Religion / The Church Is Also A Market Place by iykeosoka(m): 12:16pm On May 07, 2020
THE CHURCH IS ALSO A MARKET PLACE

Now that you are reading this; I crave your indulgence to follow me on this journey of Imagination.

The Federal Government in a bid to follow through on the ‘lockdown ease’ directives has recently just given an approval for Churches to resume public gatherings.
Although, this has come with a lot of skepticism, especially from the non-Christian populations, yet many devoted Church goers trooped in their numbers to resume Sunday services, tagged in many centers as victory celebrations.

It was not business as usual as the protocol for entry into the Church premises was very strict.
No one was allowed to enter the church premises without a face-mask including children. There was a 5-10seconds compulsory temperature check before the sanitizers dispenser, at the entrance of the Large Church complex.

Inside the Church the Preacher, Choir and entire congregation were all masked, sitting arrangements were different and there was a three-inch gap between each member of the congregation.

The usual hugs, handshakes and playful aspects of Church fellowship was missing, even the children were not allowed to play with each other.

Now, back to reality, I can go on and on but let’s stop to reason this matter. A lot of people have been saying; why should market place be open and churches closed, I believe the Church is also a market place but the transaction is different. This is not the time for the Church to play the victim card, this is a time for us to see what God is set to do in and with the Church in these times.

The description of Church as given in the first two paragraphs above is not the kind of church I am eager to go. What is Church without love? And what is Love when it cannot be expressed?

Why are we in a hurry to rush back to gather in the large Church complexes? The Church is NOT CLOSED as a matter of fact the Church has never been more open. Strip the “Church” of all the large buildings, large parking lots and Children play grounds and what you have left is the church- THE PEOPLE. This should be our focus. Perhaps we are mistaken to think that people gather every Sunday to come listen to a sermon from ONE MAN. This is obviously not the case.

The current reality and truth is that the larger population of church - goers don’t even have access and resources to follow “online services” diligently as they should. This is why the need for small group meetings is crucial, and let’s not forget this is how the Church actually started and thrived as recorded in the BOOKS.

In my opinion, I believe the lockdown ease should include permission for Churches to meet in small groups of 10 at most. The Church has the capacity to grow massively at this level, and the preventive measures can be easily adhered to at this level, this way, when we are finally able to resume large gatherings to celebrate zero case of Covid-19, the Church would have experienced an unprecedented growth to the Glory of God.

Literature / Rant On Women And Sex Dolls by iykeosoka(m): 7:39pm On Jan 20, 2018
Rant against women!
So it's a couple of minutes past midnight. There is this talk about sex dolls, and I see certain posts that suggest women may not be happy with the development. I'm angry. Why are women so stupid, self-centered, self-serving, narcissistic bunch of people? I think the sex dolls are faaaaaaaaaar more humane than women would ever be, and I'm not even trying to joke.
Let me start this rant with the Bible. According to the Bible, Eve (Mother of the women) let herself be deceived by the serpent. Adam's sin is called the 'sin of love' because he only seems to sin as part of him; Eve, has already sinned. In fact, what Eve does is so despicable that Paul, a Jewish scholar who writes most of the New testament warns young Timothy not to allow women carry leadership positions in the church.
Certain mystics believe that the story of Adam and Eve is a mere symbol, and Eve's fall symbolizes a period in human history when women discovered certain control over men, and began to abuse this power. If you remember the book of Genesis, you notice that God made Eve to keep Adam company, to be his 'helper'. In a more modern term, Eve was meant to be Adam's manager. Any manager has a certain level of control over what he is managing and so did Eve. It is this control that women started abusing, and is metaphorically described as "eating the fruit". Biologically, it Is said to be the reason why women have bigger foreheads than men. The part of the brain that is estimated based on material stuff is the front brain, and guess where it is, fore-head!
Men, how many times have you done things you do not want to do just to make her happy? You can't count abi! You think she displeased herself to make you happy? Lies! If she puts anything into the relationship, she does so for herself. She gives you stuff? Well that's only because she can't rest without giving you stuff. She cooks your meal? It's programmed bro! She cannot bear to see you go hungry. Its just herself she is satisfying in the end! She takes care of your children? She needs those children more than you do; she would need love from them when she becomes elderly. Everything she does revolves around her selfish desires:
You see a girl you like, you have to try and impress her. If you do it too much, she is ticked off; if you do it too little, she is ticked off too. You got to maintain a balance. After she is impressed, you have to keep impressing her. I don't think it's necessary to mention that the only way to impress women is to give something, either material or emotional. You can't stop. There is no rest for you bro. You gotta keep giving, otherwise she's gone to somebody who can give. That's not all, you got to also make sure no other guy out-gives you. Now there is always going to be somebody who has more than you to give. You have to recognize this person and make sure your woman does not make mistake and go anywhere near that person. You know why? Because if she gets close to that person, she's gone. And you know what else? She would blame you for it. "Why did you let me go?", she would ask.
You know what else you got to do? You got to abide by their rules. These sick perverted feminists have made it more confusing for us. The girls do nothing unless you put a ring on their finger, after which they get married and get fat! So basically, we date you, we still wash our own clothes, cook our meals, pay your bride price, marry you and still have to please them all the days of our lives. The few that pity us and wash our clothes for us, or cook for us, are busy adding reading our messages to their chores. There is no escape for us fam! That's not all!
Apart from trying to impress her all the days of your life, you also have to make yourself susceptible to their manipulations. Women hate it when they cannot manipulate you. They would love you more when you know they are manipulating you and you still fall for it. The wickedness! That's not all oh! You dare not act like you are too comfortable around her. She would leave you not because she wants you, but just to teach you a lesson. You can't have her see other guys and you are not jealous. She would hate that. She is jealous when you are with girls why wouldn't you be jealous when she is boys? She would leave you just to prove to herself that she does not need somebody that does not care enough to be jealous!
You really think women are hurt when you cheat? Lies. The only reason they appear to be hurt is 'coz they cannot cheat too. Think about it: a woman who because she does not like blow jobs, bans blow jobs from the matrimonial home would now be hurt if women could have also have sex the way men do; like a sport. Haven't you heard that women now stay happily in a cheating relationship after they learn to cheat?
The final one now is the excuse that men make more money in the commercial sphere. That are using the 'male-dominated society' excuse to form victims and gain sympathy. Don't mind them oh! Evil people!
Sex dolls and they have come out, guilty tripped our men calling anyone who even has interest in the dolls 'irresponsible', 'sinner', bla bla bla, but when they had their toys dominanting the sex industry, it was perfect then. It was not the coming of the Armageddon oh!
Guys, you see these women just want control. They are becoming control freaks. See the subtle signs; they don't know how to lose arguments, they don't know how to handle competitions, they don't know how to handle rejections. They know nothing!
