"With the way this government is going, I may not even be alive to contest the 2027 election. Every single thing I do for a living, this government is deliberately frustrating. I face frustration every day. They recently locked my car at the airport."
—NDC presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi
Only Christians without any depth in their walk with the Holy Spirit argue about "Once saved, always saved vs Severally saved, never saved"
Salvation is a personal matter
Faith is a personal matter
You can receive your own salvation and lose it according to your faith
I have received my own salvation, and I cannot lose it according to my faith
The just shall live by faith
Live by yours, and I will live by mine
If you lose your salvation and you begin to search for it, you can be sure that it is not with me because I have mine.
Search for it among your friends who also have losable salvations
If they lose theirs, they may steal yours and repent later or even take it by force if they are violent enough
If when you read John 3:16, you see there that God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, and whosoever believes in him shall have "temporary" life, so be it.
We all read the same things, but our interpretations are subject to our biases
What you cannot do is ask me not to see that the scripture said "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whoever believes ih him shall have eternal life"
It is temporary to you
It is eternal to me
Just like love
Some can only love you for now
Some can love you for now and always
I understand those who cannot believe in the eternal nature of the finished works of Christ
I wonder why they don't understand those who believe in eternal salvation
Maybe eternal salvation offers a wisdom and a depth of love and understanding that temporary salvation does not offer.
Temporary salvation means you can never enter into the realm of the saved and just with confidence
Your visa might be revoked at any time and for any reason if you ever do anything wrong
For those of us with eternal salvation, we are citizens of Zion, ambassadors of Christ, and we walk boldly into the throne of Grace and obtain mercy whenever we need it.
This has granted us the confidence that a tourist cannot have
We call heaven home; we are not seeking asylum or vying for a visiting visa
We are citizens of Heaven.

When you're done sighing, you will also explain why the same US government sent its World Bank chief to hold a meeting with African vice-chancellors telling them to close down African universities and focus on primary education because tertiary education is not for Africans.
Continue sighing very well.
Person that the only thing inside your head is useless, impotent English. You don't understand anything about the world you live in.
There is a strange paradox in modern dating: the men with the strongest principles often have the hardest time building a stable personal life.
In theory, it should be the other way around. If a man is honest, dependable, loyal, caring, and willing to take responsibility, he should be exactly the kind of man women want for a serious relationship. He should be the one who builds a strong family, earns trust, and becomes someone’s safe place.
But real life often tells a different story.
Many men who are seen by others as decent, honorable, and genuinely good people remain single for years. Some go through painful divorces. Others step away from relationships completely after one deep disappointment too many.
And this is not just an empty observation pulled out of nowhere. A study from the University of Nicosia analyzed data from more than 13,400 men and studied their lifestyles over several years.
He came to the conclusion that men who are more kind, agreeable, good-natured, and reliable, the sort of men society often describes as “decent,” are more likely to remain alone and often have less romantic success with women.
At first, this seems illogical. Society constantly says that women value male reliability, loyalty, and responsibility. But when it comes to real relationships, it turns out that good qualities alone do not always guarantee personal happiness.
So why do men who seem like the best candidates for a serious relationship so often end up without a wife, a family, or a long-term partner?
It’s happened again:
A migrant was released from jail (charges dropped) and picked up by ICE.
ICE decides not to deport.
ICE drops migrant off far from home.
Migrant dies in the cold.
Manner of death: Homicide.
Nearly identical to Buffalo case.

@DoctorEris_@RealPostFolder Shocking but true. Had a lady friend, health worker, had sex for the first time and didn’t realize the condom was left in her with guys semen, she only realized 2 days later and had to be placed on IV antibiotics to get better
I am worthy of limitless success and boundless prosperity.
Every cell in my body radiates with perfect health, vitality, and strength. I am complete, whole, and overflowing with divine energy.
I affirm.
Today, I am a magnet for miracles, blessings, and extraordinary opportunities.
Wealth flows to me effortlessly from multiple sources. I attract abundance in all forms - financial prosperity, vibrant health, meaningful connections, and profound joy.
