100% ELOHIM

[LECHA @lecha_gg]

Never thought of it this way. But it seems really to be the case. It holds unless otherwise.

[T.J. Moe @TJMoe28]

I’m reading Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis, and I came across a fascinating idea I’ve never heard presented before.

Lewis doesn’t state it directly—only its implication—but for his conclusion to hold, it must be inferred.

It appears in the chapter “The Cardinal Virtues,” on the final two pages.

Lewis distinguishes between performing a just or temperate act and actually being a just or temperate person. A poor tennis player might hit a great shot occasionally, but that doesn’t make him a good player. We all agree on that. Therefore, isolated acts of obedience don’t make one virtuous, character is revealed in consistency.

From there, Lewis argues that God wants more than mere obedience. Obedience matters, but God cares far more about our character. He wants us to become people who naturally produce obedient behavior.

Then comes the part I've been contemplating for the last few days.

Lewis notes that we might assume virtues are needed only for this life, because in heaven there will be nothing to quarrel about (so no need for justice) and no danger (so no need for courage). But he adds that while God won’t refuse entry to heaven for lacking certain qualities, heaven offers no further opportunity to develop them. As a result, we will never attain the “deep, strong, unshakable kind of happiness” God intends.

The inference that struck me is this: we may have only our time on earth to become the people God intends us to be. This life forms our capacity for joy, virtue, and glory. Heaven fulfills it but does not expand it through suffering.

In heaven there are no trials to forge bravery, self-control, patience, humility, resilience, integrity, gratitude, or joy in the midst of hardship. Those qualities are shaped here, not there.

So here's the unsettling question: once we die and enter eternity, is our development finished? Is this life our only chance to become the best version of ourselves?

If so, it’s sobering. All the time wasted scrolling Instagram reels or behaving poorly without seeking growth would carry eternal consequences.

I should live each day with urgency, taking massive strides toward becoming the man God intends. The day I die, the work ends. My capacity for joy and virtue can no longer grow.

I’m not sure if this idea is theologically sound. Maybe it's not. I’d love some insight from theologians who could explain why it might not hold.

But if this life truly is our only training ground, delay is far more dangerous than I ever realized.

That thought alone makes me want to live with far greater urgency than yesterday.

It has been noticed that Netanyahu constantly covers the camera lenses on his phones!

Does he know something we don’t?

[LECHA @lecha_gg]

THIS DAY; The LORD raised his countenance upon me. The LORD made his face shine upon me. The LORD has given His servant peace. Surely, Yahweh was in this place and I knew it not. Then this must be the house of Elohim. And it'll be called Beth'El. THANK YOU EL SHADDAI!

[Faithfulness Okom @AttorneyF_]

Why does God even want worship? Isn’t that… needy? I was rewatching The Chosen weeks ago, the scene with the Samaritan woman and that question wouldn’t leave me alone. Jesus says, “The Father is seeking those who will worship Him in spirit and in truth.” It hit me harder than usual. Almost made me teary.

And then an intrusive thought slid in: Why does He care so much about worship?
So I sat with it. And slowly, something started to untangle.
We live in a world obsessed with creators and ownership. Artists sign their paintings. Musicians copyright their songs. Companies defend their patents. Architects protect their signature designs. Not because they’re insecure. Because authorship matters.
We instinctively know that to erase an author’s name from their work is wrong, and to twist their creation beyond recognition is violation.
That clicked for me.

If flawed humans protect the integrity of what they make… how much more would the God who authored galaxies guard His?
Reality itself is His masterpiece. Every law of physics, every spark of beauty, every heartbeat, signed, authored, claimed.
So when Scripture calls God jealous, it’s not describing a fragile deity craving applause. It’s describing a Creator who refuses to let His signature be erased from what He made.
Not insecurity, integrity. Not ego, essence.
He is jealous for us, not of us. Because when creation forgets its Creator, everything breaks. Meaning unravels. Purpose distorts. Worship misfires.
God’s “jealousy” isn’t about Him needing attention. It’s about Him refusing to let us live on lies. He knows that life only works when it aligns with Truth. And He is that Truth.

