From fad diets to old wives’ tales about food, it’s easy to be misled into believing popular food myths. But just because a particular way of eating generates a certain result for one person, doesn’t mean it’s a universal truth that everyone should apply to their nutrition habits
Now even Christians are encouraging and recommending everyone to go and watch Polygamist.
I won't lie—I tried to watch it after seeing so many people talking about it on TikTok and other social media platforms. I struggled to move past two minutes, and the reason was simple: the sexual scenes.
One thing many believers fail to understand is that you cannot be praying against lust, pornography, masturbation, and sexual addiction while feeding your mind with content that awakens the very desires you are asking God to help you overcome.
Some people are wondering why they keep falling into temptation. The answer is simple: what you entertain eventually influences you.
If you are trying to stop masturbating and watching pornography, but your daily entertainment is filled with sexual scenes, nudity, adultery, and immorality, your battle will become much harder.
As Christians, we must learn to guard our hearts and our eyes.
The Bible says:
"Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it."
What enters your eyes eventually enters your mind, and what enters your mind eventually affects your actions.
What surprises me is seeing some Christian women judging all men based on a movie.
A movie is not reality.
Not every man is a polygamist.
Not every husband is a cheat.
Not every marriage is destined to fail.
Not every man is secretly living a double life.
As the world is talking about Polygamist, can we also talk about Monogamist?
Can we talk about the thousands of faithful husbands who wake up every morning and choose their wives?
Can we talk about men who have opportunities to cheat but refuse because they honor God and respect their marriage vows?
Can we talk about men who stay committed through financial struggles, sickness, misunderstandings, and difficult seasons?
Can we talk about men who are raising their children, providing for their families, and remaining faithful when nobody is applauding them?
Because they exist.
It is possible for a man to be married to one woman.
It is possible for a man not to commit adultery.
It is possible for a man to reject a woman who is trying to seduce him.
It is possible for a man to remain loyal even when temptation is available.
It is possible for a man to honor his vows until death.
The problem with our generation is that movies, social media, and celebrity culture have become our teachers.
People are forming opinions about marriage from Netflix instead of Scripture.
People are learning relationships from movies instead of God's Word.
People are allowing entertainment to define what they believe about men, women, marriage, and family.
As believers, our standard is not movies.
Our standard is not TikTok.
Our standard is not trends.
Our standard is not celebrity opinions.
Our standard is the Word of God.
The Bible is our blueprint for marriage.
The Bible teaches faithfulness.
The Bible teaches commitment.
The Bible teaches self-control.
The Bible teaches covenant.
The Bible teaches that marriage is honorable and should be protected.
Before I watch any movie, I ask myself one question:
"What is the end result of this?"
Will it build my faith?
Will it strengthen my values?
Will it bring me closer to God?
Will it help me become a better husband, wife, father, mother, or believer?
Not everything that is popular is profitable.
Not everything that is trending is beneficial.
And not everything that everyone is watching should be watched by a child of God.
Let's be careful what we consume.
Let's stop allowing movies to become our theology.
Let's stop judging an entire gender because of a script written for entertainment.
And let's remember that while the world may celebrate confusion, God's design for marriage has not changed.
The Bible remains our standard.

I fell in love with this scripture:
“There will come a time when your tears will fall, not because of your troubles, but because God has answered your prayers.”

CAN I ENCOURAGE SOMEONE:
1. Something about you scares the devil.
2. The possibility of you finding your strength, sharpening your focus, & fulfilling purpose shakes hell to its core.
3. The moment you decide to stand in your frame, ignore the critics, & fully obey GOD is the moment your life begins to make a difference.
4. Whatever you do, LIVE LOUDLY! LIVE BOLDLY! You have one life. Don’t let anyone live it for you.
5. There is a GRACE on your life that makes you who you are & guarantees your success. DON’T SHRINK! SHINE!
• You may think no one notices you, but they do.
• You may think no one thinks about you, but they do.
• You may think no one cares about you, but they do.
• You may think no one is happy for you, but they are.
• You may think no one appreciates you, but they do.
• You may think no one celebrates you, but they do.
People may not tell you that to your face, but they think it to themselves or say it to others in your absence.
If you are reading this, it simply means you matter to me and I wouldn’t let Today slip by without sending this to you.

