10 things you shouldn't do to or with your pastor .

A thread .
1. You should not worship your pastor . He is a gift of God to be honored but not worshipped . To worship your pastor is to make him the centre whereas Jesus is to be the centre of your worship. A good pastor ensures that Jesus is centre of your life and not him .
2. Do not gossip about your pastor . Gossip makes Satan's work against your pastor easier . Especially when bad press comes from you who are close to him or attends the ministry . Have an issue ? Go and discuss it before your pastor rather than behind him .
3. Do not be stingy to your pastor . If you have a dedicated and hard-working pastor who is laboring over you ensure you are generous towards him . It is an act of honor and gratitude. Don't be stingy to your own gift from God !
4. Do not commit immorality with your pastor . While the pastor could be admired ,this admiration must never translate to lust . Never ever be in that place where you are open to sleeping with or sinning with your pastor . Never ever give room for this . Never !
5. Support the ministry and calling of your pastor . God has called him . It is wisdom to be a pillar in that ministry knowing that you are doing God's will . Do not be an inconsequential member of your local church . Be a pillar !
6. Cover his nakedness . Every man has a weakness . There are things people are susceptible to . If this weakness is not a moral one then learn to walk in love towards your pastor . If it is a sin that needs addressing then call the attention of the elders to it .
7.pray for your pastor . This is so important . Ensure you put your pastor in prayer daily . Praying for your pastor is praying for yourself . God uses this gift to bless you .It is wisdom to pray for Gods gift to you
8. Do not lie for or to your pastor .

This is self explanatory .
9. Solve a problem in his life . Everyone needs complementing . What thing does your pastor lack ? Good teacher but poor administrator ? Very anointed but poor time keeper ? Complement his gift ! When you do the whole ministry looks more beautiful.
10. Be a good disciple of his teachings .
The greatest joy of a pastor is to have disciples who represent the message being taught . Be a great ambassador of what you are being taught !

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 .
