The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong,nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favor to the learned; but time and chance happen to them all.-Ecclesiastes 9:11
Got debt, sickness, divorce, or grief flooding your life? Remember, even a house purchased isn't truly yours—it belongs to the bank. You're just a tenant. Yet, through it all, the Spirit of God is still working. Hallelujah! #Faith#Hope#Resilience
Genesis 8:22 speaks of 'seed time and harvest.' For Christians, this biblical principle highlights that actions have consequences and spiritual growth takes time. What you sow, you will reap. #ChristianLiving#SpiritualGrowth
Mohammed Hijab is facing severe racism from his Muslim community, and honestly my heart hurts for him. Just read how disgusting the replies to this tweet are.
I also face racism from them, for speaking as a Pakistani ex-Muslim. It's actually insane how rampant it is in the Islamic community.
Mohammed Hijab, if you're reading this, I just want you to know that you are so so loved by Christ. He loves every part of you, including your skin color. He made you just the way you are for a reason.
Temporary emotions shouldn't dictate permanent decisions. Even in betrayal and imprisonment, Joseph refused to let bitterness control his future, maintaining faith, wisdom, and character. #EmotionalMastery#SelfLeadership
Islamic preachers in America:
“The greatest mission of Muslims in America is to destroy Christianity.”
“Oh Allah, kill them one by one, do not leave a single one of them alive!”
I don’t know about you, but I’ve never seen leaders of any other religion be like this!
True leadership isn't about authority, it's about service. Christ's example shows us leadership is stooping low to lift others up. If you're not identifying strengths and empowering your team, you're not a leader. #Leadership#Service#KingdomLiving
Leadership isn't about personal comfort; it's about serving a greater purpose for others. True leadership requires self-development and becoming a better version of yourself, a vessel of light. #Leadership#PersonalGrowth
The book of John
John 1:1-4,14
[1]In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
[2]The same was in the beginning with God.
[3]All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
[4]In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
[14]And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
Emotional intelligence is key to resolving conflict, fostering understanding, and building trust. It inspires greatness by helping leaders connect with and value others, leading to stronger relationships. #EmotionalIntelligence#Leadership#Communication
@GloriousGod01 A friend's house rent in the back waters of Warri was increased from 400k to 1 M, the landlady who lives in UK heard rent has increased in the area.
Christianity has the harshest verdict on human nature of any religion on earth. It also has the most extravagant grace of any religion on earth. That is not coincidental.
Every other religion does one of two things. It sets a bar you can clear; works, rituals, devotion, and moral accumulation, with a path to standing before your god with something to show.
Or it dissolves guilt altogether, telling you the self is an illusion, that sin is merely ignorance, that enlightenment is just a reframe. Human religion, across every culture and every century, moves in one of these two directions. Earn your way in, or talk your way out.
Christianity does neither. It does something no human committee would or could design.
The Sermon on the Mount is not mere moral teaching, it is an intense prosecution. Jesus does not merely raise the behavioral bar, but He relocates it to the interior, where nobody can hide. The Pharisees; the most disciplined religious performers in the ancient world, could clear the behavioral bar. They could not touch the heart bar. Nobody back then could and nobody since has.
Anger is murder, lust is essentially adultery. When Jesus finished speaking in Matthew 5, no one in that crowd was still standing, all their defenses collapsed. That does not look like religion, it resembles a courtroom. And the verdict is an emphatic GUILTY, without exception.
Now watch what happens next.
The same God who delivers that verdict does not simply show mercy. A judge who acquits a criminal is merciful. What Christianity offers is not acquittal. The criminal does not simply walk free. He moves into the judge’s house, he gets the last name and he receives an enormous inheritance. Romans 8:17 says we are heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ. Not pardoned, or tolerated but adopted and entitled to the full inheritance of the eternal Son.
People underestimate what that inheritance means because they think in earthly categories. The richest human who has ever lived will die, and his estate will eventually dissolve. What Romans 8 describes is something creation itself is groaning in anticipation of; the full revelation of the glory of the sons of God. You are not inheriting assets. You are inheriting glory. The shared, eternal glory of the Son of God.
No human religious imagination arrives here. The gap is too wide. The indictment is too severe and the grace is too extravagant, and they are too precisely proportional to each other to have been invented. The depth of the hole and the height of the rescue match exactly. That kind of architecture does not come from a fleshly committee.
The most devastating indictment in the history of religion. The most generous verdict in the history of religion. Both in the same book, both from the same God. The paradox is not a contradiction. It is in my opinion, comprehensive proof of the substance and the veracity of this beautiful faith.
When Barbary Muslims started attacking American vessels and taking Americans as slaves, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams met Abd al-Rahman Adja of Tripoli to request an end to it.
When they asked him why, Adja is recorded to have told them that non-Muslims were “sinners” and killing and enslaving them was a mandate straight from Qurʾan.
By that time the Muslims had already enslaved between 10 and 18 million Africans and around 1.8 million Whites.
And the practice continued for another whole century.
True leadership isn't about your title, it's about self-mastery and emotional intelligence. Cultivating self-awareness is the real key to leading effectively. #Leadership#SelfMastery#EmotionalIntelligence
