation alone; it is sustained by love.
It is unfortunate that many think otherwise.
The tough pill to swallow for most Muslims is if you take the Quran strictly as it is and synthesize it with the Hadiths, these men resemble Muhammed more closely than “Modern Muslims”. There is nothing the men here do, that Muhammed did not do, whether it is killing people or raping women. It is simply a question of the window of operation. But the Quran presents Muhammed as the timeless exemplar of perfection so therefore it is not far fetched or unfair to think or say that these men are the truest Muslims available.
“Before I formed you, I knew you”— God
This is also very true for a congenitally deformed baby.
What is wrong with us?!
Or when you quote texts like this, it should only apply to healthy babies?
Goodness me!
