True Christians (Jehovah's Witnesses) are doing just so!

As a believer I'm indifferent about any one or Church that preaches undiluted doctrines in the Bible. I'm a Christian first and it wouldn't matter what Church you're from except we agree on the tenents of the Bible especially these end times.

Romans 14:4, states:

"Who are you to pass judgment on the servant of another? It is before his own master that he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make him stand."

This verse highlights the idea that individuals should refrain from judging or condemning others who are accountable to a higher authority, in this case, their Master or Lord. The passage emphasizes that it is not our place to judge the actions or decisions of someone else's servant, as they ultimately answer to their own Master.

Kobojunkie:
But God never said He punished Sodom and Gomorrah because of Sexual immorality and perversions. Rather God weighed them and found them generally wicked. In the same way He weighed other Nations such as Assyria —Nineveh, Moab, etc. Recall God weighed their general unrighteousness, sort of same way God did back before He decided the world at the time of Noah needed to be destroyed.

Please was there any other specific reason recorded in the Bible why Sodom and Gomorrah was destroyed apart from the quote in the book of Jude (a couple). Those men were going to rape Abraham's visitors. The kind of depravity the enemy is ministering in the world today.

You know there's no philosophical approach to the interpretation to the words of the Bible Me n you have argued enough issues on this platform already. I ain't even gonna git banned a second b.

Kobojunkie:
First of all, what God did to Sodom and Gomorrah had nothing to do with Homosexuality

"In a similar way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire."
Jude 1:7
LGBTQ tribe. Nasty ones. God hated them..get it?

"For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: and likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient."
Romans 1:26‭-‬28 KJV

Introduction:

Matthew 25:44-45 sets the tone for understanding the need for Christians to identify with the less privileged during economic recessions and epidemic situations. It states, "Then they also will answer, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?' Then he will answer them, saying, 'Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.'"

• Christians need to prioritize the needs of the poor and the needy at all times. The words from the Bible encourages selflessness and empathy towards the less privileged.
On the day of Pentecost (Acts Chapter 2) the Apostles of Jesus led by Peter had preached the Gospel to unbelievers whom were astonished by supernatural events that was taking place that day. They people not only listened but through their faith and the grace of God were baptised in the Holy Spirit (these people became the early church) as prophesised through the scriptures. History recorded that they lived in one accord.
Acts 2:44-47 says that:
"And all who believed were together, and had everything in common. And they sold their possessions and goods, and distributed them to everyone, as each one had need.
And they continued daily with one accord in the temple, and broke bread from house to house, and ate their food with gladness and sincerity of heart, praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the Church daily those who were being saved."



Today we have a church that is waxing cold (Matthew 24: 12)
The Church should not only seek to some founder's infastructural vision or self interests, but the interests of the fellowship individually and collectively (especially the less privileged) as stated in Philippians 2 verse 4.
"Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others."
The end of the passage (Acts of Apostles 2) states that the Church increased daily. A chivalrous church.




• Christians are called to be compassionate and generous, extending help and support to those facing economic hardships and health crises. Proverbs 3:27 states that:
"Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to do it." This verse emphasizes the importance of taking action when we have the means to assist others.

• The very essence of love in a fellowship of Christians is to actively contribute to the well-being (spiritually and materially) of their fellow believers and to extend hospitality to those in need. Romans 12, verse 13 ("Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality" highlights the importance of providing assistance and support during challenging times to members of the fellowship (budding believers and the mature christians alike).



"In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven."
- Matthew 5:16

• Christians are called to be a beacon of hope and compassion, demonstrating their faith through acts of kindness and generosity. By helping the less privileged during economic recessions and epidemics, they reflect God's love and bring glory to Him by action through faith in His words.

Conclusion:
James 1:27 provides a fitting conclusion to our discussion: "Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world." This verse emphasizes that it is both a privilege and a responsibility for Christians to care for the less privileged during difficult times. By embracing this duty, Christians not only fulfill their spiritual calling but also demonstrate their gratitude for the blessings they have received.

