@Josh__IK Who is a Christian?
Attending church services does not make you a Christian but a church goer
A Christian is someone who accepts and believe in Christ as saviour, redeemer and Lord and he/she is walking in his foot steps, living for Him
When I was Muslim, man, this verse used to mess me up.
Jesus on the cross saying, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”
As a Muslim, I used to think: how does God feel forsaken by God? That sounds like weakness. That sounds like a prophet in pain.
But then I dug deeper.
And I realized Jesus was not speaking randomly. He was quoting Psalm 22.
That entire Psalm, written by King David centuries before Christ, is a prophecy about the crucifixion:
“They pierce my hands and feet.”
“They divide my garments among them.”
“All who see me mock me.”
In Jewish culture, quoting the first line of a Psalm pointed people to the entire passage.
So Jesus was not crying out in confusion.
He was declaring fulfillment.
He was saying: “This is that.”
And at the same time, He was carrying the full weight of sin, shame, abandonment, and suffering for humanity.
Every moment humanity has cried out, “God, where are you?” Christ stepped into that pain Himself.
That is not weakness.
That is intentional.
That is prophecy unfolding in real time.
That is the King bleeding on purpose so humanity could be brought near to God.
That is the Gospel.
There is no version of Christianity that permits you to continue living however you want simply because “God loves you”.
True love inspires true obedience.
I wish someone told me this when I was Muslim. It would have saved me many years of wrestling.
I thought accepting Jesus meant betraying Allah and throwing away my devotion. That was the lie that kept me trapped.
But the truth is, everything I loved about God - His majesty, holiness, mercy, grace - came alive when I met Him in Christ.
God is so glorious and mighty, plus, He wasn’t distant anymore. Still all-powerful, but now with me - near me. My old faith felt like pushing a car with no engine. It moved, but it was exhausting. Jesus didn’t replace the car. He became the engine.
Now the same devotion is there, but God sustains it. I’m not carrying it alone. That’s what Christ does.
He doesn’t kill your love for God.
He breathes on it.
He multiplies it.
Prayer becomes alive.
Fasting goes deeper.
Worship becomes relationship.
You don’t lose God when you follow Jesus. You finally find Him.
Bro, when I was Muslim, I used to think I was so holy by washing my feet before prayer.
Islam said, clean yourself before you can stand before God. You do the work. Miss a spot? Do it again. Get dirty? Start over. Scrubbing your record, hoping maybe you’re worthy.
Then I met Jesus.
John 13. The Son of God, robe off, towel in hand, kneeling down to wash His disciples’ feet… right before the cross.
In Wudu, I was at the sink trying to prove I was clean enough for God.
In Jesus, God is on His knees saying, “Let me make you clean.”
Do you understand how wild that is?
This isn’t a servant trying to impress the king.
This is the King becoming the servant, stepping into the mess, the dirt, the shame, and taking it all to the cross.
That’s the difference.
Religion says: fix yourself so God will have you.
Jesus says: I’ll fix you so you can have me.
One is earning.
One is receiving.
One ends in exhaustion.
One ends in freedom.
I used to wash my feet before I prayed.
Now the One I pray to has already made me clean.

I have this Muslim auntie, and she’s really devout.
Not just culturally, personally. She has a long history of answered prayers. Real things she asked for, and they happened.
I used to wrestle with that.
How do I say Jesus is the only way when her prayer life feels so real—like it saved her from mental hell? If you try to argue with that, you will lose.
Because to her, it’s not a theory. It’s history.
And here’s what most people miss: You can’t tear down someone’s belief system and leave them homeless. You have to show them the home in Christ.
A lot of apologetics today just demolish. Win the argument, lose the soul.
But here’s the truth: Those answered prayers… a lot of them were Jesus.
The character of Jesus.
The mercy of Jesus.
The Holy Spirit moves based on heart posture, not perfect wording.
A sincere heart still matters to a Father who is chasing His kids. That doesn’t make Islam true. It shows how merciful Jesus is.
So yes, expose the cracks. But build Christ louder. Preach the person, not just the proof.
Because my auntie doesn’t need another argument. She needs a revelation.
And Jesus will meet her, even in the middle of praying to someone else. When I prayed to Allah, Jesus was the one who answered me. And I knew it, because I knew His Word, His story, His character.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I believe Jesus Christ is the son of God .
I believe his sacrifice on the cross is the final and perfect propitiation for the sins of the whole world .
I believe that whosoever believes in Jesus shall not perish but have eternal life .
I believe that whosoever rejects the sacrifice of Jesus has rejected the sacrifice God made for their sins leaving them in sins and eternal destruction.
This is my everlasting position till Jesus returns or I go to meet him .
I also pray that you receive Jesus because you haven’t really lived till you do .
@bhee_hi@DiplomatKhaliel@AttorneyF_ Hebrews 2:9
But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
This is the true story of christians in northern Nigeria. Please do NOT let anyone deceive you, or gaslight you.
For christians in the north, they sleep with both eyes open. They are always one day away from being another statistic of a terrorist attack.
A lady born in a Pakistani family in Britain who converted from Islam to Christianity narratives her story. Her parents threatened to stone her to de@th after they found out.
RELIGION OF PEACE 🥲
Sometimes, you read a story that makes the blood in your veins run cold.
Blessing's baby, Victory, was born premature and diagnosed with hydrocephalus (fluid in the brain), and she needs an urgent ₦1,000,000 surgery to survive.
Instead of support, Blessing’s husband called her a witch for having a sick child and threw her and their baby out onto the street.
Now, Blessing is alone, fighting for her daughter's life with nothing.
Her husband turned his back, but we will not.
AprokoNation, let's be the family she needs right now. Let's save Victory.

The peace of mind and ease that comes with owning a Providus Bank platinum Naira Mastercard isn’t talked about enough tbh. I mean, it’s barely a week since I got this card and it has practically solved all the headache and worry that comes with finding a card that works especially when it comes to international payments. The only reason I got the card was because I needed something that works for my payments only for me to be hearing about the numerous benefits I can enjoy via Lifestyle Access. @ProvidusBank na so una dey do for here?
Please if you see this, please share. You're saving a life.
There is a dangerous Drug currently circulating in Nigeria.
We have seen 2 people in 3 weeks who were almost killed by this common drug.
Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
