@ruffydfire Weird choice of words...
You "intervened ".. and "charged him". Curious as to what level of intervention you did. I'm sure you know he saw all these trending. Didn't need you to point it out. He doesn't live under a rock.
Don't get high on your own Kool-Aid. Be humble
Happy Birthday to our amazing Pastor Ikiddeh Ekong!
Your wisdom, compassion, and unwavering faith continue to inspire and uplift our Church family!
May this year bring you even greater joy, strength, and blessings.
We love and celebrate you today and always Sir!
Lately, I’ve been reflecting on Queen Vashti, not as the woman Esther replaced, but as a woman whose refusal reshaped a kingdom.
The book of Esther opens with a Persian king, Ahasuerus, drunk on wine and pride, commanding Queen Vashti to appear before a crowd of men so he can show off her beauty.
She refuses. That’s it. No speech. No protest. Just a quiet, firm “no.”
And the empire responds with fear. Laws are quickly drafted. Control is tightened. Because if one woman can say no, what happens if others begin to believe they can too?
And that’s the question that’s stayed with me:
- What is the world so afraid of in a bold woman?
- Why do power structures tremble when a woman chooses dignity over display?
- Why is a woman’s sense of self so destabilizing?
Vashti wasn’t just resisting a moment, she was interrupting a pattern. Perhaps kings before Ahasuerus had made similar requests. Perhaps the king's court had long normalized women being paraded for show. Perhaps Vashti wasn’t the first to feel humiliated. But, she may have been the first to say "NO" out loud.
And reading the story closely, the real disruption wasn’t Vashti’s defiance. It was the fragility of male ego, exposed in the presence of a woman who knew her worth.
Vashti disappears from the story. We never hear from her again. But her "no" makes room for Esther’s "yes." Her refusal shifts the narrative.
And here’s the irony: Esther is never asked to show up before a drunken crowd. Her beauty is admired, yes, but in the privacy of her husband’s gaze, not as a public spectacle.
Figuratively, Vashti’s no changed the atmosphere. Her refusal sent a message that lingered: A woman’s worth is beyond objectification of her beauty..
So while Esther walks into the palace with grace and courage, it is Vashti’s defiance that clears the path.
Esther’s success may have had divine purpose, But it was preceded by Vashti’s personal self-respect.
Even today, in workplaces, churches, and leadership spaces, women are often expected to perform, submit, or stay silent. And when they don’t, when they dare to say, “This is not who I am,” systems still reach for backlash, policies, or quiet dismissal.
But like Vashti, every woman who stands firm—seen or unseen, makes it harder for the next woman to be diminished. Her boldness becomes a mirror. It unsettles fragile power.
Her “no” is not just an exit—it’s a pace-setter.
Vashti didn’t get applause.
She didn’t get a second chance.
But she got something most systems can’t stand: She left with her voice intact!
And for every woman standing up against abuse, at work, at home, in ministry or leadership, know this: The system may silence you, but you have given power and grace to the next woman coming.
A Christian farmer got attacked by a terrorist in Adamawa state. He defended himself and in the fracas, the terrorist lost his life. This innocent farmer has been sentenced to death by hanging- a judgment that the nigerian Supreme Court recently affirmed.
I am not aware of any of the “big men of God” in Nigeria speaking out against this injustice. Not many professing christians have said anything about this.
But when people speak against a tyrannical oppressor and false teacher like Ibiyeomie, you will have a lot of idiots saying “touch not the anointed”.
@mayor_ogbu@9jaStig @MichaelCletus17 So the issue is semantics, not necessarily the fact that he is potentially dangerous to women abi? Would you want to know if a potentially dangerous person is going to be treating your loved ones?
Cc @OfficialDSSNG@PoliceNG
This barbaric terrorist animal here is publicly calling for a mass murder of igbo people. I’m bringing this to your attention because you need to investigate, make an arrest and prosecute him/her fully under the law.
PLS DO THE RIGHT THING ASAP.
