@doctrLakes Permit me to say I like you Dr. Your passion, boldness & deep intentions for the things of God🙏Haaa, real men on fire for God no many again! But you choose to. I love it for you Sir. You're indeed a blessing to not just your family but the world at large.
My parents weren't happy that I left Islam, but I refused to look back. At last, they knew I made a great choice because my life is a living proof of the love of God in Yeshua. Don't allow your parents to stop you from embracing the truth when you find it.
I think it’s time and Ok if I say this now.
I am new to this whole X social media experience and don’t usually talk about things I do quietly in life let alone bringing them to social media space, but this one touched me deeply.
A 21-year-old young man reached out to me here on X. He didn’t know me personally. He just took a chance and sent a DM. According to him, he had seen me fixing financial conundrums here on X and decided to trust me.
His father passed away in 2012. Before he died, he invested in stocks and made this young man his next of kin. At the time, the boy was just 8 years old, and the only male child out of 7 children.
But for years, the family couldn’t recover the investment. Emails went unanswered. Explanations were vague. Processes kept dragging endlessly.
You could feel the exhaustion in his messages.
And guess what, that was the only thing they were quietly fighting for after the father’s uncle took everything away from them after their dad died. According to him, they stayed in kaduna while the father was working and running his business here in Abuja while he was alive
I could tell that the boy wasn’t even chasing wealth….. he was chasing closure and dignity for his late father.
From the 4th of December, my days changed.
Calls.
Documents.
Physical follow-ups by my lawyer
Clarifications.
More calls.
More pressure.
All here in Abuja.
This people were just dribbling us
Sometimes it honestly felt like the system was designed to frustrate people until they give up what rightfully belongs to them.
But then something happened…..
When the brokers realised I had some experience in financial administration, the energy started to shift. I remained calm, because that’s who I am. But inside, I told myself one thing:
“This case must not die.”
I didn’t even realise that this is what happens when you try to be a beacon of hope here on X.
Then came the real turning point.
I involved my lawyer.
He began visiting their office repeatedly, following up firmly and professionally. And suddenly, things changed. Responses became different. Doors that had been shut slowly opened. Information that wasnot available began to surface. Processes that were once complicated suddenly became very possible.
Sometimes it’s not noise that moves mountains…..
It’s quiet, persistent pressure backed with the right structure.
When his sisters and mum saw how the discussions were opening up far beyond anything they had ever experienced before, they fully supported him. Hope returned to the home.
We kept pushing. Calmly. Consistently. Patiently.
And finally….. on the 23rd, the journey ended.
The exact amount recovered?
N48,636,376.83 ($300,000 as at 2012)
I wanted fighting for the value as at 2012 but the family were ready to move on.
That money was not just a figure.
It was a father’s sweat.
A father’s love.
A father’s silent provision for his children’s future.
Now let’s just call it:
“The VeryDarkMan Effect”
I watched a son who refused to give up finally breathe again.
I watched a family move from frustration to gratitude.
And I realised once more that sometimes, God simply uses us to stand beside people when the system feels too big for them.
We met here on X. A simple DM.
And today, a chapter finally closed in Abuja.
It would be unwise to mention the firm…. but let’s just say, my eyes are on them now.
P:S they haven’t met me till date.
I think I love X
if i had 10 days off over the holidays and wanted to make my first $1k, here's exactly what i'd do:
step 1: stop treating this like a vacation
everyone's watching netflix and drinking eggnog. you're about to build something that prints money in january while they're making resolutions.
step 2: pick one boring niche
dentists. accountants. real estate agents. law firms.
these people are closed for the holidays but their problems aren't. their inbox is piling up. their leads are going cold. their follow-ups aren't happening.
you're going to fix one of those problems.
step 3: learn enough to be dangerous
spend day 1-2 playing with n8n. don't master it. just understand the basics. trigger → action → output.
that's 80% of what you need.
step 4: build something that solves an obvious problem
lead follow-up automation. appointment reminders. invoice chasing. email sorting.
use Synta(.)io to go from idea to working workflow in under an hour.
plain english → automation. no debugging rabbit holes.
step 5: reach out before jan 1
"hey, noticed you probably have leads going cold over the holidays. i built something that follows up automatically while you're out of office. want me to show you?"
send 20 of these. linkedin, email, doesn't matter.
you need ONE yes.
step 6: charge what it's worth
$500-$1,500 for a simple automation that saves them 10+ hours/week.
they'll pay. because their alternative is doing it themselves in january when they're already behind.
