Whether you believe it or yes, one day, your knees will bow and your tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is the Lord.

It is not the will of God that any one perish(2 Peter 3:9), you and I included.

So, come boldly to Him now “... come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.”(Hebrews 4:16).

He has promised He will not cast you out. “ All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.”(John 6:37).

Jesus the Son of God has all the power to save you(Matthew 28:18). Power to save you from sin, sickness, Satan, and from all evil.

“... According to your faith be it unto you. ”(Matthew 9:29). Amen❤.

“ Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.

What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.

But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.

Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.

What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.”(1 Corinthians 6:15-20). Amen.

The Curse of Insight: Why Genius Has Always Been Misunderstood

Throughout the tapestry of human history, we have revered the products of genius—the art, the science, the technological leaps—while simultaneously casting a wary, often hostile, eye upon the geniuses themselves. From the philosophers of ancient Greece to the gifted child in a modern classroom, individuals with exceptionally high intelligence have consistently occupied a paradoxical space: celebrated in theory, yet stigmatized in practice. This is not a relic of a superstitious past, but a persistent pattern woven into the fabric of human interaction. Perhaps by examining this long and uncomfortable history, we can learn to recognize the pattern in ourselves and, finally, break it.

In the ancient world, the line between genius and madness was perilously thin. The Greeks, who gave us the word enthousiasmos (divine inspiration), often viewed those of exceptional insight with deep suspicion. The philosopher Socrates was not celebrated for his probing questions; he was tried and executed for “corrupting the youth” and impiety. His relentless logic was seen not as a gift, but as a dangerous disruption to the social and religious order. This set a troubling precedent: to think differently was to be a threat.

This dynamic is captured in Plato’s Allegory of the Cave. The one prisoner who is freed, who sees the sun (knowledge) and understands the true nature of reality, is met not with gratitude when he returns to the cave, but with ridicule and hostility. His fellow prisoners see him as a fool whose journey has ruined his eyesight. The allegory is a perfect metaphor for the fate of the high-IQ individual throughout history: they see a world of patterns, connections, and possibilities invisible to others, and their attempts to describe it are often met with fear, mockery, or outright aggression.

The Renaissance, for all its celebration of human potential, was no safe haven. Galileo Galilei, whose observations of the heavens confirmed a heliocentric solar system, was not honored by the Church for his discovery. He was branded a heretic, forced to recant his scientific truths, and spent the final years of his life under house arrest. His intellect directly challenged a deeply held, comfortable worldview, and the establishment’s response was to silence and stigmatize him. He was not a hero in his own time; he was a threat.

This historical pattern is rooted in a fundamental human psychology. We are social creatures, hardwired for belonging. Our tribes, whether familial, cultural, or intellectual, are built on shared norms, beliefs, and modes of communication. The exceptionally intelligent individual often operates outside these norms. Their thinking can be non-linear, their interests arcane, and their conversation peppered with references and concepts unfamiliar to the majority. This difference is easily misinterpreted:

· As Arrogance: When a high-IQ person struggles to explain a concept they find obvious, it can be perceived as condescension. The gap in comprehension creates a frustrating asymmetry that is often blamed on the communicator, not the complexity of the idea.
· As Eccentricity or Madness: Intense focus on abstract problems, a trait common among the highly gifted, can be socially isolating. Behaviors that are merely different are often pathologized, fitting the convenient and ancient narrative of the "mad genius."
· As a Threat: As with Socrates and Galileo, a mind that can deconstruct flawed logic, predict systemic failures, or imagine radical new possibilities is inherently destabilizing to the status quo. Those who benefit from the current system—or are simply comfortable within it—have a strong incentive to discredit the thinker rather than engage with the thought.

The stigmatization is not merely a matter of historical anecdote; it is a lived reality with tangible consequences. In modern educational systems, "gifted" students are often pulled from classes, which can lead to resentment from peers and a feeling of alienation for the child. They are labelled "nerds," "geeks," or "know-it-alls," social punishments for the crime of intellectual ability. In the workplace, a brilliant employee who constantly questions flawed processes can be branded "not a team player" or "difficult," their valuable insights lost to the comfort of corporate inertia.

The tragedy of this perennial misunderstanding is a double loss. First, we lose the individual. The high-IQ person, constantly signaling to fit in, may suppress their own abilities, leading to underachievement, anxiety, and depression—a phenomenon known as the "imposter syndrome" turned inside out. They are forced to dim their own light to avoid casting an uncomfortable shadow.

Second, and more critically, we lose their contribution. For every celebrated Einstein, there are countless brilliant minds whose potential was squelched by a world that demanded conformity. The solutions to our most complex problems—climate change, political polarization, resource scarcity—will not be found by thinking in the same old grooves. They will require the kind of radical, pattern-seeking, paradigm-shifting insight that is the hallmark of high intelligence.

To learn from this history is to practice a new kind of humility. It is to recognize that when we encounter someone whose ideas seem strange, whose conversation is difficult to follow, or whose questions make us uncomfortable, we might be standing at the mouth of Plato’s cave. The appropriate response is not to reach for a rock, but to listen more carefully. It is to understand that the curse of insight is often loneliness, and the greatest gift we can offer the misunderstood genius of today is not a statue after they are gone, but a willingness to understand them while they are here.

“For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest, And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more: (For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart: And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.”(Hebrews 12:18-24). Amen.❤🙏

When?

How is Kaduna? I was born there, but I live in the east now

SkyBizzy:
When?

