I just saw a quote that has lifted my faith even more
“If Jesus taught us to pray, it means that He intends to answer”
Don’t stop praying child of God. Your Father is hearing and will answer.
@d_ocheido When my office said we address people by their first names, it was difficult for me. I find myself calling my supervisor Mr..., he countless times reminded me. Home training no gree me o.
@bowslingercraft@bogunjejoshua And still we find it difficult to please God. When knowledge increases... I think we need to be more intentional with our service to God. We have more advantages but still struggle.
@d_ocheido I like her calmness and tone modulation. But can we talk about his constant excuses? Her comparison of him entering the rain to club but can't do that to church. Let's talk about him leading her as her priest. Let's talk about us being responsible to each other.
@toyosialliowe@Tspiceskitchen Attending burial ceremonies and visiting the hospital teaches one great lessons of life. There you will know the nothingness of life indeed.
@Tspiceskitchen Ohhh God. My heart feels so heavy. So the baby died? Omo, nothing dey this life. Life is transient, no one gets out alive. God, continue to help us.
@Tspiceskitchen Omo, this is so heart wrenching. Please ooo, you people should keep checking on the man because he is very vulnerable right now. God consoles him. This will be so hard on him. What prompted the smoke in the kitchen?
@RealShahriqKhan So profound. Just like the story of the prodigal son. We are that son. After leaving Christ coverage, we become vulnerable and the devil plays with us. When we realise ourselves and repent, the father all the while has been waiting 4 our return. The father saw him from afar first
You know what shook me when I was Muslim?
The story of Hosea. God tells a prophet to marry a woman He knows will betray him.
She does. She runs to other men. She ends up enslaved, sold, used up, worthless to the world.
And God tells Hosea to go BUY HER BACK.
To pay money for his own wife who cheated on him, and love her again. Hosea 3.
I thought it was the most humiliating command in the Bible. Why would any man do that?
Then I realized I was the wife.
I gave my heart to everything but God. I chased other masters. I sold myself cheap. I made myself worthless.
And God looked at me, the betrayer, and didn’t say “you’re not worth it.”
He said, “Name the price. I’m buying her back.”
That’s the Gospel. God doesn’t wait for the unfaithful to come crawling back clean.
He pays to redeem them while they’re still dirty.
Islam told me to make myself worthy of God.
Hosea showed me a God who pays to redeem the unworthy.
The cross was Him naming the price.
Praise the Lord.
20 happily married women were asked one simple question:
“What makes your husband attractive even after years of marriage?”
Almost, none of them mentioned looks, muscles, money, or fancy romantic gestures.
Here’s what they said actually makes a husband deeply attractive:
For more than ten years, I remember entering public transport with my girlfriend, carrying little but sharing everything. We counted coins, waited at bus-stops, dealt with Sapa, diligently applied ourselves, and dreamed quietly about what life could become. Time moved, seasons changed, and love stayed.
Today, she is my wife. We move in our car and in the back seat is our child as a living reminder of all those ordinary days that built this life.
We stayed, we fought, we worked, we laughed, we complained, and we believed. We didn’t allow anyone to steal what we had with money, influence or whatever it is they thought either of us could be stolen with.
In all honesty, it’s an experience that cannot be bought with money.
And when I look back, all it truly took was consideration and genuine desire.
Many times, love is enough when the parties concerned want it to be enough.
Still far from where we want to be, but we thank God for how far He’s brought us.

My uncle has been married 22 years.
His wife still lights up when he walks in.
I asked what he does differently.
He said: "I never text her what she wants to hear. I text her what she needs to think about."
I didn't understand it until I asked his wife.
She showed me this 👇🏻