I ask you, my people, to empower me as your president and commander-in-chief. I will be in charge. I have the requirements for correct leadership: character, competence, commitment, compassion, hard work, honesty, humanity, and humility.
The "Praying Wife" Deceit!
There is nothing as unscriptural as the belief held by many Christian circles that a "praying wife" and or a "praying mother" is essential for the success of the husband or the children.
American Pentecostalism had always sold certain individuals' experiences within the context of religion as the "new thing" that everybody must buy or key into in order to make it in life.
Capitalism's influence on true spirituality sold performative religious rites as the norm rather than the exception.
Intercessory prayer is valid and acceptable as a form of prayer that believers must engage in, but in true Christianity, an arrangement where the wife is forever on her knees while her husband barely knows the Lord is not acceptable as a form of worship.
An arrangement where the mother is praying fervently while the children are living a life of little or no regard to God is not the arrangement Jesus gave his life for.
Job made sacrifices for his children daily, but the devil still killed them like flies. He didn't train the children to make sacrifices for themselves and know God for themselves.
The responsibility for any relationship lies in the hands of the two people who are in a relationship and not on a third party.
Imagine that you introduce a young man to a young lady, but neither of them shows any interest, and you, as the third party had to beg, pray, force, cajole, manipulate, convince, throw tantrums, negotiate, cry, and plead on behalf of one party so that the other party can be patient and wait and bless or be warm to the party.
How do you think that kind of a relationship will fare?
Mothers who didn't raise their children properly end up having crooks for children. To compensate for this, they end up taking up religion to pray and plead on behalf of their children in the place of prayer.
Carmela Corleone, the wife of Don Vito Corleone in The Godfather, was a classic example of this.
A mother who raised her children properly would only bless them as they walk with God, and her children shall give her peace and become successful in all their endeavours.
Salvation is a personal thing, and having a relationship with God is a very personal thing. A father's faith cannot grant salvation to the son, a mother's salvation does not cover her children, and a wife's devotion does not count for her husband.
Again, A father, mother, or wife can intercede in the place of prayer for a loved one. Intercession could buy time, delay evil from befalling the individual, cause the person to be favoured to get a job, a contract, or a visa, but these are temporary fixes.
What God desires is to have a relationship with every one of us without any form of intermediary or proxy "standing in the Gap".
God does not want that GAP to exist at all.
All those standing in it are occupying an office that should not exist for that purpose.
For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that WHOSOEVER believe in him should not perish but have everlasting life.
Faith is a personal thing.
I have come across many men who say, "My wife is a prayer warrior; she is the one praying for me to succeed, and her prayers are effective over my destiny."
They say this when things are going well for them.
When things go sour for them in their career or business, they lash out at their wives, "Your mates are praying for their husbands, you are here pressing your phone. What is God saying? Tell me what the pastor said, pray that I get this contract, and I will buy you a car, etc."
I have seen wives who claim that it is their prayer that made their husband successful. This claim is a fallacy!
The first woman I know who made the claim was very fervent in the place of prayer. Her husband was an average person until he got an opportunity to travel to the USA.
When he got to the USA, he married another wife, and his wife in Nigeria stopped praying for him out of anger over being betrayed.
The man became richer and richer. The more the man became successful, the more this woman became bitter and resentful.
She felt God ought to stop blessing the man, but it didn't work that way, and the man was not a believer.
I see many people writing erroneously that their wives are their spiritual backbone! This is foolishness!
Nobody can be another person's spiritual backbone!
Ignorance makes people claim things that are not real as real, even though there is no scriptural backing for such.
I have seen wives who claimed that when they stopped praying for their husbands, he stopped prospering.
I have seen mothers who claimed that when they stopped praying for their children, they stopped prospering.
When I investigated the claim, it was a lie.
God did not put anybody's right to prosper in the hands of a third party. Your destiny is in your own hands!
If a wife's duty is to pray for her husband to succeed in life, then the man should marry many wives so that he can have a harem of prayer warriors lifting him up spiritually every day. Isn't that ridiculous?
Where we ought to train, we shouldn't pray! Parents must establish their children in a relationship with God (Not religion), and Spouses should establish their other halves in a relationship with God (Not religion).
Everybody must know God for themselves.
