DDs are here to take over π
About the guy who scammed me 180M, I came to court this morning, met his mom, met his wife too.
The mom said I should pardon him, that she doesnβt want to lose the only child she depends on.
She said I shouldnβt allow him do jail.
Heβs been unable to meet his bail conditions, but she said I should pardon him and withdraw the case so we can settle it out of court knowing that her son has spent all the money and he has nothing on him at the moment.
This woman made me angry all over again.
In 2020, all I had was β¦20,000 I made from my days of playing Bet9ja.
My girlfriend at the time, who is now my wife, was a fresher at the University of Ibadan and needed some money to start a business.
I honestly didnβt think twice.
I sent her the money and supported her as she started her perfume business.
Later that same year, I made some really bad decisions.
A friend and I took money from some friends to trade with, and we lost everything.
We ran into serious debts, and things became crazy.
I had to sell almost everything I had.
I was depressed.
I got to a point where I considered selling one of my kidneys just to pay off the debts.
I even considered suicide.
Yeah, it was that terrible.
But while all of this was happening, something else was happening too.
My girlfriendβs business was growing.
And not just growing a little.
It was doing really well.
She was young. Beautiful. A student. She had her own money. She had every reason to walk away from a man who had nothing to offer at that point.
But she stayed.
She took care of me.
She fed me.
She clothed me.
She supported me.
She stood by me through what was probably the lowest point of my life.
Looking back now, I realise that she could have left.
There were probably many women who would have.
She had enough reasons to choose herself and walk away.
But she didnβt.
She stayed.
Today, when I think about the woman I have beside me, I donβt just see my wife.
I see the young girl who believed in me when I had nothing.
I remember those sacrifices.
I remember those difficult days.
And I just want to say:
Thank you, my woman. β€οΈ
Thank you for staying.
Thank you for believing.
Thank you for loving me when loving me wasnβt convenient.
I will never forget.
But the Lord said to Samuel, βDo not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.β
- 1 Sam 16:7
He was already built and tattooed like this before he became a pastor. This man was an actor - a very good one at that. Anyone can be called into ministry.
Him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead and calleth those things which are not, as though they were.
- Rom 4:17
I think we box God into the creation we have in mind because we forget we are the creation, not Him. Who ministers is at God's discretion. That is why 1 Cor 1:27 says "Instead, God has chosen what is foolish in the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen what is weak in the world to shame the strong."
I'm not saying don't judge him. Judge him by what he preaches. Crosscheck his preaching with the gospel of Christ for any controversy and false doctrine. Judge his life for ungodliness. Is he performing fake miracles or extorting his members through biblical misinterpretation. Appearance is a nebulous claim to godliness. Bodily exercise profits little(1 Tim 4:8), but at least, there is profit.
Holding to a form of [outward] godliness (religion), although they have denied its power [for their conduct nullifies their claim of faith]. Avoid such people and keep far away from them
- 2Tim 3:5
It is not by clean cut and suit. By their fruits, you'll know them.
