@grikalmis “Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.”
John 12:24 KJV
We say to Christians…
“Bring someone to church, bring your friend, your neighbour, your colleagues, bring “sinners” you can find…but they shouldn’t be too far off. From the door, they must appear Christian-ey. No short skirt, no open chest, no invalid questions, they must align, or at least pretend to be.
You should aim to get more non-Christians, “baby” Christians, growing ones…etc in church, but they must act very Christian while here, otherwise they will not fit in and we won’t allow it.”

This isn’t even a direct response to this quote, but this kind of reaction happens every time in different ways, and I just find it funny. I simply try not to meddle.
A lot of Nigerians do church for mature Christians. Like you can just tell from their reactions that they expect everyone in church to be mature Christians, so they should “act” as one. If everybody there is established in Christ, so why is there altar call in church during service? 🤷🏽♀️
Before you make a comment or look at someone a particular way in church or make ridiculous comments like “see what you people are now wearing to/doing in/asking in church”, just think about the possibility that that person you’re about to “crucify” isn’t a Christian and knows nothing about Christianity, or that person is coming to church for the first time, or that person got saved 3 Sundays ago…then maybe you’d be more “loving” towards that person despite their short skirt, or their open hairy chest, or their kind of question.
Maybe. Just maybe.
Because why should everyone in church act Christian-y by default? Is it worker’s service? Is it ministry school?
I promised myself I won’t engage in Twitter discourse on Christian topics, but here I am again. 🥲🤷🏽♀️
One of the reasons I stopped going to church was that I couldn’t reconcile the lifestyle I wanted to live with what the Bible taught.
The Bible has clear positions on premarital sex, modesty, drinking and several other things. I couldn’t imagine going to church every Sunday, reading my Bible and constantly feeling guilty because I knew I was living in ways that contradicted what I understood Christianity to teach.
What I find interesting tho is when “Christians” try to water down or reinterpret biblical teachings to make room for the very things those teachings condemn, picking and choosing parts of the Bible they like. The recent debate on the timeline about whether premarital sex is a sin is a good example. I find it quite funny, honestly.
Every battle has a story, and every believer needs encouragement along the journey. Join Pastor Paul for powerful prayers and prophetic declarations. #PrayerWithPastorP

I watch the news once in a while when my dad and there are more BAT supporters out there than we think. People that are not learned don’t know anything than what is presented to them and BAT is reaching them fast!
Can someone please recommend to Pastor Sara Bassey to have a YT channel or podcast talking about how she handles her role as the wife of a global minister. How she copes hearing her husband is off again to another event
There are two important prayer points in Job 1:10 that we should pay attention to.
- That God will build a hedge of protection around us, our households and everything that concerns us.
- That God will bless the work of our hands and cause us to experience increase.
Pray for divine protection.
Pray for the blessing of God upon the work of your hands.
May God preserve all that concerns you and cause everything you lay your hands upon to prosper. Amen!
You people please consider all these guest ministers before inviting them for your conferences. All these back to back 🙏🏼 please let them rest and recharge
God does hear all including the intents of our hearts 🙏🏼 and allows all to be as long as it’s to the glory of God and for the kingdom.
Thank you LORD ❤️🔥
Church members will condemn, mock, insult workers and pastors and all will be well but when a member is corrected all hell will break lose.
You people are not ready for true Sound Biblical Doctrine 🙂