How can a man be expected to give an account of his life before God when his wife or his mother is the one who has been in charge of his spiritual well-being?
It is good to have a supportive spouse who prays with you and prays for you out of love, but this prayer is not to be taken as a substitute for the spouse having a relationship with God himself or herself.
I met a lawyer recently who was an orphan until she met this twenty-five years old man at the University of Ibadan at the age of 17.
She said she needed a mentor at the time, and he was in his final year and a member of the Christian fellowship she was attending.
He took an interest in her, and she leaned on him.
He graduated and kept in touch while she continued to study with the aid of a scholarship.
He didn't get a job after graduation and had to move back to his parents' house
She crowdfunded for law school and became successful through her hard work, grit, and relationship with God
She got a job, rented an apartment, and started building her career. This man, who started sleeping with her when she was nineteen, moved in with her.
She started feeding him and providing for him.
He told her she was his ministry
God had called him to be her personal spiritual backing, and without his prayer, she wouldn't have become as successful as she was.
This lady wrote to me asking if a born-again Christian who has a relationship with God needed God to give her such a man whose sole job was to pray for her while she makes the money and splits her earnings with him
She is very intelligent, but sometimes intelligence bows to manipulation without the right perspective.
Many Christians like her are suffering from the lies of prophets, pastors, spiritualists, marabouts, and spouses who convinced them that their relationship with God is inadequate in itself. "If not for my prayer and spiritual backing for you, you would not be this successful." This is manipulation at its best.
She was able to break free of him, and she is flying higher and higher daily in Christ today.
You have an audience of ONE
I have an audience of ONE.
My walk with God is personal
Your walk with God is personal
I have a relationship with God
You have a relationship with God
This is what true Christianity is: a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

Fellow Nigerians, good morning.
I woke up this morning after my church service with a deeply reflective heart, and despite every constraint, I felt compelled to share these thoughts with you.
Many people do not truly understand the silent pains some of us carry daily—the private struggles, emotional burdens, and quiet battles we face while trying to survive and serve sincerely in difficult circumstances.
We now live in an environment that has become increasingly toxic, where the very system that should protect and create opportunities for decent living often works against the people—a society where intimidation, insecurity, endless scrutiny, and discouragement have become normal.
More painful is when some of those you associate with, believing you would find understanding and solidarity among them, become part of the pressure you face. Some who publicly identify with you privately distance themselves or join in unfair criticism.
We live in a society where humility is mistaken for weakness, respect is seen as a lack of courage, and compassion is treated as foolishness—a system where treating people equally is questioned simply because you refuse to worship status, tribe, class, or power.
Personally, I have never looked down on anyone except to uplift them. I have never used privilege, position, or resources to oppress others, intimidate the weak, or make people feel small. To me, leadership has always been about service, sacrifice, and helping others rise.
Let me state clearly: my decision to leave the ADC is not because our highly respected Chairman, Senator David Mark, treated me badly, nor because my leader and elder brother, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, or any other respected leaders did anything personally wrong to me. I will continue to respect them.
However, the same Nigerian state and its agents that created unnecessary crises and hostility within the Labour Party that forced me to leave now appear to be finding their way into the ADC, with endless court cases, internal battles, suspicion, and division, instead of focusing on deeper national problems and playing politics built more on control and exclusion than on service and nation-building.
Even within spaces where one labours sincerely, one is sometimes treated like an outsider in one’s own home. You and your team become easy targets for every failure, frustration, or misunderstanding, as though honest contribution has become a favour being tolerated rather than appreciated.
And when you choose to leave so that those you are leaving can have peace, and you step out into the cold, you are still maligned and your character is questioned. Despite all your efforts to continue working for a better Nigeria and engaging people with sincerity and goodwill, those who do not wish you well continue to attack your character and question your intentions.
There are moments I ask God in prayer: Why is doing the right thing often misconstrued as wrongdoing in our country? Why is integrity not valued? Why is the prudent management of resources, especially when invested in critical areas like education and healthcare, wrongly labelled as stinginess? Why are humility and obedience to the rule of law often taken to be weakness rather than discipline?
