Very true in the Nigerian/African context. But may vary significantly globally.

cutecommend:
It is wrong to shame ladies in general for being single at 30yrs and plus because there are some other reasons that could make them single. And to talk of guys that may be shaming, most of them may have their own bad sides.

While it is clear that several ladies contributed to their being single at 30yrs and plus, I can tell you that many did not contribute to that.

Abel Damina is a preterist also an amillinnialist and here is why his teachings are a complete error and ought to be discarded no matter how good it sounds to the ears!

1. Original Biblical Eschatology
The Bible, particularly Revelation 20, describes a literal 1,000-year reign of Christ (Premillennialism), which many early Church Fathers (e.g., Justin Martyr, Irenaeus) affirmed as futuristic.
Key prophecies in Daniel, Isaiah, and Zechariah emphasize a future restoration of Israel, a physical resurrection, and Christ’s earthly kingdom—elements often spiritualized or redefined in Amillennialism/Preterism.

2. Amillennialism: Key Deviations
Symbolic Interpretation: Amillennialism treats the 1,000 years as symbolic of the Church Age, rejecting a literal millennium. This contrasts with the early Jewish-Christian apocalyptic tradition that expected a tangible Messianic kingdom.
Replacement Theology: It often merges Israel and the Church, suggesting the Church fulfills Israel’s promises. However, original biblical teaching maintains distinctions (Romans 11:25–27; Acts 1:6–7).

3. Preterism: Key Deviations
Fulfillment in AD 70: Full Preterism claims all prophecies (including Christ’s return) were fulfilled in the destruction of Jerusalem (AD 70). This contradicts:
The physical resurrection (1 Corinthians 15) and future Second Coming (Acts 1:11; Revelation 1:7).
Jesus’ global reign (Psalm 2; Zechariah 14:9), which wasn’t actualized in the 1st century.
Partial Preterism (more common) still spiritualizes key prophecies, undermining the original cosmic-scale restoration anticipated in Scripture.

4. Historical Context
Early Church (1st–3rd century) overwhelmingly held Premillennial views (cf. Papias, Tertullian). Amillennialism gained traction later with Augustine’s allegorical hermeneutic (4th century), while Preterism emerged post-Reformation.
Original teachings relied on a literal-grammatical hermeneutic, whereas Amillennialism/Preterism often employ allegory, especially for prophetic texts.

5. Theological Implications
Covenantal Continuity vs. Discontinuity: Original teaching preserves God’s unilateral covenants with Israel (e.g., Abrahamic, Davidic). Amillennialism/Preterism blur these, risking supersessionism.
Hope and Imminence: A future, literal return of Christ anchors Christian hope (Titus 2:13). Preterism’s past fulfillment can diminish this expectancy.

Conclusion
Amillennialism and Preterism diverge from original biblical teaching by:
Replacing literal promises with symbolic/spiritualized interpretations.
Redefining Israel’s role and the nature of God’s kingdom.
Departing from the early Church’s futurist eschatology.
These frameworks reflect later theological developments rather than the apostolic and prophetic foundation of Scripture.

The Bible reminds us, "It is the truth you know that sets you free" (John 8:32, paraphrased). Yet, in an age of unprecedented misinformation—both inside and outside the church—human curiosity and love for novelty often overshadow the pursuit of truth. Today, if something is new and trending, crowds flock to it without question. Mega-churches promising prosperity spring up daily, drawing multitudes. But what fuels this stampede?

Is it the doctrine, the grandeur of the auditorium, the preacher’s charisma, the music, or the architecture? While these may attract, only one reason should define our choice of worship: sound doctrine. Yet, 99% of congregants are there for every reason except doctrine—echoing Paul’s warning in 2 Timothy 4:3:

"For the time will come when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears, they will heap up teachers to suit their own passions."

No matter how large or influential a church may seem, if its doctrine is flawed, its impact is void. Eternal destiny hinges on the truth we embrace. As 2 Timothy 4:4 warns, many will "turn away from truth and wander into myths."

Two Doctrines, One Choice

Truth: The unchanging gospel of Christ.

