“If Jesus was God, why did He cry?”
When I was Muslim, I used to smirk at the shortest verse in the Bible. A crying God? Weak.
“Jesus wept.” John 11:35. Two words. It should bring you to your knees.
Then I actually read WHERE He’s standing.
At the tomb of His friend Lazarus. And here’s the part that undoes me: He’s about to raise him. In sixty seconds He’ll shout that dead man back to life. The victory is already loaded.
And He weeps ANYWAY.
He didn’t have to. The happy ending was already in His hand.
But He looked at the grief around Him — the sisters, the mourners, the sheer wreckage that death makes of everything — and He entered it. He let it hit Him. God, with tears running down His face, at the graveside of someone He loved.
The God of Islam was too majestic to weep. I was proud of that. Until I met a God who was strong enough to.
“We do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses.” Hebrews 4:15.
Whatever you’re burying right now — He’s not watching from a safe distance.
He’s the God who weeps at gravesides.
And then empties them.
Now you and me get to rejoice forever with our Lord Jesus Christ.
You know what shook me when I was Muslim?
The story of Hosea. God tells a prophet to marry a woman He knows will betray him.
She does. She runs to other men. She ends up enslaved, sold, used up, worthless to the world.
And God tells Hosea to go BUY HER BACK.
To pay money for his own wife who cheated on him, and love her again. Hosea 3.
I thought it was the most humiliating command in the Bible. Why would any man do that?
Then I realized I was the wife.
I gave my heart to everything but God. I chased other masters. I sold myself cheap. I made myself worthless.
And God looked at me, the betrayer, and didn’t say “you’re not worth it.”
He said, “Name the price. I’m buying her back.”
That’s the Gospel. God doesn’t wait for the unfaithful to come crawling back clean.
He pays to redeem them while they’re still dirty.
Islam told me to make myself worthy of God.
Hosea showed me a God who pays to redeem the unworthy.
The cross was Him naming the price.
Praise the Lord.

@pens_and_tots@Jevrix9 I see where you're coming from, but honestly, it doesn't always happen that way. As humans, we tend to take many things for granted. For example, in this situation, if she had spoken up, what would they have done for her? Most likely just say "it's her job" or something
@Chioma__Amadi Thank you so much for the opportunity
I'm Jemima, an administrative assistant and I'm open to remote roles like administrative assistance, virtual assistance and project management
My heart bleeds for the many killings and death in my nation!
I don’t even know which to post or report, many are too gory to see or share, they leave me with nights, days and moment of tears, sadness and at the same time prayers because I know what GOD has said and HE will always speak and warn ahead.
The benefits of knowing what what GOD has said is that, we will know how to prepare, be positioned and not become hopeless or faithless because THE WORD OF GOD cannot fail! It is this knowledge and understanding that keeps us going with all we hear, see and experience that is capable of making us break and quit.
Pls get your PVC, I have mine and look for the opportunity to vote if you get one.
I went to the polling unit to vote last election and I got injured from trying to escape thugs who invaded with different kinds of weapons and the police there doing nothing about it.
Regardless pls get your PVC but like I shouted before the last election, only GOD delivers from the hands of pharaohsssss because it’s not in them to let go or take their hands offf! They will rather die there.
I have been praying, I have been talking, I have been shouting!
The way forward is REPENTANCE because Nigeria’s case is now for GOD to judge and settle or by the way the judgement of the Nigerian Government is already settled, they can’t escape it!!
We the citizens have to repent from our wickedness of:
TRIBALISM:- Rather than see ourselves as a nation, we see as tribes,
SELFISHNESS :-
selling our fellow citizens out for our own pocket and stomach, letting one 5kg sometimes 10kg bag of rice determine four years of pain and hardship or join and rejoicing,
BRIBERY:- Collecting bribe in secret and then coming out to talk down on the pain and hardship of your fellow citizens and support evil and bad governance.
And the list goes on……
WE NEED TO REPENT!!!!
One thing I know and it’s for sure is that GOD CAN NEVER FAIL, HIS word will come to pass Nigeria 🇳🇬 will rise, Nigeria 🇳🇬 will stand and Nigeria 🇳🇬 will proper by GOD!
But who will enjoy this new Nigeria 🇳🇬?
Those on the LORD’S side and not on the side of evil because many will be swept away.
