@amelia_tweetz We seems to have short memory as a people. 10 years ago (2016) @wef made it clear, "You'll own nothing. And you'll be happy"
It's been played out subtly
They took memory cards from us and made us pay for storage. They took CDs and DVDs and made us pay for streaming. They took software you could buy once and turned it into a monthly subscription. They took ownership, convenience, and basically everything that used to be a one-time purchase… then somehow made us pay for it every month.
Social media was one of the biggest scams ever sold.
A perfectly happy woman can scroll Instagram and suddenly convince herself she’s living the wrong life.
She sees influencers traveling the world, wearing designer clothes, carrying $10,000 handbags and stepping onto private jets.
Suddenly her stable marriage feels boring.
Her husband feels “cheap.”
Her normal life feels like she settled.
Then she starts picking apart everything he does.
“He doesn’t take me anywhere.”
“He doesn’t spoil me.”
“He’s not ambitious enough.”
“He’s not like those men.”
Eventually, she starts wondering if she married the wrong man.
But here’s what she forgets:
She’s comparing her real life to someone else’s carefully manufactured highlight reel.
The vacations are curated.
The relationships are curated.
The bodies are edited.
The homes are staged.
The lifestyles are sponsored by men who rent these “influencers” aka escorts strategically presented for attention.
You are not watching reality.
You are watching a performance designed to keep you watching.
And comparison is the business model.
Because a woman who is content with what she has is harder to sell to.
But make her feel inadequate?
Now she needs the new handbag.
The new body.
The new vacation.
The new house.
The new lifestyle.
And eventually, maybe even a new husband.
They don't need to convince you that your life is terrible.
They only need to convince you that someone else’s life is better.
Then you’ll do the rest.
You’ll create the dissatisfaction yourself.
The algorithm profits from your insecurity, your comparison and your constant need for validation from strangers.
Stop comparing your real marriage to someone else's curated feed.
Be grateful for what you’ve built.
And before you let strangers on the internet convince you that your husband isn't enough, remember who actually lives that life with you.
Why do I keep going back to pornography, masturbation, sexual conversations or secret romance even after praying sincerely?”
There is a question someone may be asking after reading my testimony:
I asked similar questions during my years of struggle.
Sometimes, we are asking God to deliver us while still keeping close the things that constantly awaken the desire.
You pray at night, but you still follow pages that constantly expose you to sexual content.
You ask God for purity, but you continue having sexually suggestive conversations with that brother or sister.
You delete the pornography today, but tomorrow you deliberately search for content that stimulates the same desires.
You are praying for freedom, but you have not changed the environment feeding the bondage.
Jesus taught us to deal seriously with whatever continually leads us into sin.
Matthew 5:29 says, “If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away.”
Jesus was showing us how seriously we should treat sin. Do not manage what repeatedly destroys you. Take decisive action.
Brother, perhaps there are contacts you need to block.
Sister, perhaps there are conversations you need to end.
Maybe there are films you should stop watching.
Maybe you should stop taking your phone to bed because you already know what normally happens when you are alone at midnight.
Maybe loneliness, boredom, rejection, stress or certain memories have become triggers for you. Learn to recognise the pattern instead of only dealing with the fall afterwards.
The Bible says in Romans 13:14:
“Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the flesh.”
Please understand this.
Freedom is not only about saying NO to sin. It is also about saying YES to Christ daily.
Fill your mind with God's Word.
Develop a genuine prayer life.
Guard what enters your eyes.
Be careful about your relationships.
Find trustworthy accountability.
And when temptation comes, do not negotiate with it.
Flee.
Joseph did not remain in Potiphar's house trying to prove how spiritually strong he was. When temptation became physical, he ran.
Sometimes running is not cowardice.
Running is wisdom.
I struggled for years, so I am not speaking to condemn anybody. I am telling you what I wish I had understood much earlier.
God wants to help you, but stop protecting the doors through which the enemy keeps entering.
You cannot keep feeding what you are praying for God to kill.
Bring it into the light.
Close the doors.
Run from temptation.
Draw closer to Jesus.
Freedom is possible.

@Citi973 " improve performance in WASSCE."
When will the nation realize that the ultimate goal of education should extend beyond standardized tests? I am astounded by the apparent lack of sophistication in our nation, despite the significant financial investment in our education system
Truly truly, you shouldn't undervalue anyone under any circumstance and by any means.
