Bsssss:
Your perspective on Rev. Akindayomi's succession decision is truly insightful, and it speaks to a widely held appreciation for what is seen as an act of profound selflessness.

The transition of leadership from Rev. Akindayomi to Pastor E.A. Adeboye stands as a powerful testament to a kind of leadership that is becoming increasingly rare. In a world where dynastic and corporate models of succession often prevail, Rev. Akindayomi's choice to follow what he believed was a divine directive, rather than succumbing to the natural human desire to keep power within his family, is not just a story; it's a profound lesson.

This decision was not made for personal gain or emotional comfort. It was a choice born out of a deep-seated faith in a vision that was bigger than himself, his family, and the church as it existed then. It was an act that prioritized God's will over human convenience, and the result—a global ministry that has touched millions of lives—is undeniable proof of its spiritual integrity.
It's a model of leadership that calls us to consider:

What would happen if more leaders, in all spheres of life, were willing to let go of personal interests and allow their decisions to be guided by a higher purpose? Rev. Akindayomi's legacy is a beacon of hope, showing that true greatness lies not in who we hand power to, but in how we are willing to step aside so that a greater purpose can be fulfilled.

My brother the world will keep running in a cycle.

Check fashion trend, some of the trendy fashion today were what our fathers wore in the ancient times.

Today youths want to dress half naked, indirectly they want to go back to Adam's era.


By the time they exhaust that, the new generation will come back to adopt the full clothedness again and it continues to cycle like that.


In the past, men enjoyed being the sole provider for their woman and breadwinner of the family, it made them feel masculine and complete, western culture brought the shared responsibility based on feminism that preached gender equality. Before then, men has upper hand in securing good jobs and all that, but with gender equality gaining ground, things changed as women now had better opportunities in certain jobs and fields. Today it's almost on equal basis, no longer gender based. Couples now share roles and responsibilities because most women now earn more than their husbands, things that never happened in the ancient times.


Gradually women now want to take up men's roles while men wish to take on women roles or run away from responsibilities.


So don't worry, it's part of life's cycle, it will surely get to that stage and then humans will want to revert back to the old ways where women stayed at home to care for the home/kids while the men went out to work and bring back bread.

These things are nothing but cycles of life that nobody can tame except time. Only time can tame it

They are misinformed churchgoers!

Preaching in Bible times was two types?

First was the preaching God's prophets did before our common era (b.c.e) back then the nation of Israel had two Kings the first is their God who brought them out of Egypt and conquered all inhabitants of Canaan for His worshipers to inherit the place this King is a Spirit who lives forever the other kings were humans that Israelites later demanded for themselves! 1Samuel 8:6-7
Their real King (God) has the right to send town criers (prophets) to deliver urgent messages or warnings to them so this prophets (town criers) can stand in any of their streets or cities to deliver the message of their God (King) at any time.
But in our common era (c.e) things have changed a lot the Israelites had turned against their God (King) countless times {Matthew 21:43} so this King or God no longer send town criers (prophets) to enter into their streets shouting.
WHY? Because by the time Jesus walked the earth another nation out of several nations that's been ruling over Israelites is in charge of their public affairs so it is inappropriate for any town crier (prophet) to enter the streets shouting in the name of any God as their rulers may take such as disturbing the peace in their domain that's the reason why God did not send John the baptist into their towns or streets when it's time for this prophet to declare the coming of Christ rather this prophet was shouting in the wilderness! Matthew 3:1
So it was in the wilderness that faithful Jews were going to meet this prophet to know the message their God had for them! Matthew 3:5-6

After Jesus (a carpenter) got baptized by John it was revealed to John that this is the Christ that John came to prepare the way for {John 1:33} so Jesus took over the job from John the baptist and from that moment John began receiving less attention while Jesus started getting more {John 3:25-30} that was how Jesus began preaching and teaching and all the people were going to him.

QUESTION!
Was Jesus shouting in the streets?
ANSWER!
NO!
He first gathered his trusted childhood friends and started going from house to house preaching and the theme of his preaching is the same as that of John the baptist {Matthew 3:2; 4:17} but instead of shouting in the wilderness he approaches doors and greets householders before delivering his speech this reminded his disciples of what has been foretold about the Christ:

Look! My servant, whom I support! My chosen one, whom I have approved! I have put my spirit in him; He will bring justice to the nations.  He will not cry out or raise his voice, And he will not make his voice heard in the street. No crushed reed will he break, And no smoldering wick will he extinguish. In faithfulness he will bring justice. He will not grow dim or be crushed until he establishes justice in the earth; And the islands keep waiting for his law. Isaiah 42:1-4 compare to Matthew 12:19
So Jesus commissioned the preaching and teaching of God's Kingdom message from house to house and door to door so that his real disciples don't disturb passersby with noise. They are to go and knock people's doors, greet householders and ask for permission to speak before delivering their messages! Matthew 10:11-13
Do you know a religion whose preaching and teaching activities is the same as this today?
God bless you and may you have Peace!

Girls of these days are simply commodities, Men are the buyers.
Picture a shop owner displaying his/her wares for potential customers to see and patronise, That's the same way these girls display themselves.

Social media= Market.
The Girls = Goods.
Men = customers.

Guys, today I believe women are truly different creatures.

I opened a small business for my babe – just something modest. She's now pulling in about 100k monthly, but ever since the money started flowing, her attitude has changed completely.

Imagine, I sell her products sometimes and give old customers a small discount—like ₦100—and she starts fighting me. Argument upon argument.

Then if I borrow small money from her during emergencies (just like ₦2k or ₦5k), wahala go burst. Even when she knows I have money and I'm definitely paying back, the way she reacts eh, like I’m begging her.

She forgets one thing:
The capital is mine. 90% of the customers are mine and everything she’s using today, I handed it to her on a platter.

Now I’m realizing that, if this business grows bigger, she might not even want me anymore. She could decide to go solo and live her own life.

So now I’m asking you all:

Is the best solution to avoid empowering a woman financially ?

I was doing it with the mindset of being educated and forward-thinking, but now I dey reason am twice.

What do you all think?

We living in pure Biblical Times.

I said here days ago that Iran will be DESTROYED MILITARILY AND ECONOMICALLY. As we speak now Tehran is a ghost city as people have taken to their heels. its from DESTRUCTION to Death and Desolation of iran Economy and Military capabilities .

Few hrs ago, There were reports that the Supreme has Delegated some of his powers to the irgc and hv fled for his life.

As you watch what is playing out Live before us, you Need to Hold the Word of GOD, the Holy Bible in one Hand as We are PRATICALLY LIVING inside the Bible Endtimes as Prophesied thousands of years ago.

Most Important! Ensure you are living in the Consciousness of your Eternity as Anything could Happrn. The RAPTURE of the Church is at Hand

Tinubu is trying to fix problems by removing fuel subsidy even though it is hard, many leaders before him did not try. But Peter Obi never sees anything good about this government. He talks bad all the time because he’s still bitter he lost the election.
