One of the reasons marriages don’t work today is because people leave too fast.
The moment something feels uncomfortable, the moment it doesn’t fit anymore, the option to walk away is already on the table.
And my wife and I, we made one thing very clear from day one.
Going separate ways isn’t even in our vocabulary. It’s not an option.
So we don’t even negotiate with it, we don’t threaten with it, we don’t use it when things get hard, because whatever life throws at us, we deal with it together.
I honestly think that we have a lot to learn from our grandparents.
They didn’t leave because it got boring. They didn’t leave because someone changed.They understood that marriage is something you build, not something you constantly evaluate.
That only works if you marry someone you can actually do life with.
Someone you respect. Someone you can grow with. Someone who’s willing to stay when things aren’t pretty.
And I truly hope people stop romanticizing the idea of marriage and start taking the responsibility of it seriously.
Because if leaving is always an option, you’ll never fully commit to staying.
Christianity is not a religion, it's union and the outworking of divinity in humanity, there is a arm in it called religion and it's work is to feed the poor, widow, visit. It becomes an error when you make Christianity all about religion, you kill and suppress the Life in you

I have another perspective .
She doesn’t want to be a fornicator .
And she is keeping her body till marriage .
And yes , there are many women who love the Lord more than a relationship.
My prayer is that we have more Christian men who gain mastery over themselves so they are the ones leading where sexual purity is concerned .
SO EVERYONE HAS A JOB-EXCEPT THE PASTOR?
A teacher has a job.
A doctor has a job.
A cleaner has a job.
A butcher has a job.
Even a streamer has a job.
But somehow, when it comes to a pastor, you say, “He needs to go and get a real job.���
What exactly do you think pastoring is?
Do you understand what it means to labour over people?
The hours spent studying so you can teach accurately. The hours in prayer. The counselling sessions that stretch deep into the night. The emergency calls. The hospital visits. The marriages and families requiring attention. The members whose problems become burdens you carry. The days when your own family barely sees you because someone else's family needs you.
And after all that, someone says, “Go and find a job.”
Scripture doesn't speak that way.
Paul calls those who preach and teach labourers and says, “The labourer is worthy of his wages” (1 Tim. 5:17–18). He also says, “the Lord commanded that those who preach the gospel should live from the gospel” (1 Cor. 9:14).
Certainly, some pastors are lazy. Some are exploitative. Deal with them as such.
But don't insult the genuine labour of thousands of faithful ministers because of the abuses of some.
Pastoring is not the absence of a job. Pastoring is work.
And anyone who has done it faithfully knows just how demanding that work can be.

It Takes More Work to Deny Eternal Security Than to Believe It.
One thing I've noticed over the years is this:
It is actually much harder to argue that a truly saved believer can finally perish than it is to argue for the eternal security of the believer.
Why?
Because to sustain that position, you often have to explain away some of the clearest promises in Scripture while building your case on texts that are debated, contextual, or less explicit.
Jesus says:
"I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish." (John 10:28)
Paul says:
"Those whom He justified, He also glorified." (Romans 8:30)
"Having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise." (Ephesians 1:13)
"There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus." (Romans 8:1)
These are direct, positive declarations.
To deny eternal security, one must either redefine what "eternal" means, weaken what "never perish" means, or argue that these promises are conditioned by something the text itself does not state.
The discussion then shifts almost entirely to warning passages, parables, difficult texts, and narratives, with words and phrases often made to carry meanings beyond their immediate context.
Sound doctrine is not built by allowing the obscure to reinterpret the clear. It is built by allowing the clear to govern our understanding of the difficult.
Every doctrine should harmonize with the whole counsel of God, but we should never make the plain promises of Christ bow to passages that require far more interpretation.
If the plain sense of Scripture makes good sense, we should be slow to abandon it for conclusions that depend on layers of inference.
That is why I remain persuaded that the New Testament presents the believer's salvation as secure not because difficult passages do not exist, but because the clearest passages speak with remarkable certainty about what God has accomplished in Christ.
Church A: First timer package - jollof rice and juice
People: yay, awesome church, great church.
Church B: First timer package - did you receive the HolySpirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues when you believed? Right now we can lay hands on you and you will speak in tongues.
People: nonsense church, heretics, they are forcing people to speaking in tongues.
Carnality on full display.
HYPERGRACE MUST DIE!!
☝️
HAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAH
Very unwise folks.
Very unintelligent.
You guys made HYPERGRACE popular na.
Hypergrace is the smallest stream in the present pentecostal community but you consistently made us popular.
You and your fathers, you are so agitated about your self-righteous empires, you have not sat down to really figure out a proper political move to destroy this HYPERGRACE PROBLEM. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The more you fight us, the more people are curious, the more they learn the truth.
You are basically helping us achieve our aims.
More people are leaving your sects to discover they are eternally saved. Even some of your pastors are migrating now.
Your paranoia is getting the best of you.
Some of you said God told you hypergrace is dead, years later, hypergrace churches are increasing.
You don’t learn.
Always very poor thinkers.
The more you put focus on a subject, the more you empower that subject and magnify the teachers but you don’t learn.
Same old foolishness.
When I started church at Futa Southgate back in the day, JCCF and fellowship folks began to warn their flocks against me, the hypergrace preacher.
My church was just in a ramshackle beside a dung site, yet the entire body of christ in futa was put on notice about me, most of the members of my ministry then were leaders from those meetings where they demonised me, they came to verify the truth themselves and found rest.
You have not learnt anything all these years still.
Legalism is very unintelligent.
If I was on the legalistic side, there are a few things I will do that will shred the hypergrace community into pieces, just few buttons, anyways, good thing you guys don't think.
Very good thing.
Acts 9:5 KJV
[5] And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
You will fight hypergrace till you accept it.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
WE’VE GOT TO ADMIT IT WITHOUT FEAR
As a lifelong Cristiano Ronaldo fan, if Messi wins a second World Cup, whether i think it was deserved or not… it becomes impossible to deny him.
He has to be recognised as the second greatest footballer of all time.
Still comfortably behind Cristiano GOATnaldo. 🐐
