Seeing @puredentng on the shelves in Jendol today made me very happy. Zero Fluoride!
Fluoride was replaced with Hydroxyapatite, a natural mineral that's technically about 80% the same with your teeth. Last year when I started researching on options to Fluoride, I stumbled on Hydroxyapatite, and to see a HAP based toothpaste in Nigeria is a big boost to public health.
Am at a marriage , bride is a twin, the elders had to separate her from her twin brother traditionally and the twin brother must have a mock marriage with another girl before we can start the real marriage of the bride. Please , am looking 4 d man that wrote African traditions.
Reading through Numbers 10:29, I noticed something crucial. Moses turns to Hobab, his brother-in-law. Hobab isn’t an Israelite. He’s a Midianite. An outsider. And Moses says, in effect, We’re heading to the place God promised us. Come with us. Stick with us. God has promised good things, and if you walk this road with us, those blessings can be yours too.
This is huge.
Moses doesn’t say, Sorry, this is just for the Jews. He doesn’t say, You’re the wrong bloodline. He doesn’t say, God only works with us. He says, Come with us. Walk with us. God’s goodness isn’t locked behind a fence. It covers you too.
When you slow down and really read it, this verse quietly blows up a popular idea. Some people like to say the gospel was only meant for the Jews and that Gentiles were a later add-on. That simply doesn’t hold up. This passage alone cracks that theory wide open.
The fact is, when Israel left Egypt, it wasn’t just Jews marching out. Egyptians went with them too. Other people did. God didn’t say, Everyone else stay behind. From the very beginning, anyone who wanted to follow Him was welcome to come along.
This hit me hard when I finally saw it because of all the times I have been reading the Bible. I had read this story before, several times, but I missed how far-reaching it really is. God’s heart was never small. It was never exclusive. It was always open to all.
That same God shows up in the New Testament doing the exact same thing. Jesus sends His followers to all nations. Isaiah says God’s servant would be a light to the Gentiles. Peter finally realizes God shows no favoritism. Same message. Same heart.
So the gospel didn’t start out Jewish-only and then expand later. It was always meant for the whole world. From Moses inviting Hobab, all the way to Jesus inviting us.
And that includes you.
God’s invitation has always been simple. Come with Me. Walk with Me. Trust Me. And you’ll share in the good things I’ve promised.
Have an awesome day!
I think this here is the cause of all the marital problems we have abroad. Our women are no longer comfortable with this type of marriage and unless you start having conversations with whoever you want to marry early about what type of marriage they would accept and see if it suits you, these things will always come up.
I’ve also seen instances people agreed to this just to get married and then switch afterwards.
My only concern is, if something is not done, marriage may become extinct in the next 10 years.
It calls for a serious introspection and discussion. Families are being destroyed daily and kids put in vulnerable situations.
My 2nd child came to hubby and said,
"Dad, can I get a papper clip for my home work"? He gave it to her.
My last child said "Dad, can you give me $2 to eat ice cream in school at recess? He gave it to her.
My 1st child said "Dad, why is is that you always have everything we you ask for?
Hubby replied and said, Thats why you call me father. Father means Source. Meaning he thinks ahead of the needs of his family and makes provisions for them even before they need it. Thats why I always have things ready even before you ask. Because I think of your needs ahead of mine. 🥺🥰
His reply to her warmed my heart. And thats how he is, Aside from the times he witholds some things from them so that they can learn about life that you don't often get what you want in life.
I wanna pray for all the Sources (Fathers) out there. May the Source you draw from to replenish your families never run dry🙏 May you not be weary, may God bless the works of your hands 🙏
God bless all Sources. God bless all Fathers 🙏❤️
Guys, we are not here to judge but, as a married man, wherever you go, make sure that you go back home
to sleep. Don’t sleep outside unless you are not in town.
Don’t go and hang with friends (of any sort) and get so carried away that you do not go home.
Even when you are home alone, make sure that you sleep at home.