The scriptures of the the Bible serve as guidance for Christians. We would only feel the need to actively engage with and support the less privileged as we grow in faith. We become a replica of the love of our life, our Savior from whom we have received a great inheritance through His love towards the church.

And so it is that chivalry lives in us through Christ Jesus. Amen.

Kobojunkie:
Bible does not say anything like that. Rather, Jesus Christ warned each Individual follower of His against living as the hypocrites do.

The church is not a building or structure yet you all treat it exactly like that, an organization for you to spew your own private rules at. Isn't that interesting?

3. That is a load of hogwash if you ask me since Jesus Christ never said that of the enemy He spoke of.

Go sleep it off bro

Challenges are meant to groom us.

The Bible explains in Isaiah 48: 10, "Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have tried you in the furnace of affliction."

So the secret to overcoming adversity might not be to overcome it at all, but rather to change the way you view and approach it.

Develop wiser ways of dealing with challenges by exercising yourself in the wisdom that can only found in the word of God (2 Timothy 3: 16)

Begin to appreciate those challenges for how they’ll help produce growth in the long run.

Those who are newer to the game tend to respond to a problem by immediately seeking a “remedy.” Hence our focus on overcoming adversity, rather than on looking to the opportunity it carries with it.

Of course, there’s nothing inherently wrong with solving a problem, but going about it our own way can be fustrating. Every adversity is a potential moment to learn, grow, or create new opportunities.
For an hyperactive adult, I needed quality time to calm down. I was able to step aside, redefine my situation through the eye of God and harness some of my God's given resources on a sick bed.

I’ve specifically identified 7 powerful success forces that get unleashed when we change our focus from overcoming adversity to unleashing its power in our life and work.

Face your next challenge not only with an eye on overcoming adversity, but also with an awareness of the powerful benefits it carries with it. How ?

1. Adversity rewards natural strengths.

In adversity, we tend to go with our gut more than we do in moments of ease and prosperity. When our brain is clouded by a problem, our natural instincts take over (including the instinct for survival).

In the absence of “luxuries” like ample time or brain space—both of which can also give you room to overthink things—you naturally function according to your power-alley attributes.

Which is to say, you function at your best.

2. Adversity exposes weaknesses.

When you’re in a moment of disaster, it’s extremely difficult to hide all the stuff that’s weak and broken in your team, organization, procedures, or anything else.

This has a lot to do with that old adage “when it rains it pours.” When things get messy, all the messes come out.

Okay, so now the trees are all blown down. The camouflage is burned away. What’s left? Exposed weakness.

And once you know what’s broken, you know what you need to fix. That fix might lead to resolution of the problem in question, but it will also certainly help you avert future disaster.

3. Adversity creates opportunities.

Something what you thought was inconsequential might actually be an opportunity, but you won’t see that until when your insight reveals it (consistent readers of the Bible can attestify to this as a fact).

Have you lost a job ?
It clearly an opportunity to take time to re-asses your vision and natural attributes—those very strengths you once took for granted because they’re so inherent

It could be a doorway to embark on a completely new career where they find a level of success and fulfillment you never would have achieved if the former system had not effected a change.

4. Adversity releases pent-up energy

In a crisis situation, there’s a sense of urgency that can get you moving. “When the going gets tough, the tough get going,” right?

We all know that in an emergency, adrenaline allows people to run faster, lift heavier things, etc. Life obstacles have the same effect.

Which is why sometimes, the answer to the amazed question “How’d you do that?” is “Because I had to!”

5. Adversity destroys old paradigms

Paradigms—or mental models—are essentially just habits of thought.

If some broken old way of thinking is actually holding you back, a crisis is likely to reveal that, expose you to new ways of thinking, and—best of all—give you the shake-up you need to actually change the paradigm for the better.

Are you depressed and finding difficult to harness the key resources needed to prevail over circumstances ?
You need more TIME for yourself.

Develop a prayer cum Bible reading plan.
'Time' is the currency of the spirit. Let your inner being (spirit man) transform you.

The Bible teaches us in the book of Ephesians 5: 15-17 "So, then, be careful how you live. Do not be unwise but wise, making the best use of your time because the times are evil. Therefore, do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is."