Let me assure all that I am not desperate to be President, Vice President, or Senate President. I am desperate to see a society that can console a mother whose child has been kidnapped or killed while going to school or work. I am desperate to see a Nigeria where people will not live in IDP camps but in their homes. I am desperate for a country where Nigerian citizens do not go to bed hungry, not knowing where their next meal will come from.
Yet, despite everything, I remain resolute. I firmly believe that Nigeria can still become a country with competent leadership based on justice, compassion, and equal opportunity for all.
A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO
Ten years ago today, I sat down at my office and took a stock of my life.
I didn’t like the direction my life was going
Poverty had a chokehold on me
I began to fret, because I was just a few years away from turning forty and all the potentials I had shown since childhood had refused to bear fruit in my adulthood
I had given birth to my children in poverty
They were attending the cheapest school I could find
I had a job that could best be described as that of a glorified messenger
I had a degree that had not brought me any profit
My life was a hard and unpleasant one
Added to that I developed a mysterious illness and the doctors told me I had six months to live
I was a pastor, a born again Christian and I was living that “It shall get better in the by and by” life
I turned to the Lord and I had a conversation with him
When Lord will Jacob become Israel?
When Lord will potential turn to manifestation?
The Lord said “I told you your destiny in 2007, you chose to live like others and not as I have ordained you to live.
Hence, this battered life
There is a space for you, preserved for you in destiny, if you will embrace it.
I said “I am ready Lord, what do I do?”
He told me simple things…
Read that Bible daily for two hours
Pray in the Spirit daily for two hours
Start praying for people and nations as an intercessor
Stop complaining and start appropriating my blessings to your destiny
I obeyed.
Today is the ten years anniversary of my freedom from rebellion
I embraced obedience and the course of my life changed forever
It is not too late to do the same.
There is a destiny for you in Christ, it is not difficult to fulfil but you must be willing to trust and obey.
Happy Birthday, GSW!
Dealing With Your Partner's Divine Call?
Husband was earning big in the corporate world of the UK
His Wife was a sugarbaby
Husband then turns 50, and he got a call from God to go into ministry
Wife was like Noooooo
Where will all my Gucci and Balenciaga lifestyle disappear to
Husband was vexed and resigned his job to follow God
Wife vexed that husband resigned...
Marriage became very rocky
She reached out, and I listened to her with a lot of laughter in my belly
I understand the husband
I also understand the wife
They will be fine
The contract of marriage is for better or for worse
For richer, for poorer
In corporate or in ministry...
She is now to redefine and become a pastor’s wife
That is the new path her husband has chosen, and if she still wants the marriage, she has to follow him
I am happy she is willing
We debate these things daily and often
God knows how to throw curveballs
I mean, it is God's specialty
It’s so true, and it’s often the lack of acknowledging that (talkless of managing it properly) that leads to the issues that follow
We must learn, however, to catch what God throws; it is always for our good
I understand the woman’s plight, but she should calm down and imagine how tough it is for the caller. I can’t imagine that it’s easy for the called too, just that the Caller is faithful.
A high percentage of women whose husbands became pastors after marriage didn't find it easy, but I tell you, once they embrace it, you would think they are the ones called.
Men are different from women in every way
We operate both as individuals and as husbands, and then as fathers
When God called Moses, he called him as a man
That is always how divine call operates
It is always individualistic in nature
And it is almost always for immediate engagement
As if God did not see or know that there are others whose decisions would be affected for good or ill
The call of God is the most perturbing thing to anyone who has experienced it
It is like swallowing a pestle
You won’t be able to sit or stand
Your nights will be plagued with all sorts of restlessness and restless stirrings
If you have not been in those shoes before, you will never understand it
This is not a change in career path...
This is not a choice
This is not a midlife crisis
This is hell unleashed in one's bosom, with the instruction that one should not shout
Until you obey that call, you will never know what a good night’s sleep is ever again
The only thing that can give you any form of solace is the thought of death
It is either you obey, or you die
That is how it feels in truth
It also changes you
Strips you of the usual understanding and sentimental trappings of your life
Money, children, wife, parent, people's opinion, responsibility, duty, sense, logic
You lose everything
You become numb because you have been conditioned or reprogrammed to follow this one path
So here you are as a man.
