@OlamibodeAAB@lollypeezle The repent you speaking of isn’t “I’m sorry or forgive me” repent
The word in that verse was in similitude of “sorrow, sadness or disappointment”
Check that verse in several versions…
Even that being said, the behaviour at that point wasn’t the original intention for man
A pastor got a distress call from Port Harcourt
The lady who called him was in a serious dilemma
What happened?
It was her wedding day.
After the joining and reception, she and her husband retired to a hotel for their honeymoon
They rested a bit and consummated the union
After the consummation, she fell asleep.
When she woke up at about 9pm, her husband was not by her side
Where could he have gone?
She waited for a while and then decided he must have gone to thank some of their guests who were lodged in the same hotel with them for the wedding ceremony.
She felt it would be appropriate for her to check on them too, and thank them because most of them would be checking out very early the next morning.
She dressed up and took the elevator to the ground floor.
She knew the room number of the best man, her husband's best friend
She walked there eagerly
When she got there, she saw something that shocked her to the core
Her husband and the best man were both naked and
doing the unthinkable
She screamed and fainted.
They rushed her back to her room with the hotel staff's support
They lied that she must have been overwhelmed by the wedding activities
She eventually regained consciousness
Her husband told her not to shout or tell anybody what she witnessed
He said he was saying farewell to a partner who had stood by him for many years, and it was not meant for her to witness.
Side note: A strong mindset would have called off the whole sham right there and without any sentiment.
A weak mindset would think, "Am I at fault?" "Is something wrong with me?" "What will people say?" "My marriage is over on day one!"
She could not unsee what she had seen, and embarrassing herself by calling attention to it was not a comfortable thing.
She lay on the bed all night, weighing her options.
She couldn't even imagine him touching her again or even regarding him as her husband.
He was irritating to her in every way
This was when she started scrolling through her phone, and she saw this pastor on X.
A random pastor who didn't know her from Adam.
She decided to talk to him and share the challenge she was facing
She reached out, and the pastor picked up her call
They talked for a while
The pastor told her she has to leave the marriage
She said there must be a path to redemption for her husband through the Holy Spirit
The pastor said, In his experience, it is best to leave people with certain sexual preferences alone than try to change them because their choice is innate and it is up to them to turn their lives around or leave it as it is.
She said she would really like the pastor to pray for her husband and deliver him from the spirit that was troubling him.
The pastor told her to give the phone to her husband.
Her husband appreciated the pastor's call and said the sinner's prayer
The wife believed he had now turned a new leaf, and she resumed sexual relations with him
She got pregnant.
One day, she went to the office and took ill due to the pregnancy. The doctor recommended bed rest.
She returned home earlier than usual, used her key to access their flat through the rear exit, and discovered her husband with another young man on her matrimonial bed, doing the unthinkable
She packed her bags that day and left the union.
She called the pastor to share what she saw. The pastor was shocked.
The pastor told her a woman had written to him asking him to talk to her son, who was exhibiting certain strange sexual behaviour.
The pastor said he called her husband, believing he had been cured, and asked him to help counsel the young man due to his previous experience.
It was that young man that the wife caught her husband with.
PS: Certain afflictions are a result of weak-mindedness. The weak do cruel things in the name of being unable to control themselves or being unable to help themselves.
The strong train themselves not to yield to weak impulses, and they take ownership of their thinking process and decision-making parameters.
Distance yourself from weak minded people, they will hurt you over and over again
You see believers today full of condemnation.
You wonder where they got it from
When did it become cool to act, think, talk, and imbibe the culture of the Pharisees so much that a follower of Jesus and Pharisees became the same?
A woman was caught in adultery
A Christian says, "Put her out of the church; she is not worthy to be a part of our fellowship, she has betrayed the faith."
A Pharisee says, "Put her to death, that is the law of Moses."
Jesus says, "Neither do I condemn you, go and DO NOT DO THIS AGAIN."
I know a woman who was dating a married man for many years
When she was doing it, she found an excuse to justify herself
She didn't do it because she was broke, hungry, or lacking
Her parents provided all that she needed, she had a job and she met the man in the course of her work
She was also a believer, with a very good standing in church
After her thirtieth birthday, she decided she was ready to get married
She began to fast and pray
She went from this mountain to that trusting God for a husband
The first suitor arrived, and they began to talk
The first thing she said was, "Cheating is a deal breaker for me."
The man agreed, and they got married.
Years later, she reached out to me and said she suspected that the man was cheating on her.
I said, "Okay"
She asked me to call him and talk to him because she could not tolerate cheating and would leave the marriage if the man persisted.
She also sent me the phone number of the other woman and asked me to call her and threaten her with God's wrath and vengeance if she does not leave her husband alone.
I told her that I cannot call the woman, but I will have a conversation with her husband and find out if what she said was true
It turned out that her husband was not cheating.
I called her and, with good evidence, showed her that her husband was not cheating.
She heaved a sigh of relief and began to scream, "I thought he was cheating, I would have done this, I would have done that, I would have burnt this down and destroyed that."
I told her that she would have done nothing.
The worst she would have done would be to leave the marriage, and another woman would have taken a place within a month.
She was shocked.
"Ha, what are you saying, sir?"
"When I discovered you were sleeping with a married man some years ago, did I condemn you?" I asked
"No, sir," she said
When you told me you wanted to move on from that relationship to become a wife to another man, did I judge you? I asked
"No, sir," She replied
I have no bone of condemnation in me.
