Just because humans can take it doesn't mean you should give it to animals.
1. Moderate amounts of kola nuts and coffee (caffeine/theobromine) will not harm a human but can kill a dog (or cause severe seizures and heart issues even in small amounts).
2. A tablet of paracetamol (acetaminophen/Tylenol) will not harm a human but can kill a cat. Cats lack the enzymes to break it down, leading to liver failure or red blood cell damage.
3. A tablet of diclofenac will not kill a human but can kill a vulture (causes rapid kidney failure). This drug wiped out millions of vultures in India when used in livestock carcasses.
4. Chocolate (especially dark or baking chocolate) is safe for humans in moderation but toxic to dogs, cats, and ferrets. Theobromine builds up in their system and can cause vomiting, seizures, heart failure, or death.
5. Grapes or raisins (even a few) are fine for humans but can cause sudden, irreversible kidney failure in dogs.
6. Onions or garlic (raw, cooked, or in powder form) won’t significantly harm humans but destroy red blood cells in dogs and cats, causing anemia.
7. Xylitol (common in sugar-free gum, candy, toothpaste, and baked goods) is harmless to humans but causes dangerous drops in blood sugar and liver failure in dogs.
8. Avocado (fruit, leaves, pit, skin) is nutritious for humans but contains persin, which is highly toxic to birds, rabbits, horses, and some other animals — can lead to heart damage or death.
9. Alcohol (in drinks or foods) is tolerable for adult humans but can severely depress the nervous system and kill dogs and cats in small amounts.
10. Ibuprofen or other NSAIDs (like naproxen) are standard painkillers for humans but even one tablet can cause stomach ulcers, bleeding, and kidney failure in dogs, cats, or birds.
11. Macadamia nuts are safe for humans but can cause weakness, tremors, vomiting, and high body temperature in dogs.
12. Lilies (any part of the plant) are beautiful and harmless to humans but extremely toxic to cats — even licking pollen or drinking vase water can cause fatal kidney failure.
13. Raw yeast dough can rise in a dog’s stomach, causing painful bloating and gas that turns into alcohol poisoning.
14. Hops (used in beer brewing) are safe for humans but highly toxic to dogs and can cause malignant hyperthermia (dangerously high body temperature) and death.
15. Antifreeze (ethylene glycol) tastes sweet and is sometimes ingested by curious animals. Humans can handle small accidental exposure with prompt treatment, but it causes rapid kidney failure and death in dogs and cats.
16. If you’ve come this far, retweet so more people can learn and protect the animals around them.
If you can stay up all night to watch a favourite series, you can stay up all night to pray.
The reason why it seems easier to do the former than the latter is because prayer was not designed in such a way that the machinations of the human flesh can power it.
If you must pray, you must be helped, particularly because the flesh will actively war against the spirit to ensure you do not pray.
If you are watching a movie late at night you may sense some resistance from your spirit but it is usually not forceful. But when the flesh resists your Spirit you will know it. That is why you cannot pray without the help of the Spirit.
Have you noticed that people usually struggle to stay awake during a night vigil when prayer or bible study is going on but if you were to close the service so that people can sleep, you will notice that half the people who were struggling to stay awake would be wide awake gisting until daylight?
The spirit realm is not accessible to your natural faculties and so you must be helped.
Apart from the infirmity of your flesh, you also are laden with the infirmity of knowledge. So let us assume you are able to take care of the issue of sleep by some natural means so that you can be awake all night, you will still be faced with a whole new difficulty; knowing what to pray for as you ought.
I used to be in a relationship back then and at some point things got really bad that we could be together on a date and there is nothing to talk about. We were both frustrated, people in love should have a natural chemistry such that discussions are not mechanical. But I was the problem, I did not know what to say as I ought. The man who wants to pray would also realize that he is dealing with a Spirit who operates on a very different frequency from him and one who you cannot summon but makes himself known at his time. From the onset the man is heavily disadvantaged.
It is why really the only prayer you can initially pray when you wake up at night is "help me Holy Ghost".
Just keep saying that for 1 hour.
Then for 1 week, Then for 1 month.
Keep your prayer watches. You will see that the Holy Spirit is drawn to a broken and a contrite spirit.
There is nothing that attracts him better than a man who caves to his vulnerabilities before the consciousness of his Divine abilities.
"Help me Holy Ghost" is a valid prayer. Pray it and see how your life will be transformed.
The thing with the prayer is that it can fit into any situation.
Are you mourning? Help me Holy Ghost.
Are you broke? Help me Holy Ghost.
Are you battling an addiction? Help me Holy Ghost.
You cannot pray? Help me Holy Ghost.
You eat too much? Help me Holy Ghost.
You are battling with ungodly telegram channels? Help me Holy Ghost.
Hear the Word of the LORD:
A NEW ERA lies ahead, within reach, but it demands everything from you. I have opened a Gate, a Corridor of Recoveries, where all that has been lost, stolen, and distorted can be reclaimed. This New will not be built on fractured foundations; it must rest upon the Perfect Past I established from the beginning. Are you prepared to pay the price, to lay aside everything that competes with MY voice?
Listen! Re-vival, Re-claiming, Re-defining, Re-commissioning these words are What Defines the New Season; I AM calling you to throw off every comfort, every compromise, and return to the purity of MY original design. This is not an option but a summons! You have tasted lesser things; now, I demand that you turn fully toward ME. Can you hear MY urgency? Will you answer?
The LORD says:
“Do not imagine this call is one you can delay or refuse. This is an hour of decision! I AM resurrecting MY original blueprint, calling forth MY intention from the beginning. Do you desire MY fullness, or have you grown dull, satisfied with a semblance of truth? I will not contend with complacency!”