Able and empowered to obey this call all by yourself.
It is the only thing that matters to you now
It is the only thing that makes life worth living for you
As a husband, your wife is suffering through it
Your transformation is a threat to her life
To her joy and fulfilment
Your choice is taking her on a journey out of stability and a certain lifestyle to another strange direction
She asks you what is going on
You say, "I have been called by God, and I am resigning my job to follow this call.”
What about us? What about the children? What about our plans? Do I have a say in this matter? Has it all been decided? Can we do this gradually? Can we get counselling? Can we take it slowly??
She is talking to a man who has been stripped of those options
God didn’t give this man an option
God called him
It is like trying to reason with a flood; it didn’t cause itself, and it will sweep whatever stands in its path away without remorse
Nothing anybody says will work
Nothing!
He cannot be reasonable; he cannot be sensible
He has been stripped of all reason
I always take a look at Moses and Zipporah
How did that woman cope until she couldn't cope anymore?
Her husband literally died to her from the day he heard the call of God
Their stable life and ordered life were replaced by journeys after journeys
First trip to Egypt
Then the confrontation with Pharaoh
Then the trip back to Horeb
With this man disappearing into the mountain tops
Forty days here
Forty days there
She had no husband left
He became to her a total stranger
Counselling people day and night
It is a tough thing to be married to such a man
That is the truth
Who raised the children of Moses?
They were terrible children
Aaron's children were better
He was a priest, and the nature of his call was very different from that of Moses
So, like every priest, he enjoyed stability
Moses didn’t
Today he was in the tent of meeting, tomorrow on the mountain, next tomorrow he will be under the cloud, his face was shining so much that he had to wear a veil
It was tough
So the practical solution is to leave him or to believe in him to the extent that, as a woman, you embrace this stranger and his ways without question
If you embrace his ways, you will change too
You will become more and more like him
It will mean that everything you knew and loved would change
You will lose many things in order to gain many things
But this period usually doesn’t last for too long
Like pregnancy, the period between incubation and rebirth is usually within the first five years
The power in that man will replace everything you have lost and replace every person you have lost along the way
While you were just a member of something in your past life, you will become a leader of something in this life
That was the point God was trying to make all along
The call makes you a leader of vision, and those who will be called into that call will be a part of that vision
Your total commitment is required if people are to also commit totally to that vision
Nobody likes to follow someone who is not sure of where they are going
Once the first five years of obedience are done, you and your husband will have become transformed to the point that those who knew you five years ago would practically not recognize you again
It is not a choice you made, but it is a choice to follow the one who is the way to your destination
Before somebody says the husband should have communicated better....
Please imagine Moses trying to communicate his call while stammering to Zipporah
Please imagine it
Especially the stammer...
Remember also that he was a wanted fugitive who wanted to go back to Egypt
And that he was taking her away from her father's palace, where she had lived all her life
There is no way to communicate the call
It’s like asking someone who needs to urgently go to the restroom to read Psalm 119
What the wife should do is very simple
It is called Support
She may not jump on the bandwagon outright
It is normal to be skeptical
What does support entail? And is it fine to step in gradually? Should she be bothered about other people having a certain profile in their head about the position/role she should occupy
But a word of support, buy books, hug, say you understand, encourage him, don’t let it be all about you and your needs, etc
It has to be GOD now
Your language has to be we will do God's will
All the adjustments that ought to be done with the family's finances pls do it
Sell that big house for a smaller one and save the money
Don't nag him, he will only get irritated
If you criticize him, you will only sound foolish
If you ignore him, you are e doing him a favour.
He has stopped seeing you since the moment he got the call
[06/04/2026, 17:44:04] GSW 2: If you leave him to it without any support whatsoever...
He will become successful regardless of your support, and once that transformation has been done without you...
You will never be able to fit into that call again
Like Zipporah, you will be an outsider even though you are in the same house
Miriam was more of a mother to the Israelites than Zipporah, for that reason
Apart from the fact that the Jews were racists and would have made it through for her to lead...
Zipporah didn’t take Moses' evolution well
She didn’t evolve with him
