I’m grateful to God and the pillars of support in my life. This would have been impossible without them.

I say this to my kids all the time. Do it for the plot. Do it for the story. Tell yourself if it all goes wrong it will just be a funny story. Ironically job interviews, dates, and public speaking go better anyway if you're just happy to be there and not overthinking it!!
UK weather be like:
Monday: Heatwave, roads melting
Tuesday: Hailstone
Wednesday: That windy you're getting blown into another postcode.
Thursday: Sunny
Friday: Thunder and Lightning
Saturday: Freezing
Sunday: Sunny but everywheres flooding.
Our language around governance is so interesting in Nigeria. We talk like when someone wins an election, the money and resources of the state become their personal largesse and any progress or work that happens is because they’re kind enough to “dash” us.
Two people came back from school. Only one person was tasked with making soup for the family. The other wasn’t even expected to help carry plates, or assist in any way.
This is how entitled men are raised. They grow up believing domestic work is a woman’s responsibility, so they can sit at home or return from work hours before their wife and still expect her to come home and cook because it’s not their duty
A man's money is never your money.
i can't buy into this idea of marry rich or only date high value men cause there is zero security in any of that.
As a woman the only financial security you have is to make your own money and ensure you always have a way to make more!
The only thing I'll add to this conversation is that "I'm not a feminist but I believe in the equal rights of women and men" is something that really sounds nice on paper and protects you from opposition.
Whenever you speak up against inequality, misogyny, unfair systems, they will still ascribe the term feminist to you. And when they do that, they will mean that you're rebellious or aggressive.
It won't matter what you say you're not; what will matter is what you believe, and the limits others think they're allowed to demand of your belief.
There is also a conversation we need to have with Christian men.
Because some of you speak about women with an underhanded disdain that is deeply un-Christlike, then hide behind “biblical order” to justify it.
You cannot simply look at every Christian woman who resonates with feminism and dismiss her as rebellious. History has shown women have had reasons to fight. The Church is not entirely innocent in the abuse and silencing of women. We have sometimes weaponized Scripture instead of rightly dividing it.
Some women did not become angry because they hate God. They became angry because people used God against them.
There are women who have been talked down to, ignored, diminished, spiritually manipulated, and emotionally controlled in church spaces while men quoted “submission” at them like a threat.
And when women begin to push back against that, you cannot automatically label them rebellious without enough humility to ask:
“What exactly are they reacting to?”
Because even in Scripture, God did not condemn women who challenged systems.
The daughters of Zelophehad fought.
They contended.
They challenged a structure that disadvantaged them.
And God said:
“The daughters of Zelophehad speak right.” (Numbers 27:7)
Not rebellious.
Not dishonorable.
Not with the spirit of Jezebel…
Right.
Some of you need to realize that being male does not automatically make your interpretation superior.
Statements like:
“Woman was created later, therefore she is lesser,”
“Eve was deceived, therefore women are inferior,”
“Men are naturally superior because Adam came first,”
do not make you sound spiritually mature. They make you sound biblically unintelligent.
Genesis 1 says:
“Male and female created he them.”
God did not create woman as an afterthought. He had both genders in mind from the beginning.
And Genesis 2 is not about superiority.
It is about order.
Order does not mean value.
Christ and the Church have order.
The Father and the Son have order.
Order is not inferiority.
In fact, biblical leadership is not domination.
Christ never used His position to belittle the Church, He died for her.
So how did some Christian men become more arrogant than Christ?
You brandish submission like a weapon.
You speak about masculinity like it is superiority.
You talk about women as though leadership means lordship.
News flash, you are not a biblical male. You are carnally minded and we all know what that means.
To lead in our Kingdom is to serve. Where is your service?!
And if creation order is your argument for superiority, then goats should be greater than men because animals were created before Adam.
The logic collapses immediately.
The truth is many women are angry because they encountered distortion disguised as doctrine.
Male ego preached as theology.
Misogyny defended with proof texts.
And instead of constantly rushing to call women rebellious, maybe Christian men need enough self-awareness to ask:
“Have we represented Christ properly?”
Because many women are not rejecting Christ.
They are reacting to men who looked nothing like Him.
Love and Light… with a sprinkle of Holy Ghost Fire.
Lol because they didn’t do anything as governor for 8 years.
If you spent all that time actually governing a state, you won’t be running again immediately after.
Career criminals parading as politicians. Yuck
If you go for evangelism
Follow up disciples
Train them...
Consistently...
You won't have time to be doing amebo and checking what is happening in other churches.
E say "no flock belongs to a Pastor"
Lol 😂😂😂😂
Na wa.
It will be another long week.
And it looks like I'm not leaving CT soon.
Kids these days probably don’t even know how to make micro-adjustments to their font sizes and page margins.
Back in my day, half the fun was figuring out whether you could turn a 9-pager into a 10-pager without the teacher realizing you set Times New Roman to 12.3 pt.