---
the math:
10 days of focused work
1 client at $1K
january starts with money in the bank instead of just resolutions
while everyone's "planning to start" in the new year, you already did.
comment "HOLIDAY" and i'll send you:
- the exact outreach templates that work
- 5 boring automations that sell fastest
- how to price without feeling weird
(must be following so i can dm)
I own a small bakery. We aren’t famous, but we pay the bills. Last Tuesday, a woman came in. She was gripping her purse so tight her knuckles were white. She looked at the display case for a long time—too long. She pointed to the smallest plain vanilla cupcake we had. 'Just that one, please,' she whispered. 'Could you… could you put a tiny candle on it? It’s my daughter’s 6th birthday.' I looked at her shoes. They were wet. It was raining outside, and she had walked here. I looked at her eyes. Red-rimmed. I knew that look. It’s the look of a parent who has to choose between rent and a party. 'I’m sorry,' I said, putting on my best acting face. 'I actually have a huge problem. See this 8-inch chocolate cake with the unicorn frosting?' She looked at the expensive cake on the counter. 'My new decorator messed it up,' I lied. 'The icing is… uh… uneven. I can’t sell it. I was about to throw it in the trash. Would you do me a favor and take it off my hands? No charge. It saves me the guilt of wasting food.' She stared at me. She knew. The icing was perfect. She started to cry, right there in front of the croissant tray. 'Are you sure?' she asked. 'Please,' I insisted. 'You’re doing me a favor.' She walked out with a cake that would have cost $65, holding it like it was gold. Yesterday, I found a card slid under my door. It was a drawing from a 6-year-old girl. A unicorn with a big smile. And in wobbly crayon letters: 'Thank you for making my mommy happy.' Best profit I’ve made all year.

Here are the 7 prompts I used:
Jehovah’s Witnesses are honestly some of the easiest people to debate on the question, “Is Jesus really God?”
Not because they’re foolish, but because their own “very sacred” New World Translation (NWT), a translation deliberately edited to deny Christ’s deity, still can’t hide the fact that Jesus is Jehovah (Yahweh).
I don’t usually shy away when they approach me. For me, it’s a privilege to explain the gospel to them and show the Godhood of Christ using their own Bible. I’ve spoken with many of them; they often say, “We’ll come back so we can talk more,” but once we walk through the NWT carefully, they never do. Their own translation leaves them with a serious problem:
If the NWT is true, then Jesus is Jehovah.
I have explained below a clear, detailed, apologetic case, using only the NWT, that Jesus is not “a small god” or a created angel, but Jehovah Himself.
1. Prophecies about “Jehovah” are fulfilled in Jesus (in the NWT)
This is one of the strongest starting points, because you’re not interpreting; you’re simply asking them to compare who the Old Testament is talking about with who the New Testament applies it to.
Isaiah 40:3 → John 1:23 (NWT)
Isaiah 40:3 (NWT) speaks of “A voice of one calling out in the wilderness: 'Clear up the way of Jehovah! Make a straight highway through the desert for our God.”
John 1:23 (NWT) quotes this, where John the Baptist says, “I am a voice of someone crying out in the wilderness, ‘Make the way of Jehovah straight,’ just as Isaiah the prophet said.”
In the context, who is John preparing the way for?
Not the Father directly, but Jesus.
So in their own Bible:
Isaiah says the one coming is Jehovah.
John says he prepared the way for Jesus.
Conclusion: The NWT itself makes Jesus the fulfillment of a passage about Jehovah.
If the prophecy is about Jehovah, and the fulfillment is Jesus, then Jesus is Jehovah.
2. Calling on Jehovah to be saved = calling on Jesus (NWT)
Joel 2:32 → Romans 10:13
Joel 2:32 (NWT): “Everyone who calls on the name of Jehovah will be saved.”
Romans 10:13 (NWT) quotes exactly this: “Everyone who calls on the name of Jehovah will be saved.”
Now read Romans 10 (in the NWT) carefully:
Verses 9–10 speak of confessing Jesus as Lord and believing in Him.
Verses 11–12 speak of those who put their faith in Him.
Then verse 13 says, “Everyone who calls on the name of Jehovah will be saved.”
The whole context is about calling on Jesus, yet Paul quotes a verse about calling on Jehovah.
In the NWT’s own logic, to call on Jehovah is to call on Jesus.
Again, the identity lines up: Jesus = Jehovah.
3. Only Jehovah is worshiped, yet Jesus is worshiped (NWT)
Jehovah’s Witnesses insist “obeisance” to Jesus is just a form of respect, not worship. But the NWT itself creates a serious problem.
Only Jehovah deserves worship and divine glory
Deuteronomy 6:13 (NWT): Israel must fear Jehovah and “serve” (worship) Him.