Fables: Fabricated stories that cannot save.

What marks a true gospel preacher?

They center on Christ’s doctrine, emphasizing diligent study of Scripture—context, purpose, and audience—to avoid distortion (1 Corinthians 15:1-4).

The Gospel in Four Pillars (1 Corinthians 15:1-4)

"Wherein you stand" (v.1): Anchor yourself in this doctrine.

"By which you are saved" (v.2): Remember grace alone saves—forgetting this risks eternity.

"Christ died for our sins" (v.3): His death paid sin’s infinite debt—past, present, and future. (Note: Faith in Christ is required for salvation.)

"He rose again" (v.4): He swapped our mortality for His divinity. Anything less is fiction—and fiction cannot save.

To be continued...

That is the problem. If you have 95% pure water and 5% poison. That 5% can kill you. God has taken the sin of the whole world. No pure fountain gives forth bitter water!

ebubeson:
Jesus primary reason of coming to this world was not to make you a successful business person, a rich person, a visionary leader, a prosperous career man or woman, a guru in the oil industry, a global figure e.t.c. All these are part of what the power of Jesus can do, but these are not His primary purpose of coming.

Jesus primary purpose of coming is to take away sin, break sinful addictions, to give us power to be holy and make heaven.

John 1:29 "The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world"..

Please pray this prayer very genuinely now: "Lord Jesus, forgive my sins now, take away my sins, come into my life and be my Lord and personal Saviour in Jesus name. Amen".

You can even call it the words of Tinubu, anything your sect permit just call it but Christ is the word of God made flesh!

eninn:
(John 1:14)

We must note - first of all - that these words mentioned in the Gospel of John are not the words of “Christ,” but rather the words of “John.” Christ did not say such words at all.

Christ never said that He was the Word

With extensive study and knowledge, we will find that they are the words of a Jewish person named (Philo of Alexandria) (20 BC - 40 AD) who lived in the Hellenistic era in Alexandria. He was a philosopher and thinker who was influenced by Greek philosophy.

It is known that John wrote his Gospel after the death of Philo and borrowed the term from him.the Word

Then if the Word is God and the Word became flesh, this means God becoming flesh, and this is a change in God, and their book says 6 “I the Lord do not change. So you, the descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed. [Malachi 3:6]

The world’s governments may strive to broker peace between Israel and her adversaries, but every human effort—no matter how well-intentioned—will ultimately descend into greater chaos. Even if Israel were to accept a two-state solution today, such an agreement would lack divine sanction. Why? Because Jerusalem, the future throne of Christ’s millennial reign (Daniel 2:44), cannot be divided. To split it would undermine the very foundations of Christianity and Judaism, as prophesied in Ezekiel 37:22:

"I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel. There will be one king over all of them, and they will never again be two nations or divided into two kingdoms."

History confirms this truth. From the UN Partition Plan to the Camp David Accords, every proposed compromise has been rejected—not by chance, but because Jerusalem’s destiny is indivisible. The city is the epicenter of a cosmic struggle: the Christian Messiah and the Muslim Mahdi will clash for supremacy at Al-Aqsa, the sacred ground where the First and Second Temples stood and where the Third Temple will rise.

This is no mere political conflict; it is the unfolding of divine covenant. As Isaiah 9:7 declares:

"Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David’s throne, establishing it with justice and righteousness forever."

So we wait, not with fear but with hope, for the fulfillment of God’s promises. Peace will come—not through treaties, but through the return of the King. It could be today. It could be tomorrow. Until then, let us rejoice, for His coming is certain.

Peace to Israel—and to all who eagerly await Him.

Ohh gullibles can't do without it nahh, it's all over, watch out on rear view mirrors.

Hold Fast to the Faith: A Warning and a Promise



"Hold on to what you have," declares the Lord to the faithful—"for I am coming soon!" To those who endure in patience, He promises protection from the coming judgment that will test the world. But what must we hold onto? His Word, His Name, and His Promise.



The Reformation’s cry echoes still:



Sola Fides—Faith alone in Christ alone.



