@themaninileife People would rather blame the church than blame government for economic issues. The Church is NOT the issue of Nigeria! Thank you Prophet for this piece

PEOPLE WHO THINK THE CHURCH DOES NOT CONTRIBUTE SIGNIFICANTLY TO THE ECONOMY NEED TO RECONSIDER THEIR UNDERSTANDING OF ECONOMIC PRODUCTION. The church is not just a religious institution. It is also an ECONOMIC AND HUMAN-DEVELOPMENT INSTITUTION. A 2016 American study estimated that religious institutions and religion-related activities contributed approximately $1.2 TRILLION ANNUALLY to the US economy. That is equivalent to about 6.24% of America’s GDP at the time. Think about the jobs churches create, the schools and hospitals they operate, the buildings they construct, the professionals they engage and the businesses they support. For example, there are people in the media business who have religious institutions as their major customers in the business of renting, purchasing and installing media equipments. Beyond that, churches develop people who acquire skills, become professionals, establish businesses and employ others. But there is another dimension we should be exploring: GOVERNMENT AND CHURCH PARTNERSHIPS. Governments should recognise churches as potential development partners, not merely religious institutions. Imagine governments partnering with churches to provide vocational training, healthcare, education, youth empowerment, entrepreneurship programmes and community development. There is already a Nigerian example. In Benue State, a community mental health programme brought together government, faith-based organisations and development partners to expand mental healthcare through primary healthcare services. It demonstrated how churches and government can combine their reach and resources to address public needs. Nigeria’s Christian Health Association (CHAN) also works with government health ministries at federal, state and local levels, coordinating church-sponsored healthcare facilities across the country. This is the kind of collaboration we need more of. Government has policies, funding and public infrastructure. Churches have established community networks, facilities, volunteers, professionals and the capacity to mobilise people. Imagine what they could achieve by working together TRANSPARENTLY and strategically! THE CHURCH IS NOT JUST A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE GATHER TO WORSHIP. IT IS ALSO A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE ARE DEVELOPED, EMPLOYED, TRAINED AND EQUIPPED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE ECONOMY. Government should not overlook an institution that can be a strategic partner in national development. THE CHURCH CONTRIBUTES TO THE ECONOMY IN NO SMALL WAY! - Usen MJ

It’s not a crime to serve in a local church. You can have a “massive encounter”, and it “ends” in you serving passionately in a local church. Nothing wrong with international crusades. Or “global” ministry. But an “apostolic” call can be in a local church. God rewards faithfulness. Not activity.

I have known this kid, who has now grown into a man, for 7 years. 7 whole years! No issues. No stress. Just pure bliss. Daniel, I genuinely believe God used you to reward my years of loyal service. And I have served. In some places, I have walked away with joy and beautiful relationships. In other places, I HAVE WALKED AWAY WITH REGRETS, yet with thanksgiving in my heart for everything. But through it all, I have served sincerely, honestly, and wholeheartedly. In service to God and His people. And I am deeply grateful to have you in my corner. To have had you in my corner all these years. Thank you for looking out for me. Thank you for your impeccable work with our media. Thank you for how fiercely you defend me and how passionately you believe in this work. Thank you for praying for me, sometimes when I didn’t even know how much I needed those prayers. Thank you for how quickly you listen, receive corrections, and put them to work. That quality is rare, and I never take it for granted. Many times, I have wished and prayed that God would send every minister his own Daniel. But I am especially glad He sent you my way. You have been a gift, a blessing, and a beautiful part of my journey. And I hope you know how much I appreciate you. May the years ahead be even more beautiful than the years behind you. May God honour your loyalty, reward your labour, enlarge your capacity, and give you many reasons to smile. May the evil words of men spoken against you and your service, raise unrelenting indignation against them. I love and celebrate you, man! Happy birthday, man of God! Happy birthday, Daniel!

Omoyele Sowore is “alleging” that armed men sponsored by the government came to abduct him and injured the men with him. This allegation is on his Facebook page. But that’s not the issue. It’s Nigerians in his comments making all kinds of jokes and silly remarks. The same Nigerians he claims to be fighting for, making a mockery of what should be investigated with all seriousness. Fighting for this nation and her people ehn, is an extreme sport. I understand why many religious leaders choose silence or at best choose to fight and attack each other, rather than speak up about what good governance should look like. ShebI Jesus didn’t say anything about the government of his days, so why should we? I understand it now.

If you own a laptop, you are one step away from generational wealth ❌ If you own a laptop, and internet you are one step away from generational wealth ❌ If you own a laptop, internet and at least 12 hours light you are one step away from generational wealth ❌ If you own a laptop, internet, at least 12 hours light and you see food to eat after spending money on all of these, you are one step away from generational wealth ❌ Omo, being from and living in Nigeria ehn is an extreme thing. Maybe if we had good leaders, we will not need to provide all these things for ourselves, and would be able to focus on creating the wealth for a generation. But God helps us.