Isaiah 42:8 (NWT): “I am Jehovah. That is my name; I give my glory to no one else.”
Jehovah alone is to be worshiped. He does not share His glory with another.
But the angels are commanded to worship Jesus
Hebrews 1:6 (NWT): When God brings His Firstborn (Jesus) into the world, He says:
“Let all of God’s angels do obeisance to him.”
“Obeisance” is the NWT’s softer translation of a Greek word that also means worship, the same word used for worshiping God.
Ask them:
If only Jehovah is to be worshiped,
And if angels must not worship created beings,
Then why are all of God’s angels commanded to “do obeisance” to Jesus?
If angels are worshiping Jesus and Jehovah will not share His glory with another, then:
Either the angels are idolaters, or Jesus truly is Jehovah.
Worship in heaven of “the One on the throne” and “the Lamb.”
In Revelation 5:13–14 (NWT), all creation blesses:
“the One sitting on the throne and the Lamb.”
The Lamb (Jesus) is right there sharing in the glory, honor, and praise given to the One on the throne.
Again, if Jehovah gives His glory to no one else, why does Jesus share in it?
4. Jesus bears exclusive titles of Jehovah (NWT)
The Bible does not allow two different beings to share these titles.
“The First and the Last”
Isaiah 44:6 (NWT):
“This is what Jehovah says… ‘I am the first and I am the last. Besides me there is no God.’”
Only Jehovah can say that. There is no other God.
Revelation 1:17–18 (NWT):
Jesus says: “I am the First and the Last, and the living one. I became dead, but look! I am living forever…”
Who died and is now alive forever?
Only Jesus.
So:
Jehovah is “the First and the Last.”
Jesus is “the First and the Last.”
Jehovah says, “Besides me there is no God.”
Jesus shares a unique title of Jehovah, and that title explicitly excludes any other God. Jesus cannot be a lesser, created “god” while holding the title that belongs only to the true God.
“Alpha and Omega,” the One “coming quickly”
Revelation 22:12–13 (NWT):
“Look! I am coming quickly... I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.”
Later:
Revelation 22:20 (NWT):
“He who bears witness to these things says, ‘Yes, I am coming quickly.’”
Who is the one “coming quickly”?
The context of Revelation points to Jesus as the one who says, “Yes, I am coming quickly.”
So in the NWT:
The One who is Alpha and Omega, First and Last, Beginning and End
Is also the One who says, “I am coming quickly.”
And that One is Jesus.
If Alpha and Omega is Jehovah, and Jesus is Alpha and Omega, then again: Jesus is Jehovah.
5. Jehovah alone created all things, but NWT says all things were created through Jesus
Jehovah created alone
Isaiah 44:24 (NWT):
Jehovah says He is the One “stretching out the heavens by myself, laying out the earth. Who was with me?”
He created alone. No creature helped Him.
Yet all things were created through Jesus
John 1:3 (NWT):
“All things came into existence through him, and apart from him not even one thing came into existence.”
Think about that phrase: “apart from him not even one thing came into existence.”
If Jesus is a created being:
He would be part of the set “all things that came into existence.”
But John 1:3 says nothing came into existence apart from Him.
That would mean Jesus had to bring Himself into existence, which is impossible.
Jehovah says He created all things by Himself.
John 1:3 says all things came into existence through Jesus.
The only way to make sense of this is:
Jesus is Jehovah, the uncreated Creator.
He is not part of creation; He is the One through whom it all came into being.
6. Only Jehovah is Savioryet NWT calls Jesus Savior and “our great God”
Only Jehovah is Savior
Isaiah 43:11 (NWT):
“I—I am Jehovah, and besides me there is no savior.”
According to Jehovah, there is no other Savior.
But Jesus is clearly called Savior in the NWT
Luke 2:11 (NWT):
“There was born to you today a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.”
Titus 2:13 (NWT):
Refers to the “manifestation of the glory of our great God and of [or ‘and Savior’] Jesus Christ.”
The underlying Greek grammar (which you can point out if needed) links “God” and “Savior” to one person — Jesus Christ.
If:
There is no Savior besides Jehovah, and
The NWT calls Jesus Savior and ties Him to “our great God,”
then the most natural conclusion is:
Jesus is not a separate, lesser savior but Jehovah Himself, our great God and Savior.
7. Jesus is explicitly called “God” in the NWT, and He accepts it
Thomas’s confession
John 20:28 (NWT):
Thomas answers Jesus: “My Lord and my God!”
Jesus does not correct him. Instead:
John 20:29 (NWT):
Jesus commends his faith: “Because you have seen me, have you believed?”
