Sunday Akanni

I quit the teenage phase of life some ten years ago, and I'm now in my late twenties (although I still look way younger than my actual age. Lol). But looking back, I'm grateful to God for certain decisions I made when I was a very young boy years back that set me up for a blissful adulthood.

For the sake of space and time, let's summarise them into five.

1. Accepting Jesus As Lord And Savior

We all must make decisions every day. However, certain decisions are greater than several other decisions we make. These are decisions that change our lives forever.

The greatest decision I made that transformed my life was when I decided to give my life genuinely to Jesus Christ years back as a young teenager, making the decision to serve HIM and to maintain a good relationship with HIM in spirit and in truth.

2. Discovery Of Life Purpose

My relationship with Jesus set me on the pathway of destiny and purpose fulfillment early enough. Hence, I don't experience idleness, hopelessness, and helplessness. I've never been stranded in my life. Jesus is sweet.

From a young age, I knew I was called to be a minister of Jesus Christ and His Kingdom, and I structured my life accordingly. I started preaching as a child and grew up doing ministry. It's blissful doing what you were created to do from a young age. One of the benefits is you gain mastery while still young.

3. Building A Structure That Promotes Holiness

The decision to walk with Jesus as a young chap changed everything about me and my relationship with God empowered me in all important ways. Despite being a very young chap, I could live above sin, the devil and hell. Hence, I couldn't even relate to addictions and heartaches and headaches that are prominent in the circle of many young folks.

While I'm not yet 100 percent perfect, I was able to build a structure around my life that prevents me from indulging in dirty things that easily destroy lives. So, even now, my life is fresh, devoid of the fatal scars of sin.

4. Utilizing My Talents And Gifts On A Global Scale

I not only discovered some of my talents and gifts as a young chap but also started deploying them (and reaping some measures of dividends) even while polishing them continuously.

Many years ago as a very young teenager, as consistent with my destiny, I began writing and publishing books despite the little resources at my disposal at that time. One of the earliest books I published on the Internet was on premarital sex, and it was made available to readers from different parts of the world.

One of those days, I got an email from one of the readers from America I think. He introduced himself (he was a much older person, older than me with maybe over 40 years), and he was conducting postgraduate academic research on premarital sex in America, hence getting different academic books for his thesis. One way or the other, he got my book too.

Amazingly, his intention was to read the book to get some information for his academic research work, but God started using the book to convict his heart of his immoral lifestyle. Hence, he messaged me to inform me of his lifestyle (his immoral partner, etc) and what eventually happened.

I was so delighted that God could use a young teenager like me then in a small part of Nigeria to touch a much older professional in faraway America simply because I yielded to Him.

Hence, if you will yield to the Lord too, He will make a beautiful story out of your life even from right now!

5. Learning How The Internet Can Be Utilized To Make Money

I developed an interest in researching how the Internet can be utilized to make money without compromising good morals, and I'm still reaping the rewards of the skills even now, as I'm a bi-vocational minister.

Finally, the greatest decision you can make today is to embrace Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, and start nurturing an intimate relationship with God your Father. This is what will empower you to live a life of complete dominion here on earth, and make you a sure candidate of Heaven (the rapture will take place anytime soon)

Run away from sin, and live your life for GOD. It is your destiny to live inside GOD through Jesus Christ Who is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Only Jesus Christ could boldly proclaim: "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (John 14:6).

If you want to submit to Jesus, simply say this prayer:

"LORD JESUS, I believe in my heart that You died for me and You raised on the third day for my justification. And so I confess with my mouth that You are my Lord and Savior. From today, I belong to the family of God. Thank You for giving me eternal life."

Jesus loves you too. Amen

You gave your life to a Jew who was killed using just three nails and some wood like they do common criminals at the time. A Jew that screamed and asked why his nonexistent dad forsook him lol. A Jew that only 2% of Israelis believe in and there are far more Jew Muslims than there are jew Christians. these are people whose ancestors lived during the time and saw this Jesus live and die but they don't believe he was dying for themthem
You, a Nigerian however, read from a book and concluded that 98% of the Jews are wrong because logic favours storytelling over experiencing something, Amirite? you must know Obasanjo more than the people living with and around him because you read Punch newspapers and check internet for news about him. Punch at least is a daily paper whereas bible was written centuries later

The worst part is the book you read and conclude on is a slavery endorsing book handed to your ancestors by their pink skinned slavemasters. a book that didnt even acknowledge your existence; or where in your Jewish mythology book called Bible is it written that Noah left israel, traveled down to the deep jungles of Africa to warn your forefathers of an impending "global" flood?

Wake up people

1. Girls are the same species but a totally different human being( hypergamous)

2. There are no friends, people only wear masks they tailored for you or the situation.

3. Sex is sacred and everytime you engage in it your tie your soul to whoever you engage in the act with (for una wet sabi knack olosho then you wonder why you become oloshi)

4. Life is balanced ( everybody have problems )

5. There is nothing like afterlife... When you die you would be exactly how you were before you were born.... Poof!

If you look deep deep the 2 imported religion na some people idea to shape the society.
The true religion na traditional religion. Most of the clerics of the 2 imported religions indulge in traditional ways. LET STOP PAINTING TRADITIONAL RELIGION EVIL. It has being proven many times that it works well. Pluck leaves and roots for healing, traditional religion deals more with nature, things God created. Africa wake up

Thank God for you

I'm in my late 20s as well and I wasted my teenage years drinking, skipping classes and indecent lifestyle.

Food for thought: If you were not born into a Christian family, would you be a Christian?

IMO, you are just a brainwashed African who thinks the colonizers' religion bequeathed to him is the best.

If you were born into a Muslim family, you would have said Islam was the best and advocated for everything Islamic.

See? Brainwashed

Can you make the sacrifices those pastors make? You think it is easy to serve God and lead people to the right part. Do it if you can.

Man is an upcoming religious charlatan and pulpit bandit.

A con artist using a made-up cult, later turned religion to scam the gullible and unlettered.

Look at the response of a so-called Christian?

I drew you out and you showed your true colors.

When I say you people are confused, pretentious twats, who tout some religion because of what they can get from it, its sounds harsh.

I mean, just look at you.

H-Y-P for the HYP for the HYPOCRITE!!!
