Sometimes I sit with the reality of how unkind this world is to women, and it breaks my heart.
It is one thing for the world to fail women.
It is another thing entirely for people to organise cruelty against women and give it a cultural name.
That is barbarity!
That is evil!
The past 24 hours have been deeply reflective… filled with tears, laughter, and overwhelming gratitude. I can’t believe this is my life. What incredible grace. Thank You Abba ❤️🥰
That took courage. Real courage.
For a pastor to stand before his congregation and admit something that could “damage reputation” instead of quietly hiding it, that’s leadership rooted in conviction, not image.
And let’s be clear: the bigger moment wasn’t the pregnancy announcement. It was the refusal to cover it up out of shame. That’s where the battle was.
When he said he announced it to “shame the devil,” what he was really doing was removing secrecy. Shame grows in darkness. Once you bring it into the open, it loses power.
If we’re being honest, teenage pregnancy isn’t new. Hypocrisy is what’s been common. Families quietly “travel abroad.” Girls disappear for months. Stories get edited. This time, truth walked in through the front door.
And the daughter? She’ll remember that her father chose her over reputation.
That’s love.
It doesn’t erase consequences. It doesn’t romanticize the situation. But it restores dignity. And dignity changes outcomes.
@Adasu_d_gr8 This is the best way to defeat the devil! That temptation that is so overwhelming, expose it and the devil will flee. This is why confession of sins is very important
A lot of spiritual burnout comes from trying to impress God instead of relating with Him. God is not a taskmaster to be pleased, but a Father to be known.
Tolerating always turns to resentment. At first, you call it patience, then love. But what it really is, is self-abandonment. Every time you swallow a boundary, excuse a pattern, or silence your discomfort, something inside you keeps score. And eventually, the bill comes due.
