Jesus unto your coming we await, Maranatha.

[Timothy Ngiri 🇰🇪 @Ngiritim]

Christ has come—the ultimate Sacrifice. Former order of priesthood set aside.

We are now called upon to renounce every altar but the Cross, and every sacrifice but the Victim who bled on Calvary.

Now in spiritual priesthood, we “present our bodies a living sacrifice.”

"God can't become a man."

That was one of my first objections as a Muslim.

I thought I was defending God's greatness.

In reality, I was limiting Him.

Think about it.

God can create a universe out of nothing.

Split the sea.

Raise the dead.

Form Adam from dust.

But becoming a man?

That's where we draw the line?

The issue was never that God couldn't do it.

The issue was that I couldn't accept that He loved us enough to.

Because if God became man, then He didn't stay distant.

He stepped into the dirt.

Into the suffering.

Into the blood.

That's not weakness.

That's authority wearing flesh.

That's glory with a heartbeat.

And when I finally cried out, "God, if You're real, show me who You are," I wasn't met by a God far away.

I met a Savior with scars.

A God holy enough to judge sin, yet loving enough to enter our world and carry it Himself.

Emmanuel doesn't mean "God far off."

It means "God with us."

And He is still alive.

[Shahriq Khan @RealShahriqKhan]

When I was Muslim, I knew the story in Surah 2.

King Saul leads his army out, God tests them at a river — don’t drink, or you’re not with me — and only a few pass. Then they fight, and David kills Goliath. Surah 2:249-251.

Clean story. Until you open the Bible and find that the river test isn’t Saul’s at all.

It’s Gideon’s. Judges 7.

God tells Gideon his army is too big. So he tests them at the water. The men who lap like a dog go one way, the men who kneel go another. God whittles 32,000 men down to 300, so Israel can’t brag that they won by their own strength.

That’s the test. And it belongs to GIDEON. A judge. About 150 years BEFORE Saul was ever king.

You know what shook me?

The Quran took Gideon’s water test, pinned it on Saul, and then stitched the David and Goliath battle onto the end of it.

Two separate stories, from two different centuries, fused into one.

It’s the exact same thing the Quran does with Moses and Jacob. Take a detail from one hero, glue it onto another, compress the timeline.

I used to say the Bible mixed things up.

But the Bible keeps Gideon and Saul as two distinct men, 150 years apart, with two distinct stories.

It’s the later book that merged them.
And here’s what I couldn’t ignore.

Gideon’s 300 won so that no one could boast. The whole point was: the victory is God’s, not yours.

That’s the Gospel in advance. You don’t win by your strength. You win by His.

“Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord.” Zechariah 4:6.

The Bible kept the story straight because the story was going somewhere.

It was going to a cross, where God won the victory alone, so no one could ever boast they saved themselves.

A perfect role model is one who is modelled after the character and stature of Christ. “Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.” (1 Cor 11:1)

[Timothy Ngiri 🇰🇪 @Ngiritim]

“Give me Christ and His Cross rather than the world and its crown!”

[Timothy Ngiri 🇰🇪 @Ngiritim]

"The church should watch out not to worship the world or dress itself in the gorgeous robes of worldly greatness."

[Timothy Ngiri 🇰🇪 @Ngiritim]

'The true rest of man, the stillness of the weary spirit in the everlasting arms. This is the only repose which is independent of outward circumstances. Even amidst the outer toil and distraction of the world, it is “the peace of God which keeps the heart and mind.”' #Bi

Man is made for Christ and "his heart is restless, till it rests in Christ."

~ History of the Christian Church (Philip Schaff)

[Timothy Ngiri 🇰🇪 @Ngiritim]

"For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God." (I Cor 1: 18 NKJV)

We strip the gospel of its power when we neglect its very heart—the message of the cross.

[Timothy Ngiri 🇰🇪 @Ngiritim]

Like David, the path marked out for us may be dark and dangerous, but God sees us, will lead us, and will defend us. His cause and purpose cannot be defeated (1 Sam. 19).

[Timothy Ngiri 🇰🇪 @Ngiritim]

“He is not here: for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay,” Mat 28:6 KJV

This is one of the grandest news ever heard—esp to those who believe. For as said, “And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.” 1Co 15:14

[Timothy Ngiri 🇰🇪 @Ngiritim]

In Numbers 29, God gives instructions about daily, monthly, and annual sacrifices, which were to be faithfully offered without fail. This is indicative of our continual devotion to God and our constant focus on the cross of Christ, to which all those sacrifices pointed.

[Timothy Ngiri 🇰🇪 @Ngiritim]

"The safest thing in all the world to do is to trust the Lord."

[Timothy Ngiri 🇰🇪 @Ngiritim]

Everything in the old priestly order had to be perfect including priests (Lev 21:17). This was to typify the One who was to come—perfect and without blemish—who would offer far better sacrifice as the Lamb of God n serve as the perfect Great High Priest, the Lord Jesus Christ.

[Timothy Ngiri 🇰🇪 @Ngiritim]

It is wrong theology to teach that you cannot or will not suffer because you are in Christ, or that suffering is a sign that you lack faith or have sinned.

[Rep. Nancy Mace @RepNancyMace]

If three mosques every day were being torched anywhere on Earth, the U.N. would be in an emergency session by morning.

But for Christians?

SILENCE.

[Mike Arnold @MikeArnoldTruth]

Meanwhile, 4+ Million innocent Nigerians (largely widows and orphans) are denied, deprived, slandered and ground into the dirt by the Nigerian government every day for more than a decade - and they have nothing to repent for except being eyewitnesses to genocide and being Christian (80%+) and peaceful Muslims.

No justice, no peace.

[Rep. Riley M. Moore @RepRileyMoore]

Christians are being persecuted and killed in Nigeria for professing their faith in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

The killings must stop.

That’s why I’m urging @SecRubio to designate Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern. We must use every diplomatic tool to end this horrific slaughter of our brothers and sisters in Christ.

[Nancy Pearcey @NancyRPearcey]

Stop the genocide of Christians in Nigeria!

[Voice of the Martyrs @VOM_USA]

Nigeria: Pray that Christians, through God's grace, will be able to forgive their persecutors, some of whom are their neighbors.
