One habit I started a few weeks ago that has positively affected me is playing music in the morning and dancing to it. I can’t fully explain it, but I’ve been more joyful lately☺️

Please, as a woman, I’m begging you. I’m literally on my knees begging you, do life on your own terms. Marriage is beautiful but it must be under God and on your own terms. Don’t bow to societal pressure. The same people pressuring you to marry and have kids will be the same ones mocking you if you pick a foolish man out of pressure. They’ll still mock you if you leave. They’ll mock your dead body if you die in an abusive marrige. Please, be choosy! Marriage is NOT a must! Please! Please! Please! Please!!!!!

“Why will you allow a girl come first in class?” A boy-child that grew up hearing this statement has been trained to see a woman as less intelligent, incapable of leadership and not worthy to be deferred to. God didn’t give him that orientation and neither did “nature”. The unwise male elders around him did. It was drummed into his subconscious mind by the misogynists in his environment.

For some reason, I found it offensive as a child when told that. I remember asking the older cousin of mine why. I’ve always been vocal as my parents encouraged me to question things. So I asked him, “why can’t a girl be first?”, “What if she’s indeed smarter or she just is more focused?”

He was like I should never allow it. I then said her ability to read and remember is NOT in my control na. Why should I be jealous just because she’s a girl? I ended the conversation by saying “Suzan is a very intelligent girl and if she comes first, she deserves it”. We were in Primary 6.
I guess I grew up aware that it just didn’t make sense. The desire to be superior to a girl/woman has never made sense to me and it NEVER will.

When a boy-child has been raised to see a girl as less, his worldview will reinforce it. He will believe she cannot be smarter, richer and more successful than he is.

The sad part is that this limiting mindset has also been drummed into the minds of ladies to the point where they are afraid of being successful because men won’t find them “attractive”. On the flip side, the successful ones then consider themselves as “men”. This anomaly is a product of wrong ideologies in our environment passed down from generation to generation.

A guy with this warped mindset sees a successful woman as a threat to his “masculinity”. He sees a vocal woman as insubordinate, which is very weird because he may not know her or even be in a position where the lady should defer to him in hierarchy. He just thinks because he is a “man”, he has to be in control. He will even use the Bible to defend it.

May we all grow in wisdom.

Tomorrow is cross-over service. I’m tweeting this now so that it can have as much reach as possible before then!

Please! Pastors, praise and worship leaders, etc. Can we NOT say things like “many started the year with you and are dead but you’re still here”?

You have church members who lost husbands, wives, children, colleagues and even siblings this year. And even if you don’t have any loss in your congregation, it still doesn’t make sense. This is not a time to remind people of their losses all because you want to stir up emotions!

Your job is to help their hearts focus on God EVEN in the midst or absence of challenges. Comparative gratitude is NOT gratitude. This culture MUST die. We don’t worship because we are better than others, we worship because God is good and his goodness is constant in both good and bad times.

Please!!! Don’t let someone who came to church to thank God after all what they’ve been through this year, leave that service thinking God has been good to everyone but them. Please o! God bless you.

Kindly share if this resonates with you.
I have a new song out that will stir your heart in faith as we enter the new year.
Trust You One More Time.

What is going on????

[The Force! @Orifunke]

I believe we're seeing the repercussions of decades of societal, cultural and religious structures focusing on preparing women for marriage and implicitly assuming that men do not need to prepare for marriage that much.

Women are taught how to be wives. At home. In church. Everywhere. It's everywhere from the chores you're asked to do to how you walk, speak, dream, show up. Any misbehaviour is tackled with, "Is this how you want to behave in your husband's house?" These aren't just questions, they're preparations for marriage.

But have there always been concrete trainings for men in this regard, apart from "making money" and "being a man" and "being the head of the family"? Not as much. Do parents, society or churches see a single man misbehaving and say, "Is this how you would behave when you get married?" or "You will not be able to get a good wife this way"? I am uncertain.

What we see, rather, is people often subconsciously expecting that even men with bad behaviours will find their own women. It's why you would see men with serious moral deficiencies, lazy and irresponsible, and the solution would be to "Get a wife".

When I first met my husband, I was surprised at how much relationship/marriage content he had invested in. It was evident that he didn't just want to get married, he also wanted to be a great husband. It was refreshing to see and I think this should be mainstream.

When one party is groomed to aspire to marriage without preparing for it, chaos is bound to happen. Nobody learns about marriage automatically. They have to invest in knowledge, both men and women.

A call for conscience, truth, and justice.✍️
Anyone who backs a beast is a beast!

Anyone who claims that a crime which is clearly happening is not happening is either criminally minded or in need of a psychiatric evaluation.

When politics is placed above the blood of innocent people, you will surely give account for those lives.

We decree that every evil agenda against the innocent is exposed and overturned. The blood of the righteous will not be wasted, and justice will prevail in our land, in the name of Jesus.🙏🇳🇬❤️‍🩹

You don't have to keep the door open after forgiveness, sometimes you forgive and close it, some people shouldn't be allowed to come too close again after forgiveness is done.
