My Stance on Road Development
There is a pertinent reason I have consistently advocated that we should refrain from initiating new road construction projects until we have thoroughly rehabilitated and maintained our existing road network. Instead of undertaking new ventures and dualization projects that offer marginal benefits, our primary focus ought to be on repairing the critical roads already in place.
Consider, for instance, the Asaba–Benin Road. This thoroughfare is a vital artery within Nigeria's transportation infrastructure. Travellers traversing from Akwa Ibom, Anambra, Rivers, Imo, Ebonyi, Cross River, Abia, Enugu, and portions of Benue and Kogi States to Lagos are compelled to utilise this route.
Despite its significance, substantial sections of this road are in a lamentable condition. It has become a major impediment, precipitating persistent traffic congestion and inflicting undue hardship on travellers, businesses, and transport operators.
Regrettably, this situation is not unique; it reflects the reality on many of our busiest national highways.
Our efforts should be directed towards the reconstruction and maintenance of our current road infrastructure before we announce plans for new road projects. The Nigerian populace requires functional and motorable roads, not merely projects that garner public attention.
Efforts aimed at superficial improvements for political gain should not supersede the urgent need to address the condition of our existing, critical roadways.
A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO
Praise God! Today we celebrate Apostle @gideonodoma & Rev. Hassana Odoma.
Your marriage models a profound truth: that the home-front can remain as strong as the apostolic ministry.
Thank you for your immense impact on @RCNLagos & the Body of Christ. Happy Wedding Anniversary!
Pastor Adedolapo Lawal , sir I thought you knew better than this though.
According to your own John 3.16, the one who has believed has eternal life and will perish right?
Eternal life is quality of life, it is God’s life, you said, so does God’s life see condemnation, does God’s righteousness perish?
Sir, you can’t demarcate Spiritual birth from spiritual growth?
You are asking what are the epistles for?
They are for revelation, development in ministry, maturity in that which we have received, warning against lifestyles that do not reflect our righteousness.
Cos we all know the reason for school is to grow our kids mentally, spiritual development and growth is never same as spiritual birth!!
You even said Hypergrace is the reason sins are everywhere.
Bro, how many churches preach Hypergrace?
So all the sins in rccg is sponsored by Hypergrace?
All the lies in deeperlife?
They don’t tell lies in your own churches?
No one has fornicated there?
You people talk like you produce some better saints than we do.
Look through politics, most offices are filled with members of prominent Pentecostal churches yet corruption is the order of the day!
I was thinking you were different but bro, on this, you messed up!
Like you really messed up!
Like this is real mess up!
Like you should learn Bible before teaching!
Omo, you mess up!
See the way you are talking with confidence!
Your pastor that wears earring, if he was in Naija, do you think holiness people will count him as saved?
You dare say sins are everywhere because of Hypergrace!
PFN will not settle these issues o!
Cos we be on our own but yall won’t let us rest!
We didn’t die for sins eternally, Jesus did that.
We didn’t give anyone eternal life, Jesus did that!
If you claim a believer who goes into traditional religion is unsaved, are you unsaved every time you sin or you are now measuring sins by which one is too high that the blood of Jesus has not paid for?
Sir, don’t reach me inbox on this one o, this one na public matter, if he sure for you say Hypergrace nor Dey Bible, set up a proper debate on the subject, I will meet you there cos at this point, we need that convo!!
IS Grok REALLY, REALLY an AI chatbot?
Stuck in traffic this morning and trying to distract myself from the prospect of missing my flight, I decided to grok a bit, just to confirm if I am the only mad one or if Grok shares in some of my alleged insanity.
"This guy you want to marry, is he really, really born again?" Whenever I reference such popular statements in my teaching, it is usually to say how theologically inaccurate it is, even though the intent may be noble. I would then say that the born again experience itself cannot be improved, therefore there are no degrees of born-againness, meaning that you are either born again or not born again. I would then clarify that what such statements actually intend to query is transformation and not regeneration. Anyone who has not heard me teach this hasn't heard me teach on holiness or transformation, at all.
So, seeing that there has lately been some noise about a clip of me saying there is a gradient in holiness or something of that hue (truth is, I haven't watched that clip, but I know what I have said – here & there – in that regard), I decided to disturb Grok this morning.
First I asked Grok to theologically differentiate between Righteousness & Holiness. It came back with the typical, orthodox response associating Righteousness with Justification (imputed & positional) and linking holiness with Sanctification (practical & progressive).
I followed up with the question in the screenshot. I asked:
"Theologically therefore, can a Christian be more holy than another, even though they are both equally righteous?"
First line of Grok's response, was:
"Yes, theologically, one Christian can be more (progressively) holy than another, even while both are equally righteous in the sight of God."
The last paragraph of Grok's response went:
"In short: Equal in Christ’s righteousness and positional holiness—yet capable of real differences in progressive holiness here and now. This is the consistent biblical and theological framework across historic Protestant, Reformed, and evangelical teaching."
I chucked to see Grok appealling to "historic Protestant, Reformed, and evangelical teaching." As if to say, "if you think I am insane in saying theologically, a Christian can be said to be more holy (progressively) than another, I got my view from historic Protestant, Reformed, and evangelical teaching."
WHERE THE CRITICS ARE RIGHT, but...
Granted, a theological case can be made for the view that in a sense a believer can be more holy than another, yet, it is another matter how believers express it.
Some believers pray in tongues more than others, yet, it isn't Christlike to boast to a whole church: "I thank my God that I pray in tongues MORE THAN you ALL..." Therefore, if you wake-up and begin to flaunt your supposed superior holiness in the faces of believers, it may actually be the evidence that you are not so holy after all, because flaunting in this case is synonym for boasting. Boasting, in context is not one of the evidences of holiness. Here then, the critics would be right, if there was no context to the clip other than just an attempt to say I am more holy than some believers (real or imagined).
But there is a context. It is that everytime some believer comes up to charge the church to holy living, some other believers (trying to discredit or discourage the preacher), would say things like: "see how he is talking as if he is more holy." It is against the backdrop of this blackmail strategy that I usually respond with, "So what? I may actually be holier than you, and you may truly be holier than me, because we are not all holy to the same degree." I say it in more or less a polemical context, to bite the bullet and return to the main issue of advocating for purity.
If context is missing in clip, I'd still expect critics to at least say, "I can grant the theology, but I don't see the piety – without context."
But Gotcha!
NB:
I just asked Gemini too

@belovedofJah_CJ@odewoyeM@DrPower_ Wow

@belovedofJah_CJ@Lawal_oluwadami@BrotherPossible If no be bias and the urge to always want to criticize him , those that listen to that videos know fully well that there is or might be context to that clip.
Always, give grace to people expecially those you know that they have been faithful with word before criticizing