I LOVE YOU ❤️
GIVE IT TIME:
1. I know you are excited about meeting him/her and you want to do everything at the same time, please give it some time, you might just discover what you never knew.
2. You have apologized to them yet they still can't come full circle with you, give them some time to heal . Everything will be fine after a while.
3. You have prayed and believed God, relax and give it some time. God will work things out for you.
4. Never say Never. Time has a way of making sworn enemies become good time friends again.
5. You might not be living your dreams yet; it's only a matter of time, you will get there like they did too. Yours will even be bigger and more beautiful.
6. Don't react swiftly to that offense. Give it time, you might hurt a relationship that would have blessed you.
7. You are not in competition with anyone. Today's Labour will soon become Tomorrow's Favour. Give it a little time!
8. They are treating you like you don't matter. Relax, Focus on your Assignment and give it time,they will NEED you real soon.
LIES YOU SHOULD NOT TELL YOURSELF
1. WHAT IS MINE WILL ALWAYS FIND ME: Who told you that? Abeg get up and go get it...Fortune favours the Brave!
2. THIS IS WHO I AM, I CANNOT CHANGE: No Sir/Ma, Times are changing , your adaptability to changing Seasons will always put you ahead of others. Did you hear a Wise man when he said- Madness is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result.
3. I DON’T NEED ANYONE, I CAN MAKE IT ON MY OWN: No matter how disappointed you are with people, you must need someone at some point to help you navigate through life’s hurdles. God Ordained Relationships are answered Prayers.
4. MY CHARACTER DOES NOT MATTER, I CAN MAKE IT REGARDLESS: Some habits are blessing blockers. Be Careful!
5. I AM TIRED MEANS I SHOULD GIVE UP: This Week, you might get exhausted mentally, physically etc. issues might stress and attempt to drain you. It’s okay to be tired....REST and hit the road again...NO GIVE UP MENTALITY here!
6. I AM WHAT I DO : Overtime , you probably may have disappointed yourself with your actions but always remember- YOU ARE NOT WHAT YOU DO. Your Identity is who God says You are not what you’ve done.
7. I STILL HAVE TIME: You’ve got no time to waste time. Every time you are lazy, someone is working real hard. Every new day brings you closer to your next birthday- I don’t think you have as much time as you say you have. FACE YOUR FRONT. BE ALL IN with your Purpose and MIND YOUR BUSINESS!!!
Hope this made a little sense...
@Miss_Oluremi 🤣🤣🤣🤣 tis right here is the reason why you are still single. Let me remind you that your parents house when they are gone belongs to your elder bro not yours. And if he ends up with her, that house becomes hers.
The only visitor I see here is you.
@Austeiin Please be careful, most meat sellers know when you don't know and they tend to lie and sell the female one. Tell them you want to buy the reproductive part of the goat meat, when they show you. Ask for the meat around it . That way you are very sure
Many nurses I met here in the uk were the one financing their home for the first few years of their relocation.
These are people who did not pay rent while in Nigeria.
These are people whose husbands were engineers, doctors, Lecturers in Nigeria but after relocation had to do menial jobs ti sustain the family.
The idea of “50/50 in marriage” sounds fair, modern, and balanced, but in real life, it’s one of the biggest fallacies we keep spreading.
Marriage has never worked on perfect arithmetic. It works on capacity, season, and sacrifice…not percentages.
Some days one partner will give 80 while the other gives 20.
Some seasons, one person will be strong, and the other will be fighting silent battles.
Some moments, one will carry the emotional weight, financial burden, or household responsibilities because the other is simply drained.
And that’s not failure.
That is marriage.
The truth is simple: no human being can wake up every day and contribute exactly “50.” People get tired. People get sick. People break down emotionally. People lose jobs. Life shifts. Energy fluctuates.
A healthy marriage is not two people calculating what the other has done, it is two people who are committed to showing up fully in whatever capacity they have each day.
Today you may carry your partner.
Tomorrow they may carry you.
Balance is achieved over time, not in one moment.
And here’s another reality people avoid:
Sometimes the person who is giving “30” is actually giving 100% of what they have in that season. And the partner giving “70” also gives because they can at that moment. That is partnership, not exploitation.
The people who survive marriage long-term understand one thing clearly:
Marriage is not 50/50. Marriage is 100/100.
Two people committed to giving their best, not an equal fraction, but a full effort according to their ability, their health, their season, and their reality.
When you insist on 50/50, you reduce marriage to a business contract.
When you understand 100/100, you embrace marriage as a covenant, a daily decision to love, support, and show up.
Some days you will be the one lifting.
Some days you will be the one leaning.
And that is perfectly fine.
Anyone who wants a mathematical marriage will never experience a meaningful one. Love has never been about counting. It has always been about giving.
Maturity is when a grown man is able to separate the love that he has for his mother, from the love that he has for his wife.
Your mother is your father's wife.
You don't sleep with your mother.
And your mother cannot give birth to your children.
If your father placed his mother above your mother, your mother would not have remained your father's wife.
And by the way..
Your father's wife is not the same as your mother.
Your real mother is your father's wife.
End.