Experience is Not Revelation
In this hour, one of the greatest threats to sound doctrine is not persecution — it is substitution.
Substituting Scripture with stories.
Trading truth for testimonies.
Exalting encounters over exegesis.
And the Church applauds because "man of God XYZ said so" — as though the experiences of men can substitute the authority of the cross.
Apollos: The Case of Eloquence Without Full Revelation
Let us not forget Apollos in Acts 18:24–26.
He was:
Eloquent,
Mighty in the Scriptures,
Fervent in spirit,
Bold in speech,
…but still only knew the baptism of John — a limited theology rooted in repentance, not in new creation realities.
It took Priscilla and Aquila — New Covenant carriers — to “explain the way of God to him more accurately.”
So yes, you can be powerful, gifted, admired — and still preach a partial gospel.
Here’s the danger:
If your theology is shaped by:
The dreams of a prophet,
The pain of a testimony,
The drama of deliverance sessions,
The chants of altar-breaking ministers…
…and not by Scripture, then what you have is not apostolic faith — it is infantile superstition in religious garments.
Doctrine is not built on what happened to you.
It is built on what happened to Christ.
Experiences may illustrate, but they must never interpret the truth.
Only Scripture is God-breathed.
Only the cross is redemptive.
Only Christ is the full expression of truth.
Why is this important for warfare theology?
Because most of what people call spiritual warfare today is a dramatic retelling of someone else's oppression, repackaged as a template for the Church.
They are not enforcing Christ.
They are memorialising wounds.
You hear:
“So-and-so minister was attacked by an ancestral altar…”
“I couldn’t sleep for days until I broke my mother’s covenant...”
“XYZ man of God fasted 90 days to silence a bloodline spirit…”
But you rarely hear:
“The Word says I am seated with Christ far above powers.” (Ephesians 2:6)
“Christ disarmed principalities and made a public show of them.” (Colossians 2:15)
“The blood of Christ has redeemed me from the curse.” (Galatians 3:13)
Be warned: The experiences of XYZ may only reflect a John-the-Baptist gospel
Just like Apollos, many are mighty in the Old Covenant, skilled in repentance, familiar with the wilderness — but strangers to the resurrection and ignorant of union with Christ.
They preach shadows, not substance.
Final Loud Rebuke and Exhortation:
If your faith is built on the encounter of a man, your life will sway with his shadows.
But if your theology is rooted in Christ, your life will stand unshaken in the storm.
Experiences must submit to Scripture.
Dreams must bow to doctrine.
No man’s vision replaces the victory of Calvary.
And no altar’s voice can overturn the verdict of the blood.
Welcome to a New week!
The resurrection power is not just a moment in history; it’s alive in you today. Step into this week with the confidence that nothing can hold you down. You are unstoppable, unshakable, and fully alive in Christ!
Happy Easter
@Yahooval1Chykes @Regtales25 I've heard a dr say that there is a thing called diabetic fatigue. Meaning that even while being strict and disciplined, the numbers are not working.
Whatever the case is, pray you never have to deal with it... or any disease for that matter
@FJidenna_ @Regtales25 @immasking It wasn't a debate. She made a statement and she is well within her rights to. That said, she also drew people's attention to the fact that they have a cavalier attitude towards T2D, because it's a silent disorder
.
This same person has now declared me wanted dead or alive!
Whenever they want to kill someone easily, this is the tactic they use. This is what they did to Deborah.
I can now be attacked, ambushed, or killed anywhere and anytime because my pictures have been circulated!
Dear @PoliceNG@OfficialDSSNG
This young man has been documenting publicly the continuous threats to his life by extremist murderous barbaric terrorists who want to kill him for being a Christian in the north.
I’m bringing this to your attention for help.
Pls kindly retweet.
@DrJoeAbah Wow. Interesting. Thanks for the feedback. What about the batteries? Are the 2 different types, lithium and wet cell, connected to 1 inverter or 2 separate inverters