Sola Gratia—Grace alone.



Sola Scriptura—Only His Word.



Not Scripture plus sacraments. Not Jesus plus Mary. Not faith plus works. Who will be found ready at His return? Only the Bible-believing, prophecy-studying Evangelical church—those who long for His appearing (2 Timothy 4:.



The Laodicean Church: A Deadly Deception (Revelation 3:14–22)



Apostasy—the deliberate rejection of Christ’s deity and His atoning sacrifice—is rampant today. Unlike mere doctrinal error (which may stem from ignorance or heresy but still allows for true faith), apostasy is a willful departure from the Gospel (2 Timothy 4:3–4).



Prosperity Mega-Churches and Sectarian Groups (Jehovah’s Witnesses, Mormons, Seventh-day Adventists, God's kingdom society etc.) parade as Christian but lack genuine faith. Prosperity mega churches twist the Gospel into a wealth-and-power crusade, boasting of grand cathedrals, overflowing coffers, and worldly success—yet where is self-denial? Where is the true Gospel?



Jesus stands outside these churches, knocking (Revelation 3:20). Their leaders and followers alike are outside salvation, not for common sins but for the unpardonable sin: rejecting Christ. They mock the cross, trading salvation for gold—yet Christ offers true gold (salvation) without money (Isaiah 55:1).



To them, He says: "You are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind, and naked" (Revelation 3:17).



How to Overcome?



Leave Laodicea. There is no remedy for apostasy—only total separation.



Return to Christ alone. Unlike churches where truth is mixed with error (Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia), Laodicea has no Gospel left to save.



Catholicism and Mainstream Protestantism have strayed into religion, obscuring—but not erasing—the Gospel. They are not apostate like Laodicea, where mammon worship replaces Christ.



The choice is clear: Hold fast to the true Faith—or face judgment.

Nigeria's Defence Chief, General Christopher Musa, has ignited a major debate by proposing a complete fence along Nigeria's borders with Cameroon, Niger, Chad, and Benin to combat escalating insecurity and the influx of armed groups like Boko Haram and ISWAP. Citing examples like Pakistan's fence with Afghanistan, he argues this is critical for Nigeria's survival and sovereignty. In this video, we break down this unprecedented proposal, analyzing the reasons behind it, the immense potential costs, logistical challenges, socio-economic impacts, and whether this controversial measure can truly solve Nigeria's deep-rooted security crisis. Is fencing the nation a viable strategy or a sign of desperation?

The Warning to the Seven Churches: Holding Fast to Gospel Truth

In John’s vision on the island of Patmos, four churches—Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea—were sternly cautioned against compromising the purity of the gospel. These churches emerged from the early church’s entanglement with Babylonian traditions, a spiritual adultery that began with the Pergamum church (Revelation 2:14–17).

The first "child" of this unholy union was Thyatira, often identified with the modern Catholic Church. Yet God promised to wage war against this corruption "with the sword of [His] mouth" (v. 16)—His untainted Word. True to His word, He raised reformers like Martin Luther, a Catholic priest whose conscience ignited the Protestant Reformation. This movement birthed the Sardis church, challenging the Roman papacy and reclaiming scriptural authority.

But the battle didn’t end there. Over time, Protestant seminaries and Bible institutes—meant to train faithful pastors—succumbed to intellectualism: documentaries, hypotheses, and rationalism diluted the gospel’s power. Walter Martin aptly called this shift "the cult of liberalism." The result? A church lulled into spiritual slumber, where sermons entertain crowds but leave no lasting conviction. The light of faith dimmed; the Spirit was quenched.

The Philadelphia church stands as a beacon of endurance in this decline, while the rise of apostate prosperity megachurches (to be explored in Part Two) marks a further departure from truth.

Awakening from the Sleep
Today, many sit in pews untouched by the gospel’s transformative power. True preaching isn’t about drawing crowds—it’s about wielding the sword of God’s Word to pierce hearts and awaken souls.

Stay tuned for Part Two, where we dissect the Laodicean compromise and the peril of prosperity gospel