The same way I did not condemn you, I will not condemn your husband or any woman he might have gotten involved with if he had been cheating on you.
The LORD detests differing weights, and dishonest scales do not please him.
I cannot show you the love of Christ to bring you out of an unprofitable lifestyle and then show others something else.
I am not a judge of relationships, I am not a condemner of people's lifestyle and choices
I have made my stand clear from the moment I met the Lord and chose to become an ambassador of Christ.
Christ is my message.
Christ and Christ alone.
I do not preach sin, judgment, or condemnation
I do not preach demons, evil, fire, and brimstone
I do not preach hell, death, and sickness
I did not give my life to those things, and I do not represent that brand
I represent Christ and the fullness of His life as revealed to all men, regardless of their situation, circumstances, choices, worldview, belief system, and way of life
I am full of the Holy Spirit, and I am anointed to bring the divine life of Christ to the consciousness of the people that they may see that light and become as He is.
She looked at me and said, "Sir, permit me to say this, sir, respectfully, you are weird".
"I know". I replied.
As you grow in your walk with Christ, you will come to a conclusion that is beautiful and glorious.
If you stay on Christ alone as your message, regardless of how tempting it is to jump on the bandwagon of popular opinion and pressure from those around you who are hell-bent on legislating morality and preaching right and wrong...
You will have a glorious ministry backed by the Holy Spirit in such a manner that you will not be able to explain it.
You will also have peace and an understanding of the realities of God that you cannot get from any other source.
Christ is pure, and preaching Christ makes you pure in all your ways.
Neither do I condemn you!

What must I do to counter a stand like this ?
What knowledge must a present in such a situation?
How do I prove that skin doesn’t matter in showing forth the wisdom and the power within the Zoe Life !
Not all this divisive, shallow discussion of something deconstructing…
This is the reason why Christians especially leaders must be well rounded individuals who can take conversations across many spheres.
The writer(s) of the post below clearly is inept….
We want to talk about this regarding Apostle Femi Lazarus.
A couple of days ago, here on Twitter, we saw some brethren saying AFL was now 'deconstructing'.
They were showing concern that he was on a dangerous ideological path.
Then today, we came across his latest podcast, and there, the concern became vivid.
His latest guest is called Joshua Maponga, and once you get to know him in a short while now, you'd might see our concern, too.
Firstly, Maponga is a popular and controversial figure known for his very questionable teachings.
He was formerly a Christian until he recently renounced the faith.
In fact, he was a bishop in the Seventh-day Adventist Church until he was excommunicated in 2020.
Why was he? Well, here were the reasons given by the church.
He said blasphemous things, such as calling Jesus 'this boy.'
At one time, he said, "The day a white Jesus dies for Black people, I will believe in a white Jesus.
The white people and their white Jesus promise Africans gold in heaven while they are taking gold from Africans.
It does not make sense at all that you are being promised to walk on gold in heaven while they are taking gold from you."
This is the person an apostle in charge of the sheep of Jesus has platformed.
It gets worse.
Maponga made it clear that he abandoned Christianity several years ago to embark on a pilgrimage of
reconnecting with Mother Earth.
In doing so, it forms part of a healing process for discovering his ancestral roots and reconnecting with cultural connections.
When Maponga was excommunicated from the Seventh-day Adventist Church, he began a pilgrimage.
He regards it as reconnecting with Mother Earth for a spiritual healing process aimed at reviving his
"ancestral roots."
He indicated that he had found his new church in the caves when he said:
"There is healing in the silence of nature. Take time to experience nature. Listen to the rocks & birds.
Take off your shoes and walk on the ground; there's no need for a pilgrimage to Mecca, Israel, or Nigeria.
Go to the sanctuary of nature and renew your soul…This is my new church."
So, we have an apostate, an idolater, a hater of God in fellowship with an apostle.
The reason we are sharing this is to first raise an alarm and ask the body of Christ to quickly intervene and help AFL.
Secondly, to raise a warning because this is dangerous to the flock of God.
Why are you introducing an apostate and a sorcerer, and an idolater to God's people?
Paul said:
2 Corin. 6:14
“Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?”
What fellowship?
What is the charge to apostles? Paul said:
1 Tim. 4:16
“Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.”
That is it. Only the doctrine of Christ saves the church.
It is the word that builds us till the day of Christ. Not the doctrines from those who have rejected God, like Maponga.
Finally, Paul said:
“Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.” — 2 Tim. 4:2
That is the charge. This is what Apostles must do. Apostle Femi Lazarus is on an ideological path that holds grave danger to the body.
We are calling now and raising the alarm that the authorities should intervene now, since believers are at stake.
As Paul said,
“As I urged you when I was going to Macedonia, remain at Ephesus so that you may charge certain persons not to teach any different doctrine,” — 1 Tim. 1:3
May God help us all.
Amen
It’s this small minded thinking that’s hindering the church… we think we are making strides but we are only converting the members of one tribe to another tribe….
Conversations like this show you external thinking, and your response as a believer should be…
“Continue using sex toys when you get married and you will feel it. You charge a sex toy for 4 hours and use it on yourself, then you want a man who has blood running through his veins to compete with sex toys”
—Jay2dwuld
When you arrive at the mercy or judgment sit…. This is what you will say to the master
Sir, I was able to juxtapose against the claims against the Non-necessity of the sacraments.
I also stood my ground against the speaking of doctrinal immaturity of the apostles.