Contrast this with others:
Angels refuse worship (Revelation 22:8–9).
Peter refuses worship (Acts 10:25–26).
Paul refuses worship (Acts 14:11–15).
But Jesus accepts both the title “my God” and the implied worship.
If Thomas was wrong and guilty of blasphemy, Jesus should have corrected him. Instead, Jesus affirms his faith. That only makes sense if Thomas was right: Jesus truly is God.
The Father addresses the Son as God
Hebrews 1:8 (NWT) says about the Son:
“But about the Son, he says: ‘God is your throne forever and ever…’”
Even though the NWT twists the translation, the verse is clearly speaking of the Son in divine terms. In literally every sound translation, it reads, “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever,” and the context is unmistakably the Father speaking to the Son.
So in their own Bible, Jehovah uses divine language and titles for His Son.
8. Jesus receives prayer directly in the NWT
Jehovah’s Witnesses insist that prayer should be addressed only to Jehovah (the Father, in their understanding). Yet the NWT records direct prayer to Jesus.
Acts 7:59 (NWT):
As Stephen is being stoned, “he made this appeal: ‘Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.’”
This is prayer. It is an appeal in the moment of death.
The NWT also says Stephen was “full of holy spirit” at this moment (Acts 7:55).
So:
A man full of the Holy Spirit
Directs his dying prayer
To Jesus, asking Him to receive his spirit
If prayer belongs only to Jehovah, why is a Spirit-filled believer praying directly to Jesus?
Again, the simplest answer is:
Jesus is Jehovah, worthy to receive prayer, worship, and trust.
9. Summing it up: the NWT itself proves Jesus is Jehovah
Putting it all together, using only the NWT, we see:
Prophecies about Jehovah (Isaiah 40:3, Joel 2:32) are fulfilled in Jesus (John 1:23, Romans 10:13).
Jesus shares exclusive titles of Jehovah: “First and Last,” “Alpha and Omega.”
Jesus receives worship from angels and men, even though Jehovah shares His glory with no one.
Jesus is the Creator of all things, and nothing came into existence without Him—yet Jehovah says He created alone.
Jesus is called Savior, though Jehovah says besides Him there is no Savior.
Jesus is called “my God”, and He accepts it.
The Father speaks of the Son in divine terms (Hebrews 1:8).
Jesus receives direct prayer from Stephen.
This is not a minor issue. It’s not a small disagreement about wording.
It is a direct collision between what the Watchtower teaches and what their own Bible actually says.
If a Jehovah’s Witness accepts the NWT as God’s Word, then they must face this:
The Jesus of the NWT is not Michael the Archangel, not a created “mighty god,” not a lesser deity.
He is Jehovah, the eternal Creator, Savior, and Lord.
To deny that is not merely to disagree with “Christendom”; it is to resist the clear testimony of their own Scriptures.
And that is why, when you patiently walk them through these passages in their own translation, they often never come back.
Because the NWT itself overwhelmingly proves:
Jesus is Jehovah.

Here are 6 prompts that turn your job hunt into a strategy.
[Save this thread]
My Dad went on a spiritual journey for me.
While I was still in school, there was this guy who was obsessed with me.
It wasn't normal, and I hadn't experienced it before.
He would send me endless cryptic messages, tell me he wanted to marry me, and, in the same vein, threaten me that I didn't have a choice.
For the first few weeks, I kept it to myself, but he sent me one particular message, and I knew right there that it was beyond me.
So I went into my Dad’s home office and told him everything that’s been happening and showed him all the messages.
That same week, this guy came to my parents' house, demanded to see me, and nobody opened the gate for him.
He slept outside all night long.
When we woke up in the morning, he was there.
That was the scariest thing I had experienced up to that point.
It was clear that he had a mental illness.
I can't quite recall all the measures my dad took to protect me, but I can not forget one thing he did.
He went on a 7-day fast.
He did the first 3 days dry and had only liquids until day 7.
He also had vigils every night without involving me or anyone else.
Even though I had the problem, I had full meals during that period.
After those 7 days, I did not hear from this guy again.
Not one message, not an appearance, nothing.
My Dad is my superhero.
He would always say, a time will come in your life when your human capabilities and knowledge will fail you.
Don't forget to keep God central in your life.
That was one of the miracles I experienced in my life, and I have my Dad to thank for it.

No matter the opposition or past doubts, Christ’s power is greater than any fear. The Great Commission commands us to go and make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:19-20).
We trust in His presence, promises, and the transforming power of the Gospel He works through your testimony to bring others to salvation. Stand firm, speak boldly, and rely on His strength (Acts 4:29-31). Keep us in your prayers!