Understand this: this New era is not a Day for those who waver. It is reserved for those who burn with zeal for ME alone. The coming days will strip away anything that is not anchored in the foundation I laid in MY image and MY likeness. This is the purity I require can you bear it? Or will you be found lacking, unwilling to surrender what must be cast off?
This is not a casual call; it is an urgent demand. Forsake every lesser allegiance, for I am bringing a holy refinement. Will you stand among those who choose ME fully, or will you be left behind as I fulfill MY purposes through those who will not falter?
THE HOUR HAS COME.
THE BURDEN OF OBEDIENCE
Brethren, hear me well. There may be a reason why the demands of God seem distant in your life, why His calling has not yet fallen heavily upon you. And that reason, perhaps, is this: God may not trust you to say Yes to Him when it matters most.
God does not take pleasure in hearing No from the hearts of men. He does not seek to force anyone into rebellion, nor does He wish to expose a man’s resistance to His will. This is why He places His demands only on those who have been weaned from their own desires, on those whose hearts are no longer bound to self.
A man still full of himself cannot carry the burden of God’s purposes without breaking under it or turning away.
If God’s demands seem absent in your life, it may not be that He has overlooked you. No, it may be that He is waiting for you to be purged of your own will, to be made ready for the day when you can say Yes without reserve. Only then will He place upon you the full weight of His calling, knowing that you will not turn away.
So I urge you, be emptied of yourself. Let God find you ready, trustworthy, and willing. For when He calls, He desires not hesitation or rebellion, but a heart that responds without delay.
Your Brother,

The Olympics opening turned elements of the Christian faith to paganism yesterday.
But when a US state made the 10 commandments mandatory display in classrooms, some Christians here objected.
We must expose the world to Scripture by every means possible. Darkness is serious.
Yesterday, the Olympics' opening ceremony surfaced as one of the most controversial in world history.
It was the biggest blasphemy, sacrilege, and ridicule of the Christian faith the world has ever seen.
Now, this angered us greatly. But strangely, we found joy. Before sharing, let us attempt to explain everything that happened at the opening ceremony.
The most prominent was the corruption of the Last Supper.
The Eucharist, or communion, is the start of the New Covenant.
It is the Christian's translation from the world of death and sin to life and righteousness.
It is our blessed hope and assurance that we are joined with the Lord forever.
That was what they chose to desecrate. They replaced Christ, the head of the church, with an obese woman who looked like a queen.
They replaced the apostles who witnessed the gospel that saved the world with depraved gays, lesbians, and transgender degenerates.
Replacing Christ with a woman looking like a queen is like making a statement of being joined with a Christ that is not Jesus, but a Queen of Heaven—
Jeremiah 44:19:
“And,” said the women, “when we were burning sacrifices to the queen of heaven and were pouring out drink offerings to her, was it without our husbands that we made for her sacrificial cakes in her image and poured out drink offerings to her?”
The apostles witnessed the gospel Christ preached to us. They are the channels through which the gospel that saves is preached:
Hebrews 2:3:
"How shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him?"
Replacing them with depraved, immoral transgender and gay people is like signifying that another gospel of immorality is being witnessed, the one that spreads the gospel of our fallen state before salvation.
They exalted the Golden Calf in a worship-like embrace.
Remember, the Golden Calf was the first idol the Israelites turned to just 40 days after receiving the Law at Mount Sinai.
It is a direct statement of rebellion against God. This world has and will denounce God.
They featured one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse from the book of Revelation.
The Pale Horse symbolizes death and decay, and hell follows closely behind it.
This perhaps is a symbol of the realm of sin and darkness in immoral works that they all belong to and hope to take many to.
They went through this immense trouble to simply tell the world they belong to Satan and hope to drag millions to the fallen world Jesus saved us from.
If that was all they did, maybe there'd be no outrage. But they desecrated the faith of 2.4 billion people doing it.
They threw all caution against disrespecting other people's religion to the wind.
The need to honor and not discriminate against other people's faith that the West passionately advocates was dismissed yesterday.
They desecrated the Christian faith, openly, before 1 billion eyes.
Now, here is our joy. The happiness we found in this whole thing is that no one is pretending anymore.
They have openly defiled our faith, so we can now openly proclaim and defend it.
They threw all civility in respecting sacred elements of religion to the wind.
We, too, will now, as we should have been, proclaim every aspect of our faith without any restraint.
It will not matter which groups feel our gospel affects them. We are respectful and gentle as Christians.
But we will also be firm and assertive in the things it condemns and those it commends.
CHRISTIANS, DON'T LET ANYONE TELL YOU TO BE "CIVIL" ABOUT TALKING ABOUT YOUR FAITH.
TALK ABOUT IT. EVERYWHERE. ANYWHERE. ANYTIME.
STAND FOR IT. STAND BY IT. STAND ON IT.
If the Olympics could defile the Eucharist, you can talk about the gospel on the bus.
If the Olympics could worship the Golden Calf, you can tell your employer you can't do certain things because you are a Christian.
Stand for the gospel. Stand by the Gospel. Stand on the Gospel.
Lastly, Satanism is real. The West has been captured by him. The Man of Lawlessness, the spirit of the antichrist, rules the West.
That is why everything is about the LGBTQ ideology. Everything.
That is the sin that hallmarks the fallen world of sin. It is not a conspiracy theory to say that Satanism is the religion of the West.
So, be wary of their entertainment.
Be wary of their ideologies.
Be wary of their money.
Be wary. Stay in the word daily, and pray without ceasing. That is how we remain pure in this crooked and dark generation as we hold fast to the word of life—
Philippians 2:15:
"That you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world."
May Jesus the Christ sanctify you in your body, soul, and spirit till the day He returns, in Jesus' name. Amen.