Colossians 4: 5 also says- "Behave wisely toward outsiders, making the best use of your time."

The only ANTIDOTE to ADVERSITY can be found in the words of GOD (His Spirit) beloved. By exercising in it you condition your spirit in comformity to how your creator will have you.

Remember:
"In him was light, and that life was the light of all mankind.
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it."
- John 1: 4-5

Stay blessed.

Kobojunkie:
Jesus Christ gave those particular commandments to the individual in His Gospel. So you waiting for your church organizations to do what Jesus Christ instead told you to do is against Jesus Christ.

Your church organizations are basically businesses owned and operated by men many have chosen to delegate the mandate given them by Jesus Christ to, and this in itself is against God who never said a man could pass on his duties to another.

The Bible cautions against those who claim to be part of the church but live hypocritical lives or reject the teachings of Christ. It emphasizes the importance of discernment and genuine faith. You dig!?

The Church is not the building, the founder or whatever structure man has put in place kobo..it is a gathering of people who worship God in Spirit and in Truth and best believe the gates of hell shall not prevail.
Becareful as you drift to the other side (by now you know we ain't got live for those).

"They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us".
1 John 2:19 KJV

"For not knowing about God's righteousness and seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God."
Romans 10:3 KJV

The enemy is not meant to be understood as specific individuals or groups to be hated, but rather as spiritual forces that oppose the work and teachings of Christ.

Please if you choose arguing the subject further I'll advise you check again the response I gave to the other mentioner that blabbed about government and stuff...okay.

Tyktoker:
This is just part of the fraud,it's not important to point to scriptures that talk about the less privileged. The christian political elites should be light to their non christian counterpart running the country on the need to have a national identity data base that would capture all human beings under social safety net with capital punishment for bypassing it, like the developed nations are doing, these countries are not desperate to kill by hanging but one person's act of corruption kills not one but plenty of lives, so it is better to lose one than thousands to corruption, untill then there is nothing like Christianity in Nigeria. If the Muslims can't push for it they are the light, they should do it. We should stop quoting bible in hell, God cant be so wicked to allow a place like Nigeria where human beings live like non humans, I'm sure hell is not as tortuous as Nigeria, no! God cant be that wicked! You think it's a joke that developed countries criminalized religion? Because the person killing you will come back clapping and shouting hallelujah with you in the church and in the mosque and making fat donations to God from your stolen destiny, that is what we have in Nigeria, you people should stop quoting scripturs everywhere, it's of no use.

Titus 3:9: "But avoid foolish controversies, genealogies, dissensions, and quarrels about the law, for they are unprofitable and worthless."

I am guided. I guess you should ask by wh....

Alchemy528:
Cool

Thanks bro. That is Christianity, just as God would have it. 💝

Yes, there are several passages in the Bible that speak about the duties of the church to the less privileged. Here are a few:

1. James 1:27:
"Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world." This verse highlights the responsibility of the church to care for the vulnerable members of society, such as orphans and widows. It emphasizes the importance of providing practical support and demonstrating God's love to those in need.

2. Galatians 6:2:
"Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ." The church is called to support and help one another, especially during times of difficulty. By sharing the burdens of the less privileged, the church demonstrates Christ's love and fulfills His commandments.

3. Acts 20:35:
"In all things I have shown you that by working hard in this way we must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'" This verse reminds the church of the importance of actively helping the weak and less privileged. It encourages the church to work diligently and sacrificially to provide for those in need.

4. 1 John 3:17:
"But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him?" This verse emphasizes the duty of the church to extend practical help and support to those who are in need. It challenges believers to be compassionate and generous in their actions, reflecting God's love to others.

These passages highlight the church's responsibility to actively engage with and support the less privileged in society. By fulfilling these duties, the church demonstrates God's love, promotes justice, and brings hope to those in need.

Introduction:
Love and forgiveness are powerful virtues that not only shape our relationships with brethren and antagonists alike but also contribute to our spiritual growth in manifesting as a true son of God.