I pray it will be well now. Where there's life, there's hope. Opportunity comes only to the living.

“And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.

And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. — Mark 9:42-48

Amen.

I pray it will be well.

“...Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them. But it shall not be so among you...”(MATTHEW 20:25,26).

THIS IS THE PROMISE OF LOVE. “But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”(Philippians 4:19). Amen.

Benwallt:
But the serious question that begs for answer here is, what's the motive of Chiemere? Is he sure of getting settled after killing his boss and his family? What exactly is the reason for the needless bloodletting

Education is very important. If I hadn't been educated, gaining emotional intelligence, etc, I could've done exactly what this boy did. Thank God I'm educated. Education is the way!

If only all levels of education was free in this country. This boy was not carved for that type of life; he should have been studying in some university. May God provide for every kid who loves education but can't afford it.

Also, parents, if you know that you can't take care of children till they can stand as adults, then don't make babies. Thanks.

“...the whole world lieth in wickedness.”(1 John 5:19).

“...the whole world lieth in wickedness.”(1 John 5:19).

And Mr Beast is my age mate o. E no go better for the people wey spoil this our country Naijiria. Amen.

This is the word of God; and I believe the word of God:
“ But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things....These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you. But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.”(1John 2:20,26,27). Amen.

The other day, a lady from the US asked me if it's true that wild animals roam the streets of Africa like pedestrians.

.. WTF? 🤥🤥

But they do; in human form.

OK, Dr. Bola Abiodun, I apologize on her behalf, for Jesus' sake, she shall not die, but live and declare the works of the LORD. Amen.

The world lieth in wickedness. May she find Christ.

pkasso:
Hmmn. . That's an interesting way to look at it. You can't spell 'Infamous' without 'famous'.

But I don't think the younger generations aka Gen Z and Gen Alpha are familiar with Sanni Abacha and the atrocities of his military regime. I'm not even sure if History is still being taught in our schools today.

Outside of Nigeria, I don't think his name will ring too many bells.

I'm GenZ, and I was born during Abacha's regime.

There's no such thing as Truth outside Christ; that which some people call ‘truth’ are full of fallacies and biases.

The sentence of death was upon us through sin, but Christ took it upon Himself: He exchanged His Life for our death. Thank You God.

“For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.”(2 Corinthians 5:21). Amen.

The Cross of Calvary carries more than we could possibly tell.

There the immortal died.

There the most holy became sin, and opened the most holy place to you and for me.(Matthew 27:51).

At the Cross, the forevermore blessed became a curse to that the blessedness of Abraham might be ours.(Galatians 3:13,14).

There the “foolishness of God” became wiser than the “wisdom of men”.(1 Corinthians 1:25).

On mount Calvary, the Great Judge became the Propitiation, and Our Great High Priest became the Great Paschal Lamb of God, who took away our sin.(John 1:29;5:22;1John 4:10;Hebrews 4:14).

He cut off from the land of the living, that we may live, and behold, He lives forevermore, and because He lives, we will live also.(Isaiah 53:8; John 14:19)

At Calvary, the Light of the world took away our darkness, and gave us His light.(Matthew 4:16;27:45)

At Calvary, the Heir of all things became poor, that you and I may be rich.(2 Corinthians 8:9).

Calvary is the symbol of love.

Don't reject this Love.

Accept Him as your personal Lord and Saviour, today, and He will save you from your sins.

He tasted hell, so you and I can live together with Him forever in heaven.(John 14:3;Ephesians 4:9,10).

“ For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.”(2 Corinthians 5:21). Amen.

“... The Son of man is not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them. ... ”(Luke 9:56).


Jesus did not waste His life to come and die. He did it because there was a prize: our life.

He did not want is to perish; God did not want us to perish, so Christ came and suffered and died for you and I.

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”(John 3:16).

Just leave that sin today and come to the Saviour. He is willing with open arms to receive you. Your sins will be forgiven, and you will become a new creature in Christ Jesus. Today. Before it's too late.


“For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.”(John 3:17-21).

He is waiting, but don't let Him wait for too long. Hell is real, and Jesus is the only ESCAPE.

There are scriptures that will leave you shocked. Weren't the righteous suppose to have it all rosy? Aren't Wisdom, Knowledge and understanding suppose to bring only glory?

How then is it that the prophesy of Daniel clearly said, “And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days. Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries. And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed.”(Daniel 11:33-35).


Remember the words of the Lord, Jesus: “ ...it shall turn to you for a testimony. ”(Luke 21:13).

Some times, God allows some things to ‘befall’ the righteous, not to punish them, but to write a story.

Think of Abraham, journeying from place to place without a child of his own, yet, with the promise of God, and at the appointed time, he had his Isaac.

Think of Joseph, with good testimony from day one, yet he went from privilege to pit, from pit to prison, and then to palace.

Job fell from the ivory tower of wealth, to the dunghill of ashes and potsherds, but by the end of the day, he had double promotion.

Indeed, the word of God is true, which says, “ For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.”(Isaiah 55:8,9).


When the enemy thinks that it's over, God will turn your test into a testimony. “... weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. ”(Psalms 30:5).


“... the evening and the morning were the first day.”(Genesis 1:5).

After the evening comes the morning, God is wiping away those tears from your eyes. Good Morning FRIEND.

Nigeria needs one million soldiers to man every street.

“... ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.”(Acts 1:. Amen.

“ As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.

If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.

These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.

This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.

Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.

Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

These things I command you, that ye love one another.”(John 15:9-17). Amen.
