When I was Muslim, I never noticed what the Quran doesn’t have.
Dates. Places. Names you can check.
Read the Quran’s stories: no chronology, almost no geography, kings called only “Pharaoh,” events floating in no particular year.
Where did the story happen? When? Under whom? The text doesn’t say. You can’t check it… which conveniently means you can’t crosscheck it.
Now read the opening of Luke 3:
“In the FIFTEENTH YEAR of the reign of TIBERIUS CAESAR — PONTIUS PILATE being governor of JUDEA, HEROD being tetrarch of GALILEE, his brother PHILIP tetrarch of ITUREA and TRACHONITIS, and LYSANIAS tetrarch of ABILENE, during the high priesthood of ANNAS and CAIAPHAS…”
SEVEN historical anchors in one sentence.
An emperor, a governor, three rulers with their exact territories, two high priests.
And people HAVE checked — for centuries, often trying to break it. Skeptics mocked Luke’s “Lysanias of Abilene” as an error…
UNTIL an inscription naming Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene turned up.
Pilate was called legend by some… until the Pilate Stone was dug up at Caesarea in 1961 with his name and title carved in it.
Luke 1:3-4 tells you why: “Having followed all things closely… that you may have CERTAINTY.”
Certainty. That’s the offer.
One book floats above history where nothing can touch it.
The other planted its flag in checkable ground and said: dig.
They dug. It’s still standing.
Praise the Lord and His mighty God-Breathed scripture.
"They seized my baby and sliced him in two with a knife.
My second child woke up ... They split his head with a machete."
THIS IS THE REALITY FOR NIGERIAN CHRISTIANS.
When will the world wake up?!
"We must spread Christianity in the North and nobody can stop us because jesus is the way, the truth, and the light"

When I still smoked, we had this spot around Garki marrket where we lit up. Myself, Fred, Leke & 'Vlad'. We were rolling up to smoke per usual one time when Leke suddenly said he felt wet all over like he had just taken a bath. He kept saying his shorts were soaked but we could-
Sitting among rows upon rows of spectator seating week after week …
Has nothing to do with church as the New Testament actually commands it.
So how do we help folks get out of this trap?
We need to boldly share our stories of relational participatory church as actually commanded in the New Testament, and what we’ve learned along the way …
To encourage others that they can indeed begin to be the church once again.
Otherwise, most people have no idea that it’s possible to leave spectator “church” behind …
And start gathering in living rooms and other places were life naturally happens, to minister one to another for the mutual building up of each other.
But how can you expect that to happen …
Unless we openly tell of our own journeys and experiences?
JUST IN: Secretary of State Marco Rubio announces "decisive action in response to the mass killings and violence against Christians by radical Islamic terrorists." A new policy under the Immigration and Nationality Act will restrict visas for individuals involved in religious persecution.
Islamic terrorists are taking more hostages (particularly women & children) to use as human shields and leverage in the event of U.S military action.
It's their playbook, as with Hamas, Al-Qaeda, Al-Shabab, ISIS etc.
Stay where you're safe, arm yourself and pray.
See How The Nigerian Government And The Nigerian Media Have Rubbished Nigeria, it is now international organizations who have been working with these victims that are telling the real stories of what’s happening to these people.
My Husband( Mr Believe Ubara) a Christian and responsible family man must be found.

HIS SON NEEDS HIM!
He turned age 33 fewdays ago
My vibrant loving husband cannot be forgotten like that
Nigerians come to my aid 🙏🙏🙏
If you have ears, do listen.
Insensitive journalists, practicing their journalism in Lagos and urban areas can't relate to what's going on the North.
Actually do your research and pay attention.
This is a fiasco between the core North versus the middle belt.
The Middle Belt of Nigeria is trying to find her feet and break free from the yoke of the "one monolithic north" and the Dan Fodio North.
They have lobbied in Powerful places and they are now getting the attention and help they wanted.
Don't sit in Lagos or Ibadan and be saying there is no genocide against indigenous people mostly Christians in the middle belt of Nigeria.
There are millions of Nigerians in the middle belt currently in IDP camps who have no hope to return to their homeland forever.
Everything is not APC versus PDP. This is life and death. The Igbos who are trying to insert themselves into this for political gains are only wasting their time. This is a battle for the soul of the middle belt.
This is a Life and death situation. Whatever happens to the middle belt, this people will not spare the Yoruba people of kwara and Kogi.
They are spreading and coming down. This is a Replay of Sudan.
We should leave America alone and fix our homes.
Yes sir.
The killing of innocent Christians in Nigeria — and anywhere — must end immediately. The Department of War is preparing for action. Either the Nigerian Government protects Christians, or we will kill the Islamic Terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities.
Prayers around the world for Nigerians Christians faith.
Revival is coming, we will rise again but this time strong.
Don't stop praying 🙏 for Nigeria 🇳🇬 Christmas that are still persecuted