In this article, we will explore the significance of extending love to our enemies, detesting malice, recognizing the spiritual nature of our battles. Ultimately, we will conclude by highlighting the strength of our relationship with God when we embrace these cardinal rules.

1. Why love should be extended to our enemies:
- Love transcends boundaries and transforms hearts, even in the face of enmity.
- The Bible teaches us to love our enemies, as stated in Matthew 5:44: "But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you."
- Jesus demonstrated this love by forgiving those who crucified Him, setting an example for us to follow.

2. Detesting malice:
- Malice, or ill-will, is strongly condemned in the Bible.
- Romans 12:9 affirms our duty to abhor what is evil and hold fast to what is good.
- Holding onto malice hinders our spiritual growth and damages our relationships.

3. Our warfare is spiritual:
- The Bible reminds us that our battles are not merely physical but spiritual in nature.
- Ephesians 6:12 states, "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms."
- Recognizing the spiritual dimension allows us to approach conflicts with love and forgiveness, understanding that our true enemy is not the person, but the spiritual forces behind their actions.

4. Extending love to ourselves:
- Self-love and self-forgiveness are essential for personal growth.
- Jesus taught, "Love your neighbor as yourself" (Matthew 22:39). This implies that we must also love and forgive ourselves.
- Embracing self-compassion enables us to extend the same grace to others.

5. Reconciliation and healing:
- Love and forgiveness pave the way for reconciliation and healing in relationships.
- The Bible encourages us to seek reconciliation with others, as seen in Matthew 5:23-24: "Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother or sister has something against you, leave your gift there in front of the altar. First, go and be reconciled to them; then come and offer your gift."
- Through love and forgiveness, we can restore broken relationships and experience God's healing power.

Conclusion:
When we embrace the cardinal rules of love and forgiveness, we strengthen our relationship with God and experience spiritual growth. By extending love to our enemies, detesting malice, recognizing the spiritual nature of our battles, and embracing self-love and reconciliation, we align ourselves with God's will. In doing so, we cultivate a deeper connection with Him, experience personal growth, and contribute to a more loving and forgiving world.

Kanye a billionaire again. Bianca bringing out the best version of Kanye, while not being needy of social media attention.

Even North loving Bianca more by the day...

Eat your heart out, Kim!

Kanye who?

"Haven’t you read," he replied, "that at the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female,' and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh'? So, they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, let no one separate." (NIV translation)
- Matthew 19: 4-6


DIVORCE can have various negative consequences on individuals and families. As christians it is important for us to explore the biblical perspective on divorce and understand how it can impact our lives and the lives of our loved ones. Little wonder JESUS highlights the will of GOD in the 19th Chapter of the book of Matthew (when the Pharisees came to test Him on the matter), here we are able to further come to terms with the sanctity of the marriage institute.

"....‘Why then,’ they asked, ‘did Moses command that a man give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?’
Jesus replied, ‘Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning. I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.’"
- Matthew 19: 7-8


Adultery. As seen through the eye of the scriptures is a breech of the sanctity of the marriage institution and also is a spiritual sacrilege as our accuser will rightly point out as a legal right to afflict our soul and also diminish the Spirit of God that identifies us as children. This (spiritual) defilement can only be averted when we walk steadfastly with God by constant fellowship through reading the word of God consistently. This enhances a spiritual power (of discipline and sound mind) on the other hand the wages of every unrepented sin is death.

In 1 Peter 5:8, it is written, "Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour."
This verse suggests that Satan seeks to exploit our spiritual (hence emotional) weaknesses and lead us astray. Although most victims justify divorce (like every sin man has had the liberty to indulge in) as a right to exercise universal liberty, the Bible however warns that "there is a way that seems right but it eventually leads to death" (Proverbs 14: 13).
A Christian needs to constantly seek wisdom and discernment from God rather than relying solely on our own understanding. There are so many dangers in following our own paths or the ways of the world, although it seem right or appealing but it ultimately leads to long lasting negative consequences on our lives and on our family and also spiritual death through a severed relationship with our Maker as a result of living in disobedience.
There is great gain trusting in the Lord and following His teachings for true guidance and fulfillment in marriage. GOD also equips us in being able to fulfill all our filial and social responsibilities through the Holy Spirit (John 14: 26) in Whom we are able to grow in (Galatians 5: 22-23)



