One time in Children's Church I was teaching 5-7 y/o on the Temptation of Jesus
I asked the kids if they had ever been tempted and to tell me what it meant to be tempted.
They all chorused yes to being tempted, but it was their definition of temptation that I found interesting.
Non-Christians hating basic Christian beliefs makes perfect sense. The confusing thing is people who IDENTIFY as Christian hating basic Christian beliefs.
Some people give too much power to ‘evil eye’. So convinced everyone is out to get them. Firstly, most people are too busy with their life to be concerned about yours. Secondly, do you not have faith in your God? Or is ‘evil eye’ stronger than the power that protects you?
If I could hear Christ praying for me in the next room, I would not fear a million enemies. Yet distance makes no difference. He is praying for me.

You just finished your 21 day or 40day fasting. Now you want to "rest" before you resume your normal weekly fasting.
Tola it's close to 2 weeks now oo. You've rested enough. Start your weekly fast next week 🙃
I had barely slept for four hours when I opened my eyes at around 4:30am this morning. My alarm was supposed to ring by 5:30am. My eyes were wide open, yet heavily laden with sleep. I didn't want to risk going back to bed as I may (infact, would) go late to work.

Truth is, God understands our frailty and wants to help us. God won't judge you because you're sleeping during devotion, but He wants to help you overcome sleep. He wants to help you concentrate on Him. He wants to help you bypass the weaknesses of your flesh.
T'was only a matter of time, they already discussing Mike Todd in twitter spaces whilst the man already apologized... Lord have mercy on your church.
May people be loud about your wins than they are about areas you confessed, showed remorse & are sorry for.
Are you looking for the perfect gift to give this Christmas? Is it expensive, rare, obscure, and hard to find? Is it currently unattainable?
What if I told you that God has the perfect gift for you and all humanity right now. God's gift is His Son, Jesus Christ.
A true friend will have the courage to correct you in love & won't always tell you what you want to hear because they can't stand seeing you stagnant. Someone like this cares about your destiny. Don't get too offended. It may burn in the moment but it will bless you in the future
