If you work with computers and laptops,
Pls NEVER slouch or lean forward.
YOU WILL DAMAGE YOUR SPINE.
Sit up straight at your seat,
Keep the table at your elbow level,
Keep the screen top at your eye level.
This way,
You prevent back pain,
You prevent neck pain.
RT for others.
see that the fundamental problem in this life is men generally. From the unsolicited opinions about her tattoo and her role as a mother, to the man who has the picture album of her daughter.
The problem will always be men!! they would be found at forefront of nonsense.
To those who say:
“But many christians don’t even talk about fasting and we don’t even see them fast during the Lent”.
The simple response is:
You will NEVER know when a Christian is fasting. It is deliberately designed and instructed that way.
In christianity, fasting is NOT a performative exercise for popular applause or public awareness.
Matthew6:16-18.
“When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show others they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, so that it will not be obvious to others that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.”
Fasting for christians is a completely personal religious duty. It is between you and God. Not between you and others.
A Christian that is fasting will go to school as normal. He will go to work as normal. She will do her make up as normal. Because life doesn’t need to stop because you are fasting.
This is why shutting down schools and collapsing an entire society with total disregard for other people is nothing but hateful extremist religious intolerance.
So you will never know when a Christian is fasting. And you should never know. Because the Christian fast is NOT for you to know. And the Christian is not fasting for your approval or your applause.
I hope this is clear.
Pls kindly read and share.
Today is the beginning of the Christian Lent season. This is the Christian equivalent of Ramadan. Lent is a 40days fast for Christians.
And to whom it may concern:
In all of the southern Nigerian states,
Many of which are Christian majority;
NO SCHOOLS HAVE BEEN CLOSED.
NOBODY WILL BE ARRESTED FOR NOT FASTING. NO CHILD WILL BE DEPRIVED OF EDUCATION BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE ARE FASTING. Non Christians will not be tortured, dehumanised or oppressed because some christians are fasting.
Many of you may not be aware of Lent,
Because to christians, Fasting is a personal religious duty and it is not a performative exercise to score some religious narcissistic virtue points.
The Christianity in southern Nigeria is not a religious death cult. We do not use violence to enforce compliance, we do not utilise a lunatic religious police to oppress non-christians and we do not weaponise the power of the state to carry out a hateful intolerant religious oppression of those who are non christians or who have no religion at all.
We hope that our friends and fellow countrymen from other parts of Nigeria will learn the noble virtue of allowing religious freedom, stop engaging in hateful treatment of non-Muslims, end the perpetual religious persecution of non-Muslims, and review the extremist intolerant policies of state-sponsored religious oppression which allow some bigoted religious lunatics and extremist hate mob to use government powers to totally trample on the rights of other people. There are many sane Muslims who do not support this, we appreciate them and I pray they speak up more.
Because in the end,
Religious oppression is utilising the power of the state with readiness to engage in barbaric violence to enforce the dictates of one religion on the entirety of a multi-religious state and all the people within that society, without any regard for those who do not adhere to those religious beliefs.
May God bless Muslims in this Ramadan. May God bless christians in this Lent.
May God hear all of our prayers.
Thank you.
God forgave men who were philanderers, but when it was time to pick a father for His son, He picked a sexually disciplined, kind, emotionally stable, diligent, humble and genuinely God-fearing man who didn’t seek to disgrace his wife. Men, learn from this.
