Stop feeding yourself lies
The more you force a lie down your own throat, regardless of what reality is, the more you convince yourself to see things and alter what they truly represent.
A spider is a spider until you convince yourself that it is a demonic agent and alter its perception in your mind
A bird is a bird until you convince yourself that it is a witch and alter its perception in your mind
A woman is a woman until you convince yourself she is the love of your life and alter what she truly represent in your mind
A man is a man until you convince yourself he is the man of your dreams and alter what he truly represents in your mind
A politician is a politician until you convince yourself he is a messiah and alter what he truly represents in your mind
Money is money until you convince yourself it is something you must have at all costs and alter what it truly represents in your mind
Once you alter what something represents, you trick your mind into assigning meanings and emotions to things, and when you see a spider, you could become afraid because you have convinced yourself it is a demon attacking you
When you see a bird, you become scared because you assume witches are monitoring you
You are the one tricking your mind not to take things as they truly are
Somebody uses a charm on a foreigner, and it has no effect on him because what he saw was a leaf being thrown at him
They throw the same leaf at you, and in two minutes you are breaking out with poxes
Your mind is tricking your body into sickness, affliction and death
Stop lying to yourself, when you do, you destroy your defences against the truth and alter your own perception of reality

Deception and Harm
If someone intentionally deceives you or causes you harm — whether emotional or physical — that behaviour is completely unacceptable.
Healthy relationships are built on mutual respect and care. When someone deliberately hurts or takes advantage of you, they’re showing you they don’t respect your worth or your boundaries.
Keeping your distance from such individuals is essential for protecting yourself.
Small by small all pastors and alll believers will see the truth
Think about it.
It's easier to believe in "once saved, always saved" because it's written all over the Bible.
"Whoever believes shall not perish but have everlasting life" — evidence 1.
"They have passed from death to life" — evidence 2.
"No one can snatch them out of My hand because the Father is greater than all" — evidence 3.
"Nothing can separate us from God's love" — evidence 4.
"He who started the good work will complete it" — evidence 5.
"He is able to keep us from falling and present us blameless" — evidence 6.
"You are sealed with the Holy Spirit" — evidence 7.
"You have received the Holy Spirit as the guarantee (engagement ring) that you belong to the Lord" — evidence 8.
And there is not a single verse that explicitly says a believer loses salvation. There is not a single verse that says a regenerated believer lost eternal life. There is not a single verse that mentions a true believer who lost salvation or eternal life using those literal words not theological conclusions of men, but explicit statements.
The Modus Operandi Of Weak Men
One thing I’ve noticed about weak men is that they confuse getting a reaction with having power.
To them, making someone angry is winning.
Making someone defensive is winning.
Making someone explain themselves is winning.
Making someone lose their composure is winning.
It’s a strange way to live.
Because real power doesn’t require an audience.
Weak men are constantly searching for one.
They provoke.
They insult.
They gossip.
They spread rumors.
They make passive-aggressive comments.
They look for emotional buttons to press.
Not because they’re strong.
Because they need proof that they can still affect another person’s emotional state.
A reaction becomes their validation.
I’ve watched this happen countless times.
A man says something disrespectful.
Then he sits back and waits.
He’s hoping you’ll explode.
Raise your voice.
Start arguing.
Lose control.
The moment you do, he feels victorious.
Not because he won the argument.
Because he successfully rented space inside your mind.
That was the goal all along.
Weak men don’t create.
They provoke.
They don’t build.
They disrupt.
They don’t improve themselves.
They spend their energy trying to pull other people down to their emotional level.
It’s easier than climbing.
I think this is why emotionally disciplined men make certain people so uncomfortable.
You can’t manipulate someone who refuses to react.
You can’t intimidate someone who stays composed.
You can’t control someone who isn’t emotionally dependent on your approval or your insults.
Silence is incredibly frustrating to people who feed off reactions.
Indifference is even worse.
I’ve found that nothing irritates an insecure man more than realizing he can’t get under your skin.
He’ll try harder.
He’ll become louder.
He’ll make bigger accusations.
He’ll throw sharper insults.
Why?
Because the reaction is what he’s chasing.
Without it, he feels powerless.
The irony is that many people mistake loudness for confidence.
They assume the man making the most noise must be the strongest.
I usually assume the opposite.
The strongest men I’ve met rarely feel the need to prove they’re strong.
They don’t enter every argument.
They don’t respond to every insult.
They don’t feel obligated to defend their ego every five minutes.
They have better things to do.
Real strength is remarkably quiet.
It doesn’t need constant recognition.
It doesn’t need applause.
It certainly doesn’t need to manufacture conflict just to feel alive.
Weakness does.
Weakness constantly seeks external confirmation.
It needs attention.
It needs confrontation.
It needs emotional chaos because chaos creates the illusion of importance.
I’ve seen men destroy friendships, relationships, workplaces, and even families simply because they couldn’t tolerate being ignored.
Think about how fragile that is.
Another person’s indifference becomes unbearable.
So they create drama.
Anything to force engagement.
Anything to make themselves the center of someone else’s attention.
That isn’t dominance.
It’s dependency.
The older I get, the more I admire emotional restraint.
The ability to walk away.
The ability to stay calm when someone is trying to provoke you.
The ability to recognize bait without swallowing the hook.
That takes discipline.
Anyone can lose their temper.
Anyone can scream.
Anyone can retaliate.
Very few people can remain completely unaffected.
That’s where real strength lives.
Not in overpowering another person.
But in mastering yourself.
The truth is simple.
Weak men mistake emotional disruption for influence.
They believe that if they can make you angry, they’ve defeated you.
I think the opposite is true.
The moment someone can control your emotions with a few words, you’ve handed them temporary control over your mind.
That’s why I rarely react anymore.
Not because I don’t notice the bait.
Because I’ve learned that denying weak men the reaction they’re desperately chasing is often the clearest demonstration of strength.
And nothing exposes weakness faster than watching a man become frustrated because he couldn’t make another man lose his composure.
William Hunter (1851)
1 The great Physician now is near,
the sympathizing Jesus;
He speaks the drooping heart to cheer,
oh! hear the voice of Jesus.
Refrain:
Sweetest note in seraph song,
sweetest name on mortal tongue;
sweetest carol ever sung,
Jesus, blessed Jesus.
2 Your many sins are all forgiven,
oh! hear the voice of Jesus;
go on your way in peace to heaven,
and wear a crown with Jesus. [Refrain]
3 All glory to the risen Lamb!
I now believe in Jesus;
I love the blessed Savior's name,
I love the name of Jesus. [Refrain]
4 His name dispels my guilt and fear,
no other name but Jesus;
oh! how my soul delights to hear
the charming name of Jesus. [Refrain]

A wife would tell her friend how lucky she was to be married to a particular man
She would share all the benefits of her good fortune
Later, she would wonder why the same friend persuaded her husband to be her lover
An open mouth is like an open door
Anything can crawl in through it
@SisterOgoo@GbengaWemimo Are you aware of a particular Rev. Mrs that was using her husband experiences and marital infidelity of her husband as a message, today she has divorce her husband, the truth is there are topics that are not for public consumption