Disadvantages of Divorce:

1. Emotional Turmoil:
Divorce often brings immense emotional distress. It brings pain, sorrow, and a sense of loss to both the spouses and their children. The Bible fortifies the Christian against such affliction. In the place of pain there is rejoicing, in the place of sorrow there's joy and no sense of loss, just forgiveness and testimonies on the things God has done. As we grow in faith by the word we become prone to Satan's antics and become alive in doing the will of God. We become pleasant to associate and to be reconciled with. The very nature of a loving God.
The book of Malachi illustrates God's abhorrence of divorce, stating that "He hates divorce" (Malachi 2: 16). It never was God's design for the marriage institution as it is a norm in our society today.

2. Breakdown of Lineage Blessings:
Divorce leads to the fragmentation of family units. Instead of having a strong foundation built on the foundation of God's purpose what we have is the seed of unfulfillment as a pattern in the lives of every divided home.
A great Judge appointed by God once (in the book of Joshua 24: 15) proclaimed that regardless of whatever circumstance his lineage starting from him will forever serve the Lord. With such proclaimations and a sound relationship with the Spirit of God lineage curses and their evil authority wielders are known to have been pulverized.
In Ephesians 5:22-25, it is emphasized that husbands and wives should love and submit to each other as Christ loves the church, such instruction are the bedrock for a long lasting union. “Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins.” (1 Peter 4:.
Love swallows a lot of inadequacies and shortcoming with a far reaching foresight that only the Spirit of God can provide.
“Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.”
1 Corinthians 13:4-7.

3. Impact on Children:
Divorce can have a profound impact on children's lives, as they often face confusion, insecurity, and emotional trauma. Children from broken families often experience instability and struggle to cope with life. Rejection is a camouflaged vermin in the mind of children that have experienced divorce. A lot of destinies have been destroyed through rejection. Most of juveniles we have as delinquents, addicts and social misfits have been known to be products of a broken marriage, except in situations where God has been allowed to intervene in the situation before the devil and his agents destroy the union and God's purpose for their offspring.
In Malachi 2:16, God encourages spouses to consider the welfare of their children and strive to keep the marital bond.

4. Financial Challenges:
Divorce often results in financial hardships. Such repercussions can affect the overall well-being of both spouses and children. Proverbs 21:5 reminds us of the importance of wise financial planning and responsible decision-making which is a major source of misery in our world. It has never been easier for a single parent, even in places where their system supports divorce conveniently.



The Bible no doubt consistently upholds the sanctity of marriage, discouraging divorce except in cases of unfaithfulness (Matthew 19:9). It encourages couples to work through their difficulties and seek reconciliation instead of resorting to divorce. By understanding and adhering to the biblical teachings on marriage, we can strive to create stable and nurturing environments not only for ourselves but also for our children, reflecting the divine plan for family unity and love (Ephesians 6:1-4). Let us honor our commitment to God, ensuring that divorce does not become the solution to our marital challenges, but rather a last resort considering the destructive and long lasting effects of this monster (divorce) and allow a sound relationship with God help preserve the sanctity of marriage and the future of our homes.

So what I did early hours of today (4:30am) was to transfer 75k from my Access app to my Opay. It read "successful" on my Access account and failed on my Opay. Opay has a wonderful interface, it showed "network interruption" later it came up with"failed transaction". My wife is coming in for the weekend. She's been on a course at the northern part of the country. Having planned and rehearsed a 2day treat for her before she heads back on Monday. I swung into action desperately and logged in a loan app, I was able to get 30k which I believe could salvage the situation.
I did get the needed an amount to prudently manage the situation on ground...but did I get more ish?
The recieving bank from the loan app was Polaris. Dem too dey get dem own brand of craze so I decided to send it to my wallet. Guess what?

I'm not just feeling myself. The woman go board plane and I'm still here sending my screenshots to buddies all over for help (as if the money no dey me). My next business transaction payment is coming up on Tuesday.
