Looking back, If I had gotten married while I was still living in the world and had remained there, this is what I believe would have happened:

1. I would have chosen with my eyes instead of my knees.
I probably would have married someone based on my fleshly desires instead of God’s will. I didn’t even know my left from my right spiritually, how would I have known God’s will? I would have chosen based on my flesh and emotions instead of God’s guidance.

2. I wouldn’t have had a peaceful home.
My marriage would likely have been full of confusion and conflict because I didn’t have the wisdom God has given me now. Every marriage goes through storms, but now I know that with Christ I can face those storms with faith, wisdom, and peace instead of fear and selfishness. I would have missed that.

3. I wouldn’t have loved my husband with God’s kind of love.
My love would have come with terms and conditions. It would have been based on feelings instead of God’s unconditional love. It would have been the kind of love that fades, keeps records of wrongs, gets angry easily, refuses to forgive, and is not willing to sacrifice. God’s love is different, it endures, forgives, and gives without expecting anything in return.

4. I wouldn’t have understood biblical submission. I would have believed that I should only submit when I was treated the way I wanted. I wouldn’t have understood that biblical submission is an act of obedience to God, not something based only on my husband’s behavior.

5. I would have felt empty and unfulfilled.
I would not have become the woman God created me to be or reached the full potential He had planned for my life.

There is a great difference between marrying someone who has simply changed on the outside and marrying someone whom God has truly transformed on the inside. A man or woman whose heart has been changed by God will love you, serve you, and be willing to make sacrifices for you because Christ lives in them.

So before choosing a husband or wife, don’t just ask, “Are they attractive?” Ask, “Are they truly in Christ? Has God circumcised their heart?”

Because looks may get your attention, but a transformed heart is what sustains a godly marriage.

@Rendani666 Thank you so much for this. Unbelievable that property scams are still happening
My take away: never pay any deposit without physically viewing the house. Another risk would be the tenants refusing to move out even after the property has been registered.

@frans_bongani @Patriot_S_A I have been wondering myself why this deafening silence. Are they somehow benefiting from this?

[Spiricoco Twittter @SpiricocoNg]

Muslims are killing Christians in the North and the Middle Belt.

We should speak more about this down here in the South. Nobody is standing up for our brothers up there.

We are at ease. The Assyrians killing Israel today will come for Judah tomorrow.

Let Esther not be ease.

In this video, Daddy Ibiyeomie claimed that Jesus never visited the house of a poor person because He hated poverty.

He also went as far as to say that Jesus hated poor people, and that He died so we could become rich.

But what does the Bible actually say? Let’s examine each of these claims.

1. “Jesus never visited the house of a poor person” — That’s not true.

First, the claim that Jesus hated poor people is an unscriptural and unchristian thing to assert.

Luke 6:20 — “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.”

Here, the Son of God blesses the poor and promises them the greatest treasure.

Can we read this and still say He hated them? Certainly not.

Didn’t the early Christians win over an empire through their love and care for the lowly?

Did Jesus Himself not say in Luke 4:18:

“The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor…”

If the poor were worthy of His anointed mission, how can we claim He despised them?

2. Most of His disciples were poor.

Depending on how you define being poor, many of His closest followers came from the lowest economic class.

Peter was a fisherman. The Sanhedrin even described them as “untrained and uneducated men.”

However, Jesus visited Peter’s house and healed his mother-in-law.

He ate with Mary and Martha. These were not rich people.

Yes, Jesus visited Zacchaeus, a wealthy man — but not because of his wealth.

Rather, He came to rescue him from the grip of greed.

Luke 19:8 —
“But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, ‘Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anyone, I will pay back four times the amount.’”

The visit led to repentance, not celebration of wealth.

Even the apostles held the poor in high regard.

When the pillar apostles extended the hand of fellowship to Paul, they urged him to care for the poor - something he was already eager to do.

Galatians 2:10

“All they asked was that we should continue to remember the poor, the very thing I had been eager to do all along.”

So again, how can anyone claim the Lord hated the poor?

3. Did Jesus die to make us rich? No.

Scripture never teaches that Jesus died to make us financially wealthy.

He praised the poor church in Smyrna, saying they were rich in spirit.

He rebuked the Laodicean church - wealthy in possessions but poor before God.

What about the Macedonian, Berean, and Thessalonian churches?

Paul described them as poor, yet they were rich in faith and generosity.

If the Lord had died for our cash, why did He not rebuke the poor churches for being poor but praised them instead?

4. What about the verse that says, “He became poor so that we might become rich”?

This refers not to material wealth, but to spiritual riches - redemption, justification, sanctification, and adoption as sons.

Jesus became poor in glory to give us these not dollars, brethren.

In summary: the prosperity gospel is false.

It is a distortion of the gospel of Christ.

Neither Jesus nor the apostles ever preached it.

It is not of God.

Yes, we recognize this teaching comes from a respected father in the faith.

But that does not excuse the falsehood of the doctrine.

This kind of gospel is from the Evil One — the one who perverts the truth of the gospel.

The only guaranteed promise of the gospel is eternal life — not money, not health, but Christ Himself, and union with Him forever.

May God continue to help and guide our fathers in the faith and help them to lead us better.

And may He guide us all in truth, love, and grace.

Amen.
