[Shahriq Khan @RealShahriqKhan]

When I was Muslim, I would argue & say we had the same prophets as Christians.

But this one broke me:

Surah 17:101: Allah gave Moses 9 clear signs.

I knew the list. The staff. The shining hand. The drought. The flood. The locusts. The lice. The frogs. The blood.

I held onto those 9 signs like proof I had the real story.

But bro, you know what shook me?

There’s a night missing.

After all nine signs, right before Israel walks out of Egypt, something happens that the Quran goes completely silent on.

A lamb is slaughtered.

Its blood painted on the doorposts.

And death passes over every house covered by that blood.

The Passover.

I grew up hearing the whole Exodus story. But nobody ever told me about the blood on the door.

Islam just skips it.

And here’s what wrecked me.

The Bible, the book I was taught was corrupted, mentions the Passover over 70 times.

Exodus. Leviticus. Numbers. Deuteronomy. The Psalms. The Prophets. The Gospels. Paul.

70 times.

So I had to ask myself the honest question:

If men corrupted this book, why would they obsess over the same story for 1500 years? Across dozens of authors who never met?

You don’t forge a document 70 times.

That’s just not corruption.

That to me is preservation.

And then I read the line that finished me off.

1 Corinthians 5:7.

“Christ our Passover lamb has been sacrificed.”

That’s when it hit me.

The whole story was never just about Moses.

It was always pointing to a King.

The final lamb. Whose blood, when applied to your life, makes death pass over you.

Forever.

The Quran gave me 9 signs but hid the one night that explains why any of them happened.

Because the moment a Muslim understands the Passover…

he’s one step away from the cross.

You'd think Christianity is easy until God tells you to pray for those who persecute you.

Mlk/X Genius came out over two years ago and still isn't available to stream in the UK. What's going on @NatGeo

[Samuel Ade @SamuelAde_]

Very few people who went SXSW London last year will be back this year, myself included.

A lot of women don’t actually want a good man.

They want a finished product, a man who’s already winning, so they can enjoy the lifestyle and claim the outcome.

[Immortal Tessy @TheresaArueyin1]

Dear Christian, Your life is a sermon, whether you preach or not. Make sure it points to Christ.

[Samuel Ade @SamuelAde_]

When you don't know the times and seasons even good things can become a distraction.

@mitchyson111 @CinemaTweets1 You really called Adrian ugly lol.

[The Tennis Letter @TheTennisLetter]

Naomi Osaka on why she chose to host a party for the black tennis players:

“You know I'm seeing a little bit of-
‘Why can't you love everyone for all skin tones?’ and ‘what if someone had an all white party?! First of all I do love everyone for who they are no matter their race + ethnicity, (I'm literally half Japanese lol). I can only speak from my experiences in my own life though, growing up as a tennis player I didn't see many people that looked like ME and I feel like it's important to celebrate them.

Secondly I feel like it's important to note that there have been all white dinners/parties. I don't know how else to tell you this, I literally seen them all the time and never had an issue with it at all. To the people who ask this question I want to ask you this question too, ‘What is it about POC getting together that unsettles you so much?’

I want to end this by saying I grew up watching my dad get discriminated against, having the cops called on him multiple times at the tennis court. There are multiple things I will apologize for in my life but celebrating being black and appreciating who we are will never be something I would consider saying sorry for. Thanks.

Actually I lied, I am sorry. I'm sorry for the people who cannot comprehend in their brains that this is not about exclusion, this is a celebration about how far we have come 🖤”

A Christianity that gets you into Heaven, while also allowing you to continue living however you want to here on earth… Is a Christianity foreign to the New Testament.

The Gospel changes who you ARE, but it also changes what you DO!

[Hunadi M @HunadiFlorah]

And your faith will be tested 😩

[Melanin Queen👑🌹 @onlyone_success]

DJ Cuppy is the daughter of a billionaire father named Femi Otedola. Regular men know that she is out of their league. They are under no illusion that they can bag her, so they stay in their lane.

Men are very logical. They don't live in lala land like women. An average man will not embark on such a fruitless journey.

However, most women don’t understand this reality. 95% of Nigerian women are praying to have a rich dude like Rema. They keep thinking that a wealthy guy out there is going to come to their ghetto and rescue them out of poverty.

[Samuel Ade @SamuelAde_]

@redromatica Praying for you but you may also want to check out this sermon for clarity on why such seasons are necessary. The Lord didn't bring you this far to leave you now.... https://t.co/N1PT9AKgrQ

[Samuel Ade @SamuelAde_]

If I didn't have a community that loved me, I may not have survived that season literally.

[Samuel Ade @SamuelAde_]

When in this season it can feel like worst thing in the world but when you come out of it the clarity, wisdom and blessing you gain far outweighs what was endured to get there. The present suffering is nothing in comparison to the glory that is revealed in us. Praying for you

[Red @redromatica]

If anyone is a true Christian and sees this please pray for me.
I’m not losing faith in that I know God loves me, but I’m in a season that’s heavy and confusing that seems purposeless and endless and I could really use prayers.
