In 2016, I read so many arguments here about how the "subsidy removal" and pump price increaseto N145 was going to be the greatest thing ever for Nigeria's fiscal and oil policy.
Another bright-eyed self-deception by people who passed economics but failed political science.
Please pay attention if you're finding yourself getting
.dizzy
.tired
.headaches
.sweating too much
Or even muscle cramps
It might be signs of heat exhaustion or heatstroke that happens when your body can not maintain a cooler temperature because the weather is too hot
“I will continue to take care of you until you are old, until your hair becomes grey. I made you who you are, and I will supply everything that you need. I will carry you and I will save you.” - Isaiah 46:4
Brethren, the least important reason to not patronise pornography is that you're contributing to a truly demonic industry.
Actual exploitation and trafficking happens there. There's also actual Satanism going on there.
There's all kinds of evils happening behind the scenes to provide those services at the tip of your fingers.
Every time you click on it, you're giving an offering to Satan's work on earth. You're contributing.
If no one clicked, it would die. Nothing good has come out of that thing.
This should be enough motivation to not patronise their sites by going there.
But let me give you more. You're the temple of the Holyspirit and God is with you. A host of witnesses and angels are with you.
Are you really going to keep watching it with these entities with you? Jesus is with you. How shall your Lord see you with such?
This is more than enough to make a Christian drop their phone once they are tempted to start typing that website in the browser.
But there's more.
It's similar to the first but deeper.
Porn is destroying lives. It's creating and worsening sexual perversions. It feeds on depravity and deepens it, creating even serial killers.
It rewires brain cells by maximising circuitry for dopamine from porn leading to addictions.
And those satanic producers and shareholders are making billions of dollars from it.
Now see what Paul says...
Romans 1:32
Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things DESERVE DEATH, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.
By patronising porn with your clicks, you're approving of what they do. You're actually approving things like:
The producers who drug women to use them.
Cartels that steal girls and boys that use them.
Homosexuals sharing the platform for their sex.
Marriages destroyed because of husbands addicted to porn.
Serial killers made because of porn.
Everyone who contributes to these evils deserves death. And God the just judge will give everyone their just judgement.
And that includes everyone who approves of it by patronising it.
Brethren, if you have an issue with porn, do everything withing your power, latch on the the means of grace and sacraments so that you may be delivered.
By the gathering of the saints and communion, the word and prayer fill your soul with the grace that comes from a full awareness and assurance of Christ.
It is truly evil. And many believers have succeeded in becoming free.
By the grace of our Lord Jesus, in the name of Jesus, you will be freed too.
Amen.
Good news! The following conditions are NOT automatically part of the dying process:
1. Pain
2. Loss of mental capacity
3. Choking
4. Suffocation
5. Bleeding
6. Starvation
7. Vomiting
These are the conditions patients tell me they are waiting for in fear.

"I'm not ready to die yet." Every time a previously well patient says these words to me, it's been one of my hardest moments as a resident. We may hold people's lives in our hands but we hold them deep in our hearts too.
@lajalivinlarj@NigeriaStories Contrary to the translation on the clip, in Hungarian, "néger" doesn't literally translate to "negro" or "nigga". It isn't denigrating. It maintains its latin/french root for "black" or "black-skinned".

What advice do you have?
@TheRealDoctorT As an MS3, I was rounding with the surgical attending when the POD1 patient we were coming to see was in the bathroom.
Attending yelled thru the bathroom door: ‘You ok?’
Patient yelled back: ‘Yeah.’
Attending in his note:
“S1/S2 RRR, lungs CTA, abdomen soft…”
Me & the intern:
It is hard to fight someone you pray for and pray with. What has happened in many marriages is that the economic push for survival has pushed prayer to the background. Our pursuit for survival has choked our bonding in the place of prayer.
8 steps to rebrand if you didn’t match:
1. Check for red flags like low scores, no job after medical school, no research, failed rotation. Ask for feedback from mentors & places you interviewed (you may not get a response). You need to address 🚩 in your rebrand.
We all have the same SPIRIT but we don’t all have the same SPIRITual discipline, maturity and investment. The differentiating factor isn’t who is in us but how much of He that is in us we have yielded to and allowed to influence our lives, in conduct, faith authority and power ❤️🔥
