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:
She looked at me and said, 'Honey, you’re looking for a soulmate; I was looking for a teammate. Love is a feeling that comes and goes like the weather, but a shared life is built on the days you don't feel like it. I didn't stay because of a spark; I stayed because we were the only two people who knew how to keep the fire from going out.'
Bro, a woman settles when a man builds nothing to be proud of.
My brother used to say a man’s purpose isn’t to *be* loved, it’s to become someone worth loving. Forty years is a long time to carry a weight that should have been lifted by ambition.
Build something. Anything. A business, a skill, a legacy. Give her a reason to admire the man she chose, even when the feeling fades. Don’t expect devotion without delivering a life worth sharing.
And maybe that’s why so many people feel lonely today
chasing a kind of love that’s supposed to feel good all the time…
…instead of learning how to stay
when it doesn’t.
I read this story a hundred times and missed the point.
Not the resurrection.
What happened before that.
A man climbed a hill with three crosses.
The crowds were gone. The soldiers drunk. The women weeping.
And one wealthy man with clean hands decided to get them dirty.
He walked to Pilate — the man who just murdered his Lord — and asked for the body.
Then he climbed the ladder.
Grabbed the first nail.
Pulled.
Feel the weight of that moment.
God's body in your arms.
Blood not dry yet.
Staining expensive robes.
Hands.
Under fingernails.
The smell of iron in the air.
Here's what wrecked me:
Passover was three hours away.
The holiest day of the Jewish year.
And touching a dead body meant one thing:
Unclean for seven days.
No temple.
No worship.
No Passover.
He knew this.
He'd spent his entire life following these laws.
But Jesus was still hanging on that cross.
So he climbed anyway.
Joseph of Arimathea didn't do this expecting resurrection.
He did it expecting nothing.
Jesus was dead. Gone. Finished.
This wasn't faith in a miracle.
This was love for a corpse.
He gave up his purity.
His Passover.
His reputation.
His seat on the Sanhedrin.
His safety.
For a dead man who couldn't thank him.
Modern Christianity wants clean obedience.
Safe obedience.
Obedience that doesn't cost you Passover.
But Joseph shows us something else:
True discipleship gets your hands dirty.
Three days later, that tomb was empty.
Joseph gave his grave to Jesus.
Jesus gave it back.
The twist Joseph never saw coming.
Your messy obedience?
God's using it too.
Even when you can't see it.
So here's the question:
What are you avoiding because it's too messy?
What grave are you unwilling to give?
Joseph held death in his arms and missed the holiest day of his life.
And earned his name in all four Gospels.
Religion says stay clean.
Discipleship says climb the ladder.
What are you choosing?
ALARM: To all Nigerian Churches
A minister in the North claimed in a viral video that bandits disrupted his crusade. He was reportedly arrested afterward and told to report to the police station daily.
Then he reappeared, denied everything, and urged everyone to delete the earlier clips.
Just like that—silenced.
Southern churches, when will we form a real block of power and influence?
We preach it every Sunday. We boast that God has given us territory and a global voice. But what does this “influence” really mean?
Is it just YouTube views?
Is it pulling 10,000 people in an Asian crusade?
When will we use our numbers actually to defend Christians?
Sunday Jackson happened. Nothing. Now this again.
What exactly are we doing? We have money, reach, and influence.
If we can’t use it for persecuted Christians, what’s the point?
God will ask us all. Please, act.
Most people don’t reject God because He’s “silent.”
They reject Him because His real answer demands a spine, not sympathy.
The Christian poster version of prayer...“Yes, No, Wait”...was invented to make God feel tame enough to decorate a kitchen.
But Scripture doesn’t give you a soft fourth option.
It gives you the one answer modern believers fear most:
“TAKE IT.”
And that’s where everyone chokes.
Because taking requires obedience.
Obedience requires death.
And most people would rather keep their pain than crucify the version of themselves they’ve been worshiping.
Dying to excuses.
Dying to self-pity.
Dying to the fantasy that you’re “waiting on God,”
when Heaven has been waiting on you to move for years.
People don’t backslide because life gets heavy.
They backslide because responsibility terrifies them more than sin does.
“Wait” lets you blame God for the delay.
“Take it” forces you to face the truth:
You’re the delay.
If that stings, good.
It means the lie finally cracked.
I remain Jesus-Curious, but I want to be real for a minute and say some things:
- I was shocked by the music before it began, it was so beautiful. I didn't know that people looked like that when they sang along; like so connected to something. I cried a lot during the music and don't know why.
- I knew that Charlie was a Christian, but I didn't know that he did all of this for Jesus. I knew he loved Jesus, but I thought more about his drive for social change and real leaders. I didn't know he like literally did it all for Jesus.
- If @bennyjohnson was a pastor, I would go to that church every week.
- I realize a big thing I am afraid of with it is having to change. I would have to change. What Erika said about the answer is love and always love... I'd have to change.
I don't know. But I do know that I came to X to complain about the USDA and now I'm writing my feelings about Jesus on the internet. I have met so many amazing people here who believe in Jesus and I never expected that.
This was long.
Remember the 21 Egyptian Coptic Christians who were beheaded by Islamist extremists for refusing to convert to Islam.
There was not a single protest for them!
@SpiricocoNg @Evangelistfavo This is like 2weeks after this post and the account name is till not price of Esther. Please ooo, this is Nigeria. What's up with that
@thefemturned Feminism however well intended got infiltrated with misogyny quickly. As men used our want of an equal voice, to maneuver us to accept their mistreatment & call it independence.
Men-she's a slut
Women-she's an independent awakened feminist
Men-good she won't make me marry her

When Apostle Arome Osayi was working in Lagos, sometimes, he'd trek home.
Mind you, it wasn't a short distance he walked. Why did he do this?
Apparently, for most of the 7 years he spent working in Lagos, there was construction work going on.
This made his commute take 4hrs to and fro, and he would pray for each 4hrs, every day.
So he was doing 8hrs in tongues daily. However, some days he wouldn't get the 8 hours.
Perhaps traffic was smoother. So, he'd deliberately not take the bus.
He would walk home so he'd have enough time to pray.
His job wasn't a joke. He worked in a place that would drain the average person.
It was in the oil industry, NNPC. Sometimes, he'd go offshore for weeks.
Most times he was climbing very high tanks while doing intense mathematics and chemistry calculations.
But he fasted and prayed, even in such extreme conditions.
He made his commute his prayer time, and what a spiritual investment that was.
Is the point of this story to glorify a man of God? No.
Is the point of this post to compare you to him? No.
The point is that he is a man of like passion. He was extremely busy, but he still prayed.
What time can you squeeze in to have your daily prayer?
Movie time is there.
Social time is there.
Work break is there.
Twitter time is there.
Commute time is there.
Instagram time is there.
All these times are there. Would you pray daily with them?
Please do, you know God is calling you to pray. Please, pray.
It's a new week. Start this week.
God bless you.
Amen
