The Holy Spirit is more than a comforter, He is the very intelligence of God. Imagine living life with access to the highest wisdom, guidance beyond logic, and insight that sees tomorrow. That’s the believer’s advantage.
Today is exactly one month since Borno & Oyo State schoolchildren were kidnapped! ONE WHOLE MONTH, & our children are not back!
They are eighty-one in number, including seven teachers. We lost a teacher in a beheading.
From public outcry to street protests. Then we move on. Please we shouldn’t forget them.
It’s the rainy season in Nigeria, they must be cold. There are mosquitoes, their immune system is not that strong. Then there is acute malnutrition otherwise called kwashiorkor.
There are waterborne diseases as well.
Diarrhea, malaria, acute malnutrition, etc. The children are dealing with all of these elements. Then there is the human factor — trauma in the form of constant trepidation. My paranoia is justified! They risk becoming child brides. Child marriage is not a thing to sweep under the rug.
Who is going to give them the closure they so desperately need? Closure is a psychological support to move on & achieve your life dreams.
I’m sure they have a bucket list, goals or things they want to achieve during their lifetime. I’m sure we have engineers, doctors, teachers, nurses, pilots, architects, etc among them.
This is their formative years. They shouldn’t miss out on a sheltered life; the promise of a better tomorrow. We shouldn’t forget them!
They stay in the bush so that politicians can soirée & party harder. Nigeria is the father that abandoned his children. Please remember them today & say a prayer for them. They remind us that Nigeria is a country of particular concern.
This is heartbreaking. This is solidarity. Children are praying for their friends to be rescued. A mother who is a teacher is crying for help. The significance of “May 15” is not lost on us.
They are our children dealing with adult problems. They shouldn’t become part of an ongoing statistics. I am only pleading.
At this point? Your silence will fail the children. PLEASE LEND YOUR VOICE TO THIS. 💔🙏
As a Muslim, there's something that genuinely bothers me.
Millions of Muslims live in Christian majority countries, build mosques, preach Islam publicly, distribute Qur'ans, open halal businesses, and demand religious freedom,and rightly so.
Some even call for aspects of Shariah to be accommodated in the societies they've moved to.
Yet in some Muslim majority countries, Christians cannot openly preach the Gospel, build churches freely, or practice their faith without restrictions.
Why?
If we demand religious freedom for ourselves, we should be willing to grant it to others.
Truth does not need censorship.
If Islam is the truth, it has nothing to fear from a church, a Bible, or a Christian preacher.
You can't demand tolerance and freedom for Muslims abroad while denying the same freedoms to others at home.
The double standard needs to be called out.
I have this chronic habit of intellectualizing my grief because it's so much easier to treat my sadness like an interesting psychological case study than it is to just sit on the floor and feel the stupid, primitive ache of missing someone..
The irony is that prosperity often reveals whether a man truly loved GOD or merely needed HIM.
Israel cried out passionately in the wilderness, but once they entered abundance, many forgot the LORD. This is why GOD repeatedly warned Israel:
“Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God…” (Deuteronomy 8:11)
If moving to America reduced your prayer life, America did not become your god; comfort did. America simply exposed what your prayer life was built upon.
The highest form of prayer is not, “GOD, give me.”
The highest form of prayer is, “GOD, I want YOU.”
A man who has discovered GOD will still pray when every earthly need has been met, because prayer is not sustained by desperation alone; it is sustained by love.
It is unfortunate that many think otherwise.
Little children are in the kidnappers den in the forest, 1st Lady, Remi Tinubu is sharing campaign vehicles on TV for her husband’s relection?
A soulless family.
my parents are pastors in RCCG so this gaslighting from their pr arm is very laughable. when Osigbanjo was about to enter, the number of sermons about “the righteous being in power” by their political arm were crazy and subtly bolstering confidence in the Buhari candidacy
Your pastors are preparing their sermon this Sunday and it will be mostly on how “the gates of hell is launching an attack on the church in Nigeria”
You will come back to this tweet.
The same RCCG that many people say would not ordain you as a pastor if your spouse is not a member of the church is the same RCCG that ordained Remi Tinubu as a pastor despite her husband not being a Christian.
We're not calling out that church enough.
Today, Sunday, 2nd of February, 2020, members of the Redeemed Christian Church of God led by her General Overseer, Pastor E. A. Adeboye, embarked on a prayer walk that will usher in a new dawn in our dear country, Nigeria.
Maturing is realizing that Patience Jonathan was one of the most impactful First Ladies in Nigeria’s history. She couldn’t express herself very well in English, but she managed to pass her message across everytime.
She had empathy.
She’s 100x the woman Remi Tinubu will never be.
Little CHILDREN got kidnapped by bandits and are beaten up mercilessly everyday and the Nation is silent. No shutdown.
A struggling community teacher was kidnapped in Oyo State and beheaded, gruesomely murdered and the NUT and the entire Yoruba nation is silent.
Unimaginable!
