The painful truth is this…
If the average believer in Nigeria were to read the Book of Acts without the influence of our present culture, he would almost conclude that he was reading about an entirely different religion.
Somewhere along the journey… we changed the tune.
The Church in the Bible sang one song. The Church in Nigeria has gradually learned another.
The Church in the Bible sought conformity to CHRIST.
We seek acceptance from men. They raised disciples.
We have become experts at raising audiences.
The sound coming from our altars is no longer the sound that echoed through Jerusalem… through Antioch… through Ephesus… through the Church that “turned the world upside down.”
The frightening part is this…
A generation can become so accustomed to a substitute that it mistakes it for the original.
And perhaps that is where we are.
We have become familiar with a version of Christianity that the Apostles would scarcely recognize.
One of the greatest judgments that can befall a people is not that they abandon the Bible.
It is that they continue holding the Bible while no longer allowing the Bible to define them.
I fear this is where the Church in Nigeria now stands.
We still raise our Bibles. We still quote the Scriptures.
We still end every sermon with, “GOD bless you.” But somewhere between the Upper Room and our generation…
We changed the tune. Read the Book of Acts carefully.
Read the Epistles slowly. Read the words of our LORD without trying to defend our present condition.
Then ask yourself… Who changed? Because it certainly was not GOD. The Gospel has not changed.
The HOLY GHOST has not changed. The demands of discipleship have not changed.
The cost of following CHRIST has not become cheaper. We changed. We altered the sound.
If you are reading this, can you make a solemn vow to the LORD. Tell HIM, “You will commit Your entire life to ensuring that this Gospel will not change in your hands.”

They just pretend to be foolish because it pays in Nigeria. There’s one that was eating amala in Europe too. Smh!!!
Our study on Clarias gariepinus explores the Hepatosomatic Index (HSI) as a key biomarker for fish health, growth, and aquaculture sustainability.
Findings confirm HSI as a reliable indicator of physiological condition and culture performance in farmed fish.
Nassrawis… what a season. From day one, we knew what we wanted and what it would take to get there. We worked, fought and gave everything in every training and every game. It wasn’t an easy road, but we did it together. Thank you for believing in us and standing by our side every step of the way.
Not sure why people think Sowore is desperate for power. Attacking him for a "lack of structure" within a cr00ked system is no flex. It’s actually quite stvpid. Because, by this logic, Tinubu was the best candidate in 2023 since his structure was unmatched. How is it working out for you now?
Let me be clear, I don’t know Sowore personally. Never met him, and am not a member of his party. But from pure observation, it's obvious he's doing you lots a favor by offering a way out from the crïmïnal politicians you’ve become so accustomed to.
Quite ironic how everyone is suddenly an expert on political "structure." If that’s the case, how come your favorite, Peter Obi, is somehow being hailed as a messiah with his lack of substance and organizational foundation? Or how much of this "structure" does he have? Or do you all just value "structure" only when it's convenient?
Instead of appreciating a real alternative, you're all busy looking for every excuse to remain victims of the very people who caused your pain, mindlessly repeating the same script like z0mbïies. You reject a solution just so you can keep crying for a savior. It’s a pathetic cycle, and frankly, you deserve it.
@General_Somto And the last time I checked we are over 200 million people in this country, why must we be confined to always recirculate failed leaders over and over again, and if Sowore noticed this pattern and it’s against his beliefs, isn’t that a consistent leader ?