So when Jesus says the Father is seeking worshipers, it’s not desperation. It’s love. It’s rescue. It’s the God who authored reality inviting us back into alignment with it.
Divine jealousy isn’t proof of God’s weakness. It’s proof of His love. A love that protects. A love that refuses to hand us over to counterfeits. A love that will not let His creation forget who made it.
The universe is a signed masterpiece. Erase the signature, and you erase meaning itself. God refuses to let that happen. That’s where I landed. And honestly? It made me worship more, not less.

[Ekaji @ekajiibe]

The most radical thing a man can do with his life is to take Jesus and His word seriously. You soon will find out that there is a reality greater and more potent than the natural world. This is what has always shaken me deeply, how many continue to live oblivious of this truth.

You’ll be qualified for a job six months after you get hired, not before.
You’ll be qualified to run a business a year after you start it, not before.
You’ll be qualified to help clients after you’ve worked with a few, not before closing your first.

No matter what you’re doing, readiness doesn’t come before action , it comes through action.
Growth happens in motion, not in waiting.

So start insecure.
Start scared.
Start unsure.
But whatever you do
Just start now.

Because clarity, confidence, and qualification only come after the first step.

@DrFeruke Amen. These are facts. Jesus came to give us more than our earthly riches. Something more than that. HALLELUJAH! GLORY!.

[Sam @DrFeruke]

In His earthly ministry, Jesus did not make any single person rich. Instead, He made the rich like Zacheus and Matthew give up their riches.

He fed the hungry who followed Him but when they wanted to make Him king and “bread provider” he ran away and told them to stop working for bread that will not last.

He made none rich, not even His disciples. The only disciple that tried to use Him to make money ended up betraying Him and destroying His soul in the process.

He warned against the deceitfulness of riches and greed. Spoke constantly of the rich as in danger and money as an idol. He commanded us to sell our material things so that we can invest in an eternal reward.

Riches are not neutral. Excess money exerts pressure on our sinful nature, dragging us into a sense of self-dependence and lowering our gaze and fixing it on this world.

No wonder that man in Proverbs prayed that God should not give him wealth that will make him forget God. It makes sense why God warned the Israelites over and over about Canaan, that when they find excess and comfort they must not forget their God. But they still did.

Brethren, God makes some men rich. But riches are a burden to those who value their soul above all else.

God makes men rich, The good and evil, the believer and reprobate can all become rich by Gods providence. But this is not why Jesus came. He came to give something richer than riches and which adds no sorrow.

He came to give eternal riches in heaven where there can be no rust or moth. He came to give us true riches which is Himself. He came to give us a riches which will satisfy every need.

This is why Jesus did not make anyone materially rich during his earthly walk. NOT ONE PERSON. But He ALWAYS meets needs.

Think on these things.
Grace to all God’s people.

if you want to survive AI, now is the time to fight as hard as you possibly can to be a COMPLETE human... the specialist won't survive 👇🏾

Your grandfather could probably build a house, fix an engine, grow food, play piano, speak french, and tell you which way was north without checking a phone.

He had skills across the spectrum of survival and craft.

Slowly we told everyone to pick one thing and get really good at it.

At 16 I was told to pick a career for the rest of my life...

But in a world of AI, and incoming super-intelligence, this has never, ever, been worse advice.

The specialist programmer? ChatGPT codes faster. The specialist writer? Claude writes cleaner. The specialist designer? Midjourney does it faster.

The inconvenient truth is that the specialist won't survive.

The people I am now hiring into my companies and what I want my future kids to be, are COMPLETE HUMANS.

The complete human is the one who builds AND creates AND thinks AND feels across disciplines - that's the person that becomes more interesting, more rare and more valuable, as machines become more specialised.

It's hard for machines to automate the weird intersection of human experiences that makes someone decide to explain a marketing campaign through jazz metaphors, design a product inspired by stoic philosophy.

Your ancestors weren't specialists because they couldn't afford to be.

We can't afford to be specialists because the machines are going to win that game.

Fight as hard as you can, to remain a complete human!

Fight the voice in your head that says successful people don't waste time painting, or dancing, or learning languages they'll never monetise.

That voice is lying. The most interesting founders I know are part-time sommeliers, weekend pilots, terrible poets, decent drummers.

They bring their whole weird, complete humanity to everything they touch. And that's exactly what makes them irreplaceably human 👊🏾❤️

Interested to hear about some of the weird things my community on here does to remain a complete human!
Anyone wanna share?
