These are the issues @costiwhinn and co have with @stevenfurtick and @Hillsong . It is a theological issue and I think that it is wisdom not to carelessly call another minister or ministry heretic because of your disagreement with what they teach . I will highlight them .
1. In the evangelical movement that @costiwhinn belongs to they teach that poverty and Prosperity can be Gods will . This means that God could actually send pack and poverty your way to “teach “ you something .
2 . They teach that sickness and disease can come from God . So for instance if a man has cancer that cancer could be Gods will for him . According to them God doesn’t always want you healthy at times he wants you sick .
3. They teach that christ was God in nature and power on earth . That all the miracles Jesus did on the earth he did as God not a man . Their christology is deeply flawed . It is rooted in the fact that they don’t really see miracles so explain it as they are not God .
The differences are doctrinal and deeply so . My issue is with this attitude some evangelicals have in maintaining an us vs them position because they don’t agree with a position. The flaws in their positions are at times gaping and theologically ridiculous !

Understanding the New birth .

Many times we have heard this exhortation “ Be born again !” Or you even hear people say things like “ let’s get you born again “ .

The idea these phrases communicate is that there is a formulae to the new birth and a sinner can just be born again
by his own will .

What does the Bible actually say ?

John 3:3-5
3   Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
4   Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old?
can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
5   Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

The phrase “ be born “ is the Greek word “gennethe “

Channels of my Spirit

I will be honest .

I had objections to the term “channels of my spirit “ was used by Dunsin Oyekan when he first released this song .

I also spoke to my choir head not to sing it in our churches at the time
I had noticed a recent influence of certain middle eastern terms with certain gospel musicians .
I mean terms like “portals” ,“ascend”, “vibrations “,“energy” etc .
However ,I had to take a closer look at the lyrics of this particular song and give the writer the benefit of doubt
So what are the channels of the spirit ?

Does the spirit of man have channels ?

What is a channel ?
A channel is a gateway into a place . It is a means of accessing a place .
If I said that “the road to my house is blocked “ , I mean that there is no way to get to my house .

How to deal with Porn addiction .

Let me start by saying that porn addiction is not a morality issue . It is a neurological issue . I didn’t say porn isn’t a moral issue , I said “porn addiction “ isn’t a moral issue .

A lot of shame and guilt
surrounds this addiction especially in the Christian community that most people suffer in silence .

Studies have shown in surveys of even clergy , that a high percentage of ministers are porn addicts . Now imagine what the percentage must be for the regular church guy .
One major challenge within the Christian community as it regards porn is that we have spiritualized it . We have made it about demons of lust because of the compulsive component of it without us understanding how addictions work .
I will attempt to explain as simply as possible

I love and welcome open conversations about Christianity . A religion so open has nothing to hide .

So let’s unpack this thread from the “ Christianity came to Africa because of colonizers “ . Is this true ?
Well, it’s not .

Africans became Christians long before Europeans .

Britain ( Britannia ) , France ( Franchia ) , Sweden , Iceland ( Vikings) where all idol worshippers when Ethiopia was a Christian Nation .

There where African Christians in the scriptures.
You have Simon the “Nigger “ in Acts 13:1 -3 who was from Cyrene . You had the Ethiopian eunuch who took the gospel to the nation and led his Queen Candace to Christ . The Ethiopian church even had a pope as far back as the third century !

10 things the single Man must know before marriage .

A thread !
1. It is not about you !

My queen @_tolaniolaleye tells me this regularly .

Don’t make the marriage about your needs , your dreams alone . You must be ready to sacrifice for your significant other in the marriage . A self-centred man will frustrate his wife .
2.You don’t have to respond to everything.

There are things to respond to and things to ignore . Having a great marriage will depend on being able to differentiate these two things .

It’s not every thing said by your spouse that you should react to .

10 Red flags to note in relationships .

A thread !
1. Secrecy - There is a difference between being private and being secretive . Anyone who doesn’t want people to know you are dating may have somethings they are hiding . It’s ok to be private but alarm bells should ring where there is secrecy .
2. Barter - The relationship is almost always about what is being exchanged . While there will be exchanges in every relationship, an undue focus on this will indicate that someone is there for something they can get and not what they can give .
